Session 3: Journey to Orlane Days 22 and 23 of Readying

The players gathered together at the Bragg's Post Inn in Hochoch and had a discussion with an elven fighter named Myrtle Dixon. This included Chiki "The Turtle", Calbach, Gnorcia, Lhoss, Kyro, Ronan, and Chalkboi. After a brief discussion, Myrtle agreed to travel with the group to Orlane to investigate the strange reports that the group has received.

A discussion was made about plans, and then the group went to sleep, got up the next morning, and several met with Hilja Levandi, a professed Druid, at the grove of Obad-dai. The high priestess of the grove confirmed her membership, and a large black bear, apparently a friend of Hilja, briefly appeared to the group. Hilja appears to have made a special connection with Ronan.

The group then all met back at Bragg's Post and began travel to Orlane. The trip took four days, and nothing unusual happened. The group observed the Dim Forest to the north, and the river and swamps to the south, and arrived in Orlane, which appeared to be a small village composed of farmers, at least that was the observation initially.

The group observed that there was caution in the air, as young children were quickly brought inside when they were seen, and a teenage girl quickly went into her house. Her father came out when hailed, and answered questions briefly in a quiet but firm manner, pointing out the general locations of two inns in town.

Following the directions of the (farmer?) from the home, they proceeded to a large wooden inn, called the Golden Grain Inn. The proprietor, Bertram Beswill, greeted them jovially, but when asked about problems in Orlane, flatly denied them, saying that they are a quiet farming village, worshiping Merikka, goddess of the harvest, and referencing the stone temple that was observed somewhat to the east of the village.

That was the conclusion of the adventure, with all participating in an afternoon meal. I will allow general posts in front of the group here in the inn for a game time period of three hours. You can also use that time to do individual questing and such on your own forum pages. We will begin game play again about 5:00 PM.

For reference, in game time, it is the 22nd day of Readying (which is the first month of spring). Each month has 28 days. Coldevn will be the next month, followed by the Growfest festival, which is celebrated up to 7 days in some locations.
