The First Session: Attacked by Pirates!

-

The Long Awaited Start

  Mark -  Wizard  -   Arkelm
  Carl -  Fighter -   Natalie Bumppo
  Neil -  Priest  -   Paraselene Aqui   Mitra
  Bryce - Rogue   -   Reebo Underhill
  Dave -  Monk    -   Shadow Walker
  Sam  -  Druid   -   Syndra

  We start with a discussion of game environment, death, resting, etc.

  Random monster table is DEPLETABLE !!!  If we go back to town we may not have to fight through all the same stuff to get where we were.

  Meet and greet, bars are great places.

  Tegel Village is about a mile inland, with Tegel Manor overlooking the coast. 


Rested and fed, we headed out toward Tegel Village early.  A market town of perhaps one thousand, farming is the primary thing we expected to see.  Rumors of treasure and fame to be found at Tegel Manor

  We noted a group ahead of us, looked like sailors. As they approached, Paraselene signalled them to stop about 50' away from us.  They stopped and we greeted them.  They were looking for new crew for their ship, folks who wanted to take on the seafaring life.

  They said they have a place northeast of town, and we asked that they talk with us in town that evening.

  Their leader (we think) started to say 'sure', but pointed at Shadow Walker and said "take him and the women and kill the rest"

  Para said "are you sure?"

  Combat ensued

  The leader died immediately, but the others charged us. Battle ended shortly thereafter, with one pirate being led to the law in town. We pulled the bodies off the road, after confirming death and emptying pockets

  1 mace   32 silver   10 gold

  We kept on going toward town. In a while a fence line came into view.  Then a crossroad, Tegel and Garm pointers at it.  Then the village came into view.

  The lookout tower, northeast of town, was where we could find the local sherrif. There we went, prisoner in tow.

  Temple of Thor was in town, with a statue. Another shrine to Molna. A boarding house also.  We got a few 'looks' as we dragged the sailor.

  We turned over the sailor, and got a recommendation for an inn and stable. Syrena had garnered some horses in her previous job.

  We asked who might buy the mace, got a name for that too. Plus that there is a flea market in a few days.

  We set up for one night, and started asking for information about Tegel Manor.  Reebo would try to sell off the mace before we headed out.

Bark and Byte
Altharontha's Boarding House
Halaf Fec's Trade Monopoly

  Some items for sale at Halaf's, out of our price range.

  The ladies went to the temples, to pay respects. Para picked up some holy water, and was told that Halaf could sell her a small silver mirror.

  Goblins between here and temple, maybe pirates too. Rough area.

  A lawyer in town, Ep Stroten, claims to have documents proving he owns Tegel Manor.

Continued in Lawyers, Zombies and Goblins.

Session 55: The Test Passed & Finding the Dragon's Lair

The party passes the Tests of Garm and gets Garm's Blessing. After recovering, they search for another entrance to the Temple of Frigga, and instead find an abandoned dragon's lair. This write up is based on our Sunday, July 6, 2025 session and was written by our scribe Carl with a few additions from myself. Thanks to our mapper Jimmy for the screen shots.  Since we are scattered around the country, we use Discord for voice communications and the Roll20 online tabletop to connect with each other. Continued from:  The Tests of Garm Date: May 18, 4433 Location: The Tests of Garm W e were fighting the BIG wolf in the wolfie temple, subdual seemed like a good choice, so we started attacking to subdue rather than kill as much as we could. The fight ended with the wolf turning to mist and swirling down through a floor grate. We were not sure if that was a subdual, but it was gone. When the mist cleared the room, a door at the far end of the room opened, giving...

Continued from:  Meeting Ridwik of the Relic Date: May 15, 4433 Location: Tegel Village Over the last few days, Aefir has spent a lot of time meditating at the Temple of Thor. A priestess there believes that the missing people were caused by the monks of the Temple of Garm, but also thinks there is something odd is going on at the temple of Frigga. Tsathoggus, the high priest of Frigga has been out of contact for many weeks. Arnthora, the priestess, had a vision from Thor himself supported us needing to get something out of the Garm monaster...

Continued from:  The Test Passed & Finding the Dragon's Lair Date: May 19, 4433 Location: Tegel Village    6 AM W e were in the village discussing our situation in private. Somehow we need to get proof of whatever it is going on in the Temple of Frigga. Our days are counting down until the Lich (our current lord and master) comes after us for failure to comply.... Halaf Fec, the local merchant, had two unidentified potions. Arkelm identified them as superior healing and fire resistance . He bought them both. We had heard a dog barking through our talk, it turned out to be...
