Day 3245: Head out on the greenskin clean-up side mission.
Day 3247: Enter The Vaults.
Day 3249: Nadon and Timber are scouting ahead of us for signs of the greenskins. Two giant trapdoor spiders attack them. These monsters are 10 feet across, not including their legs. They injure Nadon's horse, Butternut, badly before Nadon is able to escape. Nadon gives Butternut a mercy kill. Caradryan and Jezeg fireball the spider holes.
Day 3250: Take a turn off of the main road.
Day 3253: Find the greenskin compound. We form up and charge. All of the greenskins outside of the cave entrance meet their demise - we do not venture into the cave. That night: We retreat back a safe distance to heal up and Caradryan watches over Arvin.
Battle Records: Caradryan = 36 kills. Nadon = 16 kills. Lillay = 4 kills. Ilmarian = 3 kills.
Day 3254: Keep watch while we rest and heal.
Day 3255: The orc horde is making their way down the pass. We break camp and retreat further setting our pace so that we keep the orcs in our sights.
Day 3256: We continue to stay ahead of the orc horde. Nadon and Nivak go back to scout and return with the news that an entire legion is following us.
Day 3258: Come to the main path - we turn towards Plasota. We've pulled far enough ahead of the orc legion that we no longer have them in our sights.
Day 3260: Harpies attack. I kill one, but the rest make their escape.
Battle Records: Lillay = 1 kill, High Damage Kill at 27 points.
Day 3261: We leave the mountains behind.
Day 3263: Arrive back in Plasota. Once loot is sold and we have some available gold, we purchase a small burial plot for Esche and bury his gear in memory of his faithful service. Nivak goes to his guild to try to recruit some extra help. Caradryan speaks of staying at a flophouse during this second stay in Plasota. I insist that we take rooms at an inn, as I am delicate and need a real bed to sleep in. Caradryan replies that he'll prove that I can sleep anywhere and begins casting. I run away and blow raspberries at him. He pulls out a tuning fork and asks if I remember what it does. I run even further - I do not have fond memories of Caradryan's lightning attack. Later that day, I take Growlyn and Jezeg with me to the biggest tavern in town to hire some adventurer types. It doesn't go well. It doesn't go so well. Three different groups turn us down and Jezeg takes this lull in activity to go to the crapper. Growlyn just up and leaves without telling me where he's going. I order another ale as I wait for Jezeg to return. Growlyn returns before Jezeg does with Caradryan and Nadon in tow. I leave my half-drunk ale at the table and leave the tavern because Caradryan is full of insults as soon as he sees me. From outside I watch the proceedings. They go to the last group we'd talked to where Caradryan proceeds to insult their dwarf. They decline the offer to work for us. Hmm...no wonder.
Caradryan and Nadon then go to the party of six and Caradryan insults the dwarf at that table. The dwarf draws his weapon. A bar fight ensues. Growlyn attempts to disarm the other party. Caradryan drops. Jezeg returns and attempts to remove the injured Caradryan. The bouncers subdue some of the opposing party. The tavern clears out except the two groups. Nadon almost kills one of the dwarfs. Jezeg drops Caradryan and bops the dwarf. An "ogre" appears at the door. One of the dwarfs cuts down two of the bouncers. The Watch arrives and battles the "ogre" - their weapons have no effect. The opposing party continues to attack Caradryan while he's down. The Watch by-passes the "ogre" and arrests Jezeg, Nadon, Caradryan, and Growlyn. They are taken to jail. I go back to the inn and report to the rest of the party what's just happened. We decide to wait and let Nivak scope out the situation before revealing that we know them.
Records: Nadon loses 1 fate point.
Day 3264: Nivak watches all day and doesn't see any comings and goings.
