Around the Campfire: An Adventurer's Journal / Episode 5

Currently discussing the events of Episode 5.

The next week is spent training and learning their way around Haven. Who is who, and what is what, not to mention where. Over all a fairly quiet time of learning and rest, whose end is punctuated by the sound of a large gong being struck repeatedly, followed by assorted denizens of Haven making a mad dash to the walls. Taking this as a cue that something bad might be happening our intrepid party decides to follow the example set by the other residents of Haven, and make their own dash to man the wall.

Arriving in time to see a veritable sea of straw men the players are engulfed and soon fighting for their lives. The straw men prove to be easy foes quickly cut down by steel and flame, however the true threat soon materializes as a stone man charges in and tries to punch a hole in the defenses. A long battle ensues eventually driving Graul to take a defensive stance, and forcing Jand to the forefront of the epic struggle, but it is Audvin who delivers the killing blow, ending the threat.

Elsewhere the battle seems to have ended in an equally favorable manner for the defenders of Haven. The adepts soon find out that these skirmishes are a fairly regular occurrence, it is as if the Horrors in the ruins of Parlainth do not want to be forgotten.
