Session Summary[edit source]

Synopsis[edit source]

The party makes it through the bog and departs for the Sea Ghost

This Session[edit source]

The trip through the bog is steady but slow going, about a mile from town Nail who has the lead catches a glimpse of metal about a hundred yards ahead just off the side of the path. Aldran, Durmen, and Egon move to flanking positions as the party prepares for an ambush and slows their pace. Durmen and Egon advance along the road while Aldran struggles to see anything of note. Egon rolls his eyes and points out the metal again - Aldran still cant see it. SO Egon grabs him by the nuts and squeezes, here this will help you focus your vision. Aldran still fails to detect the now seemingly obvious mass of metal. Confused, but seemingly getting the concept now he says "Here let me help", Aldran squeezes his balls harder and still fails to see it as his eyes water over. At this Egon gives up with disgust and simply walk over to the body now surrounded by the rest of the party.

A male body lies on the grass, its head cleanly separated by a sword stuck in the mud where it chopped through the neck. The grass is matted a few feet forward of the neck where the head once lay as denoted by a crumpled feathered cap. Durmen in his excitement tracks all over the evidence and fails to determine anything more from the crime scene. Aldran looks over the scene and muses it could be a bounty hunter taking trophies since they de-"cap"-itated him… The party throws the body in the cart and while grabbing the sword Durmen shivers as he notices the sword is the same style if not the same one used by the Drow on the bridge.

Making their way to Coregilia Corporal Crutherford greets the party at the gate, he refuses to let them enter after they Constable Halvor is en-route. Crit Fail He's more than ill, I don't think he's going to make it….Halvor takes the body and sword for inspection. The party goes to The snapped line to get a quick rest. Egon goes to the empty net tavern

The Sharkfin Bridge Apparition

The Drow apparition appears to Aldran and it advances menacingly towards him with both arms outstretched as if to seize him. He breaks into a run and by amazing luck Aldran just manages to avoid its clutches. In the process he notices the Elfs sword appears to be missing from its scabbard but the nightmare vision fades before he can get a second look. The rest of party looks upon him in concern, having not seen or experienced the terror of this dark figure, he relays what he sees to his companions but his mind struggles to put the pieces together. Aldran 'never wrong' Stormheart keeps his remaining thoughts to himself after that…(bonus XP for playing in Aldran in character)

Egons Late Night Snack

Egon heads to the Empty Net to meet with Eira. Upon his arrival Anya looks at him ruefully and asks about his business considering the last time he was here he killed some of her patrons with a cloud of spores. She's clearly not happy with the party - especially Aldran since he never returned like he promised...

He apologizes on everyones behalf and said he's just here to meet a woman called Eira in a few hours. With that her attitude changes and after a brief exchange of coin to secure a private meeting room, she sends him upstairs. Moment later a comely wench with a platter of wine, cheese, and bread knocks on the door to serve his meal - off her ample buxom. Before they get to start dessert another knock is heard, Eira announces herself and Egon tells the wench to leave by the window. With a huff she refuses to leave in such a an undignified manner, so he wraps a sheet around her and opens the door to push her out as he pulls Eira inside. Muttering about the hired help he looks for a clean spot for Eira to sit. While looking about he fails to notice that Eira has unsheathed a long dagger coated in a black viscous substance. In an instant she crosses the room and drives the dagger into is chest, the pain is intense and his vision darkens.

Yer Sack Stinks

Abe greets them jovially as they enter and asks how their adventures went? He also pulls Aldran aside to tell him he needs to get whatever he put in the cellar out as its reeking more than the fish. Its getting so bad his employees don't want to venture down to the cellar. Aldran pays him another four golden orbs and promises to have it removed the next day once they finish business with Constable Halvor. Somewhat satisfied Abe relents, especially after Durmen agree's to buy a round for the bar.

As they enjoy a quick meal and drinks a well dressed lad nudges Durmen politely and with a nod hands him a note, sealed with the crest of Lexana Brightshore. Breaking the seal, it reads…

Dear Durmen,

Please join me for dinner in three nights hence at my residence.

Lexna Brightshore*

The party speculates over her intentions and whether it be for good or ill. Durmen is quick to point out she most likely wants to discuss the sword that Aldran now carries. Further discussion will have to wait until they have survived the upcoming encounter with Mira and her cutthroats. Quaffing their drinks the party retires to their rooms for a short rest and to prepare for the upcoming battle.

Musing's

* Aldran studies his sword - gains the ability to detect life within 60'. distance/distance

* Durmen reviews one of the books from the library and gains a 10% chance to transmute lead to gold

* Nail gets inspiration +2 point for meditating

Row Row Row Yer boat…

Halvor and four sailors arrive about 930 - he reiterates the need to take Mira alive if at all possible. He also inquires about their 'half orc' friend (Egon) at which point Durmen rushes off to the Empty Net to find him. Anya isnt happy about his presence and says she hasn't seen Egon. He heads back to meet the party at the pier where they shove off and begin the trip to where the Sea Ghost is reportedly moored.

Row out to the ship and sell some slaves

#### Egons Fate

As Egon dives out the window the world fades to blackness, cold wet blackness. In the momentary transition between the realms of life and death Egon's soul is nearly torn apart by unseen forces, one pulling him back to the prime material plane, the other from a realm beyond. The venom on Eiras blade is impressive and accelerates his journey into a hellish domain now visible on his horizon, inwardly he smiles at the thought of death at the hands of a a fellow poison aficionado. The fates though cast their last die, and the struggle is over. With a start he sputters to life, death? - Sand grates across his skin and the tidal action pushes him under the pier of the tavern and out of sight of Eira. He finds himself being nipped at by small crabs as he thinks, oh no not again!

I See a Bad Moon Rising

The party moons the tavern as they row past. Egon is nowhere to be seen though the PC's note Eira's lithe figure in a 2nd story window looking out as if searching for something before she closes the shutters. If she saw the party she made no gesture that she took note of the moons second rising.

Rowing softly and following the shoreline about thirty or so minutes later the party finds themselves coming upon the Sea Ghost. Befitting her name she's hard to spot having moored without any running lights lit a few hundred yards just beyond the small island forming the outer breakwater of Corgilia harbor. Aldran reports he can see a few sailors can be seen moving about in a regular pattern, clearly awake and ready for trouble.

All Aboard!

Aldran leaps up on deck followed immediately by Nail and Durmen who's eyes can still barely make out the sailors gathered on the seaward side of the boat chatting quietly. Two sailors appear to be making a report to another slightly taller and better dressed crewmen, possibly an officer. Taking advantage of their moment of surprise Durmen fires off a group of magic missiles into the officer (Bloody Helena) who staggers heavily.
