[QUOTE="Xaltar, post: 7868, member: 480"] ------------------------------------------- Session 5, Part 4: Bushwhacked... ------------------------------------------- The party solemnly packed up their equipment and watched Roughner move deeper into the forest. Spiderfang wrapped his severed hand in clean rags and placed it in his backpack. On the way back to town, the young monk contemplated ending or at least postponing his career as a vigilante, traveling to a major city, and offering his servitude to a powerful cleric to reattach his hand. Riding on the horses they confiscate from Zhent Keep, the party was making good time along the path back from the troll cave to the town of Ashabenford. Suddenly from the side of the road, several men dressed in dark purple cloaks jumped up from the bushes and began attacking the party. “Take as many as you can alive!” Yelled the man in the back, who by appearance was obviously a mage. Even though these bandits had a spell caster in their ranks, they posed little threat to the heroes that had just defeated a whole family of trolls. Spiderfang took this opportunity to release some of his built up aggression, and found that he was still a force to be reckoned with even if he did only have one hand. Drexel went toe to toe with the mage who wore a unique looking claw on one arm, allowing him to cast without dropping his weapon. Feeling particularly threatened by the speed in which his bandit allies were being dispatched, he drew a magical wand and fired several magic missiles into the Drexel. The mage then began casting invisibility, in order to flee while unseen as the party dealt with the last of the other raiders. Unfortunately for him, Holden had quickly slipped up beside him through the woods, and came rushing out, tripping the casting mage with the flat side of his great sword. The stunned wizard looked up in astonishment as Holden proceeded to plunge the large blade through his midsection, killing him instantly. As they searched the bodies, they found a symbol that none of them had ever seen before. After some consideration, the party decided that they didn’t like that such a symbol meant the involvement of more individuals like the ones they had just defeated. However, they were in no condition to head deeper into the forest in search of the raider’s hideout. Holden took a few moments to mark a nearby tree so that they would be able to find the location when they returned. The bodies were left where they fell. With any luck, their friends would come looking for them, and when they had, they would leave fresh tracks for Holden to follow when the party returned from town. Upon reaching Ashabenford that night, the party felt good to be back in the safety of the small but quiet town. ------------------------------------------- Next Time: Does Spiderfang leave the party? What does the party learn of the strange symbol? ------------------------------------------- [/QUOTE]
