Itty Bitty Living Space

1866 – Burning, Day 26, Session Four
 
Along the road to Pont we see a broken down wagon. We decide to investigate and Lor uses speak with animals to translate animal noises as we approach. A Gnoll attacks us and the animals we heard were hyenas.
 
COMBAT
 
We defeat the Gnoll and Hyenas, but we lost Mr. Willoughby in the process. Lor mourned the loss of her friend.
 
Crow enlists the help of Grukk and Kel to repair the wagon wheels while Lor and Rea collect the scattered body parts of the wagon's previous owners. A couple of dwarves, who, according to a journal found among the wagon explained were from a small mining town called Longsnag. They had been on their way to Wyldebrush when they met with their untimely deaths. Lor and Rea bury the dwarves.
 
Lor then de-pelts the hyenas and prepares their meat to be stored. We inventory the contents of the wagon.
 
LONG REST
 
Next morning we load the wagon and have Tonks pull while Sproket rides alongside with Lor.
The first day on the road was uneventful, and by the second day we rejoined the main road. Several days pass and the high grasses become desert.
We hit Longsnag and conduct some business while in town:
 
Longsnag General Store- 20lbs of meat will pay 25 GP, We we also bought a canvas cover for the wagon 15 SP
Mine Foreman - 100 lbs of meat for 80GP worth of diamonds
 
Miles outside of Longsnag, we pass a dilapidated stone house with two people in front swaying under the shade of the remaining roof. Lor leads them away while Rea and Kel search the house. The people looked on the verge of decay and were teeming with ravenous worms. Inside the house we find many item, which we add to our party fund. Special items were:
 
* parchment with undecipherable script on it (Given to Kel)
* glass jar = with red seal smells like menthol (Keoghtom's Ointment) (Rea's keeping)
* glass vial (murky brown liquid) has a rat claw floating in it = vial of animal friendship (Rea's keeping)
* A small sculpture of a Minotaur dude with wings. ; "lord of undeath" (Rea's keeping)
 
4 days pass on the road when we pass a stranger. We pause to converse and when he hears we originated in Wyldebrush he asks if we know Amadi. He got a glimpse of Grukk before Rea advised him to hide himself in the back of the covered wagon. We ask him questions about Amadi and glean very little. Amadi is a warlord whose territory is centralized around Wyldebrush. The stranger's name is Riddle and he advises that Amadi is not to be crossed, but that he himself is not concerned as he is capable of handling Amadi.
 
We continue to travel, but in the road Rea spots an ornate brass bottle lying in the center of the road. The bottle's contents are not discernable from the outside and after close inspection Rea opens the stopper. A plume of dense smoke crawls from the bottle in a perfect 10ft circle around their feet. Then a formidable humanoid man appears in place of the smoke and after a moment of tension he bows at Rea's feet. He looks ready to be of service.
