Team MeFight Eleventh Session
17 January 2010
Our intrepid band settled its last business in Kred, then bid a fond farewell to the place that had, for a short while, been their home. Zeal said his goodbyes, with regrets, and indicated that he hoped to see them again someday. Kib acquired provisions for the trip (detailed below), and a Goblin slave by the name of Gnob.
Setting out, the travel routine once again asserts itself. On the first night, shuffling noises roused Kib from slumber. Thed, upon inspection, discovered a large bear in a tree, cracking open a beehive to get at its succulent treasures. Before Thed can back away, the bear, frustrated, knocked the hive from its perch, causing it to burst open on the ground below. Thinking quickly, Thed dowsed the hive in water, stunning most of the bees, but was soon engulfed in the swarm. The rest of the party scrambled to get together and make haste, away. The bear, on the other hand, was content to ignore their antics, and instead feasted on the honey for which he had worked.
Gnob took the opportunity to attempt to escape, but found himself unable to mount a horse before being halted by Kib, who had broken down camp and pulled Thed from the depths of the swarm.
The party fled, leaving the bear and bees to themselves. Little else happened for the next few days--Kib did his best to put the Goblin at ease and learn his language, Thed busied himself with the Masked Gnome's correspondence, and the rest carried on in their own fashions.
A few days later, they encountered a band of Halflings. Sharing bread with the haggard bunch, they were told of hardships on the road West, and some of Draglet's woes, involving Kobold troubles similar to Kred's, as well as a plague that had been sweeping through the city, killing its inhabitants indiscriminately. The party accepted the news, unwavering in the resolve to carry out their original purpose.
Days more passed, until the party finally reached a habitation. It was a farmstead, devoid of activity, and it is there they will be when the story continues.
Stuff acquired in Kred with cashola:
Livestock:
- Two ponies (yet unnamed)
- One Fresian light warhorse, Tenpence
"Indentured Servants":
- One Goblin, Gnob. Kib's objective is to learn Goblin, then set Gnob free.
Stuffed into the Bag of Holding as general party provisions (and carried by Thoven):
- 10 torches
- 50' hempen rope (Kib's old rope)
- 1 Healer's Kit
- Climber's Kit
- 10 gp worth of fairly imperishable food
- A potion of Cure Light Wounds
Thed:
- Masterwork Thieves' Toolkit
- Masterwork buckler
- Some convenient number of MW bolts
- A wand of Cure Light Wounds (50 charges, one used during the trip in the following weeks)
- A potion of Cure Light Wounds
- A potion of Cure Light Wounds
- A small masterwork mithril breastplate
- A potion of Cure Moderate Wounds
Kib:
- A masterwork steel breastplate
- A potion of Cure Moderate Wounds
- 50' of silken rope
- A grappling hook
- 1 Healer's kit (2 charges used during trip, on Thed's bee stings)
The party members each have 150 gp, 10 sp and 10 cp in their possession after the purchases. Kib has 10 of that in Wydmoor electrum, and also carries Gilerl's share, since the Gnome has shown little interest in carrying around cash.
Experience:
- 105 for the bees and bear
- 300 for Thed's quick water action (IIRC)
- 110 for general end-of-session
