When Hobos and Hermit Meet, You Just Get Another Wacko (Session 185)

 SESSION 185: Land Shark Ho and Other Findings in the Wilds!

 Hex clearing the lands around our first future stronghold.

Day 8 – Mild Rain and Wind continues (15.22 -05003/04003/03003/04004): Recovering from the night of the ghoulish wolves the troupe packed up camp and returned to the task at hand of hex clearing. The day was on the miserable side as the inclement weather system was in no rush to break. The day was dotted by a couple of encounters. The first was with a land shark that was able to prove that the bulettes are fearsome beasts able to dish out some big wallops. After the battle the party harvested some of the beast’s heavy armor like hide in hopes of one day using as a component. The gang was now feeling closer to beaten up than fresh and so they decided to return to Greenland (Carla-ville) to fully recover. This journey brought them upon the second encounter. It was an orc warband bearing an unknown mark – Gnashers. The orcs attempted to play from range until they began trading arrows with magic volleys, then they died. The looting was better than expected. A pile of gold and copper the latter of which would be thrown at the sub-humans.. err the little people. After burning the bodies the exploratory team returned to Greenland.

Day 9 & 10 – Mild Rain and Wind and continues (14.22 - Greenland): Rest, recovery and even a little bit of planning.

Day 11– Mild Rain and Wind still around (14.22 à 15.22 03004/02006/03005/04005/04006:Cleared hex): Healed up the team returned to the adjacent hex to finish clearing it in the name of Carla the Green Matriarch of TMB! The job went by efficiently and also netted them a mule deer buck that netted 65 lbs. of meat. They decided to return to Liwil to distribute the deer meat and copper as well as confer with Ding-We as to the next step.   

Day 12 & 13 – Cloudy (15.22 à14.23 Liwil): Ding-We didn’t have much to say other than he had no time to talk much as all his energy was going into distilling the essence of basilisk gizzard into a functional restorative ointment. He did make one suggestion however, why not explore further north into the future influence zone of Gormandia?

Day 14 – Cloudy (14.23 Liwilà14.22 Greenland or Carlaville or Stinkberg): The exploration group returned to Greenland to before heading north.

Day 15 – Clear (14.22 Greenland à14.21 – 05007/06008/07007/07006/07005): Setting out the data collection crew entered into the hex immediately north of Greenland. The first sub-hex was occupied by a giant wasp nest that became whipped up rather quickly. It was decided to be avoided for the time being. Moving north along the eastern edge of the hex they first discovered a fairy standing stone structure, most likely a portal to the Pallid Fields for those that knew how to use it. A mile later they encountered a mad hermit, Tontim whom did provide some information when he was not babbling. He had a hermit hole a mile further north that overlooked a lake that was home to something that eats many things except for Tontim himself. Moving along the hermit’s cave was discovered and the lake was observed from afar. The lake gave up no secrets, whatever that dwelled there would remain a mystery for now. 

Day 16 – Cloudy (14.21 – 07005/08005/07004/07003/06003à14.20 – 06003/05007)The explorers continued to move north along the eastern hex edge. Things were quieter than usual aside from discovering three stone grave markers can be found in this hex, inscribed with holy symbols and the following names: “Grimria” on the leftmost, “Venka Caa” on the central one, and “Unknown” on the rightmost. The tombstones were three feet tall and made from rectangular slabs of granite. They looked rough, as if fashioned by amateur hands, and are weathered and partially covered in lichen. Bimbles provided the sanctification of Spinning Stars just to make sure nothing arose and the group moved into the next hex doing some initial exploration before camping. It looked like we had reached the extent of the basilisk hills and would be moving through a shrub and deciduous woody vegetation complex. Travel may be slower be there was a satisfaction in not likely encountering more of the damnable namesakes of the hilly region.
