Session 8: Travel Stories

In Rathskellar Fork, the group prepared to set off to travel back to Tumbleweed and onwards to Armadillo.

Before heading off, Aggie found a man from the city of Saint Denis who was interested in purchasing Pouncival's now-too-small cage. He showed sexual interest in Aggie which helped her in getting a good deal for the cage, though she declined the sexual advances. The group left Rathskellar Fork.

Along their travels, they passed a shady-looking merchant who was heading to Ratherskellar Fork. They decided that they had neither the patience nor the resources in that moment to bother interacting, so they just avoided him and let him pass.

The following day, they discovered that their road was being blocked by a large and stubborn cow. As Aggie was driving the wagon at the front of the convoy, she was the first to confront the cow directly. Yelling, shoving, and hitting the cow were not enough to get it to move, so Aggie decided to try spooking the cow with a little bit of fire. Aggie miscalculated, and so she ended up incinerating the cow. On the plus side, the road was clear and they had an extra supply of beef rations.

On their final day of travel, the group had to pass the house they had found on the way to Rathskellar Fork that they had discovered full of body parts. The group investigated to see if anything had changed and discovered that the teeth on the front step had been disturbed. They decided to split up to look further: Maurice and Elisen stayed with the wagon, Abe went in the front door, Billy climbed up to the second floor, and Aggie found a cellar door into the basement. Upstairs, Billy found a few small items but not much of import, and same thing on the main floor. In the basement, Aggie discovered a note on the floor: "*The game is on*."

When Aggie picked up the note, it spawned a giant floating eyeball that promptly started shooting magical attacks towards Aggie. She was saved by Jasper who ran in behind her, and soon the remaining members followed in as well and were able to defeat the floating eye. Aggie picked herself off the floor and wrote in the blood of the eyeball across the floor: "*What now, bitch?*" She then went into the main living room of the house and trashed the place. Now inside the house, Elisen found a mark on the living room floor hidden under the rug, and determined it to be a teleportation sigil. Aggie declared the owner of this house her nemesis.

And they eventually made their way back to Tumbleweed. There, they discovered that the gunsmith, Delilah's father, had packed up his shop and left town. Since Delilah would begin to decompose again in a matter of days unless she had another application of the freezing spell and because it was too far to travel to Armadillo and back in time, Aggie pleaded with the group to help her find a way to transport the body with them to Armadillo. Aggie went in search of a coffin that she could take on the wagon, but her attempts were unsuccessful and they ended up just wrapping Delilah's body in a bedroll. With that being the last of the business in Tumbleweed for the time being, the group set off to Armadillo.

On the way out of town, the group ran into an elven merchant named Caŕlos. He was clearly not from this world, and he was selling expensive but potent health potions. The group purchased a selection of potions, and Elisen bonded with Caŕlos.

The group came across some singing nuns, but largely left them alone.

On the third day of travel, the group was hit by a large sandstorm. However, despite the exhaustion caused by the storm and the delays to travel, the group successfully arrived in Armadillo.
