Drakke Game Summary for Saturday (08/21/2021): Opening Scene: Day 57: August 17th, 7:00 am The
adventurers have stayed overnight at the Wayside Inn, located on the southern
corner where the High Road meets the Triboar trail. They have a quick breakfast
and head down the Triboar, to the location marked ‘Eris’ on the rabbit skin map
they had found. A roughly 57 mile trip. At the 22 mile mark there is an encounter with 3
hobgoblins that decided to raid the party on the trail. Avery, Marcuria, Rolo and Roqar, spots them hiding and
Rolo and Dia immediately cast their Mage Armor spell upon themselves as all 3

The party continues a few more miles before setting up camp along the side of
the road out of sight. Nothing bothers them during the long rest and they
continue onwards for the 2 nd day and camp over night again. Nothing eventful happens during the long rest, however
in the morning they noticed a flock of ravens resting nearby, before setting
off on the last leg of their journey to ‘Eris’. The ravens simply scatter away when Roqar approached them. A little while later as they continue on their journey
to the mountains, they meet a flock of crows around a macbre meal. The
scavengers are bent over the carcass of an animal, possibly a deer. Suddenly,
the birds stop their feasting and all turn at the same time towards the party!
The ravens stare at you in silence without moving a muscle, twelve pairs of
menacing eyes following them! Avery, suggests that they simply move on and do so.
Roqar, points out Wyvern Tor in the distance, stating that if they don’t smell
it, as they get closer, to maybe swing
by. A few miles later, the party sees a flock of ravens
circling over what appears to be an abandoned camp. As they get closer, they
find the remains of a bonfire and several wrecked pallets. Lying on the ground
are corpses of six orcs, who have been dead for at least a month. Oddly, the
ravens have not touched the bodies. Roqar says, “That’s what I smelled, even ravens have
standards”. Rolo has a closer look at the orc raiding party and determines that
they appeared to have attacked each other. Nothing of value is found upon them. As
they get about a mile from the ‘Eris’ location, a dense bank of fog suddenly
rises around them! The mist becomes
denser every second, limiting visibility and hindering the passage of sunlight.
In the cloudy swirls, you can see indistinct figures circling around you like a
pack of wolves. You feel something touching your back, your arm, your ankle;
the fog is becoming solid, and is trying to grab you! The
next thing they spot are nine shadowy figures, in the fog coming towards the
party members! Initiative
rolls are made and Combat Round #01 beings: Shadow
#09, tries to drain the strength out of Rolo with its necrotic touch but
missed! Marcuria,

her skin. Juan,
