Session 5 Recap: When we last left our adventurers, They were enjoying a little downtime after the downing of the underhanded Hag. Silas did some tinkering, making some new magical items and infusions for the party . Anima spent her time researching new spells, raising more dead, and crafting a gold covered skull to help cast a new spell, and Aton spent some time in the forest, sometimes with Anima, sometimes alone. On one of those times alone, he came across an ARC Ranger named Na’Nova, who also is a Tiefling ranger. They spent some time together, looking for more proof of passage up north of those mysterious creatures the Tasty Cakes saw several weeks before.

A couple days before the team was to meet at the Castle for Varrin’s birthday party, they were asked by Dryn to come to a private dinner with the Regent, where he thanked them personally for the efforts to save his daughter. They had a lovely meal and chat, and then the next day, it was Party Time! The party members spent the day, playing games and racing kids and adults in various games, and “donating” some money to Varrin’s savings, after which, everyone retired to the dining all. Several roast pigs and swans were served as well as drink. After a lovely speech by the Regent, there was a unholy scream from outside of the door, after which a Revenant burst through the door and screamed, “there you are,” while looking at the head table.

A fight in sues, where the undead creature is trying to get to the head table and the party is trying to take it down before it gets there. With some quick thinking and good rolls, they are able to keep the creature from its goal, who was Varrin. The party discovers that it was Clarence, the jester who Varrin killed over a month ago. An ARC Ranger by the name of Jax comes over and inspects the body and finds some little mushrooms on the skull of the Revenant. He is not sure what to make of that, only that it looks like the Revenant was “Helped along.”

The Party, Jax and the Regent retire to the war room, where they discuss while Jax was there. He states that he discovered where the possible site of the person responsible for the attack on Windred. He is not sure if the attack on Varrin or Windred is connected, but the regent decides that as the only lead, it must be investigated, and asked Team Tasty cakes to see what is going on in the Royal Ruins. As the discussion unfolded, Aton got more and more intense and decided that they had to get to this location as soon as possible. The Regent was able to get a carriage and driver to travel through the night and get them to the entrance of the Canyon.

We join the Tasty Cakes as they are getting ready to leave and get supplies ready for the mysteries that wait ahead.

Session Recap 4:

Last session saw the Tasty Cakes vanquishing the Underhanded Hag, and hopefully restoring Varrin to her old self. After counting the loots and dividing the treasure, the party headed back to the Manor and called Dryn to meet and gave him the update involving the encounter with the hag and her minions. He thanked the group for their efforts, paid them, and asked them to come celebrate with the royal family for Varrin 13th birthday party. The party accepted, and Dyan said they could keep the raven sending stone incase it was needed. The party had about 25 days until the party, and they spent it doing…?

Session 3 Recap: When we last left our adventures, It seemed themaid Zia wasn’t what she seemed. At the start of our last session, Team Tasty Cakes had finished asking questions around the castle, but they weren’t able to discover a smoking gun. They decided to head off to Manor Fallahir to see if they would have more luck talking to Zia and Varrin. After a quick journey by horse to the manor, upon arrival, they retired to a sitting room with Head of the Manor, Kalsey. She answered questions for the team, and had no problems with the party speaking to either Zia or Varrin, as Kalsey was one of the few that knew everything about the situation. While Aton and Anima went to talk to Zia who was in the kitchen getting ready to go out on a foraging trip, Silas went to go look at the rooms of both Zia and Varrin, with the permission of Kalsey of course. After a brief conversation with Zia, Aton offered to go on her foraging excursion to “help out” and Anima went to go talk to Varrin. Silas ruffled through both rooms, but the only item that stood out was a coin that was similar in shape to currency, but was actually something that allowed 2 people to be speak to eachother.

Anima’s conversation with Varrin was pretty one sided, she was obviously troubled by something, but just came across as distant, and every response was delivered with distain and distrust. Jumping over to Aton in the forest near the manor, he was picking blackberries with Zia and a group of others. After about an hour of picking, he was taking a load back to the cart, and when he came back…Zia was gone. He used his hunter mark to easily track her to a creek. When he picked up her trail on the other side, he discovered some blood, concerned for the safety of Zia, he continued to follow and found her tied up with 2 trolls looming over her! Aton ran back to the manor to get the other 2 party members, and went back and dispatched the trolls with ease, even though 2 skeletons fell in battle.

After the dust settled on the battle with the trolls, Zia was gone…yet again! They tracked them around a good size natural spring to a café entrance. And there stood Zia, her old wrinkled old lady face twisted by anger. “Those 2 louts didn’t kill you?! Grog N Nog, take care of them!”

Volume is still getting better, but man does this take a long time...

Recap of Session 2: Where we last left our adventures, they were investigating Castle Tallahfar, Looking for clue to what is going on with Varrin Thalar. They started last session heading back to town with Dyrn to start out on their journey to the city of Tarakorst. On the second day on their journey, while they were cooking quail eggs for breakfast, they were confronted by a band of orcs and goblins fleeing something coming out of the forest. Aton got a pretty good look at the faces of these beasts, but did not recognize what they were. Aton immediately gave chance and tried to track them, only to find that no prints were left and the only evidence that anything was there, was some broken twigs. They decided to continue on their journey and head to Tarakorst, where they arrived at later that day.

I am slowly getting a better grasp on volume levels and trying to make the overall recording sound even to the rest of it. Still a work in progress.
