The group had accepted Eren Marlow’s offer: 25 gold per person for safe delivery to Emberwood village, which is a sort of Boom-town and the last outpost of civilization outside the ruined city of Drakkenheim.
The group provided security and help along the journey, helping Marlow many times with positioning her wagon in a defensible spot, and keeping watch on the roads.
About a week and a half into the journey, as they began to turn north on Champion’s Way, a group of soiled bandits (poorly hidden) came out of the ditches along the road and crudely offered “Safe Passage” if they paid the toll.
The group decided to pay–with violence, and were able to make short work of the bandits, leaving several dead and letting a few of them flee off into the Horizon.
A few days later as they made camp, they were approached by three weary, seemingly unarmed travelers. They allowed them to share their campfire for the night to get some rest from the road.
- Ludwig von Gaff– A Human soiled noble that was just in Drakkenheim to reclaim the deed to his family’s ancestral estate, located in the ruins.
- Edra Jansen– a Human wearing damaged leathers that mentioned she was seeking gold.
- Rikard Vos– A man covered head to toe in a large leather cloak that seemed to shuffle about and did not speak a word.
They exchanged a few stories, and learned about the dangers of the city as these three were the only ones left in their own party. Shortly after, they all bedded down with members rotating watches throughout the night.
In the early hours of the morning, Rikard bolts up, shuffles over to Edra’s bedroll (closeby) and two large tentacles spring from the heavy cloak and slam down on Edra’s midsection with a sickening crunch. She screams. Session End.
