PWG- Session 3

Four days pass as the party makes it's way downstream. The Gargoyle has been flying the whole time to meet up with the party and he comes upon them just as a silver dragon comes swooping in to make a meal of them. He drives a collision course with the large dragon and knocks it away from his friends. The dragon agrees not to eat them if they will bring him three deer. Luckily, many of the party are skilled in survival and handily hunt down three deer for the dragon to feast upon.
*110 xp for not fighting a dragon

As night begins to fall on day five the party spots an Inn by the side of the river called "Eddies" (where a boat may rest out of the current of a river). Checking that the place is not allied with Pthanwy the party sends Alica and the Gargoyle to book them as the night's entertainment. Alica asks the drunk orc behind the bar if their leader is P'thanwy and the orc responds that Krug is their master. Fantastic, it is decided they will dramatize the story of Krug, the mighty hero. the party is brought in since the coast is clear. Krug is played by Smooth Pebble who is thoroughly and obviously confused about the whole situation. The bad guy of the story is played by Regis who holds that intimidation is his only marketable skill. The rest of the party get into the act with Brelynn doing a dance number and Alica providing the accompaniment. Everything goes awry though when Krug himself walks in and recognizes Regis through his makeup (and from the banner Krell walked in with). He forces them to finish the show and Regis becomes extra aware of the irony that he is inadvertently playing himself in the story of an enemy who's name he never bothered to learn. Of course a fight breaks out and the heroes handle the earthtouched orcs, ogres and Krug himself with almost shocking ease. Happily, not only did they collect 180Gp from around the place and the bodies of the slain they also captured Krug's War Banner and saved the people to whom the Inn actually belonged. A capitol day all around.
*1330xp for the combat
*20 xp for fitting Krug's armour to Smooth Pebble (Mordecai, Alica and Krell)

Day six dawned as so many do when one is adventuring. The heroes headed out feeling good about actually doing a good deed. Not long into the day a twelve headed cryohydra put a crimp in their style attacking the boats from the shore. After a hard battle the party was back on its way.
*321xp for the combat

Loot +3 armour (now fit to Smooth Pebble)
GP 180
xp 1751 (Smooth Pebble, Brelynn, Gargoyle and Regis)
1771 (Mordecai, Krell and Alica)
