Session 38: Hearts of Gold

General Summary

- The Lads wake in their beds in Little Laddy's, greeted by a beautiful chromatic sky as the Sonn rises, and they go downstairs for breakfast. - Hettle returns from his night spent with the skeletons at Grimm Farm and noticed a new sign above the front door of Little Laddy's that reads, "Home of The Lads." - Entering the tavern, Hettle also notices four bounties on the bounty board, now with a sign above reading, "Bounties for The Lads." - One bounty requests a grocery list of wild ingredients, another asks just for a specific creature's blood, the third asks for purple flowers, and the last one refers to a "Big Money Opportunity." - After reading them, the Lads converse about their motivations and collectively decide to travel to Evemora by walking to Krong and sailing there. - They bring their horse and cart to Horace to hold on to them while they travel, and he graciously informs them that they can keep their horses and carts with him for free for as long as they like. - The Lads begin walking to Krong, and during the first day of travel, they encounter a travelling merchant who sells 29 pieces of parchment to Hettle and two healing potions to Vikivath. - That night, the Lads camp on the side of the road, and Willow searches for purple flowers to no avail. - On the following day of travel, the Lads are ambushed by 9 Goblins, 4 Hobgoblins, and a Goblin Boss that refuse to surrender or negotiate when Glen asks them to in their tongue. - All of the Goblinoids are killed, but one Goblin is left unconscious for questioning. - They asked why it attacked them and where it came from, but it consistently and annoyingly refused and gave no information. - Muda knocks it unconscious again and carries it with them to Krong, and ties it to a tree the next night, but it begins biting the rope before Hettle sets it free. - In the morning, Hettle admits to freeing the Goblin, saying there was no reason to keep it around or kill it. - During the third day of travel, the Lads notice three black bears walking through the forest but choose to avoid interacting with them. - At night, Hettle notices a pack of 4 wolves and one larger wolf nearby but leaves them be. - The next day of travel is uneventful, a final long day of walking before the Lads reach Krong as the Sonn sets.
