Our motley crew of four met at the local pub, Harko’s Tavern
in the Dives. We were all very low on coin and in desperate need of a paying
adventure. It started pretty poorly with Kromdar having little luck
with the locals. Luckily, Jir-El jumped in an was able to find a good job
rescuing a local princess who had been recently abducted. In no time our gang was chasing to the scene of the
abduction going down a flight of stairs where they had last been seen. Kromdar was an excellent scout and quickly led us to an area
where we were immediately jumped upon by 3 wolves and a cultist. The group made
quick work of this lot but Kromdar took quite a hit and needed some healing
from Severos. The party was healed and gathered loot including a crossbow,
25GP, and a silver brooch of a demon ape worth 30SP. Kromdar could hear chanting from the southeast so we went in
that direction to check it out. The team carried on into the labyrinth and unfortunately
were ambushed by a Giant spider. The spider inflicted much damage and effects
on the party, who struggled even hit the beast but the motley crew managed to
defeat it in the end. There was no loot in this room, it appears it was simply
a trap. The party noticed some light coming up from an upper level,
so we doubled back to get to the upper floor. We managed to stay quiet enough to avoid alerting too many
foes but did manage to fight a lone watchman cultist. The battle was quick and
the cultist was defeated in short order. The chanting was growing louder so we decided to follow our
ears. Kromdar was the first to enter the room and took
considerable damage whilst dealing out very little of his own. Jir-El was next
in, followed by Coran. They managed to
damage the cultists, but were unfortunately not able to avoid a fireball from
the priest. Kromdar was the next victim of fireball. The princess was on the alter in front of the shadowy form
of the almost summoned demon. Almost all hope was lost with 3 of the 4
adventurers bleeding out on the floor dying. Miraculously Jir-El managed to rally herself up, releasing a
deadly double shot combination on the priest, skewering him to the wall, ending
the summoning. Severos managed to kill a cultist and stabilise Coran, whilst
Kromdar and Jir-El managed to free the princess. Time was running out for Jir-El and Kromdar. Seevros managed
to just get to Jir-El and stabilise her. The princess, seeing Kromdars state,
held him in her arms until his eventual heroic death. The team managed to kill all but one of the cultists, but
one did manage to escape. The team took a rest and looted the room finding 25GP, a
silver bracelet worth 30SP, and another 7GP on the priest. The party exited the labyrinth and took the princess back to
the castle to her uncle. The uncle rewarded the reaming 3 team members
handsomely with 100GP each. The team went back to town with all of their new found
treasure. They sold it all for 63GP so each had a final haul of 121GP in total.
Now time for some rest, some training and most importantly
purchasing some better gear for our next adventure.
