Murder Domain the Sequel - Gormandia! (Session 189)

 SESSION 189: Gormandia Ho!                   

Wherein the gang is once more redistributed and the fingers of influence and exploration expand deeper into the wilderlands. In particular to commence with the home hex of the future site of Gormandia!

 Day 40 – (14.23 -Liwilà14.22 - Greenland): With the brief amount of free time at Ding-We’s disposal he was irritating (almost like he is becoming like every other wizard) and realigned the exploration team one more time. The team set out for Greenland before Ding-We could muck with anything else.

Day 41 – (14.22 à14.21à 14.20): Travel day

Day 42 – (14.20à13.19-0608): Arrival in destination hex

Day 43 – (13.19- 0608/0507/0408/0307/0407): Today was clear and crisp – a fine time for exploration. A strange tooth like rocky geological anomaly was a home to hundreds of bats. Mason spoke with them and learned of manticores lairing to the west. The hot tip was taken and the gang moved on looking to clear the first lair in the possible future land of Gormandia. The manticore nest was not all that hard to find. The bats had given excellent direction and rocky areas in the middle of forests tend to be a preferred place to lair. The slobbering band crept up on the lair and setup for an ambush. 

A deep cut ravine exposing a rocky wall and on side a large hole. Bones and debris littered the dry channel. Wendul wasted no time and prepared magical bolts to pummel whatever came forth. Our hobos taunted the gaping stony maw. This lured out the arrogant occupants. A pair of manticores surprised by real opponents whom immediately let forth a volley of assorted misses. The beasts took to wing. Saffron immediately bumbled the brains of one while the other, enraged released its own volley of barbed missiles. Poor monsters did not last long. Creeping up the steep slope and into the cavern it was full of delights, filth and the stink of large predators. Gold, gems, jewelry, potions and even a treasure map it was a good heist.

Afterwards the gang pressed on to the next subhex to camp. The night was uneventful except for the five giant tarantulas that ambushed our campers. After some uncontrollable dancing Steve had the things on the fire for a midnight snack, “Hey deez things tase like chicken! Dig in”.
