Game Master for this session was Charles Plemons.
The group began talking with Nada, the elderly goblin. Although somewhat confusing in his manner of speech, he was able to let them know about the Mirelord and its servants, a tribe of boggards and tribe of marsh giants. He also told them there are several half-dragon progeny leading the tribes. He let them know the general direction of the dragon’s cave. He also told them a group of humans had traveled through a few days earlier. They figured out it was the Scarlet Brotherhood, and they had headed north to a trio of serpent statues. Nada said after that, they were no longer in the swamp. The team debated if they should go to the dragon cave in pursuit of Aratheas or the statues in hopes of finding the wards for the Forbidden City disabled. The party rested at Nada’s and recovered spells. Helg cast scrying on Aratheas and saw her with boggards and marsh giants. The foes seemed to travel through some kind of portal at a sigil-inscribed stump by speaking some ritual and sprinkling it with their blood, taking Aratheas with them.
The group decided to head to the snake statues to make up time because it was only a few hours away, especially utilizing their flying cargo barge. They discovered a circular stone platform surrounded by stylized snake statues. Tracks, up to three dozen humans, lead up to the circle but disappeared. As they investigated, boggards, slurks, and a marsh giant rose up from the water!
The slurks spit their oily secretions over Hekera and Callum. The marshpiercer peppered the team with arrows. The fen marauder and croakbrute charged the team, impaling with spears. The boggard acidscale used a wand to activate haste on many of the team. It also cried havoc, causing the giant to advance and attack with its gaff. The giant then kicked mud in Helg’s eyes, forcing him to try and mop it out.
Finch began tripping foes while Hekera, Einar, and Hwrulf ripped into them with blades. Komorebi cast a shadow conjuration with minimal effect, and Callum’s empowered fireball was partially avoided and negated with magic. The team was struggling at first, but they quickly gained the upper hand with their superior abilities. The acidscale tried a yellow smoke spell (dispelled by Callum) and breathed acid. The giant hit as hard as expected but could not withstand the team’s combined attacks. Callum blasted away with Dalamar’s lightning lance and scorching ray. Helg cast a flame strike, and the warriors and barbarians of the group hacked and slashed with abandon.
Finch got hit and nearly killed, but Helg’s heal spell saved him. One-by-one enemies fell until only the party remained standing!
