SESSION 27: Keep on Chooglin’ (1Aug16)
Leaving the burning bridge behind the horde make double time for a place to rest. A cold camp is made just off the road the night passes uneventfully. The morning begins with the claxon of a horn in the distance. Saffron quickly flies off to set up a decoy camp as the rest of the gang prepares an ambush. Amazingly it works. A web dismounts one hunter another falls to the grip of hold person and the third hunter learned what a murderhobo gangbang feels like. They fell upon the hunters like cannibalistic primates no suffering was too much. Sloth eviscerates one of the horses as he launches from the underbrush with his lance. As quickly as it started it was over. Let the looting commence!
Pressing northward, as directed, the hobos discover a giant oak with a man-sized passage in it. Once inside they discover a chamber darkened and yet clearly larger than the tree should be. A pair of piercing yellow eyes watches from the darkness followed by a disembodied voice gives greeting. Stepping forth is an ethereal fox, “So you want to get out of here? Well I got me a hankering for some sacrifices”. Eventually a deal was sealed and our mob gains possession of the first keystone returning them to the maze as if they had never left.
To the next portal they went. A mountainous place offering a precarious trail that leads to a fortress to claim the second keystone. A number of hours later the trail leads into a tight valley. This would be a great place for the imminent ambush to occur. From above two giants hurdle boulders to pin the party down as a horde of orks spill from a cave and two ogres join from the side. Further boulders fly but they miss the mark and the grunts are two disorganized to hit their targets and so our hobos spring to action. The orcs are dropped by duel casted sleep spells and Rufus proves that ogres are still just a snack. With the ambush filing the giants leap into the fray, swinging tree sized clubs. I presume that maybe their eyesight (depth perception) wasn’t all that great. This gave the party the chance to swarm and topple the pair with relative ease. After some looting we moved on. A day and a half later the trail narrows to 3’ pass that drops a 1000’ into the unknown abyss. Another great place for the unwary to be ambushed and so no one really noticed the horde of stirges until they were upon the party. Luck and strong magic sent the bloodsuckers to their end. Unfortunately this allowed a second flock from below to get the jump. Proboscises punched into flesh, Calvin swung wildly as one began to drink from his thigh causing him to loose his footing and begin tumbling to his doom. Bunny, Sloth and Rahgnar all forgot about personal safety and leapt towards Calvin as he rolled towards certain death. He was grabbed at the last possible second. The fight continued but the party motivated by luck and good fortune brought things to an end and made double time to get past this perilous pass. Wounds were bandaged and brows were wiped, not much further now…
