The Long Faced Bartender

1866 – Burning, Day 22, Session Two
 
Its the morning. We gather our items and are hoping to get out of the vicinity before the soldiers find them. Rea and Crow gather most things and we mount up. Lore conjures up a fog cloud to obscure our departure. We ride off and after an hour we encounter razor-vines, we decide to go around them. A dust cloud forms behind us. An hour later we are surprised in the grass by 3 pumas. Lore is trying to befriend the alpha puma. we continue to ride along.
 
We stop and set up camp and dig a hole for the box and sword. We build a fire on top of the hole. As we finish building the fire we hear horses approaching and soldiers yelling to one another. They come into our camp and question us. They toss the camp, but we are not caught. We clean up then sleep.
 
LONG REST
 
Anatomical heart with a 4 point star in the background. The symbol looks like it is similar to the symbol of Nasir (according to Lor). We discuss where to go next and Kel explains that the box is made of wood from Pont. We discuss returning the horses to Wyldebrush. Lor uses speak with animals to ask the horses their preference. Sprocket and Tonks like Patrick and don't want to be without him. Mr. Willoughby is indifferent. He wants to do nothing basically.
 
Despite the horses desire to go home, we continue SE to Pont.
 
Along our way we see an eerie orange glow coming from he direction of Wyldebrush. Crow takes off towards the city. We ditch the sword and chest (Kel keeps the scroll). Crow is a mile outside of town when he encounters a half orc and the orc tells him "They are burning down the town". No specific reason as to who is they.
 
We catch up to Crow half a mile outside of town. We enter town and see Orcs pulling people from their homes. We fight through to the town square and see the sheriff on his knees in the center of the square being held by an Orc. The Orc is yelling for "Grukk" to come out. If he doesn't he will continue to burn the town.
 
Once defeated the Orc turns tail to run and says "Grukk, Amadi will find you". 10 G 1 fish skull necklace of animal teeth and a wedge of cheese.
 
I pay Patrick and tell him Mr Willoughby was stolen by an orc.He was rude and so Rea decides to keep Mr. W. When they go to trakc Mr. W they find Grukk and convince him to join them.
 
They sleep in the Skilled Star overnight. Mr. W is behind the bar and Lor asks him if he wants to join us. She says yes, Mr. Willoughby is a lady.
 
LONG REST
 
The next morning the sheriff comes in as we discuss what to do next.
