I Hate Nobles, Nobles Who Abuse their Wealth and Power even more so.
After the Events with The Honey Queen and Cheated out of Our pay (I should Have known better) My Crew Decided to Take the Niña Lyla back to her Village. When We go there every Adult in the village was dead with wierd puncture wounds on their arms. I Being the Heroic Figure that I am Decided to investigate all the houses to find out What Happened and if what ever wealth finds its way into my pocket all the better. The dead don't need gold and we might be able to use it down the line. The party is so Lucky to Have such a caring individual in their team. Eluine eventually found small tracks belonging to children that led into the forest. We decided to follow but before that we decided on a funeral for the dead inhabitants of the village. I joined...eventually.
We followed the tracks and after an uneventful nights sleep we ran into some shadow fey and led by the beautiful Suzenga. I don't remember much of what was discussed (Something about unwelcome trespassers that the forest wants dead or something) because I was too enamored with Suzenga and I caught her eye a few times and I knew She wanted me too but was playing hard to get. Oh if only the beautiful Señoritas of this world didn't have to play this game with me all the time the world would be a far better place, but that's ok. I love the Chase! I love the Challenge! All was going Well I almost managed to score a Date with the fair Suzenga but then she Asked me to swear an oath. At that point most of my interest flew out the ventana. I do not need to swear an oath to save chidren! Some of my more foolish Compatriots Swore the oath and The fey Left, but I caught Suzenga eye one last time and gave her a wink. She'll Come around.
We continued on our way when an owl bear ambushed us. I was in the lead but it was my companions fault for making noise. Naturally it was me that finally put the beast down. A tree unfurled and Spilled out the missing children. One of them an older one offered us some gold to take them to the nearest town and more so when They arrived. I walked over to her wrapped my hand around her hand and closed it over the gold. I was an Orphan too and though I liked gold I do not have the Heart to take it from these children. They are going to need it more than I do. It was at this moment that all my memories growing up in an orphanage flashed before my eyes and I swore I was going to look out for these orphans. More Importantly I swore that they will have justice or They will be Avenged, I will deliver it.
We Arrived at Wheedon Village and lo and behold the bastardo was right there. The responsible for all the deaths, the one responsible for all these orphans. There was Only one course of Action. I ran Straight for the Hijo de Puta and Stabbed him straight at the verga to make it as absolutely as painful as possible. Oh the Suffering in his eyes at that moment I wish I could Bathe in it. The coward got behind his thugs and I tried to follow but his thugs beat me senseless. I came to and to my dismay my companions held me back and struck a bargain with the Noble. I Felt betrayed. Instead of Helping me kill this Villain they were going to help him escape! They told me that the time to kill him will come but I have my doubts, How can I trust these people who did not have my back. Only after awhile did I realize that the noble had the some of the villages under his spell and some were on the floor dead as they had their life forces drained form them just so that low life could keep living. I payed for the rooms of my compatriots that night and I snuck up the highest tree to rest and keep an eye on the village.
The morning was a blur. I was too angry at the noble, at my companions, at myself for not being able to kill him right then and there. We came upon a river and on the island in the middle of it lies the first plant that the noble required to escape the forest. Apparently we were being followed. I sneaked into the forest and caught the conversation between lavaell anf the fey and they were going to help us. That's good news at least. We finally managed to get to the island and found some highly aggressive frogs. I climbed a tree for they were making me nervous. One of my Compatriots Stepped on one and they all exploded damaging some of us but we managed to get the first plant
But I don't care about any of this. Ever since that encounter with Eagehrt all I can think About Was his Blood Covering my Claws and Fangs. His Still Beating heart in my hand, Having ripped it out of his Chest. There will be a day of reckoning my friend and I will make sure of it.
Finding the second Plant was still a blur. I remember a Chamber where we fought a bunch of skeletons who tried to drain our life force by forcing us to touch bone pillars. We found the plant simply left. The third plant was the easiest we simply asked the shadow fey who were guarding it and they gave it to us. On the way back to the village I tried to look for poisonous plants or animals to use against Eagehrt but I saw none.
We got back to Wheedon Village and Handed our plants to Eagehrt. Oh it took all myself control to not Skewer the smug Bastard then and there. He made show of handing us the Supposed Blood rings before leaving. I wanted to pursue him Immediately but some of the party was reluctant Lavell argued that he was too powerful (Apparently the Margrave sent him a dream of the battle he has with Suzengas Group), Dodgy said he didn't want to risk the Villagers. I couldn't believe the we were just going to let the Hijo de Puta Escape the forest without paying for his crimes. The deciding factor was when we talked to Chairo about Eagehrt she said that he broke his oath as He left the village and that we were fooled. I argued that people like him only see those bellow him as less than people, only fit to be his play things and experiments and if we don't end him there will be more deaths, more orphans and more Villages wiped out. That made the parties minds quickly and we decided to pursue him and Kill him to make him pay for Being an oath Breaker and Just General Pendejo.
Before We left the village I Pulled Chairo Aside for a talk. I asked how the children were doing and I told her how I was also an orphan and how hard my childhood was having no parents but I at least had my friends. That their lives growing up now is going to be a lot harder but at least they had each other and they had to look out for each other at this point. I thanked Chairo for looking out for little once and before I left her I gave her a Pouch of a 100 gold pieces to be used for whet ever the orphans may need. She Thanked me, Pulled me close to touch our foreheads together, I gave her a kiss on the forehead and then leave her to punish the Pendejo Who did all this.
On our way to Eagehrt camp we came up with a plan to steal his arcane focus and blood rings as they sleep before we actually engage. It fell up to me do this (I mean c'mon who else is there). We found their camp in the middle of the night and most of them were asleep exempt for one guard who was keeping watch. Dodgy Seemed to know the guard and Thinks he could lure him away from the camp. He Managed to do so and I begin my mission. I first sneaked into the camp with no problem, then I went into Eagehrts tent, I managed to grab his wand away from his sleeping form but then came the hard part, getting the blood ring off his finger. I gently grabbed his hand raise it into my mouth and bit the ring and pulled it out off his finger (I pray nobody noticed). I then exited the tent after that proceeded to take the rings off the hands off the sleeping guards, Then their shields, then their weapons. I met Up with rest of the group and handed them the items that I stole, asking one of the Erinas to bury them somewhere.
We then proceeded to surround the camp and Announce our Presence Lavell Taking the lead. Eagehrt came out of tent and glared at us. We offered a deal with the guards strip and go into the forest surrendering themselves to the margrave and we let them leave, they agreed. Dodgy said something to Eagehrt and Eagehrt noded went back into his tenr grabbed a whip and proceeded to beat his guards with it. We engaged after that. Eagehrt did something that made him look terrifying but Suzenga and her Group appeared and peppered Eagehrt with Arrows putting him down. I then Proceeded to Claw and rip his face and head apart, letting all my rage and frustration out. Eagehrt Was dead. Justice was served.
We went back to the Village. I talked to the merchant there to see if I can get a good price for some Items I found Days ago. I didn't get a good price so I didn't sell them. The merchant directed me to Hazel a centaur as she might be able to Identify an Unknown potion I also found days ago. She Identified it as a Potion of The porcupine. Before we Left the Village to go back to Levoca and to Mother Malvor for our pay, I found Chairo to talk to ask her how the children where doing and that Eagehrt was slain. I was glad to hear the children where doing great and adjusting to their new lives. I thanked her and asked her to continue looking after the children for me and that I will be Dropping in then and again to check how they were doing. And with that one wrong is finally set right.
After That we Proceeded back into the forest to get our pay and towards the next adventure...
