Session 1: 12/21/2008

  • Descending Water 24
    • Phoenix travels with his followers from the far east to investigate rumors of Deathlords in the Scavenger Lands. As they approach Great Forks they spot smoke in the distance, the crew is urged to stop and Phoenix leaps at the chance to investigate.
    • Phoenix discovers a smoldering and destroyed village with few remaining bodies and few clues, continues to Great Forks.
    • Phoenix arrives in Great Forks to declare he is here to destroy the Dealthlords, is directed to Thorns but no one seems willing to take them there or even knows exactly where to find it.
    • Husk has arrived in the Scavenger Lands after the urging of his warstrider Penance, and stumbled across a village under the terror of a demon. He defeats the demon, and during his stay there finds a young boy.
    • The boy, Godfried, says his village was destroyed by 'The Chaos' and that he ran here. Husk discovers that the boys village is more than a week away. Husk decides to head to Great Forks to further investigate the matter and takes Godfried back with him.
    • Sarefine has been tending to Aktuelle's Temple during his absence when he begins to here rumors of destroyed villages, after some investigation she decides to investigate the towns themselves. She finds each village destroyed and burned with no signs of any survivors, her efforts to track the force causing the damages lead to dead ends. She returns to Great Forks in search for help or more information.
    • As fate would have it as Phoenix left the city he passed by Husk, the outgoing Phoenix asked if Husk knew the way to Thorns. Obviously intrigued they struck up conversation and before long it was settled that they would stay in Great Forks for the time being to seek more information and resources to help the people of the land and fight the Deathlords.
    • Not long after their arrival the found themselves entering Aktuelle's Temple which was currently being looked after by Sarefine, who immediately recognized that she had rather important guests. Before long the three of them had agreed to help investigate the strange attacks on the surrounding villages.
    • Sarefine and Phoenix visited several local taverns in serch of more information but found no survivors of the village attacks, and ended up doing more recruiting for the Unconquered Sun than information gathering. Some information was gained from a local hunter, that the attacks happened at night and that the number of people with in the village didn't seem consistent with the number that entered and exited them.
    • Husk meanwhile visited several temples in search of answers about Godfried and other information. It was confirmed that Godfried was in fact a God-Blood and that a form of instant transportation was not completely impossible. A visit to the immaculate temple did not gain much direct information, but Husk was able to convince the Abbot to investigate the village to the South without revealing his identity as a solar exalt. He also learned that General Blood Linnet, Ministry of Military started an investigation into the attacks.
  • Descending Water 25
    • Husk and Sarefine meet with General Blood under the guise of being mercenaries, she reveals to them that the Great Forks military is increasing patrols in the area in an attempt to prevent further attacks. They are also investigation the matter to the best of their current capacity, Husk suggests that they investigate the western village and that all three parties can share information.
    • Husk, Sarefine, Phoenix set out for the eastern village accompanied by Phoenix's scout and squire, Godfried, and a local man who claims to frequent the area. Arrive in the eastern village near nightfall and begin their investigation.
    • Most of the group begins to investigate the boy's mysterious escape, meanwhile Husk and the scout discover a strange ring around the town. A bit of digging soon reveals a terrifying sight as two Spine Chains are uncovered and attack. The rest of the group rushes back and the Spine Chains are defeated without any great damage to the group.
  • Descending Water 26
    • The group works together to investigate the village a final time, and with the light of day they discover a lone skeleton in one of the collapsed homes. It is determined that the skeleton is of undead origins which offers solutions to many of the groups questions.
    • Smoke is spotted in the distance and Husk, Sarefine, and Phoenix take the remaining mounts to hurry to the source. Not surprisingly they discover another village destroyed and smoldering, the only signs are a set of tracks headed away from the village. The group hurries in pursuit, splitting directions as they come across a well traveled but eventually all joining together in a chase that seems to lose the trail of the group.
    • With no further leads the group is forced to guess at the next target, hoping that new information will help them save the next village. Sarefine and Phonenix head to the South-West villages near Great Forks where the group predicts the next attack will be, while Husk and the others return to Great Forks. Husk is to meet with the Abbot and General Blood to discuss findings and strategy on D.W. 28.
