- The Hermit Legend Game Summary for Sunday Evening (11/24/2019): It is now 25 days into the
adventure (since setting off in the Belle Venture), and 2:50 pm on day 19. It is now August 18 th . The party approaches an opening
into daylight traveling northward in the main passage that leads to the
Forbidden City. They can see a strip of land a swampy beach and then some docks
with several boats of various sizes for passengers and cargo. The docks are manned by
mongrelmen. As the party exits the cave passage, they see a city on an island
on a lake. Likely, the Forbidden City on
Taboo island. The crater has a swampy beach all along the bottom of the cliffs,
with what appears to be a small village to the west. It is noted that the huge rope
bridge, 3,000 ft above them that they saw leading from a mountain pass south of
the plateau, over the river and jungle below is now not visible anywhere inside
the creater. They are approached from either
side by two Yuan-Ti, one with snakes for arms. They ask the party for their
permissions and business, to enter the city. First they try the angle of being
attacked by Grippli frogmen, looking for bounty for killing them. Coal tries to
pass himself off as the merchant, Rollo Bargman, but the Yuan-Ti are not having
it and the one Yuan-Ti half-blood has a look at Sheila’s footman’s mace and
licks the dried blood on it, saying it doesn’t taste like Grippli to him. Others in the party try to pass
themselves off as workmen for Rollo, whom are working on clearing a path
through the Dread jungle. Balen the bard jester, tries to
convince the Yuan-Ti to let him in to perform at a tavern. Off to the east side of where
they entered the crater are a group of 5 primitive looking Bullywug frogmen,
standing in front of several cave openings along a path along the cliff wall,
which extends 3,000 ft above them. One of the Bullywugs is called
for and waved over by a Yuan-Ti and given instructions to go see the Master
about getting the group permission to enter the city. A while later, he comes back with word that the Master will
not let them in. Coal, takes a few steps forward
and the Yuan-Ti, draws his scimitar, the other raises his snake-arms, ready to
attack. Five, of the primitive Bullywugs
then come over to assist them. The party retreats into the cave,
discussing possible other ways to get into the city, they exit back out the
south end, avoiding the tasloi at the main gate and set up a camp away from the
river docks where the mongrelmen are and a bit close to the river. They decide to camp and rest and
on the 2 nd of 4 watches, when Grax and Rowan are on guard and Rowan
spots a giant crocodile coming for them. Rowan sounds the alarm and Round
1 of Combat Begins: Giant Crocodile, bites Rowan for
12 damage! Grax, hits the giant crocodile
with an arrow from his short bow at short range for 2 damage! Rowan, fires an arrow with his
short bow at point blank range for 14 damage! Grax, fires an arrow for 2 damage
to the giant crocodile! Rowan, fires an arrow for 12
damage to the giant crocodile! Rowan, fires an arrow for 14
damage to the giant crocodile! Round 2 of Combat with the whole
party now: Giant crocodile missed biting
Coal and it was a fumble but a dexterity save shows it stays on it’s feet. Maevis, cast his Magic Missiles
spell sending 4 bolts at the giant crocodile for 14 damage! This defeats the giant crocodile! End of Combat! The last two watches go by
without incident. The Party appears to want to go
up over the mountain to the south to find the path that leads to the rope
bridge and see if they can get down to the Forbidden City, from the top of the
plateau. And that ends the live gaming
session for the night until next time! Number of Sessions for current
