| ====== Session Summary ====== | ====== Session Summary ====== | ||
| + | * Session opens with casual table banter before discussion of adventuring gear (potions of knowledge, enlightenment rod, etc.). | ||
| + | * Recap of previous battle: the party decimated an enemy rearguard, executed their leader, and freed forty-five chained villagers. | ||
| + | * They learned of Serpent’s Creek, a fortified settlement led by a woman tied to the Sisters of Night Shadow and home to a strange loyalty-inducing pit. | ||
| + | * The group captured a sniper and convinced him to guide them to Serpent’s Creek. | ||
| + | * They traveled for two days by horror talon, observing the fortified city from a distance. | ||
| + | * Discussion on defenses: crimson arcane beacon atop a tower, 15-ft walls with watchtowers and riflemen, sparse gate traffic, and heavy military presence. | ||
| + | * Party debated ingress methods: posing as locals, going as prisoners, scaling the wall at night, or swimming via the river. | ||
| + | * Chose to disguise themselves and began scouting for civilian clothes. | ||
| + | * Shila shape-shifted (cat) to steal clothes; later the talon mounts raided the shantytown for more. | ||
| + | * While collecting disguises, they triggered a hunting party response but regrouped with ample civilian clothing. | ||
| + | * Approached Serpent’s Creek’s north gate posing as travelers or traders; succeeded in entering before sunset. | ||
| + | * Explored the bustling Dusk Bazaar near the city prison and located the one-story brick structure. | ||
| + | * Devised plan to infiltrate through the sewers; identified manholes in alleys and descended underground. | ||
| + | * Using druidic senses, they navigated by smell and found a barred outlet beneath the prison. | ||
| + | * Siti and Kinapak pried open the corroded bars and crawled through the latrine tunnels into the prison’s underbelly. | ||
| + | * Contact with prisoners established through latrine; coordinated quiet extraction via bathrooms. | ||
| + | * Discovered three subterranean floors; began unlocking doors to upper sublevels to release hundreds more captives. | ||
| + | * Noise from lockpicking alerted guards; two approached and were ambushed—one killed instantly, the other thrown down stairs. | ||
| + | * Reinforcements arrived; Tulu’s eerie drumming and Amak’s illusion of a spectral beast caused panic. | ||
| + | * Amak and Siti collapsed a wall with a explosive spell and shotgun blasts, trapping guards beyond rubble; continued freeing prisoners below. | ||
| + | * Guards regrouped and attacked with rifles and dynamite; Siti caught the dynamite midair and hurled it back, blowing enemy ranks. | ||
| + | * Shila led 200+ liberated prisoners through sewers toward the river exit while others held the defense line. | ||
| + | * Party exchanged gunfire with pursuing guards until nightfall, then escaped into the river with the freed villagers. | ||
| + | * Once outside the city, the party covered the fleeing prisoners. | ||
| + | * Talons created diversions within city outskirts, drawing soldiers away. | ||
| + | * A foot battalion pursued them; the group ambushed it in the woods, Amak annihilating eight enemies in a single strike. | ||
| + | * Session concluded with debrief: planning next steps, acknowledging success freeing prisoners of Serpent’s Creek, and discussing next campaign session date. | ||
