SOTDL CAMPAIGN DIARY: N1 SESSION 2 - EXPLORING THE HUNTSMAN’S ISLE, 4/23/19

The Cast

• Brother Aron Waverly: Human priest of the New God
• Calista: Ferren rogue
• Nikolai  Petrechko: Human veteran (Warrior)
• Perry Flaxseed: Halfling hunter (Warrior)

After finding the likely source of the corruption that the spirit of Baron Stoceca asked them to find and cleanse the isle of, the heroes of our tale decide to explore the rest of Stoceca Isle to try and find a way to do that.  They spend time at the stone circle and find it badly weathered such that the ancient runes of the Old Faith that had once covered the stones were now barely visible.

The group move to the end of the isle where they find the ruins of the baron’s vassals, and while exploring they are harassed by several small, multi-armed creatures and are forced to leave the area.  They follow the trail to the northern shore where they find a boat recently moored to a dock and three beastmen fomor emerge from the nearby dilapidated boathouse and attack the group.  After a brief battle, the heroes defeat the fomor and find a few items in the boathouse before returning to the ruins of the baron’s keep.  

There they find that Lord Kornwall decided to do some exploring himself and left the relative safety of the keep to search the burial mounds for the baron’s family treasure.  There they got a vial of the Eitr water for Weezer without triggering the pool again.  They also find a capstone removed from one of the mounds where Kornwall entered and follow him down.  Below in the catacombs they encounter a tomb guardian that attacks them.  As they fight the undead protector of the Stoceca family, Brother Aron finds a large chamber with a strange symbol painted upon its surface and atop it a large monster that spots Aron and tries to get to him but is unable to get its bulk through the small opening.

The group manage to kill the guardian, Calista finds Lord Kornwall in a nearby room and another creature, a pale humanoid crawling along the ceiling, that pursues them.  Calista gets Kornwall to the others and Aron’s torchlight repulses the pursuing creature.

The group leave the catacombs and return to the keep.

End of session.
