SESSION 6

General Summary

Askr

The party wakes up in the morning and after Reed attempts to make some potions, they decide to head over to Forged from the Heart to upgrade their armor. Ramona gives them a slight trade in discount for their old armor. Afterwards Rowen brings up the request that Ramona posted at the AA. Ramona explains a bit about the Basilisk and how they need a few scales to try out a new prototype of armor. She gives the party a shield that is very polished to the point you can see your reflection in it. She exclaims that should a basilisk look at itself in a mirror, it will attempt to petrify itself. The party thanks her for the information and then heads on over to Upsy Daisy's to get more herbs.
When the party arrives they're greeted by Jessica tending to some flowers up at the front. They ask for Daisy and she goes and gets her for them. Daisy comes from the back to greet the party and ask what they need. Reed asks her about more petrification cure herbs and she agrees to make some for him with his leftover cockatrice saliva. Reed stays behind after to ask Daisy to put up a formal request on at the AA and specifically request for his party to take it. She agrees and wishes him luck.

West Askr Plains

The party comes across the Basilisk just as Ramona said however its also accompanied by two aurochs. Reed starts off by throwing a snap bang at a rock which triggers the aurochs to rush at the rock. The aurochs eventually begin to charge at the basilisk after having their attention turned its way. The basilisk tries to petrify the aurochs however they shrug it off, seeing this the basilisk begins to run away. Meanwhile the party attacks the basilisk in an attempt to bring it down. Once it goes down the party turns their attention onto the aurochs. Due to Rowen casting cloud of daggers earlier the aurochs took some damage. Ren gets the idea to become bait and get their attention to try and make them run back into the cloud of daggers. The plan works and the two aurochs charge right back into the spell. While this is happening the party keeps attacking the aurochs until they go down. Ren notices as the last auroch falls that its eyes were soulless and glowing purple and its breath was a purplish cloud that seemed to dissipate shortly after. Ren alerts the party and then they go gather scales and a bunch of other parts from the basilisk. The party then takes a short rest before continuing to travel to Aed.
Continuing on the trail to Aed, the group comes across a pair of travelers, Naru and Broca who had just come from taking on a gorgon. Broca notices the basilisk tail poking out from Carvey's backpack and uses it as a conversation start. Reed wastes no time in trying to make a sale and begins his sales pitch to Broca. Broca is immediately intrigued and starts to converse with Reed more. Naru keeps insisting that they should hurry up and hand the quest into the AA but Broca says not to worry and a small break won't hurt. Meanwhile Rowen does the smoothest note pass onto Naru when he misread the situation and mistook Naru's smile from the sweet smelling perfume as inviting Rowen in from his previous wink towards her. Shortly after this ensues, Broca and Naru wish the party luck and say they will meet back up at the AA tavern when they finish with their quest. The group then contines onward to Aed.

Aed

When the group reaches Aed, they notice it is a small farming hamlet. Reed notices some children waving to him and he hands them some small snap bangs which the children begin to play with and have fun. The children thank him as the group heads over to the elders house. Once at his house they ask him for more information about the request. He tells them that the gathering area near the Moonlit cavern is becoming dangerous and that some of the monsters must be culled for it to be safe again. He tells the group where the cave is and then they head off.

Moonlit Cavern

Once the party is inside they see crystal stalactites that appear to glow with the color of the moonlight which illuminates the entire cavern. The party starts off by attempting to lure one of the creatures into a trap. They successfully get one however the rest of them scatter about the cavern. After the party goes further in, Reed accidentally gets to close to one of the stalagmites and it turns out to be a grick. The grick then screeches and alerts another grick within the area to start attacking. Once this happens all of the monsters in the cavern are alerted to the fighting and begin rushing in at the party. The party gets in a bit of a rough spot at one point when Zenaster becomes paralyzed from the poison of a carrion crawler, however they eventually managed to escape the cave in one piece.

Aed

After scurrying back to Aed, the elder notices the party is banged up badly and offers them free roost in one of their small lodgings. He says that their safety comes first and they can discuss their next course of action after they get a full nights rest.
