Got it. Its 12am midnight GMT +1. Thanks!

Valge Kylm will be there.

A man clad in obsidian plate armor, lined with crimson-red designs approaches this poster, saying no words to those who may or may not be gathered around it. He briefly looks over the roster, evoking a slight sneer at a couple of the names listed. Then, raising the quill, he signs;

The Thayan Enclave

Can I join still?

i may be a little late

BIG THANKS TO DM DARKSHARD, VUKO, LYRE AND ALL THE DMS!!!

I hope some people will fill in what happened. I was only there for part of the low-level run.

The low-level run lost a wagon to fire arrows and an out-of-control assault. The Relief Effort paid to buy two new horses and intends on buying more wagons on the return trip - something James White himself as gone to Waterdeep to oversee this time around.

We went out...


Then we lost our horses and got held up by bandits...


... and that's how it went. The end.

Super thanks again to Lampir and the hard-working DM's here.

... and that's how it went. The end.

You forgot to say that the two or three PC's who didn't die on the Troll Claw Hills crossing, went onto Darkshard's Kill List for future reference.

It's not cool to sleep INSIDE the wagons while the rest of us are being butchered

Oh yeah, we zerged the bandits in order to win because there was no way for our melees to get to them and we were very melee heavy. It was probably repentence for all of the shenanigans we were playing with npc AI.

I particularly liked when Darkshard saw that I put down a web so directed the npcs around the web right into.... the other web I cast. Good try Darkshard, good try.

// Funny how both escorts lost their horses! I've written a little something to tell the journey of the low level escort in RP. Valge died twice, the first by the time she was resurrected (loading screens took ages) the others were halfway across the map. Seeing how slow the caravan actually moved it might tell something about the lag I had


The giant Gobu, with a honey cookie at his feet. In the background the smoke from the burning wagon with the roasted horses.

They had barely moved the wagons outside of Baldur's Gate before they were ambushed. The ambushers were clever this time and used fire arrows to set one of the wagons on fire. No one seemed to have a pocket water elemental with them, so people tried to do what they could to quench it by throwing dirt and casting frost and ice. While everyone was focused on saving the burning wagon the wonderful scent of fresh horsemeat drove the giant Gobu forward. He wanted the horses, and if he were to help the hoomies he also wanted something sweet. Of course Valge being the druid she is knew exactly what Gobu meant while everyone was puzzled, panicked and whatnot about the situation. She gave Gobu cakes dripped in honey in exchange for that he would join and protect them against the ambushers. Gobu was most pleased at this and while the exchange took place, the horses had been roasted nicely. Gobu sat down and dined on the horses and offered Valge a leg, which she took gladly and shared with her cat Lumi.

Omar had been sent to rush back to the Gate and returned with fresh horses. Gobu was very excited about this but another honey cake steered him away from the fresh meat. They had tried to persuade Gobu to help with the burning wagon but Gobu had refused, not all honeycakes in the world would make him touch that hot fire. Gobu wasn't that stupid. The wagon was lost but now they had two horses instead of one to pull the other and were able to travel faster. They also made sure to ward the horses and the lone wagon from any dangers they could imagine. As they reached the river, the giant Gobu was wounded badly and the ambushers were concentrating all their force on him. At last, Gobu fell and the earth shook as his body hit the ground. Unfortunately he now blocked the river passage. Valge no longer had to worry about Gobu's wrath if she had to tell him she was out of them honey cakes. Gobu's body was heavy but the slippery stones made them able to push it away in order for the wagon to cross the river. Strange enough a water elemental assisted in moving Gobu's body. Valge grumbled and muttered about these elemental but made the conclusion that it must have played in the river and someone encouraged it to help them. Surely no one would have hidden one when there was a fire to extinguish..!

The rest of the journey they continued to fight off the bandits and many comrades fell. At last they had reached the bridge and could hand the wagon over to the mercenary company that would accompany it the rest of its journey. Some considered the escort a failure, having lost a wagon, horses and so many lives. Looking at the complete picture however, they had to agree that they did their best with the odds against them.


Edited: Added a line about that water elemental at the river and made it easier to read

//ooc
*facepalms* That's what they meant when they said they needed the water elemental earlier! Should have cast the spell sooner... of course, if I had cast it then, It probably would have been a fire elemental.

// Valge said that hehehe! I got a bit distracted while writing the post above, I meant to say something about seeing that darn water elemental later... I edited it now, and also made it easier on the eyes.
