Quote of the night: “Why aren’t millenials containing the ancient evil?!”
Caper's Journal (AKA session 2 summary)
I tried to do a spell to ease the weather but it didn’t seem to work as the wind was vicious to the point it was difficult to fly in. My travelers packed up their llama with wood and shell crafts from the Taguel village and then continued on their journey. The one named Ryyan fell down a hill covered in thornbushes but the team was quick to patch him up and make their slow way towards their destination. That night, while they camped, I was not expecting a member of the Flamewrought Vigil to show up. Who could this Annabelle be hunting? This wasn’t supposed to be in the story, but I’ll take it!
She didn’t stay long and perhaps we won’t see her again. The boars she drew into camp were no match for my travelers! We made better time this time but there was magic in the air, a great torrent of storm magic was being unleashed and it hung in the air and sparked and stung my group. I hurried forward to see what the fuss was about and it seemed some rat-people (I’ve never seen rat-people before, I didn’t even know they existed, I’ll have to ask Travien-Sama about them!) My travelers were too wary (smart) to engage with the ETE who were attacking the rat-people (Nimhish, my travelers are calling them the Nimhish) so I broke the bridge and sent two of them down the rain flooded river!
It was awesome, I’m awesome. The remaining ETE were easily handled, though one recognized Ryyan. The Nimhish didn’t seem very interested in speaking with people, though the youngster, Ark, was friendly. We headed then into the domain of the Sunset Sentinels where we were greeted by a friendly patrol. It’s my first time meeting them, they are as powerful as the legends say. Friendly too. I wonder if Travien-Sama knows what this “Great Bane” they keep sealed in the mountains is and how they do it.
I cast my spell within the cave, to draw in monsters and challenges for my adventurers and I think it went off well. But my spell did not cause that Nimhish corpse to be there. And I didn’t expect the water hazard to sweep Alice up so! I’m curious what other challenges my spell drew as I don’t exactly get to choose what shows up. I worry for my travelers but I know they’ll see this through!
Onward! To adventure!
