Session 23 - Slaying The Beast

NPCs

• Yegor, hound handler, formerly of House Lebeda

Notes

• The shrieking drew the attention of several violet fungi and a shambling mound.
• Further in the cave they discovered the armored beast over the corpse of its mate and a young cub.  They lure the beast into a bear trap and slay it, but Taras is slain in the fight, crushed in a flurry of beak and claws.
• They cut the head and claws from the beast and discover several dead humans in the caves.
• They discover a live cub and make a small cage to bring him back to the kingdom.
• Back at the kingdom they parade the head around town, leaving it at the tannery.
• Yegor is hired to care for the cub while they decide if the cub should be sold or trained.
• Sap collected from the shambling mound is sold to a local herbalist.
• The session ends on the 8th of Neth.

Session 22 - Hunting the Beast

NPCs

• Mikel and Yakov, rural drivers for hire.
• Vasili, coachman (dead).
• Tim, Port Jackal driver.

Notes

• Hiring drivers, they take the long journey back to the troll caves and recover the supplies there, adding them into their kingdom's treasury.  Vasili dies to a troll during the return trip, and his family is compensated for his death.
• During their absence, the town is assaulted by a great armored beast, wreaking havoc.
• The trail of the beast is simple to follow and leads to a tor overlooking the Little Sellen River, and a cave in the tor.
• In the cave a bewildering variety of fungi and mold grows, and as they move through the cave a shrieking noise fills the air...
• The session ends on the 3rd of Neth.
