Post Mortem

The streets have pretty much cleared as they stand around the body though the occasional call for guards can still be heard in the distance.

Slowly approaching wall of smoke. Tyrus goes looking for the eversmoking bottle, imploring Sero, Juxhil and Ulfgar to behave. Juxhill and Sero disappear into the smoke.

A member of The Fists of Korrughan arrives and starts to query Ulfgar as to what happened. Tyrus reappears and casts Rest Eternal on the corpse, prompting the female warrior to cast Shield on herself.

Tyrus mentions her "compatriots" approaching only to realize that the two approaching warriors are from the Order of the Blade.

There's a bit of tension, eventually Tyrus starts gently backing away. Bill or Ben turns up with caravan as apparently Sero told him to get it ready. As the Blades draw steel and look like they might be about to get violent Ulfgar loudly objects, saying that they were having a nice chat and everyone should be nice and talk this out in a civilized fashion.

4 more fists turn up, and the Blades decide that a re-assessment is likely in order just as an arrow strikes him in the shoulder.

As fracas kicks off our heroes remove themselves and head off in the caravan towards the gates of the city.

A Familiar Face At The Gates

As they head off in the caravan with Ulfgar riding shotgun while Ben drives and Tyrus inside with Bill, they make it to the outskirts of the city within sight of the outside gate when there's a thump from the outside of the caravan. The first of the Blades is thrown off with a Colour Spray from Ulfgar, and the second insists they should allow him to take them into custody for their own protection. Tyrus doesn't get the sense he's after their best interests so he invokes Duke Stickington but doesn't land a hit.

Two axe-wielding members of the Fists jump onto the caravan as it reaches the gates and both Tyrus and Ulfgar notice an angry dwarf insisting that the horrible creature with it should be allowed into the city.

Tyrus yells "Brannock!" and the looks up at the caravan hurtling towards him.

Brannock knocks a guy off the wagon and fights him where he lands, while Ulfgar and Tyrus continue to fight. Ulfgar turns a guy into embers with Scorching Ray. This prompts Brannock's opponent to take a step back and disengage, so Brannock mounts Bhetsy Buzzcot and follows after the caravan.

Catching Up

At first, not much is said when the group finally feel it's safe to pull to the side of the road. Tyrus presents Brannock with the battleaxe he had crafted from Imthaikalus' remains and asks what Brannock was doing heading into Age-Honen. The dwarf explains that he couldn't go see his family. Somewhere along the way Gerrant decided he wanted to go in another direction and so they went their seperate ways.

They travel for a couple of days without much incident catching up as they go. Tyrus casts [[1]] with the following message:

"Had to leave in a hurry. We're on the way to Dan Moreld. Will we see you there?"

The reply he receives is not entirely unexpected:

"Negatory. Last few days weeks months years decades stressful; taking short long indefinite sabbatical. Will be in touch. What do you mean I can't correct"

A Wild Obankot Appears

They are in a relatively wooded area of the plains when they begin to have difficulty navigating the caravan through, slowing them dramatically.

As they are battling through undergrowth they are startled to hear a bellow from a large beast that is approaching. We recognize it as a Bison. Turns out he's a Dire Bison, being hunted by Obankot Nafele who joins the fray.

Ulfgar & Tyrus get trampled hard. Ulfgar suffers more though. The Dire Bison is ABOUT to get away when Ulfgar fireballs it to death after Obankot fills it with much arrow damage.

Tyrus asks Obankot why he was hunting it.
