Session Recap – Erford Campaign #4 – Temple of Terranc – 1154 NR

Note: Sorry for the terse write-up, I wrote this from memory, months after the event. -ML

Assassins

The group started in the camp of the people of Erford, and set about helping out the peoples of the area. After a few hours or so, Rug (holding the Shield of Telemvor) was assaulted by an Assassin named [[Gareth]], found to be from the [[Covenant of Hammer and Tome]]. The assassin was able to escape via some device that he pulled out, and teleported away.

Command Tent Meeting

The players met with Striker, the Baron of Erford (an angry, unrealistic man), and the commander of the legion elements in town (Earl Servik, from Hodun).

A plan was discussed from Striker, to go to an abandoned nearby Temple of Terranc and ask for his blessing in defeating the leader of the Hobboglins, and buy the people of [[Erford]] enough time to get to [[Port Pardue]].

Temple of Terranc

A strange, abandoned temple to the Lord of Dawn, [[Terranc]]. Somewhat demon infested, the temple was riddled with traps and dangers for the players, however Kivan’s nimble feet and the wisdom of our bard Finn, led us to saftey. Access to the shrine required the defeat of two high level demons to power a device that sent a beam in the hue of dawn into a large emblem of Terranc, and allowed a direct connection from Oromis to his lord Terranc, who heard him clearly and has marked the Hill Dwarf as a potential Prophet of the Dawn (a shitty arcana roll prevented Oromis from realizing this at the time).

Terranc gifted the party with a bonus d6 to all d20 based rolls until the next dawn.

The Next Day

Striker portals the party back into Erford, quickly pointing out the residence of the Warboss, before having to deal with an incoming patrol of Hobgoblins and keep them distracted and busy.

Outside the residence is a captain, and 4 longbow-goblins. Clearing that out, they assaulted the building, finding two captains in the first room with Rug and Kivan killing one each, and Finn nearly dying. Oromis flanked through a window, finding the Warboss who Shield-Based Oromis back out the window before turning to engage the rest of the party in the front room.

The party engaged in intense combat with the warboss, Finn heating his armor to painful levels during the fight, before finally managing to kill him just as Striker returned to the residence in haste, with a group of goblins tight on his heels. Rug found (and captured) the Druid Maltek of the [[Covenant of Hammer and Tome]] in the next room, along with finding a series of items.
