Message: <blockquote data-quote="aartvb" data-source="post: 9624983" data-attributes="member: 7035557">Session 28 (08-03-2025): The Night BeforeThe group discusses whether they need anything else for Lady Timor’s journey to Lord Gallo.Once they are on their way to Lord Gallo, they decide to summon the Fire Elemental on a grassy field at the end of the day—the one Baraccus mentioned on March 17.<code class="bbCodeInline">During this session Elio’s and Athoz’ players were not present. Therefore we decided to move this encounter to next session. Chronologically this will happen on March 23, but we will play it out during next session.</code>March 24The group arrives at Gallo’s Fend. In the distance, they see a plume of smoke—it seems the Nasham River is on fire as planned. Kyra goes her own way from here, as the group no longer needs her.<code class="bbCodeInline">Elio’s player’s girlfriend has tried D&D, but didn’t like the combat part, so she won’t be joining us anymore.</code>March 25Lord Dashgoban’s army arrives at Gallo’s Fend.March 27Lady Timor’s army arrives at Gallo’s Fend.March 28King Steppengard’s army arrives at Gallo’s Fend.The group is invited to Lord Gallo’s war council to plan for the upcoming battle. Lord Gallo deems them best suited for the following two crucial missions tonight.<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">There are catapults in King Steppengard’s camp. Destroying them would greatly aid the fight. This could be done covertly during the night.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">On March 22, the group learned that the powerful war mage Kelkin Thravanvost is among King Steppengard’s forces. Assassinating him would significantly weaken the enemy.</li> </ol>They choose to pursue the second objective. Additionally, they gather firewood and pitch, spreading it along the Nasham River near Gallo’s Fend to make it harder for King Steppengard’s to enter Gallo’s Fend.They sneak invisibly toward Kelkin Thravanvost’s tent, which is fortunately positioned at the very edge of the camp. Carefully, they slip under the tent’s fabric. Vashera attempts to assassinate him in his sleep with an axe, but at that moment, an alarm goes off. The guards spring into action. Vashera quickly finishes Kelkin off, and the group flees. A loyal gynosphinx pursues them, but they manage to defeat her as well. In the end, the mission was much easier than expected.<code class="bbCodeInline">I kind of forgot about the alarm (I only remembered it when Vashera was already about to kill Kelkin, but st that point it was kinda useless), so it was a bit anti-climactic. Oh well, naughty word happens, especially when you’re tired.</code>On their way back, they ignite the wood and pitch along the Nasham River.They decide to not go on the catapult mission and get some rest so they are well-prepared for tomorrow’s battle.</blockquote>
