Session 06
General Summary
23rd of Highwinter
- The goblins did as they said they would and the party heads back to down to collect the cart.
- We make it to out of the Weather Hills and to the edge of the Lower Bolwood. We stop to camp in early dusk and divide to set up camp and hunt.
- Halrick, Asira, and Dubak go out to hunt and find food and Mariana and Beck stay back to set up camp.
- Asira catches the tracks of a deer for Haldrick to hunt down, which he spooks but eventually clumsily hits, and sends Dubak in the direction of a stream to look for catfish, which he catches.
- Asira goes to look for fruiting trees, nuts, and berries, but as it's not the right season she finds nothing.
- Surf and turf is on the menu in the nice camping spot. The night is uneventful after dinner. Dubak cures some meat, Owl goes hunting, and the party rests peacefully among the skittering of rodents.
- Asira and Dubak translate another page in The Book of Norvus.
24th of Highwinter
- The next morning we set out and come across a river that is 8-9 ft. deep. We walk upstream to find a more shallow spot to cross the river. After an hour we find a curve in the river and check the depth which is now 5 ft. deep. We fashion a makeshift raft to float the cart across behind the horse pulling it and all make it across safely.
- It's dusk as we've made it through 1/3 of the woods. Dubak and I translate another page of The Book of Norvus. Asira does an inventory of her healer's kit to make note of what to be on the look for.
25th of Highwinter
- We set out again the next morning. Asira and Dubak hear the sounds of cracking and maybe mild voices to the west. Asira turns into a fox to go check it out and comes across a solitary Ettin. She relays what she saw to the rest of the party.
- Hoping that the Ettin speaks Orc, Dubak approaches the Ettin, and they are speaking Orc to eachother. Dubak hails them. He tries to show him that he's no threat and speaks very diplomatically to the Ettin.
- He engages them in dialogue. They explain to Dubak that they come from upper Lower Bolwood. Some Goblins invaded their territory and they left, but have arguing since whether that was the right decision, since they had lived there a few years, but the goblins were taking up their food supply.
- Dubak persuades the Ettin, easily, to return to their homeland to fight the goblins, and gets a +1 battle axe for his efforts.
