This represents the first 2 sessions.
30th of Calistril (Last day of winter). The party, sans sick ½ Elf, arrives at Oleg’s trading post, located at the northern edge of the Kamelands in the Greenbelt region of the Stolen Lands. After making introductions Oleg’s wife Svetlana asks the party for help and tells them the story of how they have been victimized by bandits for the last 3 months and how they will be here the next day. The party agrees to help and prepares a trap.
1st of Pharast (1st day of spring). The bandits arrive as scheduled and are promptly ambushed and slaughtered, except one who failed to escape and was captured. The group finds a strange pendent on the leader it has a skull with stag horns on it. Interrogation reveals the hideout they came from and their leader, Kressle. The camp is located where the Thorn River comes out of the forest about a day’s ride south. After giving the bandit to Oleg to pay off his debt through indentured servitude, the party heads east with their new horses to talk to a man named Bokken who is said to be crazy. Confirming that the man is indeed crazy, Tane talks him into making some potions for them at a discount price if they retrieve a bunch of Fangberrys.
2nd of Pharast. The party explores south west of Bokken’s hut and finds a nice 6ft long spider that wants to play, after playing with it a bit too hard they move on to the west.
3rd of Pharast. Entering the foreboding forest called The Narlmarches from the east the party stumbles upon a grove of Moon Radishes occupied by 5 vile and overstuffed Kobolds. Demelvar quickly deduces the nature in which they must be dealt with and tosses a bomb at them. After clearing the Moon Radish grove they quickly bundle up the Radishes that Svetlana just happened to need a bunch of and head back to Oleg’s.
4th of Pharast. The party return to Oleg’s to find a number of new people there. Tyr had recovered from his illness and is waiting with his new horse. A mercenary named Kesten and his 3 warriors who volunteered to guard the trading post and a priest of Erastil named Jhod who seems troubled. During an amazing dinner of Moon Radish soup both ask the party a favor. Kesten wants a man brought in alive who stole from him and Jhod wants an old temple of Erastil that’s somewhere in the forest cleared of some evil. Oleg gives the party 4 bounties that had arrived or been made in the last few days.
5th of Pharast. The party rests the day at Oleg’s.
6th to 10th of Pharast. The party sets out with 6 days of supplies to explore the northern plains. Exploring is slow as the party moves along small streams so they don’t have to carry tons of water for their horses. They learn from a hunter that the northern forest is dangerous because of another hunter named Breeg hiding traps in it. Wild boars and a Worg present a minor problem.
11th and 12th of Pharast. Party rides back to Oleg’s.
13th and 14th of Pharast. Party plans for next excursion, re-supplies and rests while Demelvar makes potions.
15th of Pharast. The party sets out towards the northern part of the Narlmarches for exploration. Darning the night, night-watchman Tyr falls asleep and the party including all the horses is tied up. Most are confused except Demelvar who says that Tyr’s prank is awesome.
16th of Pharast. Early in the morning the party sees a trail side sign boldly proclaiming that Human season starts today. Vulpes moves to change the sign but then sees a Raccoon with a survival knife watching him from the bushes; Odin stops him from tampering with the sign. Later in the day the group discovers an entire glade of hidden bear traps and continues to find them throughout the day. At evening Tyr discovers how wonderful his new super loud alarm backpack is and Demelvar falls for the old gold piece on far edge of disguised pool of water prank. During the night Vulpes and Odin’s armor is painted bright orange.
17th of Pharast. Tired of the pranks Tyr places a gift (read: bribe) for the fey that have been pranking them. Around lunch the 2 fey introduce themselves, a Grig named Tig-Titter-Tut and a Faerie Dragon named Perlivash who is over fond of sitting on people’s heads. They thank the group for being good sports and admit they had a prank bet with each other against the party. They tell the group about some locations in the forest, a hot spring and an abandoned temple to Erastil and tell them to drop by their home some time.
18th of Pharast. Entering the plains west of the northern part of the Narlmarches the group spends most of the day finding nothing of interest until Odin spots an old Cairn. Odin explains that it’s a grave for a chieftain of the Tiger tribe who used to be a real threat until Brevoy drove them into the western Stolen Lands. The group decides to not desecrate the grave and actually clear it of bushes and clean it a bit.
