The session began with you continuing your hunt for the “great beast.” Along the river, Zogg<\/code> and Maven<\/code> heard the sound of an animal. After Gassi<\/code>‘s incorrect guess of a deer and Zogg<\/code>‘s theory of a stray dog, you chose to investigate. You found a grieving dog beside a dead woman, pierced by arrows. The scene quickly revealed itself to be an ambush as arrows rained down from a thicket on a rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\nZogg<\/code> and Nym<\/code> moved up the rise to meet the threat, Maven<\/code> was attacked from behind, and Gassi<\/code> became the target of arrows and a mage. During the fight, someone shouted from the thicket, and the grieving dog suddenly attacked Gassi<\/code>. Despite the chaos, Gassi<\/code> summoned a magic ladder to climb a tree for a better overview and safety. A funny interaction occurred when Nym<\/code>, affected by a Grasping Grave<\/code> spell, got an uncontrollable hunger for brains and, fascinated, asked Maven<\/code> what blood tastes like.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAmiri<\/code> with her gigantic sword. She had been observing the fight, amused by your “competent” chaos. She was also after a bounty on a beast announced by Oleg<\/code> at the trading post. Since you had the same goal, you decided to team up. After making camp for the night \u2013 where Aurelio<\/code> traditionally failed at cooking \u2013 and fending off a minor goblin attack that Amiri<\/code> handled on her own, you continued the hunt.<\/p>\n\n\n\nGassi<\/code>‘s nose for odors led you to a glade that smelled of manure and decay. He hoped to find rare mushrooms but instead found a pile of half-eaten carcasses under a log \u2013 and awakened a gigantic boar, Tusker<\/code>. A brutal fight followed. The boar proved to be unnaturally resilient; despite Maven<\/code> and Nym<\/code> felling it time and again, it rose again thanks to a zombie-like ability. Gassi<\/code>, who correctly identified its undead nature, resorted to an unconventional tactic: he cast a Heal<\/code> spell on the boar, hoping the positive energy would damage it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Amiri<\/code>:<\/strong>\u00a0Who is this extremely capable barbarian? Why is she in the Stolen Lands, and what is the story behind her enormous sword?<\/li>\n\n\n\nTusker<\/code>\u00a0showed a supernatural ability to resurrect. Is this truly the “great beast” you were looking for, and is its undead nature a sign of a greater evil in the area?<\/li>\n\n\n\nNym<\/code>‘s Hunger:<\/strong>\u00a0The spell that gave\u00a0Nym<\/code>\u00a0a craving for brains was temporary, but his bizarre conversation with\u00a0Maven<\/code>\u00a0about the taste of blood was a memorable and unsettling glimpse into dark magic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The battle against the immortal boar reaches its climax. Despite having cut it down several times, it continues to rise. In an ingenious but risky maneuver, Gassi<\/code> has just channeled healing energy into the undead creature. The boar is now writhing in convulsions on the ground after Nym<\/code>‘s electrical attack, and it is Amiri<\/code>‘s turn. Will Gassi<\/code>‘s gambit grant the beast its final rest, or has he just given it new strength? And how will your new, battle-hungry ally react to this absurd situation?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
