Session 15 - Tymora's Tits (recap)

In this session, our party explored Greenest and destroyed some Bugbears…

  • The party visited Greenest Keep and met both Castellan Escobert the Red and Governor Tarbaw Nighthill.
  • They learned that
  • After an offer of 100gp per head of the bandits (and the lending of some mounts and a cart), the Luters committed to investigate.
    • On the paths to the southwest of the keep, the Luters noticed wanted posters, appealing to bounty hunters keen to earn a bit of coin.
  • Aegar visited Anvil Works Blacksmith and Gruffo Riverhopper the blacksmith. Aegar traded his set of plate mail for a more fitting set. 300gp (1/2 before) earned a commitment to have the new mail properly fitted in 3 days.
  • Pliny and Zoyana visited The Hurling Heffer to investigate the presense of a halfling.
    • The sign swinging over the doorway was a grossly obese man in a loincloth puking, and a couple of broken steps lead down to a dirt floor.
    • Standing in a the middle of the room was a runty halfling. As they walked in, the halfling looked up, a murderous gleam in his eyes as he licked his bloody knife clean. He bowed sardonically … “Welcome to The Hurling Heffer m’lords.”
    • Behind the halfing was a rancid bar with townspeople huddled in darkened corners and a few rough folk at tables with mugs in front of them.
    • Elmo, the barman/owner of The Hurling Heffer, drank with them and shared news
    • Myra, the madam of the brothel behind the Heffer, flirted with Pliny with her toothless smile.
    • Aegar, once he met up with his friends, chose discretion over the valor of drinking the questionable ale.
  • To the south, the party encountered a pair of bugbears with an ambush drake hiding in the trees:
    • As they made their way, Pliny whispered “I think there’s bad guys up ahead.” The party stopped the cart and tied up the mules.
    • Zoyana hushed the party as they approached silently.
    • Aegar started the counter-ambush with a flying leap from the embankment above, and obliterated the first Bugbear with his smiting flail.
    • Zoyana called thorns into the space around the ambush drake, and flailed with her scimitar
    • Pliny shattered the living bugbear and pinged with his crossbow
    • The living bugbear took his mace to Aegar and Zoyana
    • The ambush drake attempted to circle around and eat Pliny, only to be Thunderwaved into thorny oblivion.
    • Seeing his friends killed and being horribly wounded himself, the last bugbear attempted to surrender.
    • Zoyana beat Aegar to the action and was having none of the surrender. Seeing her tense, the bugbear brought down his mace one last time, before having his head split in two by her scimitar.
  • A tense conversation ensued between Aegar (“he was surrendering!”) and Zoyana (“he was lying, see this bloody spot here?”), and the curtain closed on the session…
