Campaign 2 Session 2

The party arrive at the meeting place that Ben had informed Magnus of. They take cover behind a near by outcropping of rocks while they wait for Lo' Kang. After a few hours of waiting Lo' Kang and two of his soldiers arrive with Ben unbound and walking along with them. A few moments later a strange demonic looking half orc arrives with a large party of fighters and thugs. Lo' Kang loudly greets the half orc as Bajock Bloodletter.

The two slaver chiefs talk for a brief time before a third party arrives, a man Lo' Kang describes as his best buyer. A strange orange carriage with a purple roof slowly rolls into view. Out of this vibrant wagon a tall thin elf steps out wearing a well worn purple travel cloak with a bright orange shirt poking through the opening of the cloak. As soon as Magnus sees this elf and his wagon he sees the opportunity to free Ben as plain as day. Magnus suggests to the group that they should steal this elf's wagon and flee as fast as they can.

The group begins positioning themselves around the wagon and attempting to get Ben's attention. When the moment seemed just right they sprang into action, with Liv and Cai jumping into the driver's seat, Ari and Bart opening the wagon door and climbing inside, while Magnus took up the rear reaching out for Ben. Just before the group managed to swoop onto the wagon the strange elf made eye contact with Ari and at the very last moment he grabbed the reigns of the horse and threw himself onto its back, seeming going along for the ride.

The group raced away, with Lo' Kang not having any interest in giving chase. Bajock on the other hand had every intention of not letting his payday go. He raced after the group on his large and oddly very fast horse, quickly making ground on the party. The decision is made to turn and fight the lone pursuer.

The party halts the wagon and attacks Bajock, but quickly finds that this one man is worth a dozen. He easily holds his own against the group, eventually getting Cai within his grasp. He gives the group an ultimatum, give him Ben or he kills Cai. The party hesitates longer than Bajock likes, and with a single hand snaps Cai's neck. The party race toward Bajock and the lifeless body of Cai in the wagon and manage to scoop up her body as they flee.

The elf now introduces himself as Nayon, and explains that if they have time to stop in a grassy area he should be able to help breathe life back into Cai.

The group stops and Nayon and Magnus make their way to a small clearing on the mountain side. They lay Cai down and Nayon, with Liv's help begin drawing a small circle of runes around her body. Nayon says a few words and vines begin to sprout from the ground, wrapping themselves around Cai's neck. The vines reset her neck into its proper place, Nayon continues to speak. The vines finally resend back into the earth and Cai sits bolt upright.

This delay has given Lo' Kang an opportunity to catch up to the group. They quickly load back into the wagon and begin making their way toward the mine that Delos had told Ben about. As they race toward it they pass 5 goliath stones along the path, but they press on. Lo' Kang stops his pursuit when he sees the stones.
