by Kellen McCall (Steve B.) 14-18 hsTL;DR: Party ventures to a shipwreck to recover a druid's staff and takes a quest from her instead. Encounter an obelisk, giant cows, a cave, and see mountains to the northwest. Tormund's Recap | Noric's Recap | Aredhel's Recap I’ve come to a sliver of civilization out here and teamed up with some others to retrieve an item one of their friends has lost. There is a shipwreck not far from here that is the domain of a hag, some type of nasty supernatural creature. Off we went in search of this creature and this staff. Our party consisted of Carric, an Elf who seems well versed with woodcraft and tracking, Noric and Tormund, two clerics, Tormund a Dwarf, and Aredhel, a Drow cleric. Three clerics, yes I had all the healing I could need though I actually did not need any. Carric and Aredhel, both Elves, covered the watches, I actually got a full night sleep. And Aredhel kept foraging for food, clams along the shore. Yes, I was fully rested and got seafood dinners! Aredhel seemed a little…odd, kept muttering curses at the sun, and exclaiming her wish to extinguish the sun, a bad idea I believe, but what do I know, I just swing a sword. We ventured out and spent our first day simply travelling. That night, as we slept, a creature snuck up on us, and attacked. The others managed to hold it off till I awoke and finished it off. Then I took its head and it’s trident and left a grim totem in place on the beach. When we reached the shipwreck, there was some talking with the hag, she speaks in rhymes and riddles. Of course nothing is ever easy, and she wants another creature dead. Says it’s something with multiple hearts, from the Far Realms, and lives in a cave to the west. So, we head west. Going west, the land changes significantly to rolling hills and we find a great heard of huge beasts, and see off in the distance mountains.
In this same area, we find an obelisk, a great spire atop a large structure, good stonework says the dwarf. An ancient stone slab covers what we think would be an entrance. The dwarf says it was sealed from the inside. That makes me think that perhaps someone went inside, and sealed themselves in. Perhaps as the cataclysm was coming? I can’t imagine that, but I could see it. Another party in the area has found at least one more obelisk, and managed to get inside. There were undead within that one, who knows what is inside this one. I’d like to find out. While we rested one night near the obelisk, there is a great noise, and the herd animals stampede away. In the morning, we find a lot of blood and tracks that look like a dragged something dragged one of the animals away. We follow it to a creek and then a waterfall. There is a cave near the waterfall, and half a carcass of one of the herd animals. What is inside the cave? What’s next? The obelisk. The cave. I want to venture toward the mountains.
