1/21/20: Asteroid (Julie:Sorcerer 2), Lord Lowdex (Jose:Cleric 2), Maul
(Matt:Rogue 2) and Snake Eyes (John:Warrior 2) are in the Maid &
Shield drinking and listening to rumors for possible work. They hear
about a noble looking for a missing sword, a brewery overrun by giant
rats and some hunting missions offered by the Tyrant of the city. They
talk to the noble and convince him to let them recover the sword from
the Black market. Things go over pretty well except for Lord Lodex
bidding all of the gold given to them versus a much smaller bid (200 vs
82 gold). The noble (Amblecrow) rewards them with food and a sigil
showing his sponsorship of them. They then head back to the Maid &
Shield to try and find out more about this giant rat problem. No one at
the tavern knows anything. They find out there are only 3 big breweries
in Erindale so they decide to check them one by one. As luck would have
it, the first one, Pint o' Fish, is having a giant rat problem. They
group goes inside, almost burns down the building but kills all the rats
and swarms. They also found clues pointing to the rats being send
inside crates and barrels from "Joe's Farm". They were each rewarded
with 25gold and a small cask of brandy worth 20gold. Of note, Maul
missing a Giant Rat three times in a row, earning the title "Strike of
Borrowed Luck" and Asteroid getting critical-ed three times in a single
combat, earning the title "I Spurn My Cursed Fate".
1/28/20:
Snake Eyes is alone at the Maid & Shield (where he also rents a
small room). He is approached by Fann Urchor (Female Human Cleric 1, worshiper of Hardty (God of Change)) and her companion, Suntunu (Male
Halfelf Bard 1) who ask him to join them on a quest to recover a lost
statue. A vision has lead Fann to believe it will be found at a lost
temple that she has a map to. The three of them and two initiates of her
Temple head off on mounts to travel to the temple. It is a 3 day
journey. On the first day they find a burnt down farm house that housed
two Smoke Mephits. They were destroyed and 20silver was recovered. The
rest of the journey was uneventful. In the lost Temple, one of the first
rooms contained a Gelatinous Cube that almost killed Snake Eyes when he
walked into it. He got lose and found another door to get through away
from the Cube. Fann used Sacred Flame to kill the Gelly Cube (taking
several minutes to do so), while a goblin on patrol almost finished
Snake Eyes off but he killed it first. Among the bits of Cube were coins totaling 30gold. The next room held a Goblin Boss, that was woken by
Snake Eyes prying open the door with his crowbar. Upon defeating him, his treasure was 2 smokey quartz
worth 10gold each and 26gold in various coins. The next room was a
goblin den with 10 goblins but they fled when hearing the battle in the
other room. A search of this room turned up lots of filth and trash and
the statue covered in filth. There was another door with "Gelly Cube!" writing in goblin on it, that they did not search. They leave the
temple and head back... right into a goblin ambush.. The goblins kill
the two initiates and down Fann. Snake Eyes rides his mount over to the
mount with the statue and gallops away with it as fast as he can,
pursued by four goblins . Suntunu heals Fann and the two of them drive
away the goblins that didn't chase after Snake Eyes. Snake Eyes arrived
back at Erindale three days later and hides the statue in his room.
Another two days pass and Fann And Suntunu show up. Fann gives Snakes
Eyes his share of the loot and takes the statue. Suntunu is pissed off
and sings a satirical song about Snake Eyes "When danger reared it's
fearsome head, he turned his mount and quickly flee..." Snake Eyes is
now level 3.
