Game
Date: 04-14-14
Cast:
Sparruu, Gul’Daryh
Supporting
Cast: Norgyl, Oda, Urtel
The
group gets plenty of rest in the comfort of the mysterious safe igloo
and then sets out. They note that Urtel often clutches at a rather
nice necklace around his neck. It is a black chain with a green gem.
No one asks about it. Later, Urtel is witnessed to convulse and have
a bit of a spasm. But due to other dangers this observation is not
discussed.
They
decide to continue trusting the magic frogs. Urtel momentarily urges
them to follow the orange path indicated by the magic map, which
deviates from the frog path. He claims to have been down that path
and to have seen a cave. But he is easily convinced to abandon the
idea.
Following
the frogs leads them down many paths. White wailers are calling in
the distance and the paths are increasingly confusing, seeming to
spiral in on each other. The party suspects illusions might be at
work. Gul’Daryh climbs a tree to get a look around but sees only
more trees. Then the white wailers close in, chasing them down the
final frog path and to the end of the forest.
Battle
is joined! Sparruu and Gul’Daryh are caught by the wails, frozen
for several moments. But arrows, axes, and Windsongs prevail and the
group makes it out of the Ice Forest alive.
Outside
they ascend a steep slope and discover that while they may be out of
the woods they are not out of danger. Cyclopean orcs are nearby!
These one-eyed red monsters stand between the party and the road to
Frimmsreach.
A
plan is devised. Sparruu Bedazzles the orcs to lure them while
Gul’Daryh and the others attack from behind. The Half-Elf’s fire
magic and swordplay take out the cyclopean leader while the others
are decimated by Sparruu and gang.
Among
the minor loot taken from the one-eyed monsters is a brass ring
bearing the emblem of a wolf…it is Norgyl’s brother’s ring!
Could Argus be so close? Did the orcs leave him dead?
The
gang take off in the direction they suspect the orcs’ last raid
occurred.
End
of Episode #3.
