* | * The party prepares to cross the pass, breaking the cart down into a minium size while preserving its hardest-to-replicate pieces. | ||
* | * The trail is ill-maintained, and the weather is harsh: Severely hot, then severely cold, sometimes in the same day. The first half takes several days. | ||
** | ** The weather and lack of appropriate gear forces exhaustion checks at increasing DC every few hours. | ||
** Bobwhite gets hypothermia one night | ** Near the top, Bobwhite gets hypothermia one night. The party spends the next day burning some cart and making a shelter to wait for better weather while he recovers. | ||
* | * Continuing, the party manages to save some time on a game trail. | ||
** | ** They get a choice: Skip an exhaustion check, or gamble it on hunting goats. Party chooses the latter, gets hides and food for the effort. The hides make checks easier. | ||
* | * They hit the highest point of the pass shortly after. The view is beautiful. | ||
* Shortly after, | * Shortly after, they run two hobgoblins who don't immediately eat them (it turns out to actually be two hobgoblins and some large number of hiding hobgoblins/kobolds/goblins in a defensive ambush position). | ||
** | ** They invite the gang to come visit their monastery (monastery?!?), which intrigues them enough to accept. | ||
** | *** Long story short, the Servitors are [http://wiki.memphisgamers.com/index.php?title=Gubism Gubbites]. | ||
** The curse compels Banner and Four to seek out someone who has never heard of Gubism every day in civilization. It also gives them the ability to take monk levels, without meeting any | *** Their Master was told by her Master to settle here from Monstertown [ed: they actually have a different name for it, I just don't remember], as a bulwark against Goodly Races and gnolls from the east. | ||
* The Gubbites give the party some nice | ** The party gets a nice bath. Then, in the presence of the Master, they drink some weird-ass stuff. Bobwhite pukes everywhere, Banner and Four come out with a curse, it was a hell of a trip. | ||
* | ** The curse compels Banner and Four to seek out someone who has never heard of Gubism every day spent in civilization. It's not all bad, though: it also gives them the ability to take monk levels, without meeting any statistical prerequisites. | ||
* Very near the bottom, they find tracks. | * The Gubbites give the party some nice traveling clothes and send them on their way. | ||
** | * The way down is much faster, and the clothes also make it much more pleasant. They make good time and suffer little hypothermia. | ||
** Each halfling wears a ''papier-mâché'' helmet with a circle cut out in the front. Their faces are painted white within the circle, with a black area in the center. | * Very near the bottom, they find tracks: Demihumans traveling with two large, shambling bipeds. Obviously, they have to check it out | ||
*** (it is supposed to look like a beholder. It definitely looks weird) | ** They find halflings with ogre zombie pets. The ogre zombies are in terrible shape, and had already obviously seen fighting. | ||
** One has a fancier helmet with more stalks than the others. | ** Each halfling wears a ''papier-mâché'' helmet in a spherical shape with a circle cut out in the front. Their faces are painted white within the circle, with a black area in the center. | ||
** | *** (it is supposed to look like a beholder, not that anyone in the party necessarily knows what that is. It definitely looks weird) | ||
** One has a fancier helmet with more stalks than the others. Whatever occupies the end of the stalks are evidently some kind of consumable. | |||
** Battle ensures! The party re-kills some ogres, kills a couple of halflings (kinslayers!!) for the first time, and Banner repeatedly pushes the head cultist violently downhill until he dies. Also, Bartley makes up a ''sick'' pun (the leader of the nasty halfling beholder cultists is a ''[[Hand Halflings|hand]]-[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beholder_(Dungeons_%26_Dragons) eye] coordinator'', getit? | |||
