Today’s session started out slow with the group at town
finishing up with their final purchases before searching out for a quest.
Kegorach came through for the group as he managed to remember some rumors about
caravans being attacked and the trading company paying for the retrieval of the
cargo manifests and for whatever is causing the attacks to be neutralized. More
rumors pointed them towards a Myrmidon nest near the place where the caravans
disappeared. These bipedal insects that were cousins of the Coelopterans.
In order to make this trip, they bought a wagon and several
laborers to drive the horses and watch the wagon while they investigated the nest.
With Sarman and Kritty attempting to enter first with stealth, finding only a
gap in the rocks to a small area and a small pond full of rainwater.
Returning to the group and explaining what they have found,
the made the attempt to draw close a drone with a thrown ration and control him
with a cleric’s spell. Instead what happened is that Kegorach managed to
establish communication with the Myrmidons using a large amount of gesturing.
Unfortunately, communications broke down fairly soon due to
a misunderstanding and instead the group decided to set up a choke point at the
entrance to the nest and started a fight. It didn’t go the way that they wanted
when the injured drone was immediately picked up by the others and taken away
while those from the Soldier caste screened them. Perhaps it was this display
that caused guilt in the party and made them back down. Instead Kegorach got
back into contact with the ants and convinced them to allow him and Hobo the
cleric to go heal the drone.
Led further into the nest, the two casters were brought into
a dark circle of Myrmidons where communication was establish with a deaf Elite
and the drone was healed. A back and forth conversation ensued where they
revealed that they did take the wagons and boxes from the caravan and that the
people from the caravans were dead. Despite healing the drone, the Elite was
adamant that Sarman was to be brought to them to pay for his crime against the
nest while Kegorach attempted to convince them that since no harm was done, they
didn’t need him.
Through a few miscommunications with the Elite, it finally
came down to Hobo hitting Sarman with a Spasm spell forcing him to drop to the
ground. Happy with this turn of events where it appeared that even his team
agreed he must pay for the harm, the Elite ordered several soldiers forwards to
the stricken Martial Artist as Kegorach frantically gestured for them to stop.
