Another full house for this week's ROTRL campaign. A summoner, a fighter-thief, an inquisitor, a cleric, a magus, a gunslinger, and a barbarian.
The session was a bit lackluster, simply because I had a crusher work week and wasn't as well prepared as usual. Standard DM woes...
The players picked up some of the slack, doing a fun job of role-playing their efforts to build a full cargo for their trip upriver from Magnimar to Kaer Maga.
Their trade goods include everything from tobacco to alchemist's fire.
They also discovered that there was a sailor in Underbridge being held hostage by derro alchemists who had experience sailing through the dangerous waters near the Mushfen swamp.
They found him and broke him free -- after first battling against a group of mad derro and a queer interdimensional being.
Meanwhile, the magus purchased an ancient book in the Capital District which he was able to decipher.
It told of an ancient time when a runelord named Karzoug did battle against another runelord named Alaznist.
According to the text, Alaznist enlisted the aid of a demon goddess known as The Mother, while Karzoug secured allies from a dimension known as "Leng."
Reading the book with its strange and uncouth runes cost the magus two permanent points of Wisdom drain.
Next game, the groups sets off upriver with a hold full of trade goods -- destination Kaer Maga.
