Rise of the Rahib, Session 5

  • Razul and Hakim come across a wide expanse of 7' grass, but otherwise find nothing in a heat wave that begins.
  • Return back to Alahamara, and are forced to beg on the streets for alms to survive and buy some food.
  • Head back into the wilds and have a string of bad luck on an extended stretch of heat waves, avoiding wolves, staying clear of a tornado, and slowly painstakingly finding rations after being on the brink of starvation. 
  • Their luck finally turns as they find a hot springs in the mountain, which lets them get some rest and rejuvenate.
  • Hakim finds his leg healing with the strange magicks of the springs, to the point he is able to walk with a limp and a cane. 
  • The duo set out, feeling well rested and rejuvenated, and see the fluttering banner of a settlement in the distance and head towards it.
  • Unfortunately, they are greeted near the settlement not by guards but bandits who rush out of it to attack them!
  • They attempt to fight off the bandits but are knocked out and taken prisoner.
  • Hakim and Razul awaken, stripped of their gear and weapons, in chains in a slavers cart.
  • The slave caravan moves forward, with 10 other shivering slaves leaning against the cage as they see the town - Vakri, they learn from one of the slaves, a bandits' den - in the distance.
  • Razul alone however, sees another sight - a grinning demon imp, sitting on top of the slavers cart, looking down on him.
  • The demon imp speaks, saying only Razul can see it, and it can offer him a bargain to get out of this situation - at a cost!
Current Level: Razul 3, Hakim 2
