Story Award. Friend of Elk Tribe. You help the Elk Tribe move their sacred relic so the evil dragon Great Klauth can’t get it. The tribe will start out friendly toward you.
I had a weak group of five. Haru Hunter Ranger 8 Wood Elf. Zar Wild Magic barbarian 8 dragonborn. Fat Fingers Paladin 5 Barbarian 3 Mountain Dwarf. Silk Arcane Trickster 5 Warlock 3 Half Elf. Marketh Oath of Vengeance Paladin 5 Scourge Aasimar.
Welcome back Marketh. We checked his logs and the pc was last played in 2019. Salute. Oh, he also found out I can only have 12 people in one campaign. If anyone is having trouble creating new pcs. Let me know. And I will print you out some new log sheets.
Thanks Christine for the wandering Weevil encounter.
The group arrives in Yartar with no encounters. Silk at the Wink and Kiss makes contact with the local thieves’ guild. Yartar is a river city so lots of traffic flows through the city and the tavern is always busy. It takes most of the day for his contacts to pan out. Around eight pm, a Hand of Yartar arrives. Information can be bought.
Zar, “Me buy information now. And give little wimpy man kissy kiss as tip.” She freaks out the contact but the information has been paid for. Harthal has been jailed for murdering a shop keeper. The Hand of Yartar does let Silk know, it was an assassination which Harthal botched. One watch Captain Brenner has claimed the sword as his own. But Brenner is also pass due his fees. Grabbing a paper Haru notices the date of the trial. The group thinks on the possibilities for a day while Silk joins the Harper’s. They have the following options. Pay the Hand. Murder Brenner. Haru turns states evidence. Or call in a Harper favor.
Silk does not want to muck out the local Harper’s stable to pay for the favor. So the group decides to buy the sword from the Hand of Yartar. But Silk does give evidence in favor of Harthal. Not great evidence. In fact, the jury laughs at his story. Harthal is executed by beheading for the murder. His widow does not pick up the body.
Zar looks at a map, “Flintstones nearby. We check it out tomorrow. Also don’t let Haru give me reference.” The next day they head out to Flint Rock. Along the way the mean part of Weevil’s gang. Using decanter of endless water, they hose the group down and take them out.
Note. It is an action to open the bottle and activate it. A bonus action to aim then thing.
Arriving at Flint Rock, they make friends with the Elk Tribe. Mentioning the chaotic evil Great Klauth is hunting for relics, they help the shaman remove the seventy-five-pound spear point from the altar. The tribe will move to a safe location.
The group returns to Yartar and hop on the Harper circle of life. They arrive at Nightstone a few days later.
