Session 15: Some Really Nasty Fellows

November 21, 2021

Prompt:  Habits


What is a habit that your traveling companions would have noticed about you during your time together that you haven’t made explicit?


·         When Valon enters a new space, he chooses a place with a good view of entrances and exists.


·         In the evenings, Searos glows like a small campfire.  His traveling companions find themselves scooching away from his radiant heat.


·         While brushing Krik and Krak, Harvey sometimes brushes himself, too.


·         When Paws goes to sleep, she curls up very close to the fire, or next to a trusted friend (usually Kas).


·         When Kas disguises herself magically when entering a new time, she likes to make her eyes appear purple.


The Journey So Far…


·         After Valon comes back to himself and Searos finds his way to part of the group, the party considers the chamber of trapped miners further:  Valon removes the short sword embedded in one group of remains, and Searos turns over the earth, creating a series of shallow graves for the long-neglected dead.  This practice peaks Kas’s interest.


·         Harvey returns from opening the mine’s main entrance, but the group decides to return to Llorkh overland.  As they approach, they hear the urgent tolling of the meeting house bell, a commotion, and howls that peal across the foothills.  Rushing back, they find the town’s remaining residents besieged by werefolk, Hatchath leading the defense as her silvered scimitar gleams under the starlight.


·         The party, drained from their fight with the Zhentarim tunneller, manages to defeat the werefolk, but sustained their share of bites and scratches.  The townsfolk faired worse, losing two of their number.  The old man at the inn, who heckled Llorkh’s resident huckster, was the first to fall, torn apart by a werewolf at the beginning of the fray.  An unfamiliar woman fell next, as her neighbor tried to extract her from the thick of combat even after she had collapsed.


·         As Hatchath, exhausted, grieves Valon stalks off in frustration at the devastation he suggests was wrought by the Llorkhan’s own making.  As Valon departs, Kas emerges from her protective clot of darkness to feel a stirring as the celestial she carries stretches and wakes with a wide, trumpeting yawn.
