 The Recruits

The party was hired by the fighter's guild to located Harold Dannan who had gone missing along with his daughter, and his farm/keep had become a bandit camp. The party believed Harold to be dead.

The party investigated the keep and saw that there was indeed a bandit camp here made up of his own guards and many unemployed fighters from the fighter's guild. A half black dragon was trying to recruit them to join his army. 

The party came in and disbursed the bandits, and located Harold Dannan in his basement. He had located a centaur in the woods and forced her to take him home, but upon coming home found a bandit camp in his house. The centaur and him were taken prisoner, and they discovered that the centaur was channeling a succubus, who they forced to grant profane bonuses to them.

The party negotiated with Harold to forget the past and left him in charge of his estate- and the centaur.

The Survivors

Vesper was approached by Sparhawk who demanded to know why she was spreading rumors about him. The conversation was cut short with Constable Nobbs let him know that they found a serial killer who was killing a bunch of kids. 

They went to the watch house where a crowd was gathered. The watch wasn't letting anyone unauthorized in, but the rumors is they found an orc in the sewer doing magical rituals on dead bodies. Pending began a political process to become a lawyer on behalf of the orc, and the party began to investigate.

They learned that the Orc (Scarring Soul) was in the sewer and escaped the guards only to be attacked on the streets by the Minotaur. The guards found him before the Minotaur could finish the job and arrested him. In the sewer he was working with an unhallowed altar with various runes. The guards there also mentioned that they had not accounted for all the missing bodies. A mage's guild expert was brought in to interrogate the orc and investigate his possessions. 

Foul Ron mentioned that the girl Julie was taken by a reaper ghost several nights ago, and that it burned her body away. That night, Shaking Spear attempted to break Scarring Soul out of prison, but was unable, and the party helped her escape the guards. She said that Scarring Soul came here a few weeks ago to investigate a disturbance. As they were talking, a Reaper came for Scarring Soul. When Pending tried to intervene, it summoned another reaper to fight him. While Pending and team fought off his reaper, the original killed Shaking Spear, burning her entire body away, then it vanished. 

... To be continued. 

Session 10 8/20/21

 Djinni Unlamped

The party was approached by Albert Coin who had a special magical ring stolen from him. He was broke- he had no other money to offer them, but insisted the ring was important, and that "the priestess" said they could help him.

By pressing the issue they learned that the ring had an efreeti named Djinn bound to it, and it was stolen by a wizard who would be using its service to grant wishes. They also learned that Albert was in love with the efreeti and did not want the ring for making wishes.

The party used a familiar's feather to scry on the wizard and identify that he was far away in Osirius. They teleported there and battled the wizard, who had used 2 of his daily wishes already. They captured the ring and had Djinn take them back to Coin. He wanted to free Djinn but cold not- the ring required an Efreeti and only by killing him could he escape servitude- but Coin wished to take his place as the bound efreeti. After his wish was granted he proposed  to Djinn using the ring, and they went off to the realm of fire together.

Before they left, Albert and Djinn granted their last daily wishes to the party (5 total) in thanks for helping them find true love. 

Session 9 7/30/21

 The Shelter-

Penny Escher from the artificer's guild reached out to Pending, upset that he has stolen their plans for the mousetrap and costing them a several million GP contract. They demanded that his team go explore an ancient ruin with their researcher to discover lost secrets of the ancient world as payment.

The party agreed and met up with Wan Delver, a goblin gunslinger and grandson of Ivan Dogeater, thus a quarter elven. They came to an underground bunker where they found some damaged power supplies. Wan was able to repair it which restored energy to the facility, where an AI named Atropos was there to seal them in the compound. 

They explored the ruin and found it to be a high-tech living facility for ancient humans to live while the world was covered in radiation. Inside they discovered XI, a massage-robot, and Prometheus, an advanced prototype. They defeated the security and were able to disable Atropos and recover the data from the memory banks for the artificer's guild. 

Wan was very interested in Nantar, another adventuring goblin- insisting that there are too few of them, and that they need to stick together against the descrimination they find amongst "civilized" society.
