Session 6: Bone Snake

The group began their travel back from Benedict Point after defeating the group of bandits there and destroying the outpost. They bring with them Delilah, still struggling after being love-potioned and charmed into leaving the camp, and Jasper, Billy's intern. They also have three new horses, ridden now by Abe, Elisen, and Billy.

The group stop to make camp for the evening, and discovered that they needed more rations to continue on their journey. Aggie, Abe, and Elisen went to try their hand at hunting, and after Aggie and Abe proved rather incapable of killing a sheep on their own, Elisen stepped in and used a magic sky laser to kill plenty of sheep for the journey home and then some. Returning back at camp, Delilah spoke to several members about her discomfort with the events of the Benedict Point massacre and being magically roofied, and Aggie continued to struggle with an affection towards the runaway.

The next day of travel, the group came across a large creature blocking the road. It proved to be a giant snake-like creature made entirely of bone. The group sprang into combat mode. Aggie handed the reins of the cart to Delilah and told her to run to safety, however the bone snake swiped at Delilah as she ran and knocked her off the cart and onto the ground. The group worked together to defeat the snake, and eventually it was Jasper that dealt the killing blow. Aggie and Maurice went to Delilah's side and found that Delilah did not survive the attack.

Aggie begged Maurice to do something, and he managed to use magic to pause the decay on her body while they could search for something to perhaps bring her back from the dead. They wrapped her body to keep it safe and stored it on the cart before continuing on the path to Tumbleweed.

In Tumbleweed, Aggie went to deliver the news about Delilah to her father. He showed nothing more than apathy at hearing about the death of his daughter. Aggie moved onto the saloon, and she convinced Brandy the saloon owner to store Delilah's body in a room there. She would have a full ten days before the spell on her would wear off, and in the meantime the group needed to continue their quest.

The group spent the night in Tumbleweed before heading off to Rathskellar Fork. On the way, the group came across a mysterious house with miscellaneous body parts in the basement. The rest of the house was decrepit but more or less empty of anything interesting. Aggie took a jar of teetrh and spilled them over the front door mat.

The following day, while the adventurers were travelling along the road they were greeted with a figure falling from the guy and straight to the ground, instantly killing him. Upon inspection, Elisen was able to report that this was of the race of dwarves from her home world and wearing the style of clothing appropriate there. The party gave him a burial.

The following day, the party rescued an old man trapped underneath a fallen tree. In gratitude, he gave Abe the Ring of Feather Fall.

They finally reached Rathskellar Fork, a desert town surrounded with sandstone walls. Inside the group finds a very large inn which comprises the majority of the town itself. There were some additional stables and a dry fountain. Gambling, drinking, and music abound, with women and men milling about.

Aggie bonded with Pouncival and calmed him after a small outurst, but noticed that he was definitely outgrowing his cage. She placed an order with the leatherworker in the town for a harness.
