Session 2: Red Larch to Westbridge

[dmw71]

Dorobo
The group, all settled into the private, topmost guest floor of the Swinging Sword, rests easy and rises early the next morning. After moving downstairs, and looking around, Samdarag is nowhere to be seen. Kay, who's already on duty, is wiping down tables and making morning preparations. She nods to the collection of tables where everyone sat the night before, where George, and Arryn, and Rona all shared information and their concerns about Jane.

Seated alone at the table is a man. A colorful man. He wears leather armor dyed burgundy; purple breeches; a yellow and green tunic; and belt pouches of blue, green, and red color. With a broad smile, the man introduces himself as Dorobo, and says that he was commissioned by Samdarag to accompany you on your trip.

The man, indicating a few baskets of warm rolls and plates of butter, offers free "breakfast" to the group. "This," he says, holding up a rolled piece of paper. "Is the contract," he says, unrolling it for all to see. "In all the excitement yesterday, Samdarag forgot to have that detail addressed. I've taken the liberty of having it witnessed, but it will require a signature from each of you, and to be countersigned by Helmaer, in Westbridge, of course." Also on the table are two vials of ink and quills.

He tosses a small leather pouch on the table resulting in the clinking of coins. "Samdarag, for his sudden departure, and for the extra task of inquiring about Jane, upped the reward from 150 gold, to two hundred. Here is the extra 50 gold, up front."

Everyone, please welcome shiffd to the game, who will be playing Dorobo. I will begin to move the whole group later tonight, or tomorrow.

[GreyWolfVT]

Delgrot steps over signs the parchment and walks over to the cook or serving woman "Might I trouble you for some eggs and meat maybe something hot ta drink?" rather than eating the buttered rolls. "I'll add a little tip if I can get it fore we gotta head off." he adds with a smile.

[Rex]

Unna

Unna will pick up the contract and read through it after Delgrot is done with it. Assuming she doesn't note anything unusual she will sign it and move on to the buttered rolls. "Hi Dorobo, I am Unna I am point, what do you do?"

[Storm11]

Nexus looks admiringly at the human man’s colourful costume. I like it!” he says witha nod, and holds out his hand for a shake. ”I am Nexus, masters of shapes and changes of hue

Perusing the document minutely to ascertain if they are going to be cheated, Nexus only signs it if he feels that this is not the case. And extra 50 golds is most welcome though.

Sitting down to breakfast be snaffles several rolls and butter (and honey) before washing it all down with some fresh juice.

That done he will pack up his belongings, check he has enough rations, and move out.

[onlyme]

Ardium introduces himself, breaks his nightly fast, and prepares to head out.

[shaidar]

Alara rememorises her spell before heading down to breakfast.

She introduces herself to the newcomer with a smile Hi, I'm Alara, student in the arcane arts of transmutation

After enjoying some breakfast, she will read the contract and will sign it if it seems reasonable.

[ravenn4544]

Jaroo nods at the newcomer and gratefully helps himself to the offered bread and butter. He thinks, that colorful armor will do him no good in the forest... unless he wants to stand out ?!..

[Zhym]

Roderick demurs from the contract. "I do not need to sign a piece of paper to do what is right. Jane's trail seems to lead to Helmaer's, so I will accompany the group there. If the others feel that my contributions during our travels justify a share of the payment, I trust them to act justly."

[shiffd]

Dorobo shakes each hand with a broad small, looking warmly in the eyes of each of his new companions.

In response to what do you do? He responds, "A little of this a little of that." He pats a cheap guitar at his side," music is always fun, shall I play us a mellow tune to celebrate the morning as we eat?"

Upon meeting Alara his face lights up even more than the others and at her introduction he responds, "What a great pleasure to meet you. I'm sure you are being modest about your talents as a transmuter, for if they exceed your skills as an enchantress they must be impressive indeed."

After a bit of food himself (He may have eaten some before the rest arrived) he plays a bit for them, with a small song. He's not the greatest, you would get the sense that he loves the music but is more of a part player in a band than a solo artist, and not the level of a professional bard.

[dmw71]

To Westbridge
Accepting the bonus up-front payment, the group comes to an agreement how those funds should be distributed before setting out, as well as making any last minute arrangements. Realizing they face many full days of travel, they enjoy their breakfast quickly and depart.

Following the Long Road north out of Red Larch, the group begins their journey shortly after sunrise on a cool day. Progress is slow, but uneventful as the group arrives at the base of the Sumber Hills moments before sunset.

The group selects what appears to be a secure location to set up camp, and must decide upon a watch rotation... or not.



---

FYI... at your movement rate, the trip from Red Larch to Westbridge is expected to take 5-6 days. It may take longer if there are any delays. If you don't have the necessary amount of rations, please make sure to purchase what you think you might need before leaving (we can retro-fit this). The up-front payment (50gp) can be used towards this end... or not. Please, as a group, discuss on the OOC thread how those funds will be distributed and update your character sheets accordingly.

Finally, I created a tentative 5-foot marching order (adding Dorobro to the back). Please feel free to discuss (in the OOC thread), and let me know if any corrections are in order. Same for the 10-foot order, and any scout(s).

Day 2: To Westbridge
Travel through the hills is slow -- especially pulling a cart filled with magical spell components -- and while the road makes your journey easier, it's still far from simple with all the shifts in elevation. The group remains alert, but still allows themselves the occasional moment to take in the beauty of the landscape. Aside from the normal small mammals underfoot and a variety of birds spotted overhead, your daily progress is largely uninterrupted.

