[QUOTE="PHDungeon, post: 5105331, member: 86320"] Session #11 continued. After dealing with the troubles in Moonstair the heroes continued their journey up river towards Fallcrest. While passing through the Witchlight fens they came across the river boat beached on the shore. There were several human corpses scattered about the beach. The corpses were all recent, and it was clear that they had met horribly violent deaths. Bjorn's journal details this part of the journey along with some of the events that took place after they reach Fallcrest. Bjorn journal 11 It is good to be heading north again, I feel at home in the smaller towns and villages. Jarl Surtur of Grimsburg has asked us to help in Fallcrest, as they are under threat of attack from the gathering orc hordes. The trip up river has been relaxing (except for the skull possessed troll) and the Halflings are good hosts. There seems to be some disturbance on shore... Well that was interesting and a bit of a close call for Darren. When we went to shore we found the remains of an attack on a money lender from Fallcrest. There had been rumours of shifter and werewolf attacks on the unwary in the area, and we found definite evidence to verify the rumours. The bodies had been savaged and we found tracks leading into the fens. We also found some chests that had been left behind hidden in the reeds, possibly for future collection by the attackers. Inside the chests was disturbing evidence that the moneylender was a devotee of Asmodeus. We considered pursuing the trail of the attackers. The river boat that belonged to the merchant and his men was still intact and river worthy so we decided to re-float it and continue on our way, as the mission to Fallcrest was urgent and it was deemed imprudent to follow an unknown number of attackers into the fens. The marshy land would give them a great advantage. Though if time was not pressing I am sure we would have ventured forth anyway. It was as we were about to re-float the boat that we were attacked by several swamp goblins and a pair of odd beasts I am told were cockatrice. I had heard of them but never before encountered them. We managed to kill or run off the attackers, but in the process young Darren was bitten and poisoned by one of the beasts. The result of the poisoning was complete petrification. The only thing I was aware of that would help was a ritual of remove affliction, but unfortunately my training has not progressed far enough for me to preform it, and we had no scroll to make the attempt.

This reminded me of some of my training in the healing arts along the same lines. We proceeded to remove the glands from the creatures and experiment. Fortunately, for Darren we were successful and we restored mobility to him. The balance of the journey upriver was uneventful and we made Fallcrest in good time. The town is in turmoil as the Orcs amass upriver. The town has hired some Dwarven mercenaries who are bored now with inactivity and are causing almost as much damage as if the orcs were attacking.

In the morning I will confer with the local Cleric of Odin and look to the training of the volunteer militia. [/QUOTE]
