Session 106 - March 3, 2022 Report
General Summary
1305 - 1st Moon of Fall (Lafali) 1st Day
- As the afternoon wears on, Roth sees an odd pattern in the grass (with a 34) and sends Olly in Raven form to see what it is. She sees 8 giant boars, which Roth points out the party. After Roth and guards take arrow shots, Alethra drops a fireball, the group of 8 giant boars start to run away, with 2 having been killed. Merry then casts dimension door in front of them, and them knock her unconscious as they all charge her.
- Olly flies up, and is able to cast Healing Word on Merry from her magical ring. Merry then gets up and casts shatter on the remaining boars, and the last 4 giant boars flee. The 4 dead are butchered with Roth taking 40 lbs of meat for the owlbear.
- Merry gets a short rest during this, when Success checks in on her, and the carts are reloaded to store the fresh provisions.
- As dusk approaches, Roth and Ari see a small herd of elk in the distance going towards the river, where the party will be headed.
- Calm day of travel. Success let's the party know that they should arrive at the river the next day.
- Once the travelers are settled for the night, conversation begins on how to get back to Benroth and who should be notified. Alethra uses a sending stone to let Tristian know she will be in Benroth with the group, and could he transport them to the barony lands. Tristian says yes and will be ready the next day. Roth messages Sybil, so she is ready for the group's arrival the next day. He also messages Judith to confirm that all is well with the house. Everything seems to be in order.
- Alethra practices giant and the decision is made to not use the spell until the whole group is safely at the barony.
- By lunch time the party and the caravan have arrived at the dock and see the boat awaiting them. Everyone helps and the entire cargo, carts and horses are all loaded on the boat, Success paid the party each 80 gold plus a 50 gold bonus. She was delighted to have them on her trip, and invited them next year. She will also come visit Benroth soon to see them.
- Ari sends a message to the university and then starts casting the teleportation circle. During that time Owlbear Pounce is turned into a medium sized dog by Merry, and they have bacon ready to get Pounce to follow them. Alethra messages Tristian that the party is on the way to the university. "Emergency Bacon is Deployed" Pounce gets teleported via circle.
- After signing the teleportation documentation, the group finds Tristian waiting outside the building, with a cloak, staff, and small backpack. He leads them to a small courtyard and uses the small Transport Via Plants, and brings everyone, including the owl bear in dog shape to Tanglewood Estates. Owlbear is not happy about going through the tree, so Alethra picks him up and carries him through. Dog is then given a steak upon arrival.
- They greet Sybil who lets them know dinner will be ready in 1-2 hours. They bring the dog/owlbear down to its den, which Tristian built, release the spell and let the owlbear take a little nap after all the excitement.
- After washing up, and Roth attuning to the ring with the Awaken Spell stored in it (no longer the boots of speed).
- Alethra has checked the books, with 8 of the 25 gold left being used to update and repair the spaces.
- During dinner, Tristian speaks about the work he did on the roads and how he prepared them better for large amounts of rainfall. He also mentions how the den for the owl bear can be enlarged or changed the next day, depending on the new occupant's wishes. Tristian also let's Roth know about some higher level stone creation and shaping spells he can do, which are used in construction when time is short.
- After dinner, Ari, Roth, Alethra, Merry, and Tristian all go down to see the owlbear. After Roth casts the spell, (God check/Charism rolls, Merry 23 and Roth 28). Spectral Raven feathers appear above the owl bear's head, and slowly disappear, after which two hands holding a scroll hover over the owl bear's head, then flash a golden light as the spell takes affect.
- The party introduces itself as the owl bear's new Family, and Tristian as a few friend. After some suggestion the owl bear decides on the name of Beartrum.
- After reviewing his den, Beartrum asks for a few items like a storage space for food, which Roth will get a cold stone for, and a pillow or soft item in a small space for sleeping. Beartrum will also get a few cloaks in green, dark red, and black so he is closer resembling his family.
- The group then talks with Bearturm about the Family, Friends, and Acquaintances, that he will be around. They take him on a tour of the barony, and the areas he is going to be protecting. Including where the fairy gate is, and how he should be careful there. He is taught what he can eat and what he should protect, as well as needing to check with Sybil about goats and when he can eat them. Roth may be able to craft some googles for daytime outtings.
- After a tour of the other dens belonging to the party, Beartrum gets to try a mattress, and it is decided that the alligator skin Roth has been carrying around will be used to make a large mattress for Beartrum's den, and 3 pillows, 2 to sleep with and 1 for eating with the family in the dining room.
- Beartrum would like a crest of Tanglewood on his cloaks to make him look more official in his guarding of the area. Alethra shows him a map of the smaller area, as well as the larger dukedom.
- Beatrum then meets Olly and Branwan, and is interested in this magic that makes all the interesting things happen.
- After remembering that most of the party sleeps at night, and he is used to sleeping with his den mates, the party introduce him to Soot (the displacer kitten) and let him know that it will stay with him at night in his "den". Beartrum is going to let the party sleep with he goes outside with Soot to think and process. Roth sends Olly went to keep an eye on them, promising Beartrum he will meet Sybil around dawn.
- Before crashing, Roth asks Alethra and Merry how to get some Common Sense training for Olly and Beatrum.
- Party is now level 13.
