Players: Wan (Rory), Devine (Gowyn), Theo (Zalac), Fic (Catkin), Morels (Naomi)
Through the portal in Dorcha!
Rory, Calaz, Catkin, Gowyn all together, the others going separately
Also Sai is here in rabbit form on Rory’s head
We go to Zamorysk, Zaridaro
Kinda cold? Coastal, stone city
Magic heated road witchcraft
Ciaran thinks he’s the main character
Rory remembers in Zamorysk there’s a guy to help us get to Padshiy- we go looking for them
We go to the travel hub, Catkin goes to ask at the reception desk
They start speaking Russian. Catkin does not speak Russian.
Eventually they speak western common, we can go as far as Zon Khurek in the east
A horse is here, massive fucking horse, a honse even (centaur)
He knows Malco, he offers to pay for our teleportation (50 coins each?!) on behalf of Malco
Ciaran has lifts in his shoes
Rory trusts this horse with his life, as does Zalac, his name is Bayar
Shopping arc! Bayar takes us shopping because he’s the GOAT (horse)
We need food (lots), water (lots), fire starters, tent, warm clothes, sleeping bag, lanterns, rope/climbing gear
We’re all broke so it’s work time pre-shopping arc
Catkin works at a spell library sorting Eremi spells, 30 coins
Zalac and Calaz work on a construction site, earning 60 coins
Rory works as a security guard at the potion shop Ciaran is working at, 70 coins
Gowyn works as a teaching assistant, 40 coins
Shopping arc but fr this time
Bayar is back, he lives in Soolchin Gon, the closest village to Padshiy, but has never been to Padshiy
Bayar and Rory are besties in being ugly and scary looking
His sister, Bayan, has been to Padshiy many times, used to be Padshiy Arcadia (Padshiy means abandoned, original name was Arcadia)
Had 5 regions, split by rivers, Bayan found the northern river and followed it to Greyhook, the city of 3 rivers
Buying survival gear, magic plants, food etc
Bayar says Padshiy has +5000 aura, it’s alive and if it doesn’t like you it’s bad
Bayar’s sister Bayan found something in Greyhook, word got out about it and he thinks she was murdered by ‘the person posing as her girlfriend’, Lyona
He offers a sledge if we agree to help him avenge his sister, because his magic isn’t strong enough
Bayar sugar daddies us through the teleportation line
Rory is fine, Catkin is fine, Sheep is fine, Gowyn Zalac and Calaz are vomiting, Naomi and Gonger have iron stomachs
Gowyn is trying to have a deep existential chat with the dog about gaining intelligence
The vomit is everywhere in our sardine can teleporter box, Gowyn freezes it
The poor minimum wage cleaners have to clean the frozen sick
We leave to Zon Khurek, smaller city than Zamorysk, far east
Gowyn restarts the existential conversation with the animas
Calaz’s life became more fulfilling after becoming an anima
Ginger is crying over candyfloss
We go with Bayar, he is pulling a cart- 3 day journey there, could be 2 if we help- Rory and Calaz are wham so we do it in 2 days
We go to Bayar’s house to drop off the cart, also there is a sledge there
Sai is still on Rory’s head
He directs us to the house of Bayan’s murderers, Lyona seduced Bayan to get info about whatever she found, then killed Bayan
He can’t help because he’s bad at magic? But he sends us off to do it
We go to commit a technically not murder
Gowyn notices a wall of fog- Padshiy? Rory has to carry him like a sack of potatoes
We get to the village centre, feels like they know we’re coming
We decide no plan let’s rawdog this
See 3 people waiting for us, fighting time!
Lyona is a centaur
Zalac zaps Lyona
Naomi shoots a guy
Rory, Ginger, Gowyn and Zalac all have back pain (prone) from Lyona’s earth spell
Gowyn blinds a guy
Catkin tries to bounce
Rory’s back is unbroken yay
Nymph burns Rory
Dog bites nymph
Sheep hides
Rory bonks the nymph real hard
Combat keeps going i cba to write it all, but we’re beating the shit out of these guys I promise
Gowyn has leg locked and blinded a guy again
Cat is on the roof though
Rory smacks a guy
Catkin does damage!!
Rory gets set on fire holy shit
Gowyn is tying up a blind guy again
Nymph is no longer blind finally!!
Catkin banana peels Lyona and uses action to blow rory a kiss
Ciaran goes really fucking fast then punches Lyona real hard
Catkin air slashes Lyona into a wall
We did it guys we committed not murder
Take Lyona and the others to Bayar
Bayar decapitates Lyona (after Gowyn blinds her obviously), the other two run away
Catkin loots the body, we get a magic torch, some rations and a rope
Rory buries the body
We go have dinner with Bayar and his parents and get a long rest
