On a Blade's Edge

## 1: 4/9/17: Lvl 9

The group started with
a flashback for gathering the crew. It started with Corvin in his wooden
structure in the Weyrloc with Ren meeting him. Then Zelaia met Ren on a creaky
wooden ship in the middle ocean. After, Vallo was acting as his alter ego,
named Vinlo, in Ravenholm which Ren met him after his performance. Also, Sjord
met Ren on the docks of Ravenholm after conversing with the Dwarves there. Then,
Morala met Ren in a tavern in Ravenholm as well. Finally, everyone reconvened
in special operations headquarters to learn about a slaver who was captured in
a privatized prison in blackwater park. The group planned to stealthy
infiltrate the area and painted themselves with facepaint and camouflage. As
the group came in, Vallo teleported to the top of the cliff holding the prison
which started a chain reaction of guards coming to fight the group. After
failing to persuade the guards of Hobgoblins, the group continued to fight.

## 2: 4/23/17: Lvl 9

As the fight raged on,
the group let a wounded guard in who rang the alarm. The group then fought some
animate armor and ambushes from guards, the group almost died. In addition,
they met the captain and chose to fight them. Vallo went down many times, and
the group was split. As the group slowly caught up and lived through the
encounters and tower guards, the hobgoblin captain was captured with the help
of Ren.

## 3: 4/30/17: Lvl 9

After talking a bit
with the captain, the group learned of some torturers in the tower above them
in the prison. The group decided to smoke out the torturers by starting a large
fire in the tower and letting the smoke rise to the upper levels. The group
waited as they heard footsteps run past. As the group ran up, they checked
every room quickly but could not find Adelphore Barnabus. It wasn’t until they
got into a room with covered cages did they start looking for Barnabus. They
found many dead bodies, a chest, and an owlbear who bursted out of its cage. As
the group was falling unconscious left and right by inhaling smoke, they
managed to get out and convince the owlbear to leave with them. As the group
sailed back, they debriefed and learned of their next mission to meet the
Fellowship of the Magi. Oh, and they dropped off the owlbear (named Brachus)
and went to Ravenholm. Then the group decided to go shopping and including
buying a cart.

## 4: 5/7/17: Lvl 9

Starting the next day,
the group did some more shopping for armor, poison potions, brass knuckles,
training with a dwarf, and other things. As the group headed towards the
Elysian river valley. On their way the ran into a burning farm shack in the
middle of the forest. As the group ran in 47/they found a ram tied in the barn.
After trying to control it and put out the burning building, the group
eventually managed to control the ram. It seemed as the barn was recently
ransacked by some group of people. After taking a few more day, they made it to
the Elysian river valley and asked for the Corville estate where the Fellowship
of the Magi were staying. As the group came in, they met an elf by the name of
Lorrie who showed them around and offered them tea. They stayed to meet with 2
other mages by the name of manameldiel and Tobias. Lorrie stated she did not
know what Johanna’s task was but they were to meet her.

## 5: 5/21/17: Lvl 10

As the group walked up
the stairs, they were met with a woman in black robes in the art room of the
Crovin estate. Careful to not wake her husband, the group moved an apparatuses
holding magical objects called hologlass. Then the group learned their mission
was to buy some more of this hologlass form a buyer who would arrive in the
town of Patsy. As the group made their way over, the were met by a small town.
After drinking, and observing the area the group took the night in. The next
day, the were met by 3 people with a gold coin necklace who offer way more
money than the group was prepared for. After using personal funds to pay for
the hologlass, the group explored the town a bit. After discovering that their
Ram was no longer chained up, they found him staring at some horse than he
apparently knew. After trying to identify the horse’s owners they had realized
they had failed and made their way back to Johanna’s. After delivering the
glass and talking to Lorrie some more, the group headed back to Ravenholm. But
that is when they were met with some mercenaries shaking down a traveler on the
road.

## 6: 5/28/17: Lvl 10

After picking a fight
with the mercenaries, they revealed themselves to be the Blackhand, Lord
Drakelbane’s mercenaries. After fighting and almost perishing, the group found
a map that was discovered to be a devil summoning circle. After going back to
town, the group debriefed and learned about Lorrie’s request to investigate the
ruins of a long dead mage named Calicus for any sort of writings that could be
found. Then the group learned they were needed back in special operations in a
week. After some shopping, the group decided to peruse Lorrie’s request and
head towards the Frost Crown Peaks. They hoped on an airship for the first time
and tried their best to navigate to the right area. After figuring out the
puzzle for the door, the group slipped in.

## 7: 6/4/17: Lvl10

As the group walked
into the main chamber, the party saw a crystal held inside a pedestal and 2
flameskulls. A goliath wandering in the mountains heard explosions and came to
aid. After the fight, the group took a short rest and decided to continue into
the ruins. As the group ventured further, they completely decimated a giant
stone golem blocking their path. After looting the area, they learned Calicus
was heavily invested in teleportation magic. The group had to walk back to the
Corville Estate and talk with Lorrie about the reward. After having separate conversations
with Lorrie: including scrying, and artifact talk.

## 8: 6/11/17: Lvl 10

After the group walked
out of the Corville estate, the group was met with Ren. He informed them that
the map they had taken from Drakelbane’s men was given back to Drakelbane, in
return, the Lord had given an invitation to dinner. Otherwise the group needed
to go to shikoku to watch over Hilde, the anti slave trade activist. The group
decided to take the invitation and head to Stirlingshire. As the group walked
around for a bit, they found Lord Drakelbane’s estate. They learned he would be
transferring power to another person and they wanted to talk to him before he
disappeared. After meeting him in his music room, the group was met with an
older human man playing the piano. He wished them well and asked about their
weapons, displaying his wall of weapons that he had obtained as gifts over the
years. After taking Sjord’s sword, Drakelbane plunged the sword into his own
stomach and called the guards on the party. After he ran out the room, the door
to the room was covered with tentacles created by their new goliath friend. The
group decided to jump out of the window and run while pretending to be part of
the blackhand. As the group escaped, they realized they had left their cart and
prized ram behind.

## 9: 6/18/17: Lvl 10

The group decided to
split up at the beginning and have Corvin and Sjord sneak into the Stirlingshire.
They opt to swing around the south side of the city and go up the walls. The
group jumped into the tavern and inn district of the city and asked around about
where the stables would be. After hearing being told, the infiltration group
stated at the inn for the night. In the morning, the group checked the stables disguised
as a guard. They got out with Klond at least with a  forged stuff from Drakelbane letter. After
the group had a bar fight for fun in the afternoon after some heavy drinking
and sunshine. Also the group prepped and inquired about a sword’s magical
properties. It was then group decided to saddle up and head to find Hilde and
see if she was alright.

## 10: 7/9/17: Lvl 10

After the group had
arrived they spent their time scouting out the house of Hilde they scouted it
out. Sjord got close and relayed a lot of things that occurred in the house. After
spending some time strategizing the group saw the off load of materials, and
Hilde pull out a backpack. Then the group watched a large flock of manticores
come and rip many of the guards to shreds. With some covert shots, the group
managed to take out some manticores and drive them away. The group then watched
some Ravenholm guards come by and make Hidle come to the door but not much else
came from that. Then the group saw Hilde put on the backpack and disappear for
about 10 minutes. That’s when the group decided to start to look around and
eventually Sjord saw many darkly dressed assassins pouring lantern oil all over
the inside of the house. A fight ensued and the ninjas tried to escape. The
party managed to pick many off one by one until 3 remained.
