Conquering the Barbarian Altanis: Session 150
Adventurers
| Character | Race | Class | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tikatu | Human | Druid level 3 | A dirty little ma with dark and dirty skin, wearing loincloth with no back. “What will be, will be” is his favourite aphorism. |
| Kho Rimbo | Human | Magic-User level 3 | A knife throwing wizard extraordinaire. Covered in ritual knife scars. Cuts himself whilst casting. Prone to being sarcastic. |
| Amari | Human | Ranger level 1 |
Longrass 1st, Airday
Tikatu and Kho Rimbo returned to ashen remains of Hara on the first day of last month of Spring. There they parted was with Dalkanarion and Heran Marod who rode forth with large adventuring group to plunder the Windowless Tower.
Kho Rimbo, now a Conjurer, hoped that he would study and learn new spells at Hara's Wizards' Guild. But Tangay was killed and Guild was burned down to the ground. Ambros informed him of powerful, but uncooperative, Wizard going by Old Crus. He lives near Ironburg, a mining thorp upriver.
While Hara was intact this would be a few hour trek upstream. But now it was a three day walk instead.
Kho Rimbo was joined on his quest by pygmy Tikatu and a stalwart Amari. Gods knew he would need any help he could get.
Longrass 2nd, Waterday
The trio followed river Farhills northwards. They reached Dontrap by nightfall, a thorp on little hill. There they found nothing but abandoned and dilapidated houses. Paranoid, they chose the one with least windows and doors to spend the night in.
Moaning woke them up few hours after they went to sleep. Looking out one of their two windows they could see a gaunt, one-armed figure, slowly walking towards their hovel.
Kho Rimbo cast Magic Missile and downed the figure. Then they went back to sleep.
Longrass 3rd, Earthday
Morning investigation revealed that this was merely an old man without one eye and one arm. His garbs indicated he might have been a priest from the nearby ruined temple. Ransacking the temple and its garden resulted in recovering three divine scrolls: Cure Disease, Remove Curse, and Raise Dead. Feeling bad about killing the man, they buried him in the garden. Amari was glaring at Kho Rimbo the whole time. Tikatu was confused. We all die and rot in the end, so what's the difference.
The trio arrived in Ironburg by nightfall. They stayed at the Hog's Head inn. There Kho Rimbo tried to entice the innkeeper to tell him more about the locals and Rall Kyle's rule, Lord Kyle's uncle. Innkeeper was elbowed hard by his wife before he could spill the beans. They did learn Old Crus lives some half an hour east from Ironburg.
Longrass 4th, Fireday
Party visited Crus in the morning. It was an arduous and punishing meeting, as it usually is with old Wizards. Kho Rimbo managed to negotiate Crus's mentorship, but what he had done to do so is best left unwritten. He decided to stay at Ironburg, for he had nearly two months of studying ahead of him. Plus, every day he spent studying is one more day he hadn't had to act on his geas to recover a monster from Woelands. The name itself sent shivers down his spine.
Tikatu and Amari left for Hara. They passed a gang of gnolls hunting game. They arrived in Hara on Longrass 7th, Waterday. What is brewing in the region?
