Jana's Wrath

General Summary

The gang started by defeating the giant spider, taking a good amount of damage and burning through all their healing spells. Following this, they travelled to the Jirsen, where they managed to defeat the goblins and save the young ones. Jazixit was very grateful, giving them many gifts, but after hearing about the attack they decided to go help Oar's Rest instead of heading for Illskaud Bastion to kill Skullcrack. On their way back, they encounter an angry Jana, missing an eye. They try to talk their way out of it but only make things worse, and Jana arrests them. What looks like a fight soon changes as they surrender, letting Jana take them back to Oar's Rest, where they are put in prison. Barradock does his best to talk his way out of the situation, gaining at least some favor from Jana. In prison, they swiftly begin to try and escape with Arviel's tools that she smuggled in. Barradock resists, saying he would rather have a fair trial than try to escape, but he eventually goes along, held by Craig. Now they need their stuff back. Arviel goes upstairs to scout Jana's office, and sees her working there catalogueing their stuff. She tries to create a noise in another room so she'll leave, but then unfortunately missteps, falling down the stairs and alerting Jana to their presence. They fight Jana, who manages to call some more Vedette, and eventually manage to bring her down - their healing potions are just enough to heal everyone as Barradock runs out to alert the town of the goblin raid. He is too late. The goblin raid has begun, and everyone rushes out to help the villagers. Kaeli dies in front of Barradock's eyes, and while Craig and Pimwrick fight some other goblins, a moment of divine power fills Pimwrick once more. He barely manages to kill the last goblin, and carries an unconscious Craig. Dench and Arviel fight goblins by the lakeside with Cusra, who begs Dench to save the girl the goblins are carrying away. Dench throws his last handaxe in a last ditch effort to stop the goblin carrying her, but misses - the cackling goblin runs off into the woods. Cusra angrily tells Dench to bring back her daughter no matter the cost. At this point, everyone meets up. Instead of going to the town hall to talk to the villagers, they decide it would be best to run and try and retrieve the children before doing anything else. They run away, carrying two unconscious party members, thinking on how things could have gone better. Arriving in the small cave by the Jirsen, they fall into a deep sleep after an exhausting day.
