There was no game on 02/02/21. I had to work ordered overtime...
Playing: Thineli (Aaron), Sir Dawnstar (John), Cryrus Shwing (Keiran), Ellalan (Julie), Yeusof (Jose)
Date in Campaign is: 43th of Grentle
The Players get to the castle, they see everything and everyone is covered in a thick (half inch or so) semi-transparent salt glaze. Sir Dawnstar and Cyrus break into the doors in front and explore the castle. All is covered in salt. Ellalan frees one guard at the front gate, each attack on the salt raising a cloud of choking poisonous salt. The freed guard is named Doncan. They question the guard but he knows almost nothing, he was standing guard, heard some shouting and everything went black. he tells them the ruler of Castle Sohan is Lord Laurence and the town is called Allenstones. Gives them some basic knowledge of the background of the setting. Meanwhile, Thineli hears something in the distance to the north and sees a ragged man running towards them and the castle from hundreds of feet away. He throws a spear with something flapping on it at the castle and runs back into the desert. Thineli goes to investigate the spear and finds a message attached. The message was written in blood on a piece of cloth "NO go CaStlE, MeDusA". Thineli turns and does not see the party. They have gone into the castle to go look for water. Doncan leads them to the nearest well.. but it is encased in salt. Suddenly they hear voices coming towards them. Doncan runs back to the front of the castle while Ellalan and Yeusof hide and Cyrus goes running to the docks yelling stop (?). As Cyrus runs past the two mercenaries they are surprised by his appearance and not sure what to make of him as he zooms pass. Sir Dawnstar steps forward and greets the encountered mercenaries. They tell him they are from the ship. They seem at least neutral towards him, giving him their water skins and telling him he should leave, their Mistress wants them to capture everyone but they seem to be trying to chase any unsalted people out of the town. Sir Dawnstar refuses to leave and keeps talking till their boss, Rabid Eye, shows up with two more mercs. Rabid Eye yells to capture him and then fights with Sir Dawnstar, Yeusof and Ellalan joining in when Sir Dawnstar is being beaten down. Sir Dawnstar and Yeusof are knocked out and captured, Ellalan escapes. Ellalan uses a 4th ki to do Step of the Wind and runs away back into the castle. She was thinking the whole time, "Why didn't thinelli help us??? Yousef and Sir Dawnstar...could be dead...and where the heck did that bird go??" Cyrus is running through the town screaming stop... Meanwhile outside the castle, Thineli follows footprints in sand to where he finds a tiny sad little camp. He meets a lone surviving guardman, Bryce has been living alone for the last two weeks. He saw the castle turned to salt. Not much he knows about that. He tells them about the library in town and the sage that runs it., Corbite. Ellalan and Doncan follow the footprints in the sand to Bryce's camp. Bryce is surprised Doncan is alive, believing everyone was dead from being covered in salt. Bryce has seen the Medusa while trying to get food and water from the town, describing her as 8-9 feet tall and wearing tattered sea weedly clothing. He also tells them about how he has been drinking the fluids of the small lizards he finds to survive ("Juice Box Lizards") and how plump those lizards Thineli is carrying are... Meanwhile, Cryus gets close to the ship, sees all the people on board and tries to distract them with an illusion of noise from a nearby house.. Thundermint sneaks up on him.. invites him back to ship but is unable to get an audience with Nomura Nexx so he is just hanging out on the deck with Thundermint and Gakrar (a half orc dressed in fancy leathers that says he is a merchant) and the mercs on the ship. Yeusof and Sir Dawnstar awaken in cells in the hold of the ship, with another prisoner, Lord Laurence. Each is in separate cells and without equipment. Yeusof is bending the ear of Lord Lourace with tales of his ego. Thineli and Ellalan are at a sand dune with the two guards eating weak lizard tail soup.
Will the party come together again?... will they keep wandering in different directions?...
Kill Count=(1xGladiator Fought but lost)+(4xHobgoblin Warrior beating on them)
