Journal 08 - Trials and Shadows
Posted 24th March 2009 at 03:35 AM by fba827
Some minor events from the session listed out of order to make the summary easier.
1. Talus and Basil passed an initiation test, becoming honorary members of the Kaytar Orc Tribe of Kethlowood forest. Brennan had to pass a series of longer tests but also eventually became an honorary member of the tribe. The three now have tribal tattoos as marks of their victory.
2. Melenna and Theurge used the time to continue searching the tribe's tents but still found nothing that they were looking for.
3. They did, however, see an orc being brought in as a prisoner - he was caught snooping around and is not part of the tribe.
4. The orc prisoner was revealed to be some sort of shapechanger, but he would not reveal his true form. Though he did make it clear that he knew the PCs and that he wanted their help to escape before sunset or else the entire tribe would be in danger. Eventually, he was kept at the tribe in care of the chief while the PCs went off.
5. The party went to the Scarred Sage's tower in order to make their appointment with him. The five of them, plus the Sage, then left to go investigate the mysteries at Talon Lake.
6. They find a few more dead bodies, and also meet Timor, an officer sent by Boreas (high priest of Melora) to investigate. He does not mention the underwater cavern but the PCs do notice that he is wet.
7. Theurge goes to check the underwater cavern to see if anything has changed. He realizes that the water in the lake has been recently poisoned. But nothing in the cavern itself has changed, save a pair of fresh water footprints (most likley Timor's)
8. Melenna learns that the local flora and fauna that feeds off the lake is poisoned, just like the lake itself is. But the timing of the darkness at the lake does not coincide with the apparent start of the lake's poisoning.
9. Brennan takes a horse to go and check on the crazy cat lady, to see how from a local's perspective things may have changed. The Scarred Sage and Timor have seemingly wandered off to continue looking at other things.
10. Basil, Melenna, Talus, and Theurge find themselves in a difficult fight against a shadow creature and three smaller shadow versions of themselves.
11. After being sucked inside the belly of the shadow monstrosity, both Talus and Theurge are eventually spit out, as corpses. While Melenna and Basil eventually kill the things from a safe distance.
12. Melenna casts gentle repose on the corpses of her fallen allies.
In-game session end time: Oct 25 7791, near Talon Lake. Talus and Theurge are dead. Basil (with one of the horses) and Melenna are there preserving the bodies. Brennan (with one of the horses) is still off checking on the cat lady. The Sage (with one of the horses) and Timor are somewhere near by.
