Session 2: Escape from certain death Report
General Summary
Each member of the party was taken to an office when a grim, elderly sorcerer 'branded' each player with the symbol of the Order of Bheithir that included the number 16. They were told that they had been promoted an made a part of the 16th Regiment. They were then immediately given green robes of the order marking them as 'Initiates', the lowest rank. They were provided with passable armor and weapons, all branded with the symbol of the order.
The party was driven at least half a day in a wagon to a cave entrance. They were told that their inital 'test' as members of the order is to kill a number of Goblins in the cave. The Goblins have been harassing local farmsteads and stealing or killing thier livestock. The party entered the cave and traveled to it's end where they found a large cavern littered with hundreds of bones. There were a few 'fresher' bodies and they each had the same brand on their left arm signifying the 16th Regiment.
A large cave-in occurred then when an elder elven woman appears out of the dust, signalling the party to be quiet and showing them a disfigured brand on her arm of the 16th. She led the party down a small side tunnel to outside the cave and led them to a pack of horses hatening their escape.
The woman gave her name as Moira and she explained to the party that anyone marked by the 16th Regiment was sentenced to death and discarded. The brand will allow the Order to track anyone through magic within a short distance. Moira told the party to find Mrs. Chadsworth in Redmarble to assist removing the brand. She led the party to an elven man with a deep scar on his face who sat in the drivers seat of a wagon. He introduced himslef as @Tam. Moira departed giving her final advice for the party to get to Redmarble as quickly as possible as she beleived the Order will be sending out trackers to find them. Tam drove the party in the wagon for the better part of 2 days eventually to the outskirts of the White Wood Inn.
He instructed the party that a mile or so north of the Inn would be 6 horses in a small forest meadow. Tam gave the party a feather. He called it a Feather of theCrow. He said that if someone held th efeather and concentrated on a location, that person would know the fastest route to reach that destination. The party would now be on their own to go wherever they wanted.
The party went into the Inn and were given nods of recognition as they are wearing clothing of the Order of Bheithir. They were approached by Chester Winterwood a lieutenant in the Redmere Army. He gave the party 2 rooms and offered to escort the party to Nornvik in the morning. The party left the Inn stealthily and made their way north into the woods. They heard loud braying an neighing of terrified horses as they reached the meadow...
