Session 53 - Feb 20, 2020 Report

General Summary

World Date, Fall, Third Moon, Fislar (18th Day)

• The party gets back to the small settlement of Kotssa, with the “proof” or long string of dead Kobolds. At the party’s request, the head farmer, Rune, writes the party a letter confirming that the “egg problem” has been dealt with.
• There is some discussion on if the party should go back to town now, or spend the night in the village, and the final decision is to head back to town, arriving around 8-9pm, well after dark.
• On the way back to town, the party encounters 4 human adventures, 2 male and 2 female, all of whom look very beat up, and Ari kindly heals one of them. They all chat on the way back to town and learn that this group went after the mushrooms, fought a lot of spiders and was unable to get the correct mushroom for the reward.
• Ari chats with them on the way a back, learning they are staying in rooms at the adventures guild and that they are uninterested in going to try to gather mushrooms again. Ari makes plans to see them the next morning, and the groups part ways at the gate.
• Judith is pleased to see the group, and prepares them a late dinner. The party then goes to rest, expect Roth, who sneaks out.
• Roth goes to the Thieves Guild headquarters, finds the “evening” entrance and is vouched for by the dwarf fence he worked with to sell rubies, Vadalia. He asks about 2000 gold worth of blue amber and selling a potion of gaseous form (he was looking for about 3000-5000 gold). She will check with her dock contact about the amber, and he should check back in tomorrow.
• Roth then returns to the house for the night.

World Date, Fall, Third Moon, Fisam (19th Day)

• The party eats breakfast, with Ari teaching Judith how to make deviled eggs with the eggs she found on the Kobolds. The party tried them with mixed results of appreciation.
• The party then heads to the Merchants Guild and meets with Otto who gives them the funds for the water disturbance issue and the egg quest, 650 gold in total, Judith is then paid for 4 months (60 gold worth of wages).
• The 4 humans that they meet yesterday are in the corner, eating breakfast at a small table, and Ari tries the mood orb, the the wizard casts Identify, getting some additional information on it, and trying to figure out what the colors mean.
• Otto also mentions the note they sent, asking that the delivery person makes their presence known next time.
• The mushroom quest is for Golden Night Mushrooms, popular amount the nobility and considered a delicacy. Each mushroom cap of 4 inches in diameter is worth 50 gold, and there is no limit, but the most Otto has ever seen someone turn in are 4 all together (may not grow very large?)
• The party wants to get a few and then have Baeshra grow them in the basement of the house so that they have access to them all year.
• The 4 human party then is able to get 5 gold for directions to the area where they think the mushrooms are, about 3 hours outside of town. On the way the flying pets scout for elk for a hunt for Baesahra. The party then is able to find the cave structure where the human party thought the mushrooms were to be found.
• On the way out of town, Merry mentions not feeling well, and heads back to the house sneezing, promising to rest until the party returns.
• After 3 hours, the party finds the small swift flowing river out of a small cave with 3 larger cave openings. About 11:30 am. The party then crosses the river, with Roth getting close to a Shambling Mound, causing it to attack him.
• Roth crosses the river, and the Mound does not move, so Roth is unsure what happened, as the tree seems dead and the rest of the party is confused why Roth is fighting a tree.
• After taking enough damage the Shambling Mound starting moving and attacking, engulfing several of the party members before it is finally defeated.
• During the battle, Ari used thunder damage to make a lot of noise, causing some of the spiders to come out and see what is happening. Some of them are killed, and the rest see the party fighting, and go back into the cave. Black Poison gets webbed, but is safely freed by Ari. Ari gets a hug.
• The party then takes a rest away from the caves to hunt the elk the pets saw while flying over earlier. Baeshra is able to a pronged rack of elk that he is happy with, and Scarlett gets a slightly smaller version. The party then takes the meat and field dresses the items so that the meat and skin are preserved.
• The party decides to return to town, as they got what they came for and are not ready to deal with what is possibly a cave full of spiders slightly hurt and without Merry. At this time about 2pm, they arrive back to town around 5 pm.
• Getting back to town, the party takes the meat to Judith, who is thrilled, and tries to store the meat, about 75 lbs, and about 75 lb needs to be smoked to avoid it going bad. They smoking about 3 days, and the preparation of the elk antler will take about a week as well. The basement has become a drying, preparing and extra cold storage.
• Baeshra then casts lesser restoration on Merry, who then feels much better, and the party prepares for dinner.
