Session 14

·      Hanging around the campfire, Evie watched Conor try – and fail – to convince their newest friend Celest that he doesn’t have an interiority complex. Celest, who had arrived on a cart an hour or so earlier, saw through his attempts.

·      The 3, and the other new arrival Vartras, headed once more into the mine on Lurtz’s advice to try and find a storeroom they’d not yet raided.

·      Heading to the right now, Celest staring blankly at the floor, our heroes walked into an ambush by 2 moderate size & 1 big dark mantles. One managed to hill itself by attacking Evie, and the rest were swiftly dispatched.

·      They walked into the storage room, sensing danger, and were ambushed by a female, followed soon by a male, Umber Hulk smashing through the walls of the room. The battle got close, but our team were able to overcome these foes, despite their maddening gaze & Vartras being knocked unconscious.

·      The room was looted, and the party carried Vartras out & they rested for a few hours. They spoke to Kudgral, explaining that they’d cleared out the Umber Hulks, and he told them he would probably be able to clear out the remaining Kruthicks nests. He also gave Evie some ‘interesting’ poppy’s milk, and after drinking some, Evie was afflicted by the curse of popularity.

·      The party, including an overly opiated wood elf, wandered back towards Moarkaliff – but decided to wait until Evie came to, to avoid questions of the popular girl’s unconsciousness. They managed to find an abandoned treehouse to wait in.

·      A band of wargs did try their luck to take our heroes before they could make it to the treehouse, but to no avail.

·      Conor scouted it out first, then Vartras broke the rope used to get up. They then spent a fair amount of time fannying around, and Vartras accidentally lynched Evie for a moment, but then thankfully she was mashed on heroin, so she wasn’t dramatically affected by her ordeal.

·      They managed to get her up in the end, and rested with her up there. They convinced Evie that the reason her neck hurt were the wargs.
