Buzz Off (Session 336)

SESSION 336: Yeow that Stings!, Murderers meet Murder 

Day 843 Continued (Old CampàNew Camp 15.22): Bimbles has now strangely begun to think like our peg-legged wizard. He ordered the base camp to moved south so they could better clear the hex. Raul and Sasha took a couple of the guards to find just the right spot.

 

Day 844 (New Camp 15.22à16.22 0405/0305/0206/0205): Cloudy. They started the day with a visit to the cyclops. Aside from the goats and grapes it appeared no one was in. They, easily, cleared the adjacent sub-hexes of lairs and things. Yes, it was very easy. It seems nothing wants to live near a twenty foot goliath, something to do with filling its belly I would guess.

 

Day 845 (Campà16.22 0306/0407): Clear. Things were going well until they sighted the (a?) cyclops on the far side of the Kirkikit river and attempted to get its attention. Racing towards the river bank and shouting did not get the big goober’s attention but did rile a nest of giant hornets. As the goliath lumbered along we were swarmed and it turned out to be a messy engagement. Fortunately it was hornets rather than wasps whom have a deadly poison versus just extremely painful.

 

 
 

The hive was awakened and absolutely inclined towards murder. Nara quickly activated an inertial barrier to protected the main group but this left the fragile scout team exposed. Herbert and Willy were immediately in trouble. The gnome was able to make a dash and then disappear into the underbrush. Wily was not so lucky, he activated Agolloch’s teleport ability with insufficient spatial awareness. He was free of his two hornets but was now sixty feet in the air and falling fast. He quaffed a potion and hoped the trees below would break his fall rather than his body. He bounced off  couple of trees before hitting the dirt. Amazingly only mostly dead, he went invisible and then passed out for the duration. The hornets moved their attention to the main group. Raul took the risk of activating his special belt, releasing chaos! It was helpful except that it affected their tank Camillus and she immediately took a swing at Bimbles. 

Don’t worry little ones the tide did eventually change and our hobos gained the upper hand and then eradicated the nasty dog-sized blighters. The fight largely ruined the day other than the post battle looting. Not much beyond some gold teeth and an interesting black iron key, somewhere something is waiting to be opened. They limped back to camp.

 

Day 846 (Campà16.22): Clear. Today on their way deeper into the hex, for more clearing, they ran into their currently friendly cyclops acquaintance ‘Cyclopsy’, “Hey you guys!”. It seems that relations had maintained the giant was happy to talk. Bimbles and Raul told him that he had to move. He said he was not the boss and they really like the box canon. Flim-Flam was, along with Margot the ‘lady’ of the troupe. Raul tried some intimations of stuff to get Cyclopsy’s assistance but the brute was notably less sharp than our dummies Steve and Sloth. He did somehow negotiate the acquisition of the non-boulder and non-carcass materials in Cyclopsy’s sack. It ended with the giant continuing his return to the box canyon but also to petition his boss to comply with the hobos demand for vacating the premises. Our gang followed behind as best they could.
