Session 43: Prison Yard Bruha

The Order of the Freeheart spot the group of prisoners lead by a handful of muscular fighters beating up some remaining guards in the north

the troll is definately dead, having wrought havok to the Sanguine numbers

Druids on the cliffs to the west have used entangle and frost storm to trap and stop some of the Sanguine

Aidan Brightspark rides up from the gatehouse towards the centre of the yard

charms the trapped sanguine guard who is entangled

learning about the Sanguine's blood cult practices, their control over the land, and their mining of ethereal crystal

The guard expressed a desire to go home

breaks free and flees to the guard tower

- comes across the forest animals that the Dire ELk had commanded

Aiden asks the ELk to lead a charge towards the additional scuffle by the Mines entrance.

THe others take on the Sanguine in the north

easily fell the Sanguine guard

Sanguine Captain is far harder to take down

Leni Boley falls to him after failing with her roguish attacks.

Valen stops heading south to come back and stabilize Leni

Poppy having tried to take him down then heads south to join the fray with Aidan

ELk CHarges another Sanguine Captain, whilst 2 Sanguine Guard and a Sanguine Veteran take on other Prisoners.

Aidan sends a message to Babar the Elephant to let him know to keep the veteran alive for questioning.

Aidan leaps from the ELk when he is almost felled by the veteran and using Jump climps the cliffs to the Goblin Archers

Persuades them to help with the fight by the mines

uses his Wind spell to try take down some Sanguine Guards, but also kills some Goblins, blowing them off the cliff and walls.

ELk ends the Captain

The others have headed down to take on the remaining guards after finally overcoming the north Sanguine

In the North the fighters are slaughtering the unconcious guards and taking their heads as a trophy.

Valen takes a pot shot from almost 130 feet to take out the southern veteran

Misses

Veteran returns fire with his crossbow and almost ends Valen

Valen and WHistle take cover behind a wall taking pot shots

Poppy turns invisible and does the same to the south after she is felled as a wolf.

finally take down

The leader of the southern Prisoners tries to take the life of the Sanguine Veteran but is stopped by Babar's use of ENtangle

Finn attempted to reason with the fighter, but initial attempts at persuasion failed

. Subsequent intimidation attempts also proved unsuccessful

The Fighter is from Clan Bruha and wants the prisoners to now have the mines and the riches within

Poppy used a commanding speech to address the situation and rally the other prisoners

employed both intimidation and persuasion, achieving a degree of success

Other prisoners back away

- The fighter's defiance continued despite Poppy's attempts to persuade them -- Valen ultimately resorted to force, resulting in the fighter's death - Sylvan Mosswhisperercame down from the cliffs and questioned Poppy's actions and was disgusted by Valen and his Light God ways for killing the prisoner. -- The Druids turned to Eagles and left. - By the gates the final visible Sanguine Veteran fights the Goblin leader, all others have fallen. - The Freehearts have their prisoner - no sign of Wene, Snarl or the Town Guards - the prisoners to the North have finished off all Sanguine and are celebrating their freedom and having taken the Mines
