Ruins of Thundertree - Part 2

12pm: The party noticed that the pervading mist seems to dissipate slightly due to the overhead sun.
Arwen and Thorrk is still having their afternoon rest in the ruined house, after the exhausting fight with the spiders.

1pm: The party decides to take a short rest. Oskar and Myarmos proceeds to tend their wounds and Skye serene a song of rest to the party to speed up the healing process.

2pm: They explored the ruined house to the south and encountered 2 ash zombie. Orbit slaughtered both of them quite efficiently. A quick search around the house reveals nothing of use.

As they explored further east, they came across a small farmhouse with all the doors shut and windows shuttered. Oskar knocks on the door and someone from within answered, asking the group to go away.

Skye took over and ask if the person or persons behind the door heard about a majestic dragon nesting somewhere around the area. That question about the dragon result in some hush and urgent whispering. The voice behind the door told the group to wait while he go fetch their leader Favric.

A moment later the bolt behind the door unlocks and the door opens......

(Screams and shouts can be overheard in the background... talking about sleeping and stop playing....)

So we continue next time.

What's with Orbit's amnesia?

Seriously, what is with his amnesia?
He appeared out of no where, he does not know who he was and he speaks in a foreign language which he later claims its Equestrian.
We see him, at best, as a speaking pony with wings; (should we even call him a pegasus?) Later on, he claims he is a Pennate Pegasus... What the heck is a Pennate Pegasus; (should he even be called a pegasus?)
He fight with skills of our fighter class but uses his mouth to wield his broadsword. This is an impossibility IMO. Don't ask me how he wields a crossbow.... don't go there....
A creature such as this will surely catch the eyes of the enemies. An impossibility that traverse our lands surely will cause the party trouble in the near future...
We, the Despicable will do anything to protect him from harm's way. He is one of us, and we believe he will do the same in his strange foreign way. But it is frustrating that he choose not to seek the Nose Ring as suggested by Agatha! Why court danger when there is a way to avoid it?
So, seriously, what's with his amnesia? Is there something he knows that we don't?

Ruins of Thundertree

Team: Arwen, Orbit, Myarmos, Oskar, Skye and Thorrk

10am: The adventurers has a short rest after the grueling fight with the Orcs and Ogre. They decided to spend some time to discuss on the past events and plans for the coming battle with the Dragon as mentioned by Reidoth the Druid.

11am: The party decided to step outside the ruins, through the gaping hole created by the Ogre. As they approached the building to the south east, Thorrk saw that the entrance to the ruins is completely filled with webs! Orbit flew up to check and reveals two spiders hiding in the western room. Oskar rushed in and got caught in the spider's web. One of the spider climbed over the wall and start attacking Oskar. The other spider climbed outside and rushed towards Myarmos, bites him and subsequently poisoned him. Thorrk turns into a bear and mauls the spider that was attacking Myarmos.
spiders hiding, awaiting to ambush the party!

The party managed to kill both spiders, but Myarmos was paralyzed and close to death. Oskar was hurt badly too.

Thorrk and Skye murmurs healing word and heals Myarmos to health.

Skye search the rooms and found a cocooned corpse in the western room. Searching the corpse, he found some coins and a potion of healing.

The session ended as shown on the left.

What the Orcs know about Thorrk

After the brutal interrogation of the last surviving orc, the following are what he knows:

1. Bounty on Thorrk is 1000gp
2. Thorrk's father (unknown) is the one that puts up the bounty.
3. Thorrk's father accused Thorrk for killing his wife; Thorrk's mother (also unknown).
4. The bounty notice was put up on all Orc's settlement.

Oskar Ironfist

The Silent Fighter

Race : Mountain Dwarf
Class : Fighter
Level : 3

After a history of substance abuse, Oskar fell into the world of crime, acting as hired muscle for various gangs and and plots...

Before being arrested and locked in prison for a standard sentence to reflect on his ways, which was, in that town, a nice way of saying pain and torture

Being set free was... an arduous process. Usually he'd be sent off after another year or so, but a letter was sent in, ordering he be set free.

Turns out, 'free' meant working for a shady party, to spy on a less shady party, but anything would do to escape the hellish prison.

Myarmos

Tiefling from Neverwinter slums

Race : Tiefling
Class : Warlock
Level : 3

Myarmos is a Tiefling who grew up in the slums of Neverwinter. He was abandoned by his parents shortly after his birth, and left outside on the streets wrapped in a coarse blanket.

He would’ve died of the cold if it wasn’t for a hunched old man who decided to take him in. The old man, a carpenter, brought him up in a tiny little house in the slums. Under his care, Myarmos grew up until the age of 6, which the old man was too weak and sick to continue to care for him.

One day, a thief broke into their home. The old man begged the man to leave the house as there was nothing in it, but was ignored. In the ensuing struggle, the thief pulled out a knife and stabbed the old man. He left quickly after, grabbing what worthless items he could find. Myarmos was there, watching the whole incident as it took place.

Young Myarmos was shellshocked, but he had no choice but to leave the house. He managed to survive on the streets on scraps from food stalls and unwanted clothes, until the age of 16.

One dark night, Myarmos discovered a warlock performing a ritual in one of the twisted alleys of the slums. The warlock incapacitated him, and brought him back to her settlement.

The warlock, Chrya, took him in, like the old man before her. She gave him the name ’Myarmos", as he had none. Chrya believed that Myarmos has great potential in the field of the occult, so she took it upon herself to train him as a warlock. Myarmos always did her bidding and never questioned her motives- he had finally found some sense of belonging.

One day, Myarmos found Chrya’s home ransacked upon returning from an errand. The master warlock was nowhere in sight. Tracing her magical essence, Myarmos managed to track her until the Stonehill inn.

Fearing that the kidnappers were too powerful for him to handle alone, Myarmos approached a group of adventurers.

Argent Skye

Wrong Gender

Race : Half-Elf
Class : Bard
Level : 3

Born and raised in a decent family in Melvaunt, he left his home after his family died in a fire when he was quite young. It was arson, fire set by debt collectors. Picking up whatever he could, he ran along a road out of the city, and followed it to Phlan over the course of a week.

Upon reaching Phlan, the boy was exhausted and starving. With what little money he had left, he fed himself and lurked around the city looking for opportunities, to work, to steal, whatever, as long as it kept him fed.

Eventually, the young man met a conman by the road. Taken in as a helper after witnessing one of his crimes, he stuck with him, helped him and eventually learned from him as an apprentice. Afterwards, using a false identity, he kept himself fed as a charlatan for years.

One day, he was caught, and was taken to prison where he was beaten and tortured mercilessly by the sadistic guards. By the time he had been released, the only thing keeping him from giving up on life was the bipolar syndrome which he had developed in there.

After he was released, he picked up a talent for music, and performed as a bard at a tavern, Lady Fiona's Tea Kettle - The very same one where his life as an adventurer began.

Currently, he wishes to rid himself of his troublesome bipolar syndrome. He has no qualms with his avarice though, hence his ideal, "Greed is good".

It does not know why it was abandoned, or who was it’s parents was. The only thing It knows was its golden medallion hung around his neck, encrusted with the shimmering glow of a full moon.

A pack of wolves had come across it, looked upon it in disgust, deciding to end the creature of its misery. However, the medallion shone brightly, in a glimpse, their demeanour changed. They picked up the young half-orc creature, and brought to be raised as their own.
