Session Seven Report

General Summary

We pick up the following morning after the party has got a night to peacefully rest. The party divides and conquers, splitting up to take care of different matters. Lady Alexys heads to the market to potentially pick up some supplies. Arthur picks up two health potions at regular price and then goes to get heavy clothing for everyone to help with the cold temperatures we may face. Avo gets his new short sword looked at and heads to get a set of studded leather to improve his defenses. Azreal works with Trudy to see how far her range for communication is and goes to a metal worker in town. Zappa checks out the magical stone retrieved from the Temple of Yargle, goes to try and find some magical items around town, and talks with the owner of the caravan company about potentially helping as guards. Zed hangs out with Trudy at the Bearded Lady to help make sure she stays safe. Some commotion arises at the Bearded Lady as Lady Alexys pulls a dagger on a custom that is trying to bully the party into giving them gold for spilled drinks. Truna, the owner, does not allow that to happen, breaks up the altercation before there is blood spilled, and tells Lady Alexys if that ever happens again she will not be allowed back at the Bearded Lady. Soon after Lady Alexys, Avo, Azreal, and Kass apprehend a goblin that has dined and dashed from the Bearded Lady for years. This act gets the group back in the good graces of Truna and sees the goblin working at the Bearded Lady to repay his debt of over 1,000 gold. Zappa also pays the tab for the Knights of White Castle to help ease the burden of losing their friend Hup. In response to this the heavily armored leader Arnald says thank you and mentions that they do not plan on going back to Highfell anytime soon.
Soon after this, the party reconvinces in one of the rooms and Zappa requests that they take a job as guards for the caravan to get 10 gold for going and 5 gold per gnoll killed. He also mentions that they would be able to hopefully tell Irrek's father he has passed away, get news to Beatrix, and maybe even get back his personal items that were stolen by a Goliath last seen in Inverbarren. The party agrees and finishes up the night with a few last minute things before going to bed.
The party meets Tane, the person organizing the caravan that morning and he is less than thrilled to see the people that are going as guards. After hearing of the group’s recent encounters helping Endtown with the bullywugs and the owlbear they had fought, he changed his tune slightly. The journey to Woodvale did not get too far as a stealthy group of Gnolls ambushed the caravan, killing one of the workers and trying to steal two others while putting some damage on the party. With some stealthy attacks from Lady Alexys and Avo, a couple of spells from Arthur and Zappa, and smites from Azreal 5 Gnolls were killed along with 2 hyenas as the 4 Gnoll archers escaped. It is decided that since we are just around the bin from Thatchum two of the workers will take the killed worker back to town and the other will stay with the group as we push forward with the mission.
