Session 4 Notes

Combat Session!!

Yglesia shrugs off the crossbow bolt like it was nothing, then she and Dungar approach the camp as the rest of the party takes up position - Thorne in a tree, because of course. After drawing out and subduing the enemy searching for the Crossbowman's target, Dungar disguises himself and reenters the complex, engaging in some truly impressive deception and performance. The battle ensues from two angles in an unusual pincer strategy: Dungar wreaking havoc and distraction, Yglesia Val Gil and Thorne taking out minions until all that is left is Haroon, the massive half-orc adorned in the Armor of Many Arrows, and a mysterious assassin. The assassin was called "calminshani" by his presumed boss, otherwise nothing more was learned about him. Karen and Judith left the battle per Dungar chaos.

As Dungar engaged Haroon, the Zhentarim agent spoke to him in Uthgardt, claiming the bard was playing for the wrong team, and that the "Armies of Bane" were coming. Val ultimately killed Haroon with Toll the Dead, sending his soul into Death. The assassin repeats the claim that Bane is coming, and then vanishes in a puff of smoke.

The party quickly moves to search the tents and bodies of the fallen. They also made sure to burn the walls and remains. Yglesia, having received another vision from Linu the Healer, ends with a call to cleanse the cave, and asks that her companions help her with this quest....
