Session 4: Into the Midnai Wilds
Morning, 17th Summer Prime, 498 CE
Ekhart, Sanglant, and Revana had breakfast with
Egren
.
Egren offered to bring a letter to
Ekhart’s mother
for him.
Ekhart was confused as to why he would write his mother a letter.
Egren exclaimed that he himself was a mama's boy.
Egren,
Old Zeke
,
Bayden
and
Tavian
all left for
Mae Relian
.
Sanglant entered the Faerealm again.
He touched Ekhart’s hand who felt it tingle like it was asleep.
He gently cupped the light that floated around Rev.
When he did, Rev felt a sickening pull into some kind of darkness.
He checked outside and saw the large Water Elemental, but was far away enough not to be noticed.
The party left for Ambermoor.
They eventually reached a crossroad, and turned south towards the
Midnai Wilds
and Ambermoor.
Afternoon, 17th Summer Prime, 498 CE
The party entered the Midnai Wilds.
The Midnai Wilds had many, extremely large trees.
They were large as ancient redwoods, but their branches hung low like weeping willows.
As they were walking, the party heard an
old woman’s
distressed cry.
They stealthily approached and noticed three bandits banging on a large stumped.
The bandits all had red bandanas covering their faces.
The stump appeared to have been converted into a woman’s house.
Sanglant split off, attempting to go into the Faerealm and see what he could see there.
As soon as he did, he was surrounded by small blue goblins that held him at spear point.
They wanted to take Sang to he their queen.
He quickly returned to the physical realm.
Rev turned into a bear and she and Ekhart approached the bandits.
The bandits saw the traveler and his bear and mistook them for aggressors and the two parties attacked.
A fourth bandit was eventually revealed to be an archer hiding up a nearby tree.
The party handily defeated the bandits.
The woman in the tree stump was grateful to the party for helping her.
Her name was
Agabane
.
She offered them 3 healing potions, a potion of Bull’s Strength, potion of Cat’s Grace, and a potion of Eagle’s Splendor.
She also told them that she would sell potions to them for a discount rate.
Agabane also had a friendly black cat that took a liking to the party.
The cat’s name was
Aloysius
.
Agabaned explained to the party who the bandits were.
They were members of
the Silent
, a group of disenfranchised knights.
She used to work with them until she heard that they had taken someone hostage and tried to random them.
She didn’t like their underhanded ways.
The party departed for Ambermoor.
Evening, 17th Summer Prime, 498 CE
The party made camp for the night.
Morning, 18th Summer Prime, 498 CE
The party woke up and set out for Ambermoor.
Afternoon, 18th Summer Prime, 498 CE
The party arrived at Ambermoor.
The town rested between the
Shadowfen Thicket
, a thick and gnarly looking forest, and a raised plateau with a castle on it.
The path sloped down to a wood gate with
a guard
stopping the party from entering.
He appeared to be openly hostile to Rev, and elves in general.
Sang mentioned he was a knight and the guard let the party pass without fuss.
Ambermoor was a Tudor style town, always in the shadows of the forest or the plateau.
The party found an inn to ask for more info about Ekhart’s brother.
They found an inn called the
Windscene Tavern
.
They began taking to the innkeeper,
Ian Aether
.
He asked Sang what kind of knight he was, who then indicated he was a mercenary knight, doing a Nobleman’s business.
The party asked the Innkeeper if they had seen anyone that looked like Ekhart.
He said he hadn’t but he HAD seen an elf a while back that reminded him of Rev.
Rev asked Terra about the elf, and Terra showed Rev an image of
Laef
, her longtime childhood friend, and a picture of jail bars.
