Session Summary

Calamity! Ruin! Devestation!

As our courageous group of heroes prepared to leave the town of Reven to seek fortune and favor elsewhere, the Crafty Cabal of Kobold Cultists descended upon the unprepared town, raising forth a towering ziggurat that reached to the very stars themselves.

Despite protestations from the group that fleeing should be the first priority, Seek - the leader - stepped forward and declared 'NO!, we must save these poor souls. Rally to me heroes! Today we etch our legends in stone!'. Bolstered by his unwavering conviction, the group gathered their weapons and prepared to face what would be their most challenging foe yet.

With righteous purpose they descended upon the ziggurat, laying low the undead abominations that had already begun to crawl from it. Wave after wave the heroes felled, climbing every higher into the sky until Reven became little more than a speck beneath them. Unfortunately their climb would be cut short as a foul magic began to take form inside - at least until Seek, in a stroke of unmatched Genius, silenced the abhorrent mage with a single gesture.

Magic subdued, the group managed to battle their way into ziggurat, but a stray blow took the honorable Guthred unaware, and his bestial side unleashed itself. Hundreds, Thousands of undead crawled from the never ending catacombs beneath the reaching ziggurat, surrounding the group on all sides until surely they would overwhelm everything.

It was during this darkest hour that Seek knew he had to take decisive action lest his party be overcome by the decayed flesh that gnawed at them. Preparing to sacrifice himself so they could all escape, luck reigned in once again as the puppeteer of the undead horde succumbed to the masterful magics Seek had woven around the ziggurat, and the evil minions collapsed under their own weight.

Beaten and battered, but grateful for the masterful strategic arts which won them the day, the group turned to their stoic leader with a single question; 'What now?'. Without hesitation, Seek knew what needed to be done. With Reven safe, the vile necromancer laid low <scribbled in the margins are the words 'He's a necromancer, so he'll come back even though he was definitely killed by my magic> other cities needed the groups protection. Volunteering to scout ahead while the group gathered themselves, Seek rode into the sunset to ensure his companions had a safe path and camping ground for the night.

Yet all would not be peaceful, for tonight the full moon would rise. Time had run out, and Seek's closest friend may yet be the death of them all.

Recap

Reven, a town of endless possibilities, bolstered by the large farming community it harbors, proved to be one of our most challenging locales yet.

Upon arriving in the town, the corageous group of adventurers made their way swiftly to the city hall, happening upon the local steward of the town - known as Daydream - and proffering our services to help them with the grave robbing that had been happening over the past few weeks.

With time to spare until nightfall, the group set about taking care of some long overdue business. Purchasing a pair of fine steeds to replace the loyal but admittedly slow paced donkeys, the silver tongued leader of the group, Seek, sold the pair of well worn asses for a tidy sum of gold.

Afterwards, the group reconvened in the Anderian Star tavern, with Ashikaga pleading with the group leader to join him in a game of dice with the common man, which Seek graciously let his new found friend and subordinate Ashi win the lion’s share.

In another show of grace and compassion for his loyal followers, Seek purchased some fine company for the Adachi, the other brother, to help him ease his troubled mind and help him learn more of the ways of the world from someone more experienced.

With the deals struck, Ale purchased, and food consumed, the group held each other’s company in merriment for a time before venturing forth to the fated graveyard to confront whatever knave had been robbing the departed of their belongings and bodies.

With keen eyes and sharp wit, Seek was able to see that the graves had not been dug, but instead had been taken from below. After some shrewd negotiating by Ashi - a skill learned from his idol, Seek - the group was able to procure a shovel and put the brawn of Adachi to work excavating one of the open graves, revealing a complex series of tunnels below.

Guthred and Clover offered their lives to investigate, bringing back evidence of a Cabal of Kobalds who were carting off cadavers for what could only be nefarious and dark means. Knowing that such evil could not be left undisturbed, Seek bravely led the group down into the tunnels to fight back the thrifty thieves, eventually chasing them back to their lair deep underneath the town of Reven.

It’s here that tragedy struck. Adachi was careless, and a surprise attack from an enemy mage would surely have taken all their lives had Seek not valiantly threw himself infront of the blast, sparing his follower Adachi from a horrific fate.

Distraught by the sight of his fallen leader, Adachi drug Seek back out of the tunnels, the group racing to the nearby tavern, hearts full of worry and despair that their north star would be forever snuffed out.

Luckily, it would take more than foul magics to lay low Seek.

With overjoyed hearts the group reveled in a few rounds of ale, Adachi having his time with the mistress of the night, and the others eventually drifting away from the festivities to turn in for the night.

Eager for revenge, the group will not be easy to convince to leave dormant the sleeping evil beneath Reven, but it is for their own safety that Seek must think, and must rush them away from such horrific things before they foolishly throw their lives away, as endearing as the gesture is to reinforce their love for Seek.

Tomorrow, they will depart Reven, but even while they will put the town in their wake, the mantle of responsibility weighs heavy on Seek’s mind. The full moon comes, and with it, come dangers that none of the rest are prepared for.
