pm: The adventurers had just left
Alee-Onna’s cottage after a welfare check and dropping off a basket of food. When about 200 yards away there
is a commotion heard back at the cottage prompting the party to run back and
see what is going on! NOTE:
The base running speed would be: Running 360ft (unencumbered) /
270ft (armored or encumbered). On a
realistic note: 9.58 seconds is the fastest for a 100 yard dash for Usian Bolt
and 10.49 for Florence Griffith-Joyner. So
since I have the combat rounds = to 6 seconds it would take the armored party
characters 3 rounds to reach the house. Estrel at first tries to slam
the front door open then remembers the axe on the pile of logs in the back and
runs back there as Duncan goes and has a look at the side window. As Estrel is chopping away at
the back door, Duncan sees that the window shutters have been torn off and
laying on the ground. The window itself has been smashed through with most of
the debris falling inside of the house. Duncan also notes a trail of blood
leading to and then out of the window and into the apple orchard to the west. Duncan sees that Alee-Onna is
laying on the floor in a pool of blood, with a bloodied dagger in one hand and
the other hand near her neck. Estrel gets inside and goes over
to Alee-Onna to have a look, he sees a bite wound on her neck, just like the
one he saw on Dunno’s neck. Chandry comes in and has a look at Alee-Onna, while
the rest of the party also has a look inside. Estrel goes back out to meet
Duncan and have a look at the trail of blood. Chandry, has a listen for a
heart beat and feels for a pulse but there is none and his magics are not strong
enough to revive her in any way. Chandry, notes that the bag of coins that
Alee-Onna talked about are now gone, as the bag is no longer tied to her waist.
Duncan shouts inside for someone
to take Alee-Onna’s dagger and Izabel quickly snags it, then wipes the blood
off. The dagger is of fine craftsmanship. The party then heads out to
follow the trail of blood and prints, led by Estrel, as he tracks with his
ranger skills. The trip through the forest
takes two hours and no other encounters happened. They come out of the forest
and onto a road going north and south. They turn north according to the hand
drawn map Alee-Onna gave them. Hoping it will take them to the Candlestick
Mountain mine. About an hour and a half later
they come upon a wagon sitting to the side of the road. As
you round a bend in the road, you see a horse and cart on the right. The horse
is lying on its side and is not moving. From somewhere in the carts general
direction you can hear a rhythmic scraping sound, like two rough stones being
rubbed vigorously together. As
party members approach the wagon, a shrill buzzing squeal is heard as 3 strange
humanoid flying creatures barely a foot tall pop out of the horse, zipping
around you like really aggressive hornets! Estrel exclaims, “Stop! We are
NOT here to Take your meal away from you!” The Unseelie Sprites as they are
called just ignore him and attack the party! Initiative rolls are made and
Round 1 of Combat begins: Izabel, swings her broad sword
at Unseelie Sprite #01, slicing through the creature in mid-air, defeating him! Chandry, jabs at Unseelie Sprite
#03, with a spear, stabbing the creature for 6 damage, severely wounding him! Unseelie Sprite #03, hits
Chandry back with it’s 4 inch long short sword for 1 damage! Ricardo, fires an arrow with the
long bow but missed Unseelie Sprite #03! Duncan, hits Unseelie Sprite #03
for 4 damage, dropping the creature! Estrel fires an arrow with the
short bow at point blank range of 6 to 30 ft, hitting for 4 damage, the
creature is surely dead now! Round #01, Second Attacks: Estrel fires an arrow, at
Unseelie Sprite #02 but missed! Round #02 of Combat: The shrill buzzing sound is now
heard coming from a tree to the north east as 3 more Unseelie Sprites come
flying at the party to join the fray! Izabel, swings her broad sword
at Unseelie Sprite #02 but missed! Unseelie Sprite #05 and #06 casts
a Magic Missile spell at Duncan, hitting for 4 damage each (8 total)! Chandry, hits Unseelie Sprite #02
for 1 damage with the spear!
Unseelie Sprite #02, missed
Chandry with the 4 inch long short sword!
