January 7, 2011 Session Overview
At the end of his rope...
As Vanador's barred wagon rolled into Port-a-Lucine, he could almost
feel the rope tightening around his neck. The trial was quick and, based
on Gash's detailed testimony, had little chance of convincing the
magistrate of his innocence. He was stripped down and shackled to the
wall of the dungeon while he waited for his sentence to be carried out
the following morning -- to be hanged by the neck until dead.
After a restless night filled with rat bites and nightmares, the first
rays of light crept through the small cell window and Vanador was forced
to come to terms with his impending death. He was marched in shackles to
a public stage where his charges were read to the jeering crowd. A hood
was placed over his head and he could feel the rope placed around his
neck. The crowd hushed as a level slowly clicked to release the trap
door beneath him. His teeth clenched as he braced for the jarring drop
when from the distance he heard a man scream, "Wait!" A sudden wave of
relief washed over him as the lever was reversed and he was declared
innocent and freed. For his trouble, he was awarded a mere coupon book.
Together again...
Several days later, the rest of the group arrived in town to find
Vanador and Stewart in residence at Madame LaFarge's chateau. They told
him about the doctor and true murderer. From there, the men sold the
valuable golem book they found for 90,000 gold pieces and went on a
massive shopping spree. The simple coupon book turned out to be much
more valuable a treasure since it was magical and functioned once at any
shop in town.
Additionally, when Vanador was confronted by the dead prostitute's
families, he was cursed by one of the Vistani parents. The group sought
out the family that was living on a barge in the wharf district. There,
Vanador learned that a curse could not be undone, but was provided a
remove curse potion by Tucker. While there, Eva got some interesting
news regarding her heritage from an old Vistani fortuneteller.
To the ruins...
From there they went to the geographic society where they inquired
about new jobs. Mr. Woodwych told them of a ruined temple that was recently
unearthed several days west of town. They accepted the task of exploring
it and set out on their way.
Not yet a day out of town, they came
across some "special" young giants and dispatched them easily, though
the act did not sit well with a few of the group members. They continued
unimpeded to the ruined temple. Once there they spotted a group of six
hobgoblins at the top of a hill. The group anxiously engaged them only
to find that nine more were camped on the opposite side of the
hill...let the battle begin.
