Session Notes

Calendar Date: 20-3-569 - 23-3-596

• The Party arrived in Whiterock and quickly decided to leave and head back to Stagbrook
• To do this they once again had to travel through the Howling Woods
• At the entrance to the Howling Woods a Snatching Serpent took the goolgeek from Sphonyx's pack. Derek sent his cat after the serpent which fell out of the tree damaging its leg. He then sent his seagull which was able to catch the serpent
• Derek the got the goolgeek back and used a ring to lure the serpent to attempt to grab the serpent to tame it. This was unsuccessful and the serpent made off with the ring. Derek was able to send the seagull to get the ring back but the serpent quickly fled
• It got dark as the party reach the crossroads, they took the route to Stagbrook
• Along the way to Stagbrook they encountered a redcap goblin stronghold under attack by gullygugs. Jatumal tried to talk to the gullygugs in various languages they seemed to understand Druidic. Jatumal offered to help them with the siege which the leader accepted
• Jatumal shot a disintegration arrow at the support of one of the towers on the wooden goblin stronghold. It collapsed taking out three goblins and the ballista on the tower. However while falling some of the debris knocked down some of the Gullygugs
• Breadwig used his disintegration wand to down the same to the other tower at the other side of the gate after Jatumal told them to get back this time
• The gate and tower collapsed and three goblins ran out of the fort. The party and the gullygugs made short work of them. The lead gullygug threw up a pearl and gave it to them as a reward before they moved on
• Along the route back they met some more gullygug scouts and saw a stick child village up in the treetops before coming across a goblin roadblock
• Geog shouted at the goblins at the top of the wall distracting all five of them while the others crept up to the wall. Stinkcat used the crystal dagger from the Obsidian Keep to cut a door into the wall of the roadblock
• The group then climbed the ladder and each got behind a goblin killing them. Apart from Derek who kicked the lead goblin off the wall so Geog could stop it into the ground for insulting him
• Breadwig lit the wall on fire with his ignid tooth dagger before they all left without looking back. They hopped to burn down the wood
• The woods were quiet but eerie as they made the rest of their way back to the rocky slopes. They crossed a crumbled watch tower on the way
• When they passed the Pond of Foresight they all drank from it apart from Sphonyx and each got the same vision of lightning striking behind a skeleton with one red jewelled eye. It was Acman returned
• When they arrived in Stagbrook it was noon but the village was much more quiet than usual
• The party entered the Terrible Toad Tavern but Derek entered behind to be careful as he did not yet know the villagers and may be able to pose as an outsider
• They were greeted warmly by Havana Crawley the barmaid. She explained that goblins in the robes of Acman had been terrorising the town and demanding tribute
• The party then visited their shop which had been ransacked. The painting with Sarzan had been stolen along with many items. Sam the Slow hadn’t been able to catch the goblins as they robbed. He was very apologetic and accepted a small payment for minding the shop of 10gp. He had made about 1000gp while they were gone which he had managed to hold onto
• The party returned to the Terrible Toad where most of the village were gathered and Geog made a speech about fighting the goblins in the cliffs, the ruins and the fields. The locals were stirred
• The goblins were coming every few days and had only been the night before so the party trained the villagers and made defenses in a training montage while also making a plan of attack

• On the night 17 goblins came. They had eight villagers who were average at archery and 8 who were okay fighters. These were posted around the village. Jatumal prepared his boat to grow at one exit to block the goblin escape while the others hid behind ruined walls or bushes
• The village elder lead the goblins to the tribute in front of the church. Along the way they walked over a spike trap a few fell in, while others were bombarded by canon balls from the ship painting from the keep
• Breadwig cast an illusionary ignid but it was ineffective and did not scare the goblins.
• A volley of arrows was let loose and Jatumal expanded his boat sitting in the crows nest
• Sphonyx transformed into a bear as the Stagbrook militia ran out scaring the goblins back around toward the pit as Geog jumped out of it hacking at them. Most the remaining goblins fell into the pit
• The leader and one other goblin were left they fled toward the boat but were trapped. Jatumal disabled the lead goblin by shooting it in the leg and Sphonyx ran over and toyed with it still as a bear. The others ran out and blocked the other goblin from escaping and killed it
• The goblin was terrorised into explain who had sent him and where he had come from
• He had come from Stonehell, a nearby ruin of a prison complex, where many goblins lived but the Succubus Halstrea had recently came and promised them great things if they helped her bring back Acman
• The party bought a birdcage from Rodger Mercer, put the seagull ring on the goblin transforming it and stuck it into the cage. They then force him to guide them to Stonehell and show them the secret entrance that was less used.
• The town were overjoyed at the victory. The party organised a fund to rebuild Stagbrook and to create defenses and other things. Rodger Mercer was put in charge of using the money wisely with his devilish haggling skills and Havana was put in charge of keeping the money while they were gone.
