Fjordhaven Exploration Edict - Z16
General Summary
Ougha decided it was time for some adventure after happening to notice the generous reward that the Kingdom of Fjordhaven was offering for the clearing of an area of land. It didn't take long to find a small group of like-minded individuals and head out to make some money. While the forest seemed relatively peaceful, upon heading down to the shoreline Lagiel noticed a small group of strange humanoid creatures congregating around a pile of shining coins and gems. Returning to the party to report her findings, the party quickly descended to dispatch of the monsters and take the hoard for themselves.
This quickly proved much more of a challenge than they expected, as the creatures, now identified as sea hags, rendered half their number unconcious. The party did eventually come out victorious, though as Ougha made to collect the pile a massive tutle arose from the lake, speaking in a language they didn't understand. Watching as his last remaining concious comrade, Lagiel, was consumed by the creature, Ougha ran for Fjordhaven, no job was worth his life after all. Before she could be digested, with some creative use of magic Lagiel was successful in getting the turtle to throw her up, allowing her to return to her bird form and fly back to shore, where she found no trace of her friends. Though she did find a strange trail leading away from the beach. Following it Lagiel found a pair of archons carrying the still unconcious Milo in shackles. With some creative bargaining and promising that she'd lead Milo on a path to redeption she managed to get the archons to relinquish Milo from their care so that she could return to Fjordhaven with him.
Back in Fjordhaven, Ougha and Lagiel arrived to a strange sight. Their friend Hadrian having been carried back by his axe beak companion, still unconcios and hanging from its beak. With some coaxing from Lagiel and some bribery by Ougha, Hadrian was released from the creature's beak and attempts were made to wake both him and Milo from their slumber, though the mages who had gathered in the crowd seemed unable to wake them. Thankfully for the party their slumber was only temporary, and neither allowed themselves to succumb to its more sinister conclusion. Allowing them both to awaken and bombard both Lagiel and Ougha with questions.
Once things were cleared up, and Milo was unshackled, the four of them made for the beach again in hopes to either negotiate with or kill the turtle. Ougha made contact with it, though found the turtle was less than willing to negotiate after having its followers called hags. With that the party prepared for combat, though they proved no match for the creature, two being rendered unconcious again and Hadrian dying. Leaving only Milo to escape the creature. Milo feeling unusually heroic returned while invisible to pick up his fallen comrades and return to Fjordhaven, their adventure unfortunately left to be a failure.