You estimate you're a third of the way through the stretch of hills, so you're still very much in the thick of the elevated portion of your journey:

Day 02.jpg (277 KiB) Viewed 6151 times

As the sun begins to descend off to the west, them temperature drops several degrees and the air becomes quite cold. Taking advantage of the fleeting sunlight, the group is able to locate a mostly flat area with some brush that is deemed suitable for camping overnight. Dorobo and Unna agree to take the first overnight watch shift, and everyone else unwinds, and ultimately drifts off for what will hopefully be a restful night.

As twilight approaches dusk, with the pair of night watchers keeping diligent watch, with Dorobo patrolling the road just south of where the rest of the party is sleeping, and Unna keeping look out to the right.

Suddenly, a quiet snap -- as if a branch or something similar is stepped on or disturbed in some unplanned way -- is heard by the night watchers. "Vizug be so stupid," -- a curse, uttered quietly in a deep guttural language that isn't quiet the common tongue, but resembling it -- is heard coming from that same direction. Neither the sound nor the quiet cursing is loud enough to wake any of the sleepers.

This disturbance occurs just east of Dorobo, maybe 50-feet away from his current position. The human rogue, without the benefit of being able to see in near total darkness, simply sees the outline of a taller section of brush he was previously aware of, from before night fell.

Unna, with her dwarven infravision, has a different view. (Note: See private forum.)



---

Okay, a few things here:

• Everyone, please deduct 1 day of rations;
• Only Dorobo and Unna are awake at this point. Unless either of them wake the party (and, if so, how?), everyone else is still asleep;
• Also, regarding the overnight watch, I'm basing is night two situation largely off this post, with Dorobo and Unna taking the first paired shift... but, please continue to formally decide upon a formal watch routine (including sleeping patterns, use of light sources, etc...). It does not matter to me how many people serve on a shift, or even how many shifts you form, but the party consists of eight members and needs to account for roughly 12-hours (from 18:45 on 20 Quintilis until 6:59 on 21 Quintilis). Future days will be largely the same. And, yes, spellcasters do require a full night of sleep in order to be able to recover their spells.

[Rex]

Unna

Upon seeing the humanoid hiding behind the bush she decides its very unlikely to be friendly. She aims and fires her crossbow. Once she fires she yells at the top of her lungs. "Dorobo, fall back to the others this thing is huge." She then drops her crossbow and draws her shield and sword.

Crossbow [1d20+1] = 18+1 = 19 to hit [1d4] = 3 damage

If it is a back attack she gets an additional +5 to hit and double damage. If it is on the Dwarven foe list she gets an additional +1 to hit, since she doesn't know for sure I am not sure this can be counted.

[shiffd]

Dorobo draws his bow and rushes towards camp to wake the others.

"Wakey, wakey! the woods a-shaky!"

He'll make a round pattering on heads and bellies, starting with the Paladin who will get a pat on the bum or crotch to ensure a reaction. For The laddies he'll be careful to gently pat somewhere unoffensive (a back, a head, a foot). Anyone up by the time he gets to them he won't bother.

After waking everyone he sets his bow down for a second to light his hooded lamp.

[onlyme]

Ardium awakens with a jolt, grabbing his bow and arrow.

He looks toward the darkened area, trying to determine the number of attackers.

[ravenn4544]

Jaroo awakens quickly, sleeping restfully amidst the trees, and raises his staff wary of danger.

[GreyWolfVT]

Delgrot comes out of his meditative prayer and grabs for his hammer then goes to see what is the matter. "Eh? What is going on?"

[shaidar]

Alara scrabbles upright, grabbing her sling, looking the heat shapes of potential enemies in the dark.

Round 0
Unna spies the hulking form, apparently still believing it is concealed behind a patch of brush. It presumably curses itself, or possibly someone -- or something -- else named Vizug. Without waiting to learn the creature's intentions, Unna takes aim with her brand new crossbow and pulls the trigger to send a bolt sailing true, striking the intruder. "Hei!" it yelps in its deep, guttural language which resembles common. "Hvem gjorde det?" Or resembles common sometimes. It clutches at the bolt, stuck near its left shoulder, and rips it out. It stares in the direction the projectile came from. "Dorobo, fall back to the others -- this thing is huge!" Unna calls out at the top of her lungs -- allowing the creature to pinpoint her location. The dwarven wayfinder ditches her crossbow and readies her sword and shield.

At Unna's warning, Dorobo draws his bow and rushes back towards camp to wake the others. "Wakey, wakey! the woods a-shaky!" the rogue says as he makes the rounds, rousing his sleeping companions from their slumbers by patting them on their heads and bellies... or backs, as appropriate. Once everyone has been cautioned, he sets his bow down just long enough to light his hooded lamp.


With pounding steps, the giant creature rushes at Unna, pulling up just before reaching the dwarf and roars loudly, flailing its arms -- and the massive club it carries -- menacingly.

The creature, easily standing 9-feet tall, is massive! It looks powerful, but oafish as it towers above Unna wearing little more than a leather loincloth and leather sandals.

"Vizug smadrer deg nå." it yells loudly, raising its impressive club above its head.

Unna

Unna rushes in for an attack, "Die Ogre!"

Long Sword [1d20] = 17 to hit [1d12] = 10 damage

[Zhym]

Roderick grabs his sword and leaps into the fray.

Long sword (THAC0 20): [1d20] = 15. Dmg (SM/L): [1d8] = 4 / [1d12] = 12
