An Unexpected Encounter (Session 193)

 SESSION 193: How do we get to the Treasure?

Things started with a host of almost perfectly camouflaged giant spiders raining down from the thick canopy. 

Day 60– Continued (14.20- 0305/0306 (HEX CLEARED)/0206à13.20-0706 – SPIDERS! ): A dozen crab spiders the size of hefty sheep rained down upon our hobos. Except for somehow succeeding in poisoning Gurn of all folks the ambush was unsuccessful and the trail of dead monsters grew. The spiders were transients and once more the hobos were robbed of any pay aside from clearing the hex.

Day 61– Cloudy (13.20- 0706/0704/0604/0603): Today back in Gormandia, Bimbles led a force towards the future location of the Blood River ferry. Our group continued along the northern extent of the hex slowly clearing their way towards meeting with Bimbles’s group. They ran into another orc warband moving through a gulley. The pig-men didn’t really stand a chance with our mob doing death from above. The orcs were oddly heavily laden with loot. The gang took this as a boon rather than wondering about the origins of numerous sacks of coin. That evening they heard bells off in the distance to the west.

Day 62– Clear (13.20- 0603/0503 (Chasm)/0404/0303): Today there were more crab spiders to kill. Steve did not mind as he thought they tasted like chicken. An hour or so later, a large chasm was discovered. Dolec and Sasha were convinced that this was the location of the treasure on the map. The crevasse was both long and deep. Very deep. Beyond 100’ and way beyond what Saffron could be convinced to explore. It was decided that the chasm was currently beyond safe exploration. They pressed on. That evening they once more heard bells but much closer.

Day 63– Cloudy (13.20- 0303/0304): The source of the bells was discovered early in the day. A trader, Razmuth, had camped along with his horses and covered wagon that was adorned in finely crafted hanging bells that gently chimed with the breeze. “Hello travellers. Come share my fire and some repast. After which we can discuss the civilized practice of trade for solutions”. Even though they were not far beyond breakfast they felt more hungry than expected. Time moved oddly or things took much more time than expected. Before they knew it the sun was waning and Razmuth pointed out that it only made sense if the hobos spent the evening at his camp for it was very safe. They agreed once more. 

For some reason the denizens of the wilder lands seemed not take to notice of Razmuth, or perhaps gave extra berth. Odd, but not considered worrisome.
