SESSION 48 – September 9, 2018
We gather Otiben’s body and Urman’s hirelings Alram and Godfrey and the bodies of the orcs who fell and convey them to a room prior to burial.
We divide up Otiben’s remaining gear, and begin our rest in preparation for vengeance against the remaining ogres, and destruction or conversion of the remaining goblins to serve Puk as their new chief. The 3 surviving goblins recognize Puk as their chief due to both the influence of the charm goblin potion and Urman holding up the broken staff of The Seer.
We learn from the goblins and the surviving ogre that they are looting the city and will leave when the dome ceases. this was their plan all along.
Urman slays the ogre with the vampire dagger and heals a bit.
The orcs plan to fight along side us.
Ygritte says she will convince her father that the return of the orcs is a good thing.
Ignotius will be careful how he breaks the news that the orcs are not entirely extinct.
We view the orcs as allies that we’d rather have occupying the orc city.
Urman wants to use a force of goblins behind the forces of The Enchantress to relieve the dwarves of their burden.
Otiben is suddenly returned to us whole, but Zho Ni is not convinced. Urman is unsure, as is Batukhan.
Zho Ni drops Otiben and is prepared to strike the killing blow, but Urman drags Otiben away once he sees the chief heal him, and he has a pulse and breathes. He has never heard of undead doing either.
Batukhan drops Zho Ni, and Embrek ceases to fight.
The orc chief heals Zho Ni who we convince to use his scroll of Augury to determine if it is weal or woe to let Otiben fight alongside us. Zho Ni sees a sign from Aestaria and concedes it is really Otiben.
We prepare to rest and relearn spells and heal up for tomorrow.
We give Ygritte the ring of messages and Puk and his 3 goblins along with his wolf mount go to see if the dome still holds.
Otiben tells us that he is “_On a mission from god_.” The Crone sent him back as her champion.
Fantastic. A further 900xp for Urman.
