Temple Assault Report

General Summary

Assault at night

10th of Irami’el 1245 AE

Once night had fallen and everyone was well rested , the adventures assembled. About fifteen hunters had returned in the short amount of time that the group had waited. A plan was thought out to lure the barbarians out of the temple by making lots of noise while they and the hunters wait to ambush. When they arrived at the temple they saw that there were no guards outside so they went along with the plan. The barbarians quickly ran out and were killed by both the hunters and the adventurers. After the initial battle was fought the adventurers went deeper into the underground temple.
It seemed many of the barbarians were already killed during the first fight with only few remaining in the temple itself. They found a priest who was captured to tend to the wounds of barbarians. The priest told the adventurers that the head priest had locked himself up deeper in the temple and that the barbarians were looking for a specific magic item although he did not know which one. When they advanced further they arrived at the central place of worship where a large statue to Silvanus stood in the middle of the room. But there were no other signs of the other priests any where nearby. However, after fighting several barbarians a bit further down the road, they found the remaining captured priests. The adventurers decided that they could use the help of the hunters waiting outside and called them in after which the remaining barbarians were quickly captured.
After the temple was clear the head priest came out of his sanctuary and thanked the adventurers for their service to Silvanus and granted them gold and a sylvan blade as a token of their gratitude. Among the captured barbarians they saw two children who appeared very sick and other wounded women and children as well. The leader of the tribe said that the reason for the invasion of the temple was to get sacred oil from the temple said to cure all illness.

Sukeria festival

11th of Irami’el 1245 AE

After saving the Temple of Silvanus from the barbarians, the group were facing a hard choice. The Elves of Wildhorn wanted to sacrifice the leader of the barbarians in the name of Silvanus during the coming festival to avenge the sacrilege. But as they talked to the captured barbarians it had become clear that they had merely taken over the temple as a last resort after being rejected medical care. Luckily the group managed to talk the Elves out of such a rash action and even managed to convince them to aid the sick children for a price. Since the barbarians didn’t actually kill anyone the surviving members were allowed to work for the Wildhorn community to repay their debts.
Once they returned to Wildhorn the adventurers saw that the village was preparing for the Sukeria festival that evening. Dwarves were unloading a large amount of ale and beer while the Elves were preparing the tables for the evening. Within all this hassle two Elves came forward who clearly had a different look to them than the others. Once she reached the group the Wood Elf woman revealed herself to be Hesione Valrin a member of The Vanguard together with her subordinate Lelenia Galanodol. After hearing about the troubles in the Vamena region, The Vanguard decided to send a couple of soldiers to investigate. When they had exchanged information the adventurers learned that in Mirefield, the village closest to the kobolds, the leader wanted to go talk with the kobold leader. The leader of Mirefield, Timeas, claimed he had been doing business with the kobolds for a decade and that the kobolds were no threat. The adventurers decided to check this out and potentially parley with the kobolds. But first they would remain at the Sukeria festival since they would only be able to get the help of Wildhorn after the event.
The festival was something the group had not seen before. During the first part of the festival everyone formed a single file walking into the darkness of Vamena forest with only torches to see the path. Although it was only a short sighting some of the adventurers saw a humanoid shadow in the forest with antlers on his head. The shadow however was nowhere to be seen on a second look with only ravens flying way from where he stood. The second part of the festival was a lot bloodier. Three goats were brought forward to be used as a sacrifice for Silvanus. When the religious part of the festival was over, the group returned to Wildhorn to partake in the feast . Luckily nobody had a hangover the next day as the adventurers continued towards Mirefield accompanied by the two Vanguard.
