Lonesome Wanderings, Session 39

In which Badger and Tom...

  • Journey through Steppe and Taiga towards the Wicked City to meet up with the Mindblade Tara.
  • Run into a band of evil spirits in the Steppe which eat Tar and lure strangers to join them and dine on the poisonous tar.
  • Join the spirits in hunting Wicked City soldiers in the Steppe.
  • Find a group of soldiers harassing a woman - Ms. Fyodorel the elven trader.
  • Attack and defeat the group of soldiers with the spirits assistance, and let Ms. Fyodorel join the group.
  • Come up with a plan with Ms. Fyodorel by letting her know of the poison tar and having her whip up a fake batch of edible sludge (for a price).
  • Convince the spirits they survived the poison tar after eating Ms. Fyodorel's black sludge mixture.
  • Impress the spirits by apparently surviving the poison tar enough that they tell him they will ally with him should the need ever arises, just say the word.
  • Part ways with Ms. Fyodorel after thanking her for her assistance with the spirits.
  • Say goodbye to the spirits and continue to travel before meeting with a tribe in the taiga who worships a giant bear.
  • Meet the bear after being beseeched by the tribesmen to garner his blessing.
  • Get informed the bear will give him his blessing if they rid of some horrible spiders that has been harassing the tribesmen and wildlife in his territory.
  • Journey with some tribesmen and fight of the spiders - giant tarantulas whose poison makes men dance wildly in madness to death!
  • Defeat the tarantulas at the cost of Tom's life, who perishes madly dancing from the spider venom.
  • Lose a tribesman as well, and once the spiders are defeated bury both Tom and the tribesman in the tribes burial grounds, honoring the last orc sibling with a ceremony.
  • Meet the bear, who is pleased and gives Badger his blessing and says should the need ever arise, his tribe will support Badger as well.
  • Take leave of the bear tribe and continue to travel through the taiga into the wilds towards the Wicked City.
Current Level: Badger 9
