| Waverly House |
This week’s session begins with us
reunited at the Waverly farm and large areas of turned over earth caused by a
bulette; gone were the animal carcasses from the night before seemingly
consumed by the earthen eating magical beast. After stabling the remaining
animals, securing the area, and making sure the servants are safe we begin
making our preparations for another attack by staking out positions that best
utilize our strengths.
Syrendross atop the barn, the
dwarves Dolgrin and Barit in said barn. Kyras and Kotri about 30 yards out, a
reduced-in-size Dramen comfy inside a rope-trick, and Kyras staked out inside
the little house on the prairie.
About an hour after sunset the
summoner attacked with undead wolf-like creatures and his Eidolon, now in a monstrous
winged form. We quickly run the spell-caster off and after the undead are
destroyed, Syrendross teleports the heroes of virtue, sans followers, to
Harbinger Industries- the most likely place we believe the summoner retreated
to.

We arrive to a busy farm despite
the late hour, rich smells of food, and second dinner where elven and human
farmhands eat. We are greeted by ‘spoon-man’ who escorts everyone save for
Dolgin to tables of food and libations. Outside Dolgrin befriends a group of
affable laborers who lend some nuance to the Harbinger ‘intersecting business’
plot and their motivations in acquiring the Waverly lands.
Inside the forty-plus room
palacious farmhouse, Rydin and the remaining group ask around for Bathanon but are
instead greeted by April (Bugsy’s wife) who thinks said mercenary could be with
her husband down by the canal.
A half hour away from the Gallant
and 15 minutes from Harbinger; the canal we all arrive to contained idle river
traffic and the newly acquired riverboat casino/ former brewery and tavern; as
well as the impeccably dressed and authoritative Bugsy Charmichael; and the
(evil*) mercenary Bathanon.

Bathanon claims to be in the area
for different reasons (possibly this?), but finally comes to terms about recent
events after Rydin explains how we have intersecting business. After much
discussion, amongst the party and between Bathanon and his employer Bugsy, there
was an agreement, predicated on the Waverly family endorsement: the Waverly
farm change their tobacco crops to hops to sell exclusively to Harbinger
industries. This will assure the attacks will stop; however Kyras further
insists that the Waverly livestock be replaced and the druid will take this
accord to the Waverly’s. Together Dramen and Rydin make Eye-contact with Bathanon; Dramen also mentions the summoner we ran into and this is where we
learn the name Ornap Caroom.
With that behind us we travel back
to the road community where Kyras explains to Pa Waverly the agreement and
encourages him to accept; Pa Waverly agrees provided Kyras bless his fields on
the morrow. At the Gallant we meet the summoner Ornap again, this time the
meeting is more cordial. He is an Eye member and is business-like in his apology;
he buys us a round of drinks, and says he will personally replace the lost
livestock ;-).
Ornap plans on traveling to Bier
De Weitz, the ‘land of opportunity’, to make contact with Ipsen. He informs
Dramen and Rydin the only Eye member he knows about in Miar Moshea is an elf
spy (from Lockshire) named Grell. Personally Ornap is glad there was a solution
without the loss of life, namely his own, at the Waverly house.
The rest of the night passes. On
the second day at the Gallant (day 126) we leave for the Mine House; travel to
the Waverly house for Kyras to place his blessing on the fields; and eventually
encounter the foreshadowed bulette.
Overcoming the bulette’s defenses
we destroyed the monstrosity, were awarded 2,000 xp for the creature, and 3,000
xp for ‘intersecting business’. We pick up next week at or hear the Mine House.
