Session #001 The Edge of Nowhere Pt 1 [Thurs 10 April 03] |
|
-After exploring the town of Woodfork a bit first and purchasing supplies and gear, Nifft & Vi'lia make their way to Parlan's Supply Shop to inquire about his rat problem.
-They soon descend into the basement beneath Parlan's shop to hunt Badger-rats and recover Parlan's lost ring.
-After killing several Badger-rats, Vi'lia finds the ring and they return to the ground floor of Parlan's shop where Vi'lia returns it to Parlan. Vi'lia receives 50 gp as a reward.
-As Nifft & Vi'lia exit Parlan's shop they are attacked by two Orcs who have infiltrated the town. The Orcs are quickly dispatched.
-A bit later, talking to locals, Vi'lia discovers that Maneta Dy'nesles' daughter, Alisha is missing.
-Maneta Dy'nesles believes that the Orcs have kidnapped Alisha and taken her to the old ruins of Karna, north of the town.
-The Orcs have apparently left a note ("U BRING KEY TO WEL..ME TO KAR..A OR CUB DIES"), demanding the key to the old Karna temple vault in return for the child.
-Vi'lia informs Nifft that the town gates are locked at night. They must wait until morning to investigate the ruins.
-Vi'lia eyes Nifft as he proceeds to fiddle with the lock on the gate.
Vi'lia Saathlynthrial: [Talk] what are you DOING?
Nifft : [Party] wha?
Nifft : [Party] nothing
Nifft : [Party] nevermind
Nifft : [Party] um
Vi'lia Saathlynthrial: [Talk] *hmm* well, let's go
Nifft : [Party] let's look around
-Nifft & Vi'lia proceed to wander about the town and investigate the local inn while waiting for the sunrise of the new day.

Session #002 The Edge of Nowhere Pt 2 [Thurs 24 Apr 03] |
|
The town of Woodfork:
-Vi'lia & Nifft resupply and head north from the town again to search for Maneta Dy'nesles' missing daughter, Alisha, who was supposedly kidnapped by orcs [session #001].
-They cut a path through Fire Beetle and Orc as they continue northward into Karna.
-Eventually they find the ruined temple of Pelor and kill the Orc guards in and around the temple.
-A quick search of the temple and surroundings reveals no sign of Alisha, though.
-Vi'lia and Nifft are confused... They were warned that the temple was heavily trapped, yet they have actually met little resistance here. They search the entire area, killing more Fire Beetles in the process, but still find no sign of the girl.
-They eventually return to the town to resupply and further investigate Alisha's disappearance.
-Once back in Woodfork, they immediately return to the Temple of Pelor to ask Maneta Dy'nesles about her daughter's disappearance, but they gain no new information.
-Vi'lia & Nifft proceed to wander about Woodfork, talking to townsfolk and searching for clues, but they are still unable to learn anything new about the girl's disappearance.
-They decide to return to Karna and explore the area in more detail to determine if they have overlooked anything.
-Nifft & Vi'lia eventually arrive back at the ruined temple of Pelor. As Nifft prays at the statue of Pelor, Vi'lia discovers a trap door in the floor of the temple that they had somehow previously overlooked!
-They quickly descend into the dungeon to continue the search for the missing little girl.
-They fight off several Orcs and Badger-rats and press on through the dungeon, picking their way past the deadly spike traps.
-Finally, Vi'lia finds a clue! Alisha's teddybear is found lying on the floor in a gated corridor. Nifft picks open the gate and the pair presses on.
-After clearing their way though a couple of rooms of Orcs they suddenly run up against the Orc Leader!
-Vi'lia falls in battle, respawning on the surface, while Nifft is able to retreat from the Orcs.
-Nifft flees back towards the dungeon's entrance with the Orc Leader in close pursuit. He manages to lose the Orc Leader around a corner, just before running into the returning Vi'lia.
-The Orc Leader soon falls after a coordinated attack by Vi'lia & Nifft!
-Vi'lia finds a square key amoung the Orc Leader's possessions.
-The accumulated treasures from the dead Orcs and the Orc Leader are weighing Vi'lia & Nifft down. They decide to return to the town to sell off some junk and resupply.
-After picking up a few extra rusty orc axes, Nifft turns to find that several orcs have emerged from a trap door in the floor! He is quickly killed, plugged full of orc arrows before he even has a chance to react!
-Nifft descends into the dungeon again after respawning and meets Vi'lia in the corridor - The orcs are in pursuit! Vi'lia & Nifft retreat to the surface to fight another day!
-They make their way back to Woodfork, dispatching a few more Fire Beetles along the way.
