Game Summary for Saturday (06/13/2020): Opening Scene: Day 13: May 14th;
9:00 pm The adventurers have just dealt with
a Red Wizard of Thay, Hamun Kost and his undead zombies guards / excavators at
the Old Owl Well site! If anything they could learn, it’s asking the guardian
banshee of Conyberry, Auglathla/Agatha, whom was the wizard that built the
tower. They also gained some wizardry clothing, various coinage, a large pearl something
in a bone scroll case and a ring band in a jeweled box. After camping overnight near Old
Owl Well, the party ventures southward heading straight for the mountain range
of Wyvern Tor, around 6 am, looking for Orc raiders from the splintered Many
Arrows tribe, whom were chased away by a young white dragon from their home in
Icespire Peak. It’s a hike mainly through
plains and then foothills, reaching the foothills of Wyvern Tor in about 8
hours time (2 pm). It’s about 3 hours into the hike when the adventurers
encounter a group of five hobgoblins coming from the south. Hobgoblin #03 says, “Well now,
what brings you folks out here?” Roqar says, “We were looking for
a band to join.” Hobgoblin #03 says, A band? Ha!
Are you all musicians? I haven’t seen any bards roaming the woods around these
parts!” Roqar says, “Naw, not bards,
mercenaries.” Hobgoblin #03 says, “You could
join us if you pledge fealty to King Grol. Would you pledge your life to
protect the Cragmaw tribe?” Roqar says, “How about it guys?
We join this band and go meet King Grol?” This is the first time that the
leader of the Cragmaw tribe is mentioned by name. Prior, only some of the party
members knew the tribe was ambushing the Triboar trail west of Phandalin. These
hobgoblins have shields with the Cragmaw emblem upon them. Xar’Tharkas, rolls his shoulders
and brandishes his glaive, says, “ Not joining some beast King, thanks, and you
can find what your fealty gets you at the tip of my spear…” With that, a fight begins here,
so initiative rolls are made and Combat Round #01 begins! Willie, quickly takes Hobgoblin
#06 out, after firing an arrow from his long bow, dealing 11 hit points of
piercing damage! Xar’Tharkas, swings his glaive, at
Hobgoblin #03, slashing him for 5 damage! Prayn, fires a bolt from the light
crossbow but it goes south east of Hobgoblin #03, and didn’t hit anyone else. Hovac the giant badger, missed
Hobgoblin #03, trying to bite him! Eimong, tries to punch (unarmed
strike), Hobgoblin #03, only to get deflected by the hobgoblin’s shield! Roqar, swings her short sword at

long swords, long bow with quivers of arrows, pouches of coins and a piece of
parchments with orders to co-ordinate a raid on Conyberry during the next full
moon, with the Many Arrows Orc Tribe! [Prior to this it has only been Orcs
raiding the town]. It’s 5 more hours of hiking when
they get into the foothills of Wyvern Tor, and the party finds something within
the first hour after arriving.
The
faint smell of smoke hangs on the air as you ascend a rugged ridge on the lower
slopes of the hill. Fifty yards away, a cave mouth opens up at the bottom of a
ravine. Hunkered down by a boulder twenty yards outside the cave, keeping
watch, is a single orc.
