Another expedition to the monastery on Fisherman’s Point.

There’s gossip in Raushaw’s inn about those new folk that were dragging the body of their near unconscious lady elf friend about.

Last Time:
We turned right at a Y in the road, heading South-ish rather than inland.
(We being Aramis Darkmoor, Derringer Rollingrock, Danith, and myself, Uwil. Dalgatha, Liliana and Sir Wexton had opted to remain with the cart on the far side of the rope bridge that took the life of our trusty ox.)

Last Time: Dog ran amok at kobold-filled quarry, was christened ‘Otto’ and sometimes ‘Bad Dog’.

Sir Wexton, an old buddy of Danith’s caught up to the party (Aramis, Danith, Dalgatha, Liliana, and myself) as we were readying ourselves to approach the quarry again with hopes of parley. He had heard in the village that we had undertaken a rescue mission and the swiftness of his steed, and lack of a burdensome cart, meant he had little trouble locating us.

Party Members: Liliana, Aramis Darkmoor, Danith, Uwil, Dalgatha]]

The party undertook a trek to the Red Hand Rock to rescue captives and retrieve a valuable statue from the wrecked ship there. We bought a cart and borrowed an ox from a local farmer, hoping that this would help us to get the statue back to Fort Talmadge and not just be an utter nuisance on trail…

The first section of coast road was not too bad. The first thing of note we encountered was a savaged kobold corpse in the road. We took a few potentially useful items (why not when you have a cart?), and proceeded on our way. The second thing of note was a bit more of a problem: a spiked pit trap in the road, complete with rotting dead animal in it. Danith jumped down for a closer look, and let us know that the beast had been a badger, once. While he was down there he pulled up some of the spikes, which we thought might come in useful, while the rest of us cleared a path around the pit for our cart to take.

Maneuvering the cart over the rough road was tiresome work, so we made camp early that night. During the night we were attacked by three orcs and a dog, which Aramis enchanted and is trying to tame and train. (We slew the orcs, of course. Those aren’t remotely trainable.) As we rested during the next day, another of the badger creatures found and attacked the camp. I think it was probably attracted by the rank scent of the dog. We killed it relatively easily and Aramis skinned and butchered it nicely. The pelt would have brought a nice sum of gold if we’d managed to keep it.

The next day as we were passing by an old quarry, we discovered it to be inhabited by kobolds. They were small and lazy, and we came to an agreement that we could pass by, as we were brave badger hunters and orc slayers, and had no interest in disturbing them. Unfortunately Aramis’ adopted hound was not under his control as he claimed. The beast was raised to kill kobolds, and that is what it tried to do as we began to cross in front of the quarry.

We were able to appease the lizardmen, one of whom was badly shaken but not seriously harmed, with an offering of all the armor we had stripped from the orcs we slew, in addition to the badger pelt and meat. They still would not allow us to pass, but only let us retreat up the trail, where we set up camp again and tried to come up with a new plan of attack.

Every campaign gets an Adventure Log, a blog for your adventures!

While the wiki is great for organizing your campaign world, it’s not the best way to chronicle your adventures. For that purpose, you need a blog!

The Adventure Log will allow you to chronologically order the happenings of your campaign. It serves as the record of what has passed. After each gaming session, come to the Adventure Log and write up what happened. In time, it will grow into a great story!

Best of all, each Adventure Log post is also a wiki page! You can link back and forth with your wiki, characters, and so forth as you wish.

One final tip: Before you jump in and try to write up the entire history for your campaign, take a deep breath. Rather than spending days writing and getting exhausted, I would suggest writing a quick “Story So Far” with only a summary. Then, get back to gaming! Grow your Adventure Log over time, rather than all at once.
