EPISODE #2
Game
Date: 04-07-14
Cast:
Sparruu, Gul’Daryh
Supporting
Cast: Norgyl, Oda, Urtel
The
intrepid heroes investigate a 10’ tall Norg lying prone next to a
bench in the Ice Forest. Turns out he’s stone cold dead, despite
Sparruu’s best efforts to check for signs of life. On his person
they find some dried goat meat, a small vial of yellow liquid, a
mirror, 17 gold coins, a battle axe, and an odd map that appears to
be magical.
Gul’Daryh
believes the vial contains some form of potion related to poison.
The
map shows the Ice Forest with a faint orange path traced out. This
path seems to line up with the party’s current route as dictated by
Oda’s magic frogs. Other paths seem to change periodically when
you’re looking at them, leading the party to assume this is a
magical map.
The
Norg’s necklace, an indicator of his identity and station, is taken
in order to present it to the Norg of Frimmsreach and his body is
cleverly covered in snow near the bench for easy retrieval.
The
party presses on, using the magic frogs to check the logic of the
map, which appears to be logical. Things would be going
smoothly but for the circling, wailing, cloud-like monstrosities that
threaten our party. The threats come to a head and, when Gul’Daryh
climbs a tree for a better look, battle is joined!
The
cloud-like monstrosities feel the wrath of Gnomish sling-stones as
Sparruu proves they are mortal. But the Gnome feels the cold as the
eerie song of these white wailers freezes him in place, along with
Oda and Norgyl. Gul’Daryh shakes off the cold and sings his own
Windsong, causing the remaining creature to become docile…giving
him time to scramble up a tree and do some Burning Hands action.
Long
story short, Norgyl, freed from his icy paralysis, uses the dead
Norg’s axe to dispatch the final white wailer. The party is shaken,
wounded, and their health significantly drained. They press on as
quickly as possible, Norgyl carrying his unconscious wife, until they
reach one of the safe igloos scattered throughout the Ice Forest.
However
this igloo is not empty. An ugly, misshapen man occupies it,
threatening to kill them all for disturbing him. Sparruu applies his
Bedazzling powers – beginning to reveal his nature as a cleric of
Miana Musina. The charmed man, named Urtel, vacates the premises
under the promise that better igloos of a “royal” nature are
nearby. The party moves in, finding the man’s fertility goddess
statue and a dirty sock.
Urtel
comes back but the heroes and the ugly man come to a peaceful
agreement to share the igloo. They get a solid and extended rest,
feeling the warm healing magic of the igloo revive them to full
potential.
End
of Episode #2.
