Lowsun 01, 2020KC

  Port Menagerie, Kampos     The Party came together at Port Menagerie (Kampos) aboard the Ship "The Frontenac" (standard sailing ship) en route to Neyer on the west side of Eushia.           Port Menagerie, Kampos was to go to Neyer, Eushia but 1/2 way there it was diverted through Carrune Islands and finally ends up at Outding Refuge, which took all of Lowsun.   It was supposed to be around 15 days (give or take, depending on conditions), not the full month they spent on the ship.         One of the crew, Vernon Lazarius (a large Human pirate), ends up starting a mutiny and taking over the ship. He locked up the captain and his most loyal crew, including the members of the Party. This happened a few days into the travels, but since Vernon seemed a bit incompetent as a sailor, he ended up getting the ship lost at sea.   While they sailed, the Party had opened up a bit about their lives.        

Redfall 01, 2020KC

    In the Dead of night, the ship was attacked by a dragon*. They noticed the air had grown cold, then out of the sky, this White Dragon with a crazed look in its eyes set down on the ship.   The attack gave access for the team to escape, with the captain staying behind to help defend their escape. The ship fell apart, and the Party remembers swimming in near-freezing waters for their life.     Shipwreck Shore, Outding Refuge.   They awake on Shipwreck Shore to the sounds of a Halfling asking if they are Dead. His name is Jeets. He talks about how he lost his friends the night before as they slept. He had heard a noise and went to investigate, yet when he returned to the group, they were all gone. He is really worried about them. He had been looking for them and found a cave hidden on the hill path. (This will be Grotto of Outding Refuge)    

Jeets: He talks about how they are on Outding Refuge, a popular spot for adventurers in the area with good booze and some gambling. He hadn't been here in over a year and never on this side of the island. It is very odd that it is snowing and that the Dragon seems to come from the large mountain on the SE side of the island.   It is Widow's Peak, so named due to the many who had jumped when their spouses were lost at sea. Jeets and his party were en route to Carrune for a mission.

    The Party got warm and dry then went to the cave. They saw the entrance was very hidden and a bit tight to enter.    The Party enters the Grotto...     They got in and started to explore. They first came across a gate that the Party was able to raise with three of them pulling, then Jeets crawled in and locked the gate. They were able to raise the gate.   Then Jeets got lucky and stopped Reginald from falling into a pit trap, one with a tarp painted to look like the ground. He snuck around the edge, and the Party all leaped across the hole.     Shortly after this, they came across 3 small Rats, which were ravenous with hunger -- but also easily defeated. (Shadow killed two, Sas killed one) Sas took the rats for later.       They continued around some corners, and then Jeets heard some snores and knives at work. He opened the kitchen door, and combat ensued.     The sleeping chamber was searched, and Reginald uncovered a few "treasures."       They continued on, and once again, Lucky Little Jeets heard a noise. They find a room where his friend, Talbron Tewn, is tied and being harangued by more Sahuagin, as well as Sahuagin Priestess that are all chanting. The room has a triple waterfall of sorts into a little lake and two pedestals made of skulls with long dried blood.   They come in, and a major battle ensues. Sas killed one with her Shillelagh but also almost died herself (1 hp). Shadow kills another one with an arrow through the ear. Barlo Killed one. Reginald got the last one.      After the fight they untied Talbron Tewn, and Jeets unlocking the cage to the south to free Cellymas & Pradam Estorich. They were able to learn a few new things  

• There was a humanoid in a dark grey cloak who was here and left through a secret door shortly before the Party entered.
 
• Learned how Pradam is new to the Party and his previous Party died.

  Cellymas gave some healing.   Shadow searched for the secret door and found it. The Party went through a hallway to another secret door. This one is a bit newer; it seems, in fact, this part of the caverns with the two doors both seems much newer than the original tunnels. In the next room was a bit of a storage room. All manners of food, water, some alcohol, including a nice looking bottle of wine with a "Wavecrest Tavern" label on it.   In here, the Party took a short rest.             Finished the Grotto: That's where we left off…
