August Wednesdayz

Ilmeth, the Lord of Essembra in Battledale, summons your party and Magistrate Dick Licious Maximous Rex. He has an errand for you and asks what he should best use to call your party, instead of "Essembra's Heroes". 


Please respond to his invitation with your group name.

...Later that day.

"Ah, Cluster... Fucks, is it? Well I like that! I have a task for you all, should you accept your party will be rewarded with 1800gp. I'm concerned about the extent that the Zhentirim have infiltrated and are influencing the people of Essembra and greater Battledale as well as some of the surrounding Dales. The task is to take the Rauthavyr's Road south to Sembia and deliver this magically sealed scroll to my cousin, Mormitha in Ordulin, who sits on the council there. City guards will let you pass if you tell them you're emissaries of Daggerdale sent by me to the council, you may mention Mormitha if they press but do not let anyone have the letter. Be quick! Time is of the essence."


The party took the Errand and departed Essembra, and stopped by Rauthan Pub across from Aencar's Manor (a famous haunt for experienced adventurers). As they entered the pub, they saw the prime table by a window... perfect for a hot meal. The only issue.... Six Half-Orcs were sitting there (that is the actual party name, yeah, not very created... but then again, half-orcs, duh). Cythor promptly informed them that they were sitting at your table and a fight broke out. A few of you took some shots from the Half-Orcs. One of them escaped with their life, Clarice dropped a fog bomb on the place to cover your escape.

Following the events above, you all made the trek into Sembia arriving just a few miles outside the capital city Ordulin. You secured lodging at an inn.

Mormitha in Ordulin
Mormitha requires an experienced party of adventurers to embark on a trek to locate ancient ruins  in the mountains of the Archwood and find a Tome within the ruins that contains ancient knowledge. Part of the agreement was a total sum of 18,000gp (3k each) and some gear costs.
Zhent Agents are out to discover this relic as well, secrecy and discretion are of upmost importance.

After embarking on the road, you passed through a watering hole on the way to Archwood and Askelad noticed a fellow that was in the tavern Cythor started a brawl in between Battledale and Ordulin. He looked intimidated by the group and that would make sense after the violent display put on just days prior.
After the watering hole you all encountered a Bulette!


After defeating the Bulette the party approached the Archwood and encountered to be what they thought was a Large Green Dragon. The dragon turned out to be an illusion, cast by Jamech... the fellow from the watering hole and tavern. He used the dragon to draw the party into his trap where he employed 5 Barghest to attack the part.


The Barghest eventually revert back to their Goblin form, pictured above. They had no weapons or valuables but possessed 600gp between those that were killed, two fled via some form of teleportation.

The party stopped Jamech's retreat with the aid of Fil's Silence spell, and ended the rogue with a combination of fire and weapon damage.

His gear:

Weapons: Magic Short Sword Magic Hand Crossbow(rogue)

Armor: Magic Mithral Chain shirt

Goods: Coin: gp (40) (40 gp). Spyglass

Magic Amulet, Magic Ring, Magic Cloak
