Session 18 - 8th of Thellonde Mornday 948 ACW
General Summary
Team 3 after spending the night in the capital headed back out on the road to the Lucanis tribe, knowing that in taking the back roads they had a thirty-two-day trip ahead of them. Their first few days on the road were fairly uneventful, with the most notable thing being Adam told his companions that he had been seeing a dark spirit of sorts following him. The Fryer had read about this phenomenon at one point in his studies, the short passage stated that there was only one account of an elf living into their third century, with most afflicted by this seeming to be driven mad fairly early on in life. The Fryer felt it was best to keep this information to himself for now at least.
As the trio continued on they came in contact with a woodsman who claimed the woods belonged to him and his drakes, telling the group to turn back and leave. Hexan was able to convince the man that they were good people and to help them get through the forest with a bit more ease. During the night while the group rested in the small home, Adam provided the woodsman they now knew as Elbin told them stories of the woods, including one about how there was a leyline node in the area that was said to act as a fountain of youth. The Fryer was able to surmise that most likely the fountain part was most likely a story but that a node could be used to fuel magic, either through arcane instruments or a singular caster. Elbin mentioned to the group that more and more arcane users had been coming to the forest to try and find the node but they had yet to be successful as according to him one must be pure of heart to find it. The group then sent a message to Azel asking him to send someone to check-in on the leyline and see who may be trying to harness it.
The next morning the group with the help of Elbin were able to make it to the logging town of Leathhome and they parted ways. Team 3 kept moving north after a quick restock in the town and after around three hours of travel Adam using his Arcane Map ability felt the draw of a major leyline. The group decided to check it out. Hexan was the one and only to cast magic while tapping into the leyline, and things quickly got out of hand. With the pure arcane energy locked into him, Hexan felt compelled to stay in the line and become one with it. His companions worked hard to get the sorcerer out of this and after a few rounds, Hexan was freed from the line, very battered and bruised but non the less free. The trio got back on their horses and continued their trek north, two of them angry with the third.
