Executive Summary: Things did not go as well as possible underneath Darthis.

85 Spring

Oakmoss

Annah was itching to go to Darthis. Alas, others desired to hunt and kill the elusive druid. Problem be: it was physically impossible to track him. Mordrick got the idea to speak with a local animal about the matter. This resulted in us finding a tree with a fort in it.

We ascended to it and were promptly attacked by trained animals! Sanke! Bear! The bear was the druid! He surrendered just before death. His protestations were most pronounced but they were ignored.

However, he did point out that we were a lawless band of thugs acting without authority.

Eventually, he was delivered to the Fortress of Martial Justice. Then, we made our statements. A magistrate was needed so we volunteered to fetch one ourselves in Darthis. We set out immediately after securing 10 gp each for travel expenses from the town.

Darthis

Magistrate thus sent, we went about looking for ways to earn cash. The winner: Ruins under the city! Goal: Four corpses: Lord Arian worth 500,000 gp! His sister, worth 400,000 gp! The rest was a list of 27, each worth much less. Lisa Marie copied the list. With that, we went dungeoning!

Annah died! She tried to disarm a trapped door but was burned beyond recognition instead. Lisa Marie and I went and got a pick and a bag of salt for Annah. We returned and I began picking through the door, getting burned, and avoiding a basilisk. Annah returned to us alive, though I'm not quite sure how.

The basilisk got out!
