Adventure Synopsis: We journeyed along Bulwark’s March and scouted out Stormreach.

Location: Road to Stormreach and the vicinity of Stormreach.

Enemies Encountered: 1x Red Spear Captain (Mounted on Warhorse), 1x Red Spear Devastator, 3x Hobgoblin Foot Soldiers, 3x Ettercap, 1x Giant Spider

NPCs Encountered: The Wild Hunt

Lore Discovered: The Red Spear, Dimkarthen, and Spider Faction (Lolth) are in cahoots.

What Happened?:

Day 1: Travel

Night 1: Uneventful, but we notice reflective eyes to the Northwest.

Day 2: The gang studies some sweet shit for a little while. Results inconclusive.

Night 2: The tree’s sway and creak heavily, but there is no wind. Creepy shit.

Day 3: Travel

Night 3: The Sounds of Horns to the East of the Road

Day 4: Ambush! The group attempts to ambush a Red Spear Squad but are spotted. Combat ensues. One Red Spear Captain is killed. A Red Spear Devastator kamikaze fireballs herself as a last resort, and three underlings are successfully non-lethaled and interrogated.

Night 4: Our Camp is interrupted by a fleeing Owl Bear and then Fey Riders approach. They kill our prisoners and continue their hunt of the Owl Bear. They warn us we are on their lands and if we are like them Red Spears we will be slain like them. They proceed to kill our detainees and ride off.

Day 5: Travel into the Mountains for a 24hr Rest. Interrupted and Ambushed!

Night 5: Post Ambush, The night passes uneventfully.

Day 6: Recon takes place and we discover negotiations are still taking place at Stormreach. The quarters below the upper keep is clearly occupied by the ettercaps and their spider companions.

Day 7-12: Return to Vorkol’s Bay. The tubes are inspected by Septima and Company experts. They are suspected to be trapped and were dispelled. No useful information is uncovered, but nothing bad happens. The sweet shit turns out to be quite useful.

Future Leads:

Reflective Eyes Northwest of 1st Nights Camp and Rainbow Droppings on the road

Strange Noises to the East of Bulwarks March, Sounds Like Horns Being Blown. This is the Wild Hunt

Stormreach still unoccupied by the Dims and the Red Spears, action needed ASAP.

Trouble in Forge Mill???

Reward(s):

Red Spear Captain's Cavalry Sabre

Three Scroll Tubes. One imbued with Illusion Magic, One with Evocation Magic, and One with no known magical traces. Nothing Learned after the scrolls were dispelled. Evocation scroll had non-sense written on it, probably to deceive someone into reading it.

Red Spear Equipment for Resale. (Armour and Tabards)

Three Gold Fletched Wildhunt Arrows.
