SESSION 302: Siege on the Gangrenous Pt. XXXIX – The Long Road Home Pt. III -
The Long Walk in the Snow
Plans came and then they went so did our band northward to Liwil.
Day 290 thru 300 (19.29 Hob->14.23 Liwil): During the stay in Hob many ideas were formulated as well as pursued and paid for much to Raul’s chagrin but sometimes the road is circuitous. The final outcome came from talking to the right pair of very tall nomads with an ox. Bromus and Fescus were horse-folk. Tall and strong were these people that were another bit of legacy from the gene pits of the Crocodile Kings of many ages past. They were an odd pair but they were certain that Carrot, their ox, would be able to both carry the mountain of loot and Sasha’s petrified body through the deep snows to Liwil.
During this time the gang also went to the local church. A place of ancient construction a well maintained, from a time when these lands were much more populated (Skeldrane Empire). Now it was a church of Yrrg and they were well received. It seems that news of their deeds had travelled from Helix. Brother Cliff was a patriarch in an odd place. There was also a paladin present going through the process of purification and spiritual grounding. He was of few words at this time as his prayers were tantamount. Back to Brother Cliff. He felt strongly that civilization would return to these lands and the presence of the ‘Heroes of Barrowmaze’ was just another sign to support this. Bro Cliff intently listened to our mob’s plan to build a new empire out of the wilderness. He gave blessing and some nice little helpers for the journey.
The trip played out in their favour.
Perhaps Yrrg was in their court.
Sure there was a forest fire but they trekked along the grasslands.
Forced to rest for a day due to heavy snows did not sink spirits.
There was also an earthquake but they were in the hills without worry of falling objects.
Yes they ran into a hobgoblin raiding party but they are just overgrown goblins, you would need a heck of a lot more to stop the hobo train.
Maybe they almost intersected with a bunch of rotten brigands but those guys turned tail and ran as soon as they saw the hobo horde.
The trip worked out very well. Perhaps that’s planning?
They rolled towards the gates of Liwil through the mining camp from where Felix made an appearance. “Well I have some questions for you all..”. They were happily distracted as Bromus and Fescus spoke up, “Our journey ends here. We will unload your goods and make camp around the outside wall. We shall be there until the wind calls us back to Eros”.
After unloading they took final payment and made haste out of the cluttered shanty town outside the gate.
“Well I wonder what’s new in Liwil?”, Boris mused as he once more set eye on something familiar for the first time in a long time.
“Let us find out”, was Raul’s simple response.

Join us for session Three-Hundred-and-Three when we ask the questions:
Wow, can we now say the Siege on the Gangrenous is finally over after a meager 39 episodes?
There. Right there is Liwil. What will we do next?
Are our chums in town (nobody likes Felix)?
Have we learned that Winter isn’t for adventure?
Have we learned that rather than trying to mooch everyone we meet for supplies we should have we should be manufacturing said things in advance?
Who was that large gang of individuals that appeared to be human?
Tale of the Tape
Things went rather smoothly, monsters seem to also be on Winter break.
Sasha is still a brick
