[QUOTE="Rhenny, post: 5708951, member: 18333"] We played another session this weekend. This 2 hour session was basically travel and combat, but we had fun with it. 5th Session The party secured their mounts and equipment and began their trek across the Great Desert en route to Kirisk, and ultimately the Monastery on the Cliffs. Traveling the early morning hours they made good time, and came upon a small half-buried ruined stone building. Geyorg scouted the area, and found that no danger lurked within. The group dismounted and brought their mounts inside. They found that the back wall of the building was completely gone, but there were portions of the ceiling that could provide the group shelter from the hot sun. As they searched the area, Grimgold noticed signs that a small campfire existed in the middle of the room, but its ashes have been buried under some sand. Geyorg also noticed a shiny object in one corner of the ruin. When he dug in that area, he found an amulet (a +1 safewing amulet), and some tattered, yet affluent clothes. As he dug a little more, he found gnawed bones, and at that moment the party heard the sand shifting to the rear of the building and 8 stormclaw scorpions (4 adults and 4 little dudes/minions) burrowed out from the sand and moved in to strike. Grimgold got the jump on the scorpions and positioned himself between the group and their foes, just as the scorpions rushed in and surrounded him. Attacking a large scorpion, Grimgold scored a hit, and cleaved into a smaller scorpion, killing it. Then the scorpions attacked.
