A long boat ride to China. Personal connections. Boys wrestling on the beach. Finding Rodger Carlyle a broken man. A new friend. Many potential new enemies.
An improbably birthday adventure. A meeting of new companions and a reunion of old friends. Exploration of the Tomb of the Sea Wolf King. Adventures in goblin persuasion!
Zzadrix, Hrovic, and Tirolas explored the burial chambers of Skorgalds sons (and betrayers). The discovered Bas, the former goblin leader devouring illusionary delights. Warhorns sounded as the Hobgoblin hunters arrived! The negotiated with sea nymphs to slay Garatha and found the Shrine to Thrune, and a magical Cloak of Sea Elvenkind!
The Dirt Barons patched themselves up after a difficult score. Paolo had a terrible day doing terrible things. Little Gallo got to be on his first score and take an alias "Viper!"
The Hall of the Honored was pilfered and the seer Agatha found, which led to Skorgald's horde! The company encountered Garatha, Skorgald's descendent who made a deal with them: find her the Axe of Nine Eyes, and they would be honored guests among the Nord!
Ixil, Lenk, Solveig, Zzadrix (and later Hrovic) continue to explore the tomb, narrowly escaping a sea nymph zombie, paralyzing jelly fish, the angry ghost of Gala, and most dangerous of all...the darkness!
But hope was not yet lost, for Atria still heard the song of the stars. And they followed that song right into an obsidian mirror and back out again...changed forever.
Fleeing the hobgoblin jailers down Amaranth River led the escapees to hidden sea caves. Goblin bandits tricked (and maybe befriended?), a choker evaded, and the tomb found. Our fugitives got to know each other as well!
