[QUOTE="Rhenny, post: 6716951, member: 18333"] Session 9 – “The Feast at the Spire, and Bad Blood Brewing” PCs (3rd Level) About 1 1/2 hours of play. Pate the Half-Elven Bard (in possession of a map that shows the Sumber Hills perhaps an area where an elemental node exists) Zeed the Arakocra Rogue (fearful of hippogriff riders who have attacked in the area – also hopeful to find more Arakocra in the Dessarin Valley) Hundar the Half-Orc Fighter (Tracking Gar Shatterkeep, who sunk the ship Hundar sailed on) Turytopple the Gnome Paladin (A gnome trying to fight evil) Kippipop the Gnome Sorcerer (Looking for mystery and lore) Namfoodle “Foo” the Gnome Rogue (Trying to find riches) This session Pate and Zeed came back, along with Hundar and Tury. Namfoodle’s player was not available so Foo spent most of the time in bed recuperating from his death and revivification the day before. Hundar, Tury and Foo were on top of the Feathergale Spire Pinnacle. Hundar had just beat one of the Feathergale Knights senseless after the Knight offered to surrender when they were fighting with clubs in a non-lethal fashion. The three other Knights took their unconscious friend away muttering, “Let’s see what the Lord Commander thinks about these guys now, especially the Half-Orc.” While the three heroes were resting before washing and getting ready for the feast that Lord Merosska was having for their 10th Anniversary, Pate, who had traveled from Red Larch on his own, knocked at the front door of the spire.
