Encounters Session 8

Would you like to join us this Wednesday at 6pm?  We play at Morningstar Games on Montgomery Crossroads.  No experience or materials needed.  We do recommend you RSVP by commenting on this post.  Also, if you usually come and can't make it, post a comment and let us know.  If you are running late the same.

A note on coming late:  We really want to let EVERYONE who wants play.  This last encounter was difficult, and possibly less fun, because our party of 6, became a party of 9 (before 1 regular dropped out to make room - THANK YOU!) after 6pm.  If we would have known you were coming, we could have easily set up a 2nd game in preparation.   Food for thought; now for our regularly scheduled program.


As has become tradition for this campaign, let's update our list of names. For the record I am not listing EVERY name, or this would be a VERY long post. Just the names that seem to matter for the overall story:

Lady Anya Tamora, Ruler of Crystal Brook
Lord Carric, Ruler of the Sildaine Forest
Count Varis Sybar, Ruler of Sybar (mediator between Tamora and Carric)
Juliana, daughter of Carric
Orlando, son of Tamora
Caerwyn, inside Juliana, daughter of Oran
Porpherio, inside Orlando, adopted son of Tiandra
Oran, archfey, Green Lord
Tiandra, archfey, Summer Queen
Ragnar, agent of Oran, a verbeeg mercenary
Uma, agent of Tiandra, a briar witch dryad
Basal, Ragnar's cousin, sent to kill Orlando/Porpherio
Soryth, Dream Queen, hag, at the Palace of Spires
Kalbon, Soryth's partner in crime?

Overall, a simple encounter, where our party finally comes the protected Water Palace and discovers Orlando/Porpherio in a trap door hiding from would be captors (our party).  He is cordial enough once he finds out who the party is and that they know of Julianna/Caerwyn and that she has been captures.  He is ready to head off and help us rescue her.  However, as our party turns to head out they find the large Verbeeg Basal, Ragnar's cousin, barring the door.  Before blood shed, he offers a contest (a fight until submission) for the rights to Orlando/Porpherio.  Our party of EIGHT succeeds in 3 rounds of beating him to submission, and they head off back to Ragnar with Orlanda/Porpherio.  They also find roses on the island giving our party their fourth and final key to the Palace of Spires (Soryth's base), though no one know hows to get there, so far.

Hope to see you Wednesday!
