"Hobgoblin Nation Exploration Edict - FF42"

General Summary

Together, the party consisting of Meako, Dana, Nightfall and Prim disguised themselves to fake taking the edict, they traveled to the city of Lakeside, and reported in to take up the exploration edict. After long lines and lot of paperwork, they made their way to the unexplored region southwest of Emancipation. Waiting to teleport until after they had exited Hobgoblin territory.

On the road towards Arbour, the party came across two beaten Behir, two huge six legged lizard creatures, that were walking their way south. The party laid in wait until they arrived, the Behir oblivious to the hiding party. Once it came into range, the party unleashed their attacks against the creatures. Taken off guard, the two Behir did not stand a chance against the party's coordinated attacks. Once unconscious, they healed up and spoke with the creatures, who claimed to have left their master's slavery. After a small debate, they decided to take the two to Azim's palace in Trader's Cusp, and left them with a small kobold out front.

  Continuing on, they decided to travel with Nightfall's phantom chariot north. Upon arriving, they encountered a ranger taking a rest. He introduced himself as Ellison, who warned them to stay away at night, due to some locals saying the area is haunted, often seeing blue orbs at night and wails of the dead. After failing to pursuade them to turn back, he offered for them to rest at his campsite before he moved on. Resting at the site, watched by the ranger, the party packed up and moved on once night began to set in.

Traveling down the road, the party began to see blue orbs off in the distance. Nightfall was able correctly identify them as Will-o-wisps, a creature that preys of fear. Prim decided to go and examine them, as they attempted to "guide" her off of a cliff. As Prim attempted to touch one, they sprung into action, and started attacking the party. After a few shocking experiences, the party took them down, and were able to move on.

The party continued on, when Dana's sword began to notify her of an undead presence. The party came up on a group of zombies, and as they began to slice their way through it when they were ambushed by a much bigger threat, a devourer. After a devastating blow to Prim, Nightfall trapped it in a prison of ice. Though trapped, it tried to break free while taunting Dana via telepathy, trying to get her to break it free out of rage. Eventually, however, it fell over defeated, and the party moved on.

They came across a clearing, and as Prim went to inspect some foilage, they came across an angered black djinni, who attacked them for tresspassing, and whipped up a large storm. A hardfought battle ensued, and just about the moment everyone thought all hope was lost, Dana dealt a deciding blow, ending the windstorm and saving two of her unconscious companions.

Shortly there after the team reported the clearing of the hex, but not before leaving bodies disguised as their personas, in the hex for the Hobgoblin Nation to discover, hoping they would see their bodies as a failure to clear the land they set out to hear.
