Walking through a forest

Nov 26, 2016

• After dealing with spiders from last session, the group returned to Oleg's place, where in the distance they saw Breeg, a trapper, heading out.
• The group learned of the wild boar, Tuskgutter, and how the beast was terrorizing the region. Breeg apparently was focused on catching the bad news bacon.
• Restocked, the party headed west, exploring more of the northern reaches of the Stolen Lands.
• They cleared most of the northern planes, finding a burial site at one point, under a blackberry bush.
• They decided to leave the dead to their rest.
• Exploring the Narlmarches Forest, the gang came across what appeared to be a dead, white horse. On closer inspection it was shown to be a dead unicorn, where someone/something had removed the horn.
• The unicorn was untouched, unblemished, and was not decaying. Aiesha divined that it had most likely been killed by a death effect, and probably by something/someone important. Archfey sometimes 'marked' things they killed, and the decomposers and such of the natural world would then stay away from the kill, so as not to anger the Archfey.
• Leaving the unicorn, the party eventually discovered the headwaters of the Skunk River. The waters bubbled up from natural hot springs, and Elzney was eager to take a cleansing bath.
• The giant frogs and poisonous bushes there had other ideas, but the group was eventually able to slay the beasts and claim relaxing baths. Elzney remained, 'Four seconds from being inappropriate.'
