Stirs in the night. An alarming revelation! Report
General Summary
- The party started out in the middle of their long rest.
- It's a soft storm and the rain made it difficult to see very far into the night.
- Tony wanted out of Taldric's pack and so he hopped out and heard an owl hooing.
- Shortly after, Taldric looked out to see a baby owlbear followed by a glimpse of a bigger one.
- Taldric sent Tony inside to wake up everyone.
- Tony went inside and Dreamys notice him enter, Tony described the situation.
- Dreamys and Tony woke everyone up and just before they could get outside, a voice from behind everyone said "If you touch that door, you're dead".
- This was revealed to be the mysterious hooded figure in the Sea Creature Saloon from the first session. He's a Tiefling rogue
- After some words and an attempt to put the Tiefling on the floor laughing, the party learned that he is a hired hand looking to assassinate Hearth, and the rest of the party should it be necessary.
- The party was informed that he will only disclose one client and that information is public to anyone looking in to his name (of which the party never got).
- He works for Seraphina as her informant.
- Taldric shortly entered the building after backing down the Owlbear and her cub.
- More words exchange and a deal is struck: Give this Tiefling one of Hearth's hands and make it look like he was beat within an inch of his life, and he will spare the party due to this Tiefling's nature and not wanting to see his mysterious client get their way.
- Jade and Dreamys proceeded to pummel the absolute piss out of the guy until he was damn near dead.
- The Tiefling faded away into the rain.
- Shortly after, a scream could be heard from the Hobgoblin, Uthric and a splatter of blood can be seen left on the porch.
- The party investigated but found no further tracks.
- Hearth finished his rest outside after cooling off from the encounter with the Tiefling who made a personal remark about his deceased mother.
- The party awoke and began the search for the owlbear in the morning fog.
- After following the tracks for some time the party stumbled upon some magical plants that could make potions of healing near the shore of the water.
- Dreamys was able to secure one plant out of the 3 that were there.
- After some shenanigans at the river where the current was strongest, the party made it across the river and were on towards the massive rock where the owlbear attack originally took place.
- First stumbling upon a teleportation circle that was inactive. Daggoss channels his magical energy in to it and it responds in turn, seemingly activating at his will.
- Shortly after, he is contacted by his uncle Thalron Shadowforge.
- Conversation ensues and the party learns of the teleportation circles only used by Vedalken researchers and top officials.
- In order to link these circles, the party must travel to the spire to link their code given to them by Thalron.
- Dark magic lingered in the area as everyone experienced the Shadow Person re appear for the first time in a long time.
- Gerald showed up and not soon after so did the owlbear.
- Daggoss fireballed the owlbear and the cubs, sparing Jade and Taldric from the wrath of his mighty spell.
- This angered the Owlbear and it rushed down the backline and downed Daggoss and Hearth.
- Jade slaughtered 3/4 Owlbear cubs and Taldric knocked out one.
