Icewind Dale Session 2 Recap

From Wort's Journal 17th Firstfrost, 906 SA   Well, after talking to Ole Plesi, we had to get that strange as fack “Goliath” dry. I don’t want to be the one to tell him but he really needs to drop that stupid act. I mean HOW MANY OTHER GOLIATHS DO YOU SEE WEARING A BIG FACKEN’ COAT!!! Moradin bless him though he just looks a bit scared. I mean who wouldn’t be in this… Sorry back to the important part. After all my new friends and I had a nice sit down by the fire, we went over to the Grumpy Moose to show that cheapskate that he can’t trick us with his 5 copper price per fish. I mean I was a right gentleman to the bloke and he was trying to take advantage of me. We ended up making a deal for 4 copper/lb, but I’m not quite sure how much that is. We don’t use lbs where I come from. Actually, now that I think about it, everywhere else I’ve been to uses Kilos too. These people must think they’re real special or something.   Ok STAY FOCUSED WORT. Here we go, after unloading those fish we decided to find Tali to tell them about Ole Plesi. [bartender grumpy moose] told us we would find her over at another pub called Buried Treasure. This place was way nicer than the Grumpy Moose. I mean the place was pretty empty but much tidier. And then we met Ms. Sobbing Susie, the Bar Keep. She went on and on about her son, and how he left with this man and didn’t come back until after the man he left with came back, and how he got really dodgey after he came back. I think she mentioned something about a black ice amulet that looked like a sword, I don’t know. I just told the poor woman we would find her son to get her to stop crying but she just wouldn’t facken’ stop mate. I couldn’t even get her to tell me her son’s name. She just kept making this sound that sounded like Huarwar, Huarwar. I hope one of these other mates speaks cry baby.   Anyways what was I talking about? Oh yea, Tali. We told them about our meeting with Ole Plesi and provided a bea-utiful sketch of this magnificent creature. Tali was very pleased with our discovery. So pleased in fact, that they gave me a copy of their book and paid us a little extra.   While we were resting and waiting for Torg’s to come into town, we came up with this wonderful plan to lure this “Agent of the Frostmaiden” out of town so we could kill him without alerting anyone. I mean I don’t think it would have mattered. Probably could have slit his throat in the buried treasure and just dumped him outside and nobody would have been the wiser but because some people are a little worried about a little trouble we decided to take him outback as we say in Fharlanghn. We had a few from our party go to buy something from Torg’s and talked about going back to help our friends “the tortle” (THAT”S ME!) and “the orc” because how often do you come across such a fine specimen like me in a place like this. I think most tortles wouldn’t like it her but I think I’m getting used to it. The cold………   God Dammit Wort pull it together! You’re almost done here. Moradin Guide me *I cast guidance on myself*. After being overcome with a fog that seemed to follow back to camp, we saw our target. It was like he just came out of the fog, but I knew we could take him. We pummeled, pounded and out right whooped that little chook but I don’t think he will be that last one of his kind that we see. I mean he was facken’ zombie! How often do you come across one of those.   After conquering this undead abomination, we went back to tell our friend Hlin that we gottem. Told her all about the undead thing too. We met her at the Three Flags Sailing, got paid, picked up leads on jobs in Termalaine (something about a mine), Lonelywood (something about that mean old White Moose Plessy was telling us about), and Bryn Shander (something about a missing ingot shipment). We also caught Speaker Naerth up on what we’d been up to, and he asked us to pay back our favor by taking the Termalaine job and sabotaging their Speaker (apparently he knows someone who’d be better at the job or something). Also, Baldric went off on his own for a bit to talk to Naerth’s buddy Skath. I’m sure they just wanted to catch up on old times.
