[Here is the deal I have with my players. Whoever does the campaign log gets a free Benny at the next session as long as it is done in a fairly timely manner and isn't totally half-ass. If no one does it and I have to do it, everyone loses a Benny at the next session. As you may have guessed after reading this, everyone is losing a Benny at the next session 'cause I'm doing the campaign log.]

When we last left our intrepid heroes, they had just descended some stairs into a natural cavern and discovered a tunnel full of giant rats. As the party sprung into action and moved into defensible positions, voices were heard from above, “Heroes of Dalsetter! Olvir Brighthammer, Stonehand of Ertha comes to aid in your quest!”

We were interrupted from checking the granaries and trying to salvage what sacks of flour we could by vast hordes of rats pouring over the walls of Dunross, from every direction. Not only were there multitudes of rats, there were a number of rats almost the size of ponies. The few people we saw out and about were quickly overrun by rats so we could not see them anymore. A few of the pony-sized rats jumped onto the cart with the salvaged bags of flour, and Surefoot and Thunder began to panic as rats steadily climbed up their legs. In the stress of the moment, Skuli cut the horses free of the wagon (perhaps thinking the horses might have a better chance of surviving on their own?) and they ran off across the bridge. Agnes, the Dunross priestess of Eostre, had been on the bridge but was able to jump into the river just in time to avoid being trampled, although she quickly became overrun by rats as well.

After having been away from the Freeport campaign for such a long time, I’ve decided to go ahead and start up the Hellfrost campaign instead of going back to Freeport. The current PCs include (I’ll post stats later):

• Cuðbert, a Saxa ex-logger and “host” of Gaupa, Spirit of the Forest Lynx (played by Jamie)
• Lia, a Hearth Elf Road Warden (played by Robert)
• Skuli Odwinsunu, a Saxa Iron Guild Mercenary (played by RJ)
• Tor Bearstrangler Brighthammer, a Frost Dwarf Warrior (played by John)
• Wulfwynn Wiglafsdohtor, a Saxa Reaper of Eostre (played by Rachel)
