The Restenford Journals #15 (8 JULY 2024)

    Picking up right where you left off previously when there had been a gap in play can be a bit difficult. But, we pulled it off and briefly went over last session before diving right in to the harrowing adventure at Har's Point !  There is allot of chit chat and I think this sets the mood for the evening's session as catching up and playing as a side note.

     Which honestly, I don't mind at all

   They send Yelola the Selkie to seek help from the Aquatic races nearby and then head up  the coast to the Abandoned Hut she had been using since being forced from her lair. After a good nights rest the Jonkheers head to Har's Point & discover 2 villagers where abducted from their home that previous evening. The PCs propose building bonfires and organizing a defense on the beach but the village leader Kilmean decides that the people of Har's Point will patrol their streets and secure the women and children within the Chapel. There is ALLOT of back and forth chatter deciding a plan and some failed attempts to recruit t he villagers to stand upon the beach which finally becomes the PCs await halfway up the road to Har's Point and allow the villagers to remain in the hamlet.

    Near midnight the falcon detects something odd which Eldrin deduces from his vantage point atop a building that the fisherman's boats are being pulled out to sea. Leaping down and running over to his other party members hiding in a clump of bush and trees near the road Eldrin then returns to his spot upon the house. waiting patiently they see a group of bandy legged creature avoiding the light of the bonfires and sticking to the shadows but working their way towards the Hamlet of Har's Point. A single tent had been pitched near the road by the Jonkheers which is empty and the Sahuagin shred it when they emerge back upon the road and this is when the Davon & Eldrin both cast Sleep while Tushuab the Ranger fires an Arrow at the largest Sahuagin. This reduces the Sahuagin Raider's Numbers by eight ! And as they are revealed by their casting and firing of hte arrows the lone figure that remained at the rear of the raiding group points towards Davon and screams something in an alien language which results in a fervor amongst the remaining raiders and they begin running towards them while it begins castings a spell of some sort. Davon casts Lightning Bolt at the advancing Sahuagin while Tushuab & Eldrin fire arrows at the spell casting figure amongst them which results in its disruption. Davon's magical lightning slays three of the remaining four raiders and then Tushuab steps forward to intercept it and slays it while Eldrin's arrows again interrupt its casting while a Magic Missile hits it as well resulting in it mindlessly charging Tushuab & Davon while it screams at Davon in an unknown tongue. A Web spell the next round binds it and shortly the villagers of Har's Point aid the Jonkheers in dispatching the slumbering Sahuagin.

    There is some attempt to interrogate the webbed Sahuagin but it results in threats and promises of eventual Sahuagin conquest of the foul air breathers. That their stealing of their "sacred treasure would not go unpunished ! The foul creature is disposed of by spear, harpoon and fire while bound in the webbing. The remaining Sahuagin raiders are burned and their possessions including unusual crossbows of Sea Elf make are taken by the Jonkheers. Yelola returns and informs the PCs that the local aquatic species are missing and it appears the Sahuagin have been raiding all along the coast. The next day a great feast and festival is held in honor of the Jonkheers with them departing without any further incident. The house wives of Har's Point are suspicious of Yelola and she departs for Restenford with the Jonkheers.

    I decide to post the resolution to the Shipwreck at Har's Point in between sessions using Discord. The long gap between sessions has resulted in folks wanting to catch up with each other and I am tired. So very tired always. I have during game play dropped many clues to the party which they seem to have not heard, over looked or went off on wild tangents with information filled in by imagination. The PCs are planning on taking care of their obligations and waiting for their orders from the main land to arrive before returning to adventure so I will be doing some logistical stuff at the beginning of the next session and maybe some info or lore research RP which is nice but does not result in allot of XP to the PCs. I foresee the mid levels of 4 - 6 being where the majority of this campaign will reside.

    Anyway,

Game Well, Game Often

and have fun

   while crushing your enemies playing "orc games"
