 After action for 08/03/2021.

Playing: John as Shadow Wulf, Aaron as P’wox and Kerian as Meltara, Julie as Solaris, Jose as Elkas and Rumo as Frostbeard Battlehammer.

The dates in the Campaign are: Starting  on the 65th of Grentle, ending on the 65th

When the group wakes the next morning, Solaris and Elkas return in the same mysterious way that they left. One second not there and the next there. They tell their story...They found themselves in an area of mist, as far as the eye could see. After standing there for a few moments they saw a figure approaching them. A tall genderless figure wearing a long hooded cloak, that shifted from white to grey to black and then back again. Solaris recognized the figure as her god Karma. Solaris rushed to him and hugged the figure but it seemed like she was hugging a statue in a robe. Karma started speaking, asking if she had forgotten what he taught her. Solaris said she had not and had been living by the rules he had taught her. Karma asked about the two her and her party had freed from being slaves. Solaris and Elkas said it was better for them to be free than to be slaves so they had been helped and were working at the warehouse. Karma told them they have no experience not being slaves and will be used and taken advantage of by most they meet. Then he asked about the fire in the woods they just watched burn. There was some back and forth before Solaris said she thinks she should see about getting another god to follow. Karma said if that is what you wish and released her from his service. He then told Elkas to remember the warning he received about his brother as his encounter with him was fast approaching. And then they were at the camp with the party. Two days had passed for the party but only moments for Elkas and Solaris. Solaris decided if she is no longer a cleric, she is gonna go dark and look for a warlock patron. Both Elkas and Solaris seemed unsettled by what had just happened and immediately left and headed back to Asium, leaving the others standing there. The remaining party members (P'wox, Shadow Wulf, Meltara, Gelgres and Lonnie) debate about going back to the ruins and heading back to Asium. After a while a group of heavily armed and armored goblins demand that they leave the forest. "Despoilers! You must leave the forest!" Shadow Wulf can see there are goblin snipers hiding in the woods. So they go back to the city. They have some plan about asking for aid against the demons from the Dwarven stronghold, Vorngrum, in the mountains to the north but they know next to nothing about dwarfs. They head to the scholar section of the city and encounter Frostbeard's noisy face.. who has been possessed by loud spirits! He vanishes as quickly as he came. Hikmet the scholar takes them to meet Grurmam Treasurecoat, a dwarven scholar at the Institute. They try to find out if the dwarves would give them armor and weapons for their battles against the demon invasion. The dwarf tells them the stronghold runs no charity operations and they can always find work on farms. They head to the Adventurers Guild and see three jobs available: a farm having problems with restless dead, a person being stalked by some unknown demon (?) that shows up at night and a group on ettercap is keeping a field from being used. The first job is ranged D and worth about 15gold. The second job is ranked B and worth 60gp. and the last pays 5gp per ettercap head. The 2nd job: Toygar Daha is a jeweler. He thinks he must have handled some cursed item cause something keeps trying to grab him at night forcing him to hire guards and sleep in lit rooms. They investigate and find out that this has been going on for almost a year, about the same time his fiance vanished. His ex was named Alime and was of the Noble House of Balaban. There was another suitor called Vadin, but he died being an adventurer over six months ago. Thinking the missing Alime is somehow involved they convince Toygar to wear the ring and the hat for his wedding and wait for the creature. The creature appears, Toygar tries to talk to it and nothing happens.. then they burst into the bedroom and it attacks P'wox. They attack it.. the merchant runs out and the creature fades away. P'wox notices that the creature did not try to attack Toygar.  The party heads back to the Reign of Peace warehouse to sleep and the next morning will go to the Institute for more information. At the warehouse Frostbeard Battlehammer is there.
