Session 34 Notes - More Undead

Clear cool winter sea breeze

The Heroes of the Three Hills Adventuring Company having been victorious in the First round of the Champions’ Games are rewarded to a very well made dinner and the comfort of a much less crowded Coenoby. After some telling encounters, the Heroes were visited by Ekyam who brought some supplies (1200gp worth handed out during the session).

Turns out Ekyam had ulterior motives for entering the Heroes in the Games. He spent some time confessing that he really is after his missing sister who he fears became lovers with Loris Raknian (the owner and chief promoter of the Fields of Triumph and the Champions’ Games). Ekyam offered to hand over his share of the winnings to the Heroes in exchange for their help finding his missing sister. He suspects Loris has perpetuated some form of foul play and wants the Heroes to find out what happened to his sister. He sadly opined that she is dead and reports that his investigation to date has revealed that she disappeared a year ago at the conclusion of last year’s Games (where Auric and Kellek were victorious).

Though the Heroes were tempted by the exceptional prizes (gold and magical items) of the exhibition games (on the 27th) they wisely made a solid, safe, and conservative decision to forgo them. Instead they used the distraction of the exhibition games to explore one of the Secret locations discovered by the Master Searcher, Rumple. During the open challenge contest verses the grizzled Bear Warrior, Gozul the Brown, the Heroes slipped past the arena warden patrols to explore the secret area behind the wine seller. One of the Heroes lifted a couple bottles of fine wine and filled 6 empty bottles of vinegar for some clever purpose. The Heroes were delayed by Tyree and Menelvagor who chose to split from the others to watch the first exhibition match. Tyree yelled in vain at Gozul and only became frustrated when the cheering crowd drowned out his shouts no matter how loud he yelled (funny).

Finally the Heroes were rejoined and as they proceeded into the unknown, of course, they found undead; Kyuss Spawn specifically.

Something is foul smelling down here; real bad.
