Filler

March 6, 2007

Winter comes and mostly goes. Things get quite slow during this time and Arabel is no exception. The group does some things here and there but for the most part, there is not much to do as Auril takes root for a while in Arabel.

As the Spring thaw arrives, Tabra, who has been doing some research, has several ideas for the group. She wants them to go to Tilverton to finally see what it is they are fighting. Then, she has a few ideas of where they can go for items. One is to Zhentil Keep and one is to Anauroch. The group isn't sure they are ready for either. After some talking, Tabra says she knows of some bandits in Skull Gorge who probably have money and items. While they realize it won't be easy money, they decide to go there.

They talk to Martin about getting there and Julia and Llaelorin tease Martin that he knows of the nearby town of Ladydove. Apparently, it is the black market hub of the area and Martin has gone there for some rare components. And the brothels. And the women teased him about it. The women asked if they could go and the group accepted the help.

Martin transported them near the town and they went in and found where the group they want to attack is. They head out to the north part of the Gorge. As they are traveling along the gorge, two wyverns attack. After a good, tough fight, they party is victorious. They almost lost several people and would have all died had the women not been there. They camp until morning to rest and then go down to the wyvern's lair to see what they have. After finding lots of little coins, the party has to make a choice about what they will leave behind.

Notes

• I had a tough time coming up with a name for this one. The guys decided to step back to get some treasure and money, which is fine, so it was outside of my idea but it will still work.
• I picture Ladydove to the "land locked" version of Tortuga from PotC.
• The wyverns were a tough fight. The battle could have gone either way, very easily. The poison attacks of the wyverns missed, which helped, and they didn't hit with every attack with the character's resistances. When they did hit, though, it was brutal. One hit almost saw a character swallowed and follow up attacks saw him nearly die. It worked out and was quite fun!
• Overall, a fun night!
