Sparruu, Gul’Daryh, Frothgar, Argus
Supporting
Cast: Quilliam, Skat
That
night the air is thick with anticipation and energy. Sparruu dreams
of a sacred temple, a giant serpent, and a coming fireball from the
sky. Frothgar dreams of mighty Frimm battling snakes and worms and of
a giant hammer. Gul’Daryh homes in on the magical aura of the lake
itself, a convergence of elemental forces seems to be at its heart.
And Argus, hungry, discovers an invisible assassin poisoning the
food. Poor old Edda lies dead after tasting her own gravy.
The
assassin is tracked to the treeline where the tracks vanish. Elf
magic? Elves are known to step through the trees like stepping
through doors.
Bjorn,
the merchant, overhears the conversing heroes and offers his help.
Back at his store they learn that many items, not just gloves, tend
to become “magical” in the village. And not always in a good way.
He demonstrates a simple pick that vibrates with raw energy. He tells
of dancing spoons and floating shovels. And the man, sick it seems,
falls dead before the heroes.
What
evil is wafting from this village like a foul stench?
Later
the team goes to Blart’s abode to discuss the items they left with
him but the old wizard is gone. His wolf, Snowlope, drops a sack of
their items on the ground and says his master has gone. The sack
contains most of the things they left, sans the goddess figure and
fancy sword. A note in the bag indicates that the Shrine of Worms is
located at the bottom of the lake.
The
dwarf Silverchain, who has been watching this unfold, steps up to
offer her assistance, having a reason to desire the preservation of
the goddess shrine she believes to be located nearby…specifically
on the island at the lake’s center. She produces a small book
which, using the magic goggles acquired in the labyrinth, Quilliam is
able to read. It is a journal detailing the ritual to be enacted in
order to awaken the evil of the Shrine of Worms…and it involves the
slitting of dwarf throats!

Supporting
Cast: Quilliam, Skat
Our
resolute heroes retire to the rooms graciously provided by old Edda
at the Common Room. But Frothgar, Skat, and Gul’Daryh volunteer to
take watch along with the sheriff’s men, just in case the orcs make
an assault…which they do.
The
tricksy monsters try to attack from two directions but are met with
fierce resistance. Then, in the midst of the battle, sheriff Tamar is
taken down by an orc arrow. Sparruu, hearing the commotion, rushes
out and lays on hands, praying to Miana Musina to save the man’s
life. She accepts his prayer and the good sheriff is immediately
healed of his wound.
Bjorn,
the merchant, comes out of his store bearing gloves that glow with
magic and commanding the orcs to scatter. The glowing image of a
blond warrior appears above his head and the orcs, fearing this
magic, flee. Bjorn collapses after using the gloves.
Blart
trudges through the snow through the middle of the growing crowd and
takes the magic gloves away. No one stops him. “I told you to stop
messing around with this stuff.” He says, walking away.
