The party enters Hillstead, checks their horses into the
About 45 min later, Celceor shows up and sits down to cold food. Let the party
discuss what to do next. Noreeno is expected in the area in the next 8 to 12
hours.
Bane: "Hey everyone, look! Celceor is off somewhere withholding information from the party. How weird!"
Celceor: “Hey, Celceor has yet to withhold any information from the party, he also has yet to attempt to steal another persons belongings or talk about killing another party member with poison in the night. Unlike some others in our party. As for being late, he was more than likely detained because he was saving some poor child who had fallen down a well or some such!!”
Eggo: "Wouldn't
it be simply awful if someone used Fafnir's 'Horn of Blasting' to destroy a
building such as this while Noreeno and his guards were in it? I'm just
saying it would be a sad confluence of events with a happy dividend (Noreeno is
destroyed and we are one step closer to saving the world...) Pelor be praised!"
(To Celceor): "Are you going to eat
that? Ever since I got this belt of slimming, I've noted that I can eat
as much as I like and still look smashing in my big Pelor mu-mu. The
vertical stripes are slimming!"
Celceor: "Though Eggo, thats a bit harsh, I mean with that you would have the destruction of private property, the loss of a potential business, and quit possibly loss of innocent lives. No, I say, wait until he heads to the outhouse. Then do it!!! Its only fiting he should die on the Throne!! And by all means, do help yourself. <christopher walken voice>And with that belt I must say you simply look just 'Maahrvelous'</christopher walken voice>!!"
Entire session was a combat encounter with Noreeno, a
magistrate the party was asked to kill by the Queen. The ambush was set on the
road, rather than in the inn. The party
spent quite some time planning this attack, and just like Murphy says, the plan
failed as soon as it started. Bent was singing to himself and didn't hear everyone
talk about what to do and casted grease…no wait he didn't…. no, apparently he
did…..but the enemy cleric spotted someone and alerted the enemy.
The party launched their attack a little early, so not everyone (8 total
people), was in the kill zone. Fafnir sounded his horn, Celceor launched a
fireball, and poison arrows flew! The two horsemen in front went down and broke
their legs or their ankles, Noreeno was severely hurt and casted Improved
Invisibility on himself. The party sighed……
The two horsemen on the flanks were discovered to be Cavaliers and charged
party members down using their heavy lances. The evil cleric brought forth a
fiendish dire wolf and was promptly paralyzed. Celceor brought forth two
hippogryphs to fight the wolf. Werkle flew around in circles trying to find
Noreeno who casted fly on himself after invisibility. Celceor casted detect
magic to find Noreeno (Someone please
research if detect magic can detect invisibility) and helped Werkle find and
kill him. The horsemen were brought down and the enemy was reduced to the two
soldiers with broken legs. Bane, after putting arrows through a needle head,
walked up confidently and promptly got his arse handed to him by the two
soldiers on the ground with broken legs.
Everyone else helped him out and the fight was over.
The party went back to town, got their horses, and started their journey south.
They arrived in Della Minera (mining town the party was in before) a couple
days later, settled in the Inn, and we ended the session after the party went
to sleep.
