Ven 30, 2424 - Session 7 - On the road Again

Klackers bandages and fixes up the group as we leave the caves and start heading north following the Map to the Warehouse we obtained.
We travel through the underbrush and trails through the woods. We come across an area behind a thicket of vines, branches and leaves.
The serein quiet of the grove gives the feeling a calming aura of peace and safety. We stop to rest for the eve and gather ourselves.

That night as we were settling in for sleep Z'ed and Amani had a personal conversation about Amani's abilities and the souls she collects that fuel her spell power. Amani asked about Z'ed's unique and interesting tattoos. Sounds like they are related to her arcane abilities.

Bruin is visited in his dream by his god Kaerthar, a sentinel of bark and leaves and paws. Referring to Bruin as his redeemer. Bruin hears a voice telling him to save the forest and right the wrongs from the rot that has been destroying and twisting it.

We identified the strange liquid I found in the back of the shop. It is an ink used when you don't want your writing to be read easily. Can only be read in magical light. Might come in useful when we get to the warehouse.

We leave early and continue through the forest until we hit a road. We must leave the safety of the forest and continue along the road.
Bruin spots some movement in the grass when an arrow comes flying from the ridge on our side. It flies past and hits a tree. It's an ambush!
A hulking figure rise from the back of the group with a couple of hounds flanking him. He is an enforcer of the guild.
He gives us a choice to lay down our arms and walk away or die. We don't run from a fight.
Bruin charges up the ridge and disembowels the archer in one epic swing of his claws.
At that moment one of the hounds rushed forward. It looked mangy, matted and its eyes were glowing an eerie red glow. It unleashed a sickening howl at us.
Z'ed shot her needle darts at the closer dog. Hitting it as it lets out a whimper of pain.
I ran up and threw a alchemist fire at the leader unfortunately missing. The other dog sprang into action and tried to attack but missed. It also howled trying to scare me. But I was undeterred.
The leader followed and stuck me with his giant hammer and hurt like hell. When will I learn?!?!
Laslyn came to help me and yelled at them intimidating the leader who just attacked me. Behind I heard a welp as Bruin just ended the other dog.
I tried to retreat and throw some bottled lightning. Missed again!
Laslyn was struck and graved by throat by the leader.
I had to down an elixir of life and soothing tonic to hopefully rally.
Laslyn was cracked in the skull by the leader and I saw her body go limp.
His attention then turned to Klackers who he threw his hammer at. Striking true.
Amani kept the leader busy attacking him with his thrall.
Bruin tried to dispatch the last archer but they were very agile elusive.
Z'ed finished off the dog with needle darts in a spray of blood. A gem on there collars fade as they perish.
I quickly brew up an elixir of life and pour it down Laslyns throat. Then I rush against the ridge to avoid arrow strikes from the last archers.
Bruin was able to knock down one of the 2 as the last tried to run off but to no avail.
After the fight looks like Z'ed determined it was a control device and we might have been able to use the dogs on their masters. Well hindsight is 20/20.
Klackers spent an hour patch us back up.
Laslyn used her intimidating presence to pressure the captured prisoner into spilling any useful information he had.
Amani didn't wish to let him go after spilling the beans and used his new found dagger to slit his throat.
We made our way to the warehouse.
It was late evening when we arrived upon the wooden building. 2 guards stand at attention at the door. More canvased the area walking the perimeter keeping watch. A cart arrived and was ushered inside.
Half of us approached stealthily to get a better look at the layout while the others watched the sentries patterns and patrols.
We slowly retreat to prepare and plan our attack.
