The party has decided to go and hunt the mantises first before beating up the children.

We were starting preparations when we found out that by continuously splashing Viktor with water he would be more resistant to instant death by mantis grapple.

After finding the mantises we decide to setup an ambush, after preparing we enter combat.

After the first mantis gets obliterated by Viktor the second seems to take a slower approach and is more careful dealing with us, in turn we too stay on our toes. Except Seeker does not and boldly walks up to the mantis, just to immediately go down. Afterwards Viktor easily slays the mantis and combat ends.

After combat we heal up and prepare to head back to the settlement. Viktor picks up an entire mantis as Seeker and Lennox pick up the halves of the other mantis. Before setting off Lennox decides to rummage through some mantis guts and manages to find 3 gold pieces, five silver pieces and a walking cauldron.

After reaching the settlement again we decide to name the walking cauldron, after little deliberation we settle on the name Ron. “This is our cauldron, he’s called Ron.”

The blacksmiths need a little bit more time to forge a new weapon and thus Seeker gains a very sharp stick in the meantime. Viktor asks for the direction of the location where we were supposed to beat up kids, as we make our way to the arena we prepare ourselves mentally.

After exchanging multiple pleasantries (your mom jokes) with the orcs we beat them up and with we I mean Viktor did. As the session comes to an end.
