- Gideon, the Wood-Elf, Hermit, Ranger
The Temple of Ulaa
Our travelers began their adventure taking a quest from a prince to clear out an area of Goblins. The Goblins had been attacking travelers on the main trade route and generally being a nuisance. The princes brother, the king, was supposed to deliver additional troops to help clear out the Golbin infestation but did not show.
Our adventurers made buddies with some bandits after saving them from a small wolf pack, they found the entrance to the suspected Goblin layer, a large crack in an other wise unblemished stone mountain face.
As the party entered it became clear that this structure was not of Goblin design. A long narrow bridge traversed a large cave drop. They found some additonal wolves, and a goblin tending a worg in a pen. There was a lot of mudering in the area.
After murdering everyone in sight the party investigated a large wheel, but could not seem to turn it despite some serious efforts. Frustrated they gave up and moved further into the dungeon.
As they descended they discovered several alarm systems in place but passed them without alerting any Goblins. The party killed one stinky goblin and took his very smelly dice.
Further exploration revealed a room with five Goblin. After one Goblin was dispatched by Tho with a perfectly aimed dart to the eye, Giixaus intimidated the rest of the goblins into submission. After the goblins were tied up and some information on the rest of the Goblins was gathered, Gideon, brutally and slowly murdered them one by one. He took their ears and made a necklace.
The emotionally scarred players continued deep into the dungeon, they murdered a few soundly sleeping Goblins, and met the Goblin’s leader Urgh. After dispatching the leader they searched his quarters and discovered a letter from the King to the Golbins that uncovered the nefarious plot to kill the prince. They also discovered a secret passage that led to some very narrow and tunnels beneath the dungeon.
Following the tunnels they entered the barred off temple. Investigation of the temple revealed this was a temple to Ulaa, the goddess of gems and miners’ fortune. The party also discovered the chared corpse of a very large Goblin beside a lava pool.
Tho flavored 1 cubic foot of the lava to taste like bacon, but no one would eat it.
The party generally worried about being burnt to a crisp, left the lava room.
Continuing down the secret tunnel, they discovered a vault, after some pretty intense beating on the door they managed to break it. Within they discovered a series of gems and a warhammer of Ulaa which Giixaus claimed for himself.
Further exploration revealed the dusty high-priests room. WIthin they discovered a holy book of Ulaa, and a cyptic note about where the temple had been relocated.
Before exiting the temple they returned to the entrance and discovered there was a second wheel. The party managed to turn the wheels closing a portculis over the entrance and sealing the temple of Ulaa for the time being.
The party returned to the secret tunnels and followed one very long passage, up a tremendous flight of stairs and out a secret entrance.
Kings can be bitches too
The party returned to Prince Athlesan’s fort to recieve their reward and weaseled a bit more money out of him for proof his brother was trying to have him killed.
Athlestan sent the travelers to the main port city, and seat of this brother’s power, Hailing Cove. He instructed them to meet Ella at the Adventurous Camel.
At this point our adventurers spent some time leveling to 2, purchasing some gear at Fantasy Costco, and getting drunk at the bar.
Elunir fell under Ella’s thrall when he first met the Lyre playing Halfling in the Adventuring camel. Ella informed that Athelstan and she needed help investigating the castle and she had set up a plan to do so on the next day.
The party gained passage on an elderly mans boat, climbed a rope ladder over the castle walls and entered the main hall through a servants passage. Ella enchanted the guards to allow the party to invesigate the kings offices.
The team discovered a myriad of notes of varying importance and one coded notebook that suggested there was slave trade in Haling Cove. Slave trade the king was actively a part of.
After replacing everything, stealing some alcohol and refilling the bottle part way with water they left.
Ella advised them to enjoy the festival that night as she needed to speak to Athelstan and figure out what to do with the information.
The Harvest Festival
The party enjoyed a lot of drinking, game playing and general tom foolery at the festival.
- Tho got so drunk off the kings stolen alcohol he ended up wandering to the Fabulous Unicorn, the city’s only gay bar, and renting a small glitter soaked room there.
- Elunir tried to hit on some red headed elven chicks but ended up getting a bit too drunk and lost his nerve. He did get his face painted to look like he had flames for eyes and won a mad hatter hat from the ring toss game.
- Giixaus was challenged to a bet and lost. He then, as per the bet, got YOLO tattooed on his belly by a super muscly magical elven tattooist (Imagine the rock but an elf.)
- Pika won a rainbow ring from carnival games.
- Gideon, Pika and Giixaus hit on some women in the bouncy house. After sufficiently impressing them with their acrobatics and generally being a dragon they went home and got laid.
