Session Points
- Players finally meet Jade Regulus, the Knight Captain of Cenorias, and Rodfyr Regulus's only child
The Thieves' Guild
- I need to come up with some thieves guild stuff to put in here
- They turn in the gem, does anyone recognize it?
Downtime Begins
- No idea what Strix is doing still
- Nils looking to retrain with more bard-y skills
- Maybe meet a friendly merchant that teaches him to use his silver tongue? [Goldtongue]
Attack on Kaledorei
- The Pruushnak Clan pushed into the dragon nest north of Kaledorei and got pushed back
- Scarlet Circle was planning on helping them with this to get a shot at the dragon's horde, but they've retreated a bit and are regrouping
- They still want territory, so Kaledorei it is
- They come from the south, exploiting the weaker walls of the Warrens and the entrance gate to the west
- Once the players intervene, they have made it to the Wayfarer's Inn and are pushing up from the south
- Some of the guards run, but some do fight to defend the town, especially the ones near the gate
The Wayfarer's Inn
Fighting in front of the Inn, with the main gate in the background and some guards holding off more orcs.
- This is going to feature Therlin Goblinbane (female dwarf warrior 5)
- Environmental hazards?
The Graveyard
Players moving south toward the breach and the noise, come across a group of orcs that seem to be stopped.
- When they inspect closer, the orcs are breaking headstones and laughing about it
- If the players intervene, one picks up a broken headstone and whips it at a player's head, making a crude joke about a "head for a head"
- Large group, have Brick and Gash (from Session 7 - The Thieves Guild) join up with the fight when/if things start looking rough
The Warrens
Describe how the players fight toward the Warrens, passing by screaming townsfolk trying to escape in the opposite direction as they do, then they start getting pelted by orcs throwing shingles and scraps of wood beams at them from the rooftops
- Two waves, both pretty small, but the second one is larger than the first
- Second wave joins in once nearly all of the first wave is taken out, arriving from a nearby rooftop bridge
- The round after the second wave shows up, Jade Regulus also scales the building from the side and joins the players
- "Hope ya don't mind, but I'll be joining you folks for the moment!"
- looks at the rooftop near the players
- "Nice work, though!"
Repercussions
(might get shoved to next session & downtime gets moved up)
- Clearly the orcs got what was due, but the Torch is angry this happened in the first place
- If the town were better defended, the orcs would have had to enter through the main gates, and would have been dealt with before they could hurt citizens
- The noble in charge of town needs to pay
- He's clearly been enriching himself while the townspeople suffer
- Maybe he needs to be scared straight, maybe he needs to be replaced
Actual downtime
- Taking a breather after defending the town, there might be repercussions later, but now we celebrate!
- Wayfarer's Inn is probably doing free drinks and food for the adventurers
- How else should they be thanked?
- Anything Strix wants to do here?
- More Nils retraining
