Session 10: Bogun Redhorn's Camp
General Summary
The session started with the group talking with the three Humans they had rescued from a group of brigands; Council of Unity members Arisa Rofwaldan, Percival Chapman, and one of their remaining bodyguards. Arisa told the group that during the attack, her father (Hector Rofwaldan) was captured by their attackers.
The group suggested Arisa, Percival, and the bodyguard head back to Hyrule Castletown, staying off the main road, which they agreed to do. The group then went back to the burned carriage the Council members were riding in. They noticed tracks in the grass leading into a nearby woods, and followed them into the woods. After trekking through the woods for about an hour, the trail eventually went cold. The group decided to take a rest until nightfall. Once the night came, the group continued on through the woods in the dark, not using any lights to guide their way and trying to be as quiet as possible.
After traveling for another half hour, the group noticed up in the distance, a flickering orange light. Ora casted pass without trace, masking the group in shadows and silence. Continuing on, Feng--was had taken point--stepped into a spiked pit trap, but was able to pull his foot back before it was caught on the spikes. After continuing through the woods for a few more minutes, Feng noticed a tripwire trap attached to a bent branch with wooden stakes. The group moved around the branch whip trap.
The group then noticed another light off in the distance. It was lower to the ground than the other and was bobbing slightly. As the light got closer, the group could hear the jingling of a chain and panting. Sunny shot at the whatever was holding the light, hitting and killing it. The group then heard a horn blow off in the distance. The light was then picked up and whatever was carrying it then ran towards the other light in the distance. The group then heard barking of orders off in the direction of the lights, followed by repetitive ratcheting clinking. More lights started appearing by the other lights in a straight line. The group deduced they had found a stronghold, having made out that the lights were torches being held by several humanoids on top of wall. The group then heard a portcullis open, and dogs barking, so they all quickly climbed up into some trees.
As the dogs were getting closer, Tanager and Ora together used minor illusion to create the illusion of some ghostly children combined with the sound of children giggling. When the dogs, and their handlers, were underneath the trees the group were in, Sunny dropped a rat from his hat of vermin, which one of the dogs went after. The handlers then began retreating away from the ghost children and ran back to the stronghold.
The group descended the trees and snuck up next to the stronghold's wall, which was a palisade stakewall of sharpened logs. Looking through the seams between the logs, the group noticed inside the walls were various mundane supplies, a campfire, some Bullbos, small hut in the center, and a finely clothed humanoid chained to a stake.
The group came up with a plan to bomb the outer wall. They set off two bombs, blowing a large hole in the wall, sending the humanoids on top of that section flying to their deaths. They group then attacked the inhabitants inside the walls, with Thistle wile-shaping into a giant spider. The battle was fierce. Feng tossed in a bomb and blew up some bulblins. A human caster was able to cast bane on spider-Thistle and Sunny. Another caster casted blindness on spider-Thistle, but his spider-senses allowed him to stay in the battle somewhat. One of the bulblins mounted a bulbo and charged at the group. Feng, Kassu attacked the bulbo, wounding it. Spider-Thistle then bit it, causing it fall unconscious and throw its bulblin rider.
In the midst of battle, a large bulblin with blood-red horns emerged from the hut. Bogun Redhorn then raised his giant axe and bellowed a war cry at the group.
