When we last left our heroes, they had joined a gnome, Bale Havensack III, on his journey to Oldsten as guards. After about four days of largely uneventful travel from Oakhart, they came upon the village of Rooksten. Smoke could be seen drifting up, buzzards circling, and a bell ringing. As Cora scouted, it became clear that giants–most likely hill–had attacked and goblins had entered the village as well. Cora had crossed the lowered drawbridge and peeked in, spotting two large wolf-like creatures feasting on a dead horse in the village square. She started to enter and that’s where we pick up after the break.
There are potential spoilers for “Storm King’s Thunder” from Wizards of the Coast but it has been significantly modified for our use. This write-up is from Rachel and my GM comments are in [brackets and italics] as usual. Muse and Todd were both missing; Jason played Otilia and RJ played Alaric. Bridgett was able to join us again to play Cora.
