Session 2

Session 3 – It’s dark and there are spiders

* The group all re materialize in a darkish room that is darkish has 4 pillars and the teleportation circle and is full of webs and spider swarms that immediately start attacking. Rei still has not appeared.
* After a fun surprise round Rei appeared and so did a couple of giant spiders. Toward the end there were 3 giant spiders and 4 swarms, the party had mostly taken down everything when a giant spider attacking Prim took her down, but then Rei and Tetzo took it down.
* Tetzo healed Prim a bit so she was on her feet.
* The group then decided to continue out the door, which turned out to be concealed in the back of a wardrobe in what appears to be a servant quarters.
* Tetzo headed right to the door and there was another giant spider in the hall way. Prim and Thiana checked out the foot lockers in the room and found some old clothing and a couple of gold. Rei went through to check out the spider.
* Rei and Tetzo engaged the giant spider, Thiana headed up the hall and checked out the room that was up and across the hall.
* After finding very little in the rooms which also appear to be servant quarters, Prim sends Harry out to take a look and cast help on Rei. Thiana stepped into the hallway and took a few shots at the spider.
* Tetzo and Rei are owning the giant spider when from the other end of the hall they hear something.
* The giant spider goes down, as the group sees another giant spider and 3 swarms emerging from the ceiling. Rei and Tetzo head down the hall to meet this new foe. Thiana started shooting at the new spiders. Prim hid in the dorm room she was in.
* Rei is soaking damage and is below ½ health, he needs to start making wisdom saves against blood rage. So-far-so-good.
* Then with 2 swarms down the group hears another giant spider and three swarms coming from the ceiling above where the first hallway spider came through, Rei turns back to help with the new spider as does Thiana.
* After several lucky hits most of the new spiders are down but Tetzo is still fighting the giant spider at the other end. At which point Rei misses a saving throws and attacks Thiana. Prim is still having Harry cast help on Rei and staying out of the fight.
* Rei heads down the hall to “help” Tetzo with the last spider and fails another throw and takes Tetzo down then he takes down the last spider.
* Then Rei healed Tetzo, least he could do.
* The group heads to the stairs and finds the door at the top locked, the lock has a blue stone, dun, dun, dun.

Session 3 – Where did you say we are?

* How very lucky that the last key the group has is the one with the blue stone. They open the door.
* On the other side there are several guards, because weird noises behind locked door.
* Captain Heston pushes his way through to the group and asks where heck they came from? Tetzo gruffly explains about the teleportation circle, that they came from a cave in the Mandrake Islands, the spiders and the door and the key. He confiscates the key and informs the group that they are at Ramley’s Retreat on Demlan.
* Captain Heston then leaves and a wizard named Cogswright approaches Prim to ask if she wants healing and about the teleportation circle. The group heads up to a converted grand bedroom that is functioning as an infirmary. The group gets a decent amount of healing. Anna Heston directs Thiana to a B&B at the brewer Lecka’s house. She heads there to go to bed.
* Rei and Tetzo head out to hunt. They are warned against going too far into the woods as there are ents. This fascinates Tetzo. Rei and Tetzo do catch a badger. They head to Lecka’s place and are directed to the back shed where they can butcher the badger.
* After healing Prim asks and is directed to the library where she finds some records. She finds:
	+ During the king’s war 500ish years ago Lord Ramley came to Demlan on Lord Ambrose’s side. He sent Sir John Fellendar and his brother Dennis north with the Queen.
	+ He sent Sir Braymore northwest to keep watch for the king’s ships.
	+ Several months later Sir Vilaman managed to land to the east of Ramley’s position and headed northeast.
	+ About 150ish years ago a man appeared at Ramley’s Retreat but didn’t arrive on a boat and was not known previously on Demlan. He escaped custody and is said to have headed northwest.
* Prim then headed to the local tavern, The Broken Plow, where she eats and grabs some ale. She notices a group who are gambling in the corner and who, even though it is late, seem very energetic. They offer her some Scarlet Bovine which she refuses politely. She then headed to Lecka’s house and grabs a bed.
* Tetzo manages not to sleep under any of his team mates.
* The next morning they find a huge spread in Lecka’s kitchen where she feeds them an unreasonable amount of food. Tetzo and Rei reveal that Tetzo would like to go and visit the nearest ent who is three days travel to the north west. They have one hour to shop or Tetzo will leave them behind.
* The party went to the apothecary, for healing potions, the general store for rations Prim picked up a small cask of Scarlet Bovine and the armory to get arrows. Tetzo negotiated to get a cart and two horses.
* The team headed northwest, on day three they went past a farm and guided Tetzo they located the ent. He asked about the artifacts or any magical disturbances in the area. It indicated that there is something on the island to the northeast, something headed through a while ago going northwest and there is always the presence to the south. And many distant things to the west.
* The group heads back to the farm they past, they are allowed to stay in the barn for the night and are fed. The farmer tells then there is a small port that has a boat launch to go to The Eye.

Session 3 – Just keep the horses until we return… No.

* The team heads up to the main road, heads to the crossroads and heads north.
* They arrive in the evening and the boat man allows them to sleep in the stable.
* He agrees to give them a special boat to cross to The Eye and warns them that a regular boat will dissolve very fast as the water around there is acid.
* He agrees to keep the horses for up to 10 days but will not agree to keep them until they return. Fox teams do not return. They head out.
* After 12+hrs of rowing the boat does start to dissolve. It’s also massively foggy, but they can see the shore. With some good luck they manage to get to land before the boat dissolves.
* Rei, Prim and Thiana create a shelter and Tetzo went to sleep. Thiana curled up in the shelter to be miserable and Rei and Prim headed out into the fog to explore. They found a massive tower, they head back to camp/bed.
* Everybody levels up to level 4.
