Lonesome Wanderings, Session 18

 In which Badger...

  • Heads to the Wolfskull Goblin Lair to find Stephen.
  • Avoids Iron Ring slavers with goblin slaves in a chain.
  • Avoids the Mindblade Chala who tries to pressure him into revealing where Tara by running when they are attacked by wolves mid conversation, leaving her to fend for herself.
  • Arrives at the Wolfskull Lair only to find the Stone Seekers enter the lair, and waits for a bit before following them in.
  • Flees from some giant bats that attack him outside the entrance of the lair.
  • Hides from a goblin patrol as they pass him outside the lair.
  • Bribes some goblins with gold to let him past them and their dire wolves.
  • Rescues Babushka, an old lady, from the cell she is being held in. 
  • Meets with the Goblin King Kloss and trades him the magic mace and tinderbox he has to freely roam the lair.
  • Leaks to Kloss that the Stone Seekers are looting his lair, leading him to deploy some goblins in search of the adventuring party.
  • Barely survives after activating a trapdoor into piranha ridden waters below the lair.
  • Enters a chamber to find the Stone Seekers being attacked by the goblins deployed by Kloss, and lets them take care of the cursing adventurers as he moves on.
  • Finds Hobgoblin leader Vlack has abandoned the lair and taken the slaves with him, leaving his pet ferrets and thouls to guard his personal chambers.
  • Throws rations to the ferrets near the entrance to Vlack's chambers to cause the ferrets and thouls to attack each other as Badger rushes into the chambers.
  • Loots Vlack's chambers of all they are worth, finding a secret door it seemed the Stone Seekers missed that holds a lot of treasure and magic items - but no information on where the slaves were taken.
  • Throws more rations to the ferrets (who have ripped the thouls to shreds) and escapes managing to leave the lair. 
  • Heads out of the lair with Babushka, who informs him she knew Stephen, a fellow slave.  
  • Learns from Babushka that the she was deemed too scrawny, but the others were taken away to the Old Ruins of Xitaqa where "Ol' Skinny Legs" would get answers out of them about a "great map". She doesn't know where these ruins are.
  • Encounters Loshad the Chevall on his journey back, who checks in on Joe the horse. Loshad claims to knows where the Ruins of Xitaqa are, and promises he will tell Badger if he brings back the heads of werewolves Bailakask and her son Kalkask; and if he frees Joe the horse within one month. Badger agrees to these terms.
  • Returns back to town with Babushka to sell his loot, and formulates a plan to deal with the werewolves for Loshad.
Current Level: Badger 6
