Session 9 Recap
Session Start: Campaign Day 32.
- The party headed to the treasure map's destination in an unproblematic Journey.
- From the "for sale" loot:
- Grillik Grabbed The shield with the complex holy symbol on it.
- Kranimatraxis grabbed the light crossbow
- They discovered territory of The Sword Ogres, and had lunch with a giant-goat herder named Olg on the second day of their journey.
- The players were told that some humans, that were escaping the blight, were enslaved by giants to the south.
- Captured humans can be sold to them as slaves. Escapees returned fetch a bounty.
- It took two days to arrive at their destination. As they set up camp a few hours away from their their goal they noticed smoke coming from that direction.
- Was someone already there? They decided to investigate instead of setting up camp.
- Zib and Merywen (disguised as a cat) scouted the destination under cover of night.
- It was a ruined temple with a group of at least 8 guards camped atop it.
- There were tents and campfires.
- As the party planned to sneak into the camp they discovered a cave... the cave led them below the ruin.
- Zib discovered what seemed like a hidden door, but the party was unable to open it.
- Grillik used a crowbar to pry at it... which cased a piece of stone to break off and the sound of it hitting the ground echoed in the cave.
- The party panicked a bit knowing that the element of stealth was now gone. And as they explored deeper into the cave they encountered a group of... something... it looked like 2 ogres, 4 humans, and a kobold, eating the corpse of a Grimlock (a large humanoid without eyes).
- Upon seeing Grillik, one of the creatures stood, pointed, and shreiked.
- The fight was pretty rough - Grillik was pinned against a cave wall and surrounded. The rest of the party had to fight their way into the cave chamber from a narrow passage.
- The party was triumphant in battle.
- While Kranimtraxis tended to Grillik's wounds, a group of humans approached from the darkness. They must have been attracted by the noise.
- "Kranimatraxis?" Asked George - A human paladin of Bahamut from the old world.
- The paladin is accompanied by a group of humans. One of which looks exactly like two of the creatures the party has just slain.
- George and Kranimatraxis trained together and joined the Golden Order together. Now they find themselves meeting again under odd conditions.
