Lumpy Gravy (Session 226)

 SESSION 226 (Side Session): Siege on the Gangrenous Pt. 3 – Lumpy Gravy

Meanwhile up on the surface world: The B(oris)-Gang try to return to the village of the Gangrenous Orks but encounter a stinky obstacle.

 

Day 154 (14.23 Liwil): A good night’s rest with the Knights of the Basilisk in their keep was refreshing and came another healing session with the high priest of the Cult of the Basilisk Nihes Mes. This was followed with a lovely breakfast. Boris knew there were things to be completed so they packed up and prepared for the hike back to the slate mine and then back to siege warfare. 

 

Day 155 (14.22à14.23à14.22 Slate mine): The march to the mine took five hours. The gang decided to stay the night as they were still a couple of hours away from the rocky orc lair.

 

Day 156 (14.22à13.21): Another clear and cold day is another good day for war. They marched west into the orc blighted hills. About a mile out from the Orc-Rock the already cold day became a little colder as a frosty mist rolled down from the hills between. Feeling the bite they all tightened their cloaks just a bit. 

It was this distraction that allowed a host of ghasts and ghouls break into a fork formation and catch our hobos flat-footed. It was a sizable host, two units flanking with a soon to be determined spell casting boss ghast with body guards coming head on. Ghouls charged and the boss let loose a lightning bolt. This was already a ghastly situation and it took to an immediate downward spiral. The boss had both cover and a fine choice of magic. He followed up with confusion that addled Sasha, Sloth, Wendull and Willy before gleefully launching arcane bolts with abandon. Then the press of ghouls began taking effect, Gurn, Camillus and Sloth were taken out of the fight from the ghoulish touch. Raul and Rammer were able to hold the press while Boris leapt out of the fray to engage the boss ghast. With this the tide began to shift and attrition began to bite the undead. The gang won without any casualties but they took a serious beating, Wendull, Gurn and Camillus were in critical condition. There would be no raid today. Wounds were bandaged and the corpses looted – which resulted in an unexpected payday. Afterwards they made a hasty retreat back to secure lands. 

They went wee wee wee all the way back to Liwil.

 

Day 157 thru 163 (14.23 Liwil): Convalescing for seven days in the absence of clerics. On the morning of the eighth they would once more set out to finish the job – KILL the Gangrenous.
