[QUOTE="Chimera, post: 2285326, member: 2002"] 20th Greening Artemis decided to stay behind in Sunden to help a friend of his build an addition to her house. (Player Note: The Player missed the session and this was a great way to write him out for this session only) We expect him to catch up to us in Fairhill in a few days. Personally, given all the danger on that road, this seems like a poor idea. About three miles north of Fairhill, we are ambushed by slaver Orcs in the woods. A rough battle which we barely survive. I jumped down from my horse and started looking for my scroll of Mage Armor only to find that I didn’t have one. I was sure I had one at the time. Sneaking a peak around the horse, an Orcish arrow caught me in the upper chest, just a few inches from my heart. (Note: Knocked him down to 1 hit point!) I have never felt such pain in all my life! Luckily, the adrenaline kicked in from all the fear and terror and I was able to remain conscious and seek help from Leothan. Just after I left the cover of my horse and made a run for Leothan, Cylexia had some difficulties with her horse and went running into the woods after it. I swear that we actually heard her tell the stupid thing to “sit”! After the battle, we found her unconscious and bleeding on the ground with a huge hoof print on her forehead. Leothan healed her somewhat and we took her into Fairhill with us. At Fairhill, we got a rooms at the Cask & Flagon Inn. While Leothan sought help from Shandril Devandressea, the rest of us met up with the Watch Captain and his Lieutenant. We learned that a halfling couple had been killed by Orcs that very morning and they were organizing the militia to track them down. I headed into town with the horse load of weapons and armor we had accumulated from the slavers, but could find little interest. The town magistrate was indifferent at best to arming his people and the town blacksmith is a lazy drunkard. I managed to get him to purchase a fine buckler we had recovered, which will be enough to cover our expenses for a while. Spending some time with Gorintan, I discovered that the reason for his drinking is that his daughter Arialle has run off with some adventurers. I didn’t know what to say, since I could be considered an “adventurer” myself. I left the man in peace. That night, Leothan and Xilo attended the evening services at the Temple of Wenta. Leothan came back practically swimming in happiness, convinced that Shandril is blessed by the Gods. Somewhat alarming to me, as it seems that he may have been charmed. I vow to keep a closer eye on Leothan and stay clear of Shandril. 21st Greening Rain off and on. I spent the day making a scroll. Nox and Lex signed on with the Militia, to see if they could help track the Orcs and gather information for our mission here. Later that evening, I hear that they discovered Ogre tracks, causing the town to call off the search and fall back to their own defenses. Xilo spent the day with Gorintan, helping him get caught up on his work. Leothan was off and about getting to know the people of the town. Along the way he says that he heard many fanciful tales of monsters and evil that supposedly plague the area. Personally, I don’t believe any of them, as this is a prosperous town and could not possibly remain so throughout the many evils that supposedly plague it. As I spent the evening sharing some cold beer with the locals (having cooled it nicely with my Ray of Frost spell), Leothan returned to the Inn. He seemed bothered by some things, but I was deep in my beer at that time and had spent enough time thinking deep thoughts while writing my scroll. I needed a break from all that nonsense. 22nd Greening I spent the morning looking for another Wizard in the town. By the gods, what a superstitious lot these people are. One man sent me to another because he looked funny. He sent me to yet another because something odd had happened once. He sent me to a woman with a reputation for being odd. She chased me off her porch with a broom! Finally, I met up with Leothan, who was making the rounds. Together we went to speak to Tianna, the town busybody, with whom he had spent the morning. She is a wisewoman of sorts and capable of making a few odd potions. She gave me the name of two individuals that might be able to help me with scrolls. The second one had something I desired, which was a scroll of Obscuring Mist. Too bad I don’t have the money to write that one in my Spellbook. That afternoon, Lex discovered that the Coded buckler that we had taken off of the slavers was missing. This prompted an all-out search through our possessions.
