Belle Venture), and It is now: 6:30 am on September 29th (Day 55 on the
Isle of Dread). The adventurers decide to pay a visit to the
primitive tribe of Bullywugs and hitch a ride across the lake to head back
towards the main entrance into the Forbidden City (Thracia). The primitive
tribe’s dwelling is a cavern area inside the 300 ft tall Cliffside east of the
main entrance. As they approach they see 3 large clefts. The openings are 4 to
5 ft wide and are spaced 10 to 16 ft apart. The area around the openings is
somewhat clear of vegetation, although swampy. Plants that do grow here are
mostly stripped of leaves and trampled down. Muck and slop visibly cover the
floor of the cave mouths. Currently there is no one outside around the bullywug lair, so
the party approaches the first opening and Leera shouts inside, “Hey!! In the
caves!!”, while banging her buckler on the haft of her axe, and the sound of
silence greets her back. If anyone is inside, they now someone is here now. Xilicien says, “They’re waiting…”. Leera says “Lets not keep
them waiting much longer”. So thus the adventurers start entering the first cave mouth and
proceed inwards down the short passage, seeing that the place is filled with
mud and refuse littering the floor, until they are confronted by two of the
bullywugs, who speaks to them in their croaking language while waving spears at
the party. The adventurers try to communicate but it appears none of them
speak the Common language. Leera, really not looking to fight them says, “Let’s go, no
sense standing around here. Let’s try the other cave (entrances), maybe one is
friendly”. After retreating from the first passage, they enter the second
cave mouth and go up it’s short passage to again be greeted by two different
croaking primitive bullywugs. Xilicien tries to speak to them in UnderCommon
but to no avail. Leera says, “Okay, forget this they don’t want to be friends,
leave ‘em”. Lord Cromther not detecting any evil intent on the bullywugs. So now, they decide to go pay a visit to the bugbears in their
compound in the Forbidden City. As they enter the compound they can hear the sounds of bugbear
children playing, Right up ahead bugbear kids are visible with an adult male
and female nearby, watching over them. A taller more stocky one approaches the
party, one of the guards. Leera, not caring for bugbears in general, raises her axe
saying, “Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Dying times here”. The guard says, “So I see. Look if you are here to make trade
for wares then ok, if you are here to cause trouble then get lost before I
holler for the others”. Leera says, “Go ahead and holler, we’ll wait”. Guard says, “Looks
like the dwarf woman wants to pick a figh? Very well then, (Rest is shouted in
the Bugbear language).” Three more guards coming immediately running over, their weapons
drawn but do not yet attack. Leera, tosses the figurine of wonderous power onto
the ground causing the two lions to come to life. The bugbears are surprised by
this but still do not attack, instead they wait until more guards from the
north and east come running over. The guard that greeted them says, “Still feel
like fighting lady dwarf”? Ignoring the lions. The conversation continues and it comes to the point that the
adventurers can talk to The Boss, their new leader. The party having killed the
previous one and the tribe’s Shaman at a temple and meeting place. Leera says,
"Hey Boss, The Yuan ti are trying to summon a demon lord, if they do, your
people will all die, join us and live out your life" The Boss says,
"Oh Ha Ha Ha! This had better be good and not a waste of my time! Go on
continue to Speak! What is your offer here! We know the Yuan-Ti have been under
constant attack and show weakness. How are you better for us?" Xilicien says, “I for one, have no
intent on attacking, however the Dwarf speaks the truth & we will have to
stop you, if you if you aid them." The Boss says, "Yes, I know of
Sertrous and even Xanathon. The Yuan-Ti claims Sertrous is coming to rule over
us all, offering prosterity”. Leera says, "The Yuan ti see you
as cattle to be used and left for dead after their demon comes". Camlin
says, “Death is what Sertrous brings”. The Boss says, “With the Yuan-Ti
being attacked and more subdued each time, I have had my doubts yes”. Xilicien says, “Demons, offering
prosperity? Ha! A devil I could believe, however demons revel in chaos”. The Boss says, “You, I must admit
speak the truth”. Leera says, “The only thing this demon will bring is death
and destruction upon the world". The Boss says, "Where does your
knowledge of this come from”? Xilicien says, “We have contacts,
rebels of the cause, Yuan-Ti who see the foolishness of their peoples plan, Yuan_Ti
who wish to remain alive”. Leera says, “We have spoken with a Yuan ti who knows
the truth, his name is Zoldathra" The Boss, is surprised by this
revelation and says, “Zoldathra, i know personally and he does not seem like
the rebel type. This is most interesting considering his status among the Yuan
Ti, yes. I offer you a truce, however, if the Yuan-Ti order us to attack you,
we must do as told or we face their wrath." Leera says, "I guess that’s the
best we can do, guess we are done here”. The Boss says, “Very well then. This
meeting is over, have a good day”! Leera side eyes the conscientious objector,
Xilicien. Xilicien, asks The Boss if he knows
of any mages in the city and he mentions, Zoldathra, their former Shaman and
Aratheas, the elf wizard at the mongrelman camp. The party then leaves the Bugbear
compound and head back to the mongrelmen compound. Xilicien has a word with
Aratheas, asking to see her spellbook so he may copy any spell he does not
have. And that concludes today’s Adventure Gaming Session! See you all
