Of Victory & Defeat: Chapter 4 - Part 1: Save the Helpless 2.25.21

General Summary

Summershaw at Night

Balcoth's vanguard had already infested the city when the party approached. Troops of goblins scurried from house to house, stealing, pillaging, and setting fire to the good people's homes and chattel. Livestock, one of the few income opportunities in the small village, had been slaughtered by the enemy in their attempt to quell their insatiable thirst for destruction. Into this chaos the party sneaks, searching area to area for survivors. Saewen and Elasha told them of three opportunities, an Inn, a Farm, and a small Cottage on south part of town.

The Inn

After fighting through a group of goblins in the woods, and lighting a fire to distract some more, Vargas is able to find the Inn Seawen had told them about. There is an old woman who was too sick to move on the top floor. As they approach, Vandre comes up with a plan for part of the company to scale the second window and try and get into the building that way, while the heavier hitters, Vandre, Araphant, Ho-Gun, and Roderick wait down below and provoke the Easterlings inside to come out and fight. Their plan is almost undone by the shopkeeper couple who run the Inn.

Up and Away

Eschelon scales the second story with Vargas a short ways behind him. Just as they search and find the old woman, the others attack. A fierce melee ensues, and just when the team gets the upperhand, the inn keeper's mother starts berating her son and gets in the way of Eschelon's shots! Luckily the team is able to fight off the remnants of the Easterling Troop thought some hard hitting Araphant strikes and Vandre and Roderick mopping up. They sneak the two inn keepers and their mother back to the bridge and out of town, readying themselves for the next two survivors they must assist, still deeper in the town.
