SESSION 275: Meanwhile…
Back on our dimension prime we check-in on the other goobers, they screwing stuff up too!
Day 225 (15.21/0505àBlind Basilisk): Early morning. If things go well we need two days to finish clearing this hex… The unnaturally warm temperature the last couple of days woke those that should be resting. A host of giant ants attacked the camp in the dead of night. It was a slaughter for both the hobos (the killers), accompanying medium mounted unit and the ants (the killed). Just a huge mess.
They would retreat back to the guard post and await Carla. Why you ask? Well she had a ‘magical change of mind resulting in her concurrently moving towards the Blind Basilisk outpost’.
Day 226 (Blind Basilisk): Clear. Carla, Charles and a bunch of mercs roll into the outpost.
Day 227 (Blind Basiliskà15.21/0307à0405/0504/0604/0704): Cloudy & cold. Rolling pout once more to clear that pesky hex just over there. There was a reason for the ant attack. A hole in that hill over there contained a nest. Fight. Fight. Fight. The nest was cleared and we got a bunch of fat gold nuggets. Thanks dead ants!
Day 228 (15.21/0704/0703/0603/0503/0403/0303/0404): Cloudy & cold. The hex clearing train continues to roll along. It was mostly smooth, until those giant lizards attacked. Too bad for them that Bunny’s keen eye caught signs well in advance. They were nice enough to provide a bunch of gems stones. Thanks dead lizards!
Moving on to the final sub-hex. This was the head waters of the Kirkikit River. Why was it called the Kirkikit? Well, that was because Kirkikit was the steward of the fresh and clear waters. Who or what is Kirkikit you ask. Kirkikit is a frog-like demihuman entity of methuselahian age that in essence was the spirit of the river. Kirkikit did communicate in a bit of a circular manner but was aware of our ‘benevolent’ endeavours, killing orcs and other sources of pollution and despair. They stayed the night alongside the river and gleaned bits of knowledge from froggy. They promised to protect Kirkikit’s home and not infringe. Froggy liked this and assured them that fresh and clear water would always flow from the Kirkikit as long as there was Kirkikit.
Day 229 (15.21/0404àBlind Basilisk): Cloudy & cold. With the hex cleared they returned to base.
