[QUOTE="Vanuslux, post: 1698142, member: 937"] Twelve Days 'Til The Hammer Falls, Session #1 The 21st day of Autumn in the 99th Year of Ashes. The citizens of Redstream are having a night of revelry in the Wolfsbane Tavern, celebrating a resounding victory repelling a goblin raid. The merrymaking is interupted, however, by a direly wounded dwarf bursting through the front door, pleading "Help me...my brother...twelve days...'til the hammer falls..." before collapsing unconscious. The rogue Thyssen slips out of the tavern and scouts around the building while the wizard Lorus tries to help the dwarf with the aid of a priest of Karral named Terrimal. While Terrimal is attempting to heal the dwarf, Thyssen finds a goblin spying in through a window. He incapacitates the creature and brings him inside the tavern for questioning. Unfortunately the goblin manages to kill himself before the others can stop him. Thyssen and Lorus help Terrimal to get the dwarf back to the temple for further attention. While Terrimal attends the dwarf, Thyssen ventures out into the forest to seek one of the rangers patrolling outside the village to track the dwarf's tracks back to where he was attacked. While Thyssen is out searching, Lorus learns that the dwarf's name is Duugrim and he is on a quest to clear his brother's name of treason before the execution in twelve days. He believes evidence might be in the hands of a temple of Vella, Goddess of Night. He was ambushed by goblins on the way to Redstream to seek help finding the temple. The goblins that attacked him were not the ordinary kind of goblins that had raided the village earlier...they were more cunning in their attacks and some weilded long poles with venomous snakes fastened to the ends. The dwarf was direly poisoned before he could fend off his attackers. Unfortunately, even with Terrimal's healings it would days before Duugrim would be up to venturing out into potential trouble, but with time being of the essence Lorus volunteered to venture to the temple of Vella in his stead. The dwarf still wants to go, but Terrimal convinces him to get some rest before making rash decisions. Thyssen returns to the village with the young ranger Erik after Duurgrim and Terrimal have retired for the evening, but Lorus finds them. Erik leads Thyssen and Lorus into the forest, easily following Duugrim's bloody trail back to the place where he was attacked. Erik, unfortunately, isn't able to track the goblin's tracks well enough to find them but ascertains that they probably went westward, which Thyssen notes means that their paths may cross on the way to the temple of Vella, which also lays west. The trio return to the town to get what little rest they can before sunrise. In the middle of the night, goblins sneak into Lorus' and Thyssen's rooms and attack them. Thyssen wakes before his attacker can strike, defending himself admirably while crying out an alarm to rouse the other patrons in the inn. Lorus fares less well, being stabbed while still blissfully in reverie. He does manage to fire off a spell that wounds the creature considerably but he is felled with the second blow. Fortunately, with the patrons of the inn becoming active the goblin flees rather than taking time to make sure his victim is dead. The goblin that attacked Thyssen also flees after being thrown out the window. Both make it away while Thyssen finds another patron who is able to stabilize Lorus.
