Hot Time in the City

Well the group spent the last game session trying to get through the city while it is packed to the gills with people. One of the encounters was with a drunken gnome and his burly half-orc buddy. Humphrey was stopped by the gnome and was attacked when his buddy defended him. They finally made it to the Manor House and found some bullywugs on guard inside the front doors. They managed to rescue their patron and started clearing the house. The three gnomes are finally starting to act like gnomes. It was an interesting watching the trio arguing about which way to go even as they were attacking some bullywugs. They never stopped the conversation once as they attacked and then healed themselves afterwards.

Next will come the challenge as I lead them south. But not before I give them a side trek to toughen them up.

Humphrey's Heros

Well the group has finally come up with a group name. Seeing as the big guy is the focal point of the group, they decided to name themselves after him as some of the other suggestions that they came up with really didn't work. Now to see if the group and the name survives.

Finishing Off Kraken's Cove

Well the group finished off investigating the remains of Kraken's Cove in their search for Vanthus. They found out that he had indeed been there but had left abruptly when he tried to steal a large black pearl that didn't go as planned. The pearl exploded with disasterous results causing some sort of savage disease that affected the majority of sailors that had been there. The group worked their way through the enemy and finally encountered a ships captain fighting for her life against the savage pirates. They helped her kill the pirates and then started talking with her.
They found out that she was very vindictive and had already sent her first mate to Sasserine in order to take out the Vanderboren manor. She was a bit dismayed to find out that the family had nothing to do with Vanthus and in fact they were looking for him. She told the group to head back there as quick as they could in order to save their patron.
As they were leaving, they encountered more of the savage primates and they managed to attack the party druid and his companion. The druid was forced to flee with his life but his wolf was not so lucky. He was bitten and affected by the savage fever. It then turned on the party and attacked Humphrey. It managed to bite him and now Humphrey is affected along with Wik.
There ship finally managed to rendezvous with them and they are now headed back to Sasserine as fast as they can. They arrived at the harbor to find the city packed to the gills with people. The city was celebrating the Festival of Wormfall. Can the group make it to the manor in time. The next session will tell the tale.
