Fat Rat Games

We last left our heroes after they made an initial foray into an old mine in the Mélyen Hills and had retreated to recover. They encountered a number of strange and hostile creatures within. Creatures that they may not have been fully prepared to deal with…some unlucky dice rolls didn’t help either. They were just about to head back in to delve deeper into the mine before we ended the session. That, of course, is where we pick up after the break.

This write-up is from RJ. Muse was missing so Rachel played Cailana. Wink and Raspin’s players are no longer playing. RJ is now playing Raspin as well as Faelan. There are potential spoilers for Necromancer Games module, Aberrations…although heavily modified as usual. Also, as usual, my GM comments are in [brackets and italics].

In our last session, things went a little sideways as the group was heading to continue their explorations and pursuit of the evil happening in and around the Mélyen Hills. Some stealthy scouting led to an encounter with a hole, a slug monster, and some orcs. This, in turn, led a trip back to Borsod to get the group back to full strength (in the form of healing potions obtained from Trinu, Borsod’s witch). Returning back to the palisade in the hills, they found it destroyed, burned to ash. The path towards the site of the ogre farmhouse was well worn as though dozens had traveled that way, perhaps the former residents of the palisade. That’s where we pick up after the break.

In our prior session, the heroes had attacked the farm occupied by ogres, hillbilly, degenerate ogres. They defeated a number of the deviants and their leader, Momma Graul. They still had not yet found the missing Kosma children and still had quite a bit of the farmhouse and all of the barn to explore. With little hope of finding Etel and Henrik Kosma unharmed or even alive, the group started their search anew this session. That’s where we pick up after the break.

When we last checked in on our heroes, they had finished their exploration of the ogre-guarded palisade and had rescued one of the missing Kosma children, Vencel. With a child in tow, they had started back for the “safety” of the village of Borsod and to report their findings to Baroness Varga. Ogres, in league with the giant tentacled moths as well as some of the tentacled centipede things, sought out the group and caught up with them as they camped their second night of travel. This confirmed that the ogres, and their leader Momma Graul, might be part of something larger than just what they had encountered so far. Defeating all opposition, the group eventually arrived back in Borsod. After they settled down for a rest at the Temple (where Jolana was seeing to the traumatized Vencel), there was a panicked knocking on the temple door. This is where we pick up after the break.

During the prior session, our heroes explored a “village” of sorts…one completely surrounded by a wooden palisade with no gate other than the four ogres passing children over the fortification. That was the start of the strangeness. An apparently cowed populace of at least some deformed individuals, attacks by vicious toddlers with rather sharp teeth, and a terrified man looking to escape right now all proceeded the group rescuing one of the missing Kosma children, the middle child Vencel. Aerial scouting by a shape-changed Faelan discovered a farm, not too far away, that looked as though it might be the home of the ogres. Putting Vencel’s safety first, they decided to head back to Borsod. Camping for the night, we ended the session with sounds of two of the giant moth creatures flying overhead.

When we last left our heroes, they had returned to Presov after a rather mixed experience in the northern village of Borsod. After befriending the local priestess and a farming family, the group easily defeated a creature that had been stealing from the farm. Things then went downhill as they discovered that their friend Willow had been arrested and that their pack mule (on loan from the Baroness) had been stolen. Gathering speed, things got even worse as Faelan was goaded into drawing his sword against the Constable and both he and Raspin ended up arrested, jailed, and beaten. Fortunately, with the assistance of the local priestess, the remaining heroes were able to broker an agreement with the Mayor of Borsod. Reunited, the whole group traveled back to Presov and headed straight for the Baroness’ manor upon their return and are ushered into her presence. This is where we pick up after the break.
