It is late afternoon on Day 900. All except Qhortho are badly injured. All except Aran and Farron have exhaustion.
Along with the 7 men of the Night’s Watch still alive, the Unlikely Assembly is currently outside a cave along a mountain range. They hear voices from inside the cave in a language they do not know.
Each of them recorded their own notes for historical reference.
Aran
- We were outside what seemed to be refuge… and empty cave that turned out not to be empty.
- When we heard the voices, we ran from the entry and Farron summoned a hut. It wasn’t big enough for all of us, so Qhortho and one of the Greyguard soldiers stayed outside. They ducked behind the hut, hidden from any cave dweller’s view.
- In the morning, we teleported to Greyguard to recuperate and figure out our next steps.
- We decided we needed some materials that were harder to find and teleported back to Oldtown.
- I upgraded my armor to be +1 plate. It was expensive, but worth it.
- I also picked up some more potions. We were able to strike a deal for future purchases if we were able to provide a steady supply of ingredients.
- We teleported to the far north from Oldtown, nearby the same cave where we heard those voices. We immediately trekked to the northeast along the river.
- After 2 days, we ran into some ogres, dire trolls, wights. I almost died again… but I was able to get back up within half a minute. Qhortho was even quite injured.
- We ended up killing them all and stayed in the hut overnight.
- We’ve just awoken in the morning, and the cave dwellers are surrounding us.
Qarzdaq
- Farron cast Comprehend Languages and told us they were talking to each other about investigating the sounds outside the cave. He said it wasn’t safe so we ran.
- People in the cave same out and said “hey!”, but they don’t follow us.
- Took a long rest in the hut and teleport back to the Greyguard.
- Next up in the build queue after support tower is the temple.
- Teleported to Oldtown to look for more gear and potions.
- I got lucky with my spell and ended up in the center of town. I made sure to grab a brick to make it easier next time.
- Aran sold his old plate for a +1 plate armor.
- Clement’s Curses in Oldtown is where we got our weapons.
- We haggled with the potion man for the 5k platinum worth of potions. He gave us our 5k purchase for 2250 platinum.
- The potion man added that he is looking for any pestles, bowls, vials… really anything for creating potions and other elixirs. If we are able to provide him items like this, he will continue to give us 20% off our future purchases.
- We teleported back to the cave area to the far north, and continued onward. After a day or two, we heard some noises up ahead. I went to investigate and I must have made a little too much noise… I came upon dire trolls, ogres, and corporeal wights, and they attacked me while the rest of the group was still 200’ behind! FML.
- We made it through, but damn… had to break out my wings and everything. Oh and I did manage to control one of the ogres for a bit.
Farron:
- Day 901: We just spent a night in the hut north of the wall. The fight yesterday took tolls on the party in different ways. Qhortho was possessed, Aran was nearly killed and Qarzdaq was aged 20 years. As for me, I suppose I was impacted the least but I do feel myself becoming more closely drawn to the compass Crystal as though some sort of bond is forming. During the previous day we had a near encounter with some cave dwellers. The wildlings do not get along with their kind, but I am not sure if that creates an opportunity for us.
- Day 902: We ported down to Old Town to stock up on supplies. Of particular interest was getting some potions to help with the increasing threats we have been encountering. We worked out a deal with the merchant in the local potion shop to stock up and set the foundation for future needs. We will need to collect resources for the vendor and keep an eye out for any additional opportunities that may help him. In return, he will give us a 20% discount on future purchases.
- Day 904: We ventured north of the wall, starting near the cave where we previously left off. It was not long before we ran into another pack of undead things. Aran again nearly died. Qhortho managed to put up a fight in this encounter. Qarz laid down fire as he hovered in the air… it was quite a sight to see. I relied on Crown of Stars, which is quickly becoming my go to offensive ability. We won the day and finished in the trusty hut.
- Day 905: We woke up refreshed. We are currently surrounded by the cave people… The rest of the guys are wanting to head back to the cave to chat with the cave dwellers.
It is now Day 905. In this session each member of the Assembly gains 3.5kXP, bring everyone to 196kXP and leveling up to 16! Good thing too… who knows what these cave dwellers have in store for them…
