Cabin in the Woods
General Summary
Rhysion, Megera, and Jayke sort out the body inventories before moving to a tiny decrepit shack just off the side of the road. As they settle in for the night, they notice a lone figure heading north along the roadside. After hiding their bags of holding, they wait, but it is only Castellor. They gather their things again and go through the magic door that Castellor opens for them - the door to his castle. They spend the night in luxurious safety.
Castellor leads them for the next 3 days to the hamlet of "mycarwreck" Markark. They check out the two taverns - the Slaughtered Lamb or the Tasty Pig ( If you can't get a date there, you can't get a date anywhere). They choose the Slaughtered Lamb rather than the Farmers' preference. The 2 bards " Bard Off" between Castellor and Rhysion. Both perform beautifully, but Castellor tops Rhysion in good-natured competition. Each earns 16 gold for their performances.
New Friends
Castellor wanders over to a chap at a table, greeting him with familiarity. Priest Blackwood (Cory) and Cuierre (Mathew) meet the party, and shenanigans ensue in their awkward " get to know yous".
Priest Blackwood - Human appearing with elven ears in a brown suit.
Cuierre - Black Eagle Aricokra with an Investigator patch from the monastery ( a black rose) on a brownish gi.
( Art to come)
They shared stories of their historical greatness as they got to know each other over drinks. Castellors Door gets set up in Cuierre and Priest's room.
