Five Tower Keep Session 25: 02/21/2019 Let’s Get This Out Of The Way, Divine Intervention Seems More Likely Than A Complement From Rob.

We pick up this week’s game session with a recap of the past few days of travel to the next stone garden. Along the way we are able to fulfull and 20% of the poisonous reptiles our characters were tasked to gather. We also encounter a variety of insects, reptiles, swamp trolls, as well as large ugly birds in the air; all this is accompanied with a feeling of being watched.

We arrive to the second stone garden on our 'list' where we find several roaming basilisks including a couple of dead ones near an opening into the earth. A group of half-orcs who had been turned to stone stand in a circular formation also catches our eye. Two of these are dressed in chainmail armor and holds a large sword; another one is armored in leather or other light armor holding two scimitars; the remaining others are clad in robes and leather clothing and have a lot of animal foci upon their persons indicating themselves as some kind of shaman.

Draco comes up with the plan to isolate the whiteish basilisk, one the farthest from the other five, and go after it. While this is going on Alaric, Fulroc Shystermeth and Weston are attacked by forest drakes, and when their battle was fully realized- all involved where dropped into a sink hole and out of site.

  

Eventually our characters are successful in defeating the basilisks; we next turn our focus on the half-orc group of stone statues and begin to apply basilisk blood to the half-orc wielding the bastard sword. But while our attention is focused on the half-orc statues, from the entrance of the tunnels emerge three wingless first world dragons: Peludas.

We kill two of the three peludas and finish the evening restoring three of the half-orcs save for the one with the two handed sword and the shaman/druidic looking one. The three, when they wake, gasp for air and react. The other characters will come out of the cavern just in time to see the peludas flee.
