2009 Adventure Recap

Party returned to Kaiyville on last adventure, Wood Wardens left to assault those that attacked the village, who were repelled. The Woodwardens were slain in battle. Bobby the messenger returns with the info. Party flees with everyone left alive leaves heading south and east to the White Keep at which point Alleanan reveals that he is from Alabaster City and that he knows the royal family, and maybe he can help out. This connections helps Aleanan grant access to Balim to the party, which brings us to where we are today.

Balim offered to teleport the party to the Temple, when they were ready. The party felt they wanted Barak there with them, when they finally decided to assualt the temple.

After waiting a few days for Barak to arrive, it was finally time for the assault. Balim got everyone into his TeleChamber and sent the party to a forrested region, that soon was determined to an area very near where they wanted to arrive (This was good news).

The party stumbled upon a battlefield of dead. This soon became clear that this was the place the Wood Wardens had fallen. The decapitated heads of their fallen comrades could be seen from a distance on the end of spears stuck into the ground. Karl Micha, leader of the Kaiyville militia, Rico Suave, Dwayne Dwoonberry, and others, known very well by each of the party members. (Courage check needed). It is at this moment that the party realizes that the scene is very quiet. It is silent, so very silent. The smell of death and decay wafts thru the air. Even the grass and the bushes seem to be dying. The wind trails off as well. This is where we begin.

Adventure began with party arriving at the site of the Massacre and some immediately began to get sick and turn their head, before Alura stepped up and called for everyone to be brave, for Dol Arrah was with them on that day.

The party had concerns with the strange writing on the sign posted with decapitated heads, which read, "something, something something kill these fools".

It was around this time, Alleanan spotted a smoke plume a little more then a quarter mile to the north of the massacre. The party began to move to investigate. Lorelei, Alleanan and Savanah moved ahead of the rest of the party, while Alura, Par and Broodur hung back. As they got closer, Alleanan and Savanah sprang several crude trapped, and Lorelei charged thru the warnings and fell into a long pit trap with spikes. She was in much pain. Serveral Climb checks and several failed attempts later she was pulled from the pit with a rope. The party eventually found the plume of smoke to belong to the campfire of Youklis the Bard and his dog "Spot" He offered up his Bat Stew, and his camp to the party. He spoke of the Minstrel Renard in a bad way. He sang, and other joined in with their own music along the way.

He also told the party of what he knew of the temple of ZAK, the Thoon, and the farmer Swift some miles from his camp. The party met up with Renard, and sent him on his way, shoeless, but with a healed mule. They came across the Swift farm, took out the 25 strong goblin force attacking the home, and defeated the goblins rather easily. Farmer Swift offered the party horses, food/sheep a place to sleep, and his daughter Esrelda as a guide. The party...led by Esrelda found the secret entrance to the Kraven's Keep (Loft) thru an underground entrance.

Par used his bag of tricks to bring forth animals to test the floor of the cavern, so as to keep everyone alive as long as possible. At the far end of the corridor their stood a creature...
