Team Alfa Third Session: Difference between revisions

==Notes==

The night's rest was interrupted by a loud explosion set off by an electrical blast that left a flame and foul smelling smoke behind.

A voice in the darkness implored us to put down our weapons.

It turns out to be a naked woodsperson named Bashir or "Batshit" to his friends. He's covered in tattoos, quite filthy, and smells of excrement. He's an acquaintance and dragon chess partner of PD's and is willing to put the word out to the dervish community to help find the goblins we are after. He also hands over a large "problem solver" which he thinks might help us get PD back if we get into a pinch.

The next morning we head out on the tracks of the orcs led by Cinder's dog Tim. The first day of tracking finds us not gaining any ground on the small party of orcs. The party decides to push on into the night and gets two more hours of progress before Thola's exhaustion has reached the point where she can no longer move at her full speed an the party stops to rest.

The next day the party strikes out at an increased pace, but at the higher speed Tim and Cinder miss spotting a trap that hoists them up into the air in a net. A clattering of bells and noises accompanies the springing of the trap.

The party moves to either help or be on the lookout. Cinder cuts himself and Tim out of the net, but Tim is knocked out by the fall. Quynh who was up in the tree to cut them down looks up and sees something and scampers off drawing weapon and taking cover. Wolf seeing that tosses a shield of faith on Quynh and moves forward also drawing weapons. The rest of the party moves up similarly and Thola coming in last gets eyes on an ogre dervish and blasts it with eldritch energy. The ogre moves up and skewers Thola with a critical javelin throw.

After a much needed rest, Thola uses detect magic to help determine the potions are potions of healing. Cinder and Quynh each take one.

We set out again at a fast pace and near sunset the orc have multiplied. We forced march into the night and after two extra hours both Wolf and Gorra are starting to feel the effects of exhaustion. The tracks however, are now very fresh and the sound of a man crying can be heard in the woods up ahead. It sounds like the orcs are about a 100 yards ahead.

Gorra continues the crossbow attacks and misses.

Quynh finally gets a hit in for the party and takes down an orc.

Cinder misses his attack on the last orc.
