Strahd's "The lost Caverns of Tsojcanth" CLOSED

[wmasters]

At the end of the day, Turo mutters the spell Deeper Darkness, extended with his metamagic rod, which he places on his stone, to renew the magics, before dropping it back into his bag.

In the morning he prays for his spells (edited on the Character Sheet). Mounting Bonzo he turns him to follow the dwarf, commenting to no-one in particular, "Sounds like this leg of the journey might be relatively straightforward. The idea of peaceful orcs is quite refreshing!"

Gorash the lonesome

With a few simple gestures accompanied by the characteristic arcane syllables, the wizardess casts a spell and moments later a new riding horse complete with saddle and everything appears next to her.

“As I told you, lack of horses won't be our problem.”

With a smile, she offers either her real steed or the conjured one to the dwarf, whatever he prefers.

Ahhh… a wizard, what foul elven magic do you posses?!
The dwarf shouts in panic but settles quickly
He dismounts Maor's steed and approach carefully to Allyra
You should take this abyssal horse conjurer and I'll take yours!

 

[Thanee]

Allyra

Allyra laughs. “That's fine. There's really nothing abyssal about this horse. It's as normal as any other, except for the little magic that holds it here for a while. Maybe a little stronger,” she adds with a wink.

“Abyss and Hell are just two planes out there, there are many others, some of them are very calm and beautiful, and there are even some, which I suppose you would find very appealing. Unfortunately, I cannot show you those. It takes long to master that and I'm still learning...”

Ahhh… a wizard, what foul elven magic do you posses?!
The dwarf shouts in panic but settles quickly
He dismounts Maor's steed and approach carefully to Allyra
You should take this abyssal horse conjurer and I'll take yours!

"Worry not, friend" Keldar says to the dwarf, "I too am wary of wizards, but this one has proven her worth and valor in combat"

Looking away from the dwarf, Keldar then winks at Allyra with a good natured smile.

"Well, we should all be on our guard still, even if the orcs aren't too hostile, you never know what they might decide to do" Garon says as he keeps scanning the rocks as the path winds around. "Let's hope they decide not to act out of character this time."

A good day to travel
Says Gorash as you proceed in the hills and leave Triplegate behind you
The forgotten path that leads to the abandoned village in the north zigzag through the rocky hills, here and there you can spot, big bushes and wild flowers but there are few trees around those hills, although it's not raining, the blowing wind is strong.
At twilight time, you stop for a drink on a high ridge, the scene is astonishing
You can see a green valley and the raging Fals river, a mile to the north lies the foaming Falls of the mists, you can even spot flocks of birds flying around the Falls. To the north east lies the magnificent Krag Spire, the stone spire jets from the earth itself into the wide air and controls the scene. The over grown path leads down to the valley, to the abandoned village. There is a strong side stream that branch out from the Fals River and cut the village into two banks.
That is the stream that you saw near my house, he disappears under those hills to the south and springs again a couple of miles before it reaches Triplgate.
Says Gorash and takes a sip from his water skin.
On the right bank of the stream you spot dead fields, on the left side, you see several buildings flanked from both sides with the stream and a high granite cliff.
We'll camp in the village lads
Says Gorash and push Allyra's horse
Move! You cursed beast.
He shouts when the steed keeps standing
You and your abyssal creatures, I know you have something against me
He mutters to Allyra when the horse moves at last.

Turo moves Bonzo forward at a slow walk. "Seems somewhat creepy staying in an abandoned village like this. Almost sacrosanct." he says as he rides in, although he shows no sign of slowing.

Turo casts Create Food and Water, making enough food for the group for the next 48 hours (but not the horses - food for 18 people which keeps until tomorrow), to ensure that the rations do not run short. Hopefully the horses can graze nearby.

Krag Farms

You arrive after sunset into the village, The wind is blowing strongely and Luna stands high in the sky when you pass along several stone buildings, fir trees scattered around and the surroundings ground is over growth with wild weed and green grass, there is a ruined brick path that cuts the village from side to side.
You pass along a ruined church and then you hear the call
Oh my, what are we seeing here?! a fresh cargo, and only six days have passed.
You look around and finally see the origin of the voice, a weird sight indeed
On top of the ruined church, sitting on the roofing tiles where a god's symbol once was placed proudly, sits an … it's can't be, or is it, an albino goblin?

[sblock=ooc]
Looks like Devrimk left so I'll easy on the encounters until I'll recruit another one... hopefuly he will show up.

Allyra

“I can assure you, that horse you are riding is as normal as they get,” Allyra comments happily.

Later, when they enter the village, she looks up as the voice calls out. “So much for getting our well-earned rest here.”

Then she calls out to the pale creature on top of the church.

“Greetings! Are you looking for food? We have food. And if you are willing to tell us what happened with the ones that came here six days ago, we might even give some of it to you. Just so. Sounds good?”

“Greetings! Are you looking for food? We have food. And if you are willing to tell us what happened with the ones that came here six days ago, we might even give some of it to you. Just so. Sounds good?”

Keldar instinctively fingers his spiked chain, and turns his horse sideways to keep an eye on the flank he's on and the back of the group.
