Keep on the Borderlands

Dorn wags his head agreeably with splitting full shares, his mind already envisioning the rewards to come.
"So we return to the caves and pick up where we left off?"

Faldal also agrees with the split, and to go back to the goblins, ready to settle the score.

OOC: how much hit points does Faldal have when leaving the keep?

Also happy to agree to the split, Leozaren picks up and attempts to twirl across his knuckles his one silver, but drops it loudly off the table. With a rueful grin as he demonstrates his clumsiness he quickly tucks it, and the coppers, into his purse.

Then he joins the others in heading back to the goblin caves.

Dungeon Master:
Faldal heals 1-3 HP per day of rest; he will be fine in two days.  If anyone wants to buy something or do something during the second day say so, and we move on back to the caves on the third day.

The party departs the Keep again, well-rested and ready for more adventure.  The trek to the caves is uneventful, by now a familiar march of a few hours, including stops for rest.

The party is welcomed back at the keep though the news of poor Wort's demise casts a pall over the place.  Abercrombie the Chaplain announces a special service on the next day for him.  It is a solemn affair and the party is urged to have a representative say a few words.  Afterwards they can take the time to rest, heal and regroup.

Faldal goes to Gyp. "I can say a few words, but since you hired him it might be better if you are the one talking."

Accustomed to gaiety rather than sober speech Gyp was reluctant to speak but felt duty bound. The glum looking fool doffed his cap and wringed it his hands and he stood before the congregation.

“Wort” he wiped a tear from his eye, his flare for the dramatic unchastened “a true and brave soul. He died as he had lived protecting those weaker than his himself. An embodiment of the Keep and the shelter and protection it offers to locals and travellers alike. May he be remembered and may he find rest in his long sleep ahead” Gyp bowed low and shuffled away as he sniffed into his cap.

With the service over the townsfolk return somberly to their lives and over the course of the day life returns to normal.  Joop was particularly quiet during the ceremony and goes home to his barracks while the party recovers and prepares for the next foray.



Okay, what is the plan?

The mourning past, Faldal goes to Gyp and the others. "We certainly miss Wort, and I for one don't want to let his death unavenged. But we probably will need a replacement." he says, looking at the fool.

Suddenly the blackness lifted, and Leozaren slowly opened his eyes. He was in a bed, back at the keep, a place he recognised. He felt terrible, but he was glad to at least be alive. He was also thirsty, hungry, and more than a little curious to know how everyone else was...where everyone else was. He lifted his head...and instantly regretted it. The room spun wildly, and immediately Leozaren lowered his head and closed his eyes. This would take time.

22:05, Today: Leozaren rolled 2 using 1d3.

Faldal passes by the chapel to inquire on the status of his elven friend. Learning that he needs a bit more time to recover, he goes over to the tavern to catch up with his friends, having spent some time in prayer since they got back from the caves.

Erik arrived at the keep late the previous evening.  The place was in a somber mood with many of the locals looking a bit down, but by evening things seemed to become more lively.  Tired from his journey, he got a room in the Traveler's Inn and crashed for the night.  This morning he is up, refreshed, and ready to find adventure.

Refreshed by a good nights sleep indoors, Erik heads out in search of...breakfast. Hopefully he would find some like-minded individuals willing to risk their lives for a bit of gold. The best place to find both would be the tavern he wagers, and heads over to the One-Eyed-Cat. Passing by the innkeeper, Erik hands over his 2 silver for the night with a quick smile.

"Lovely accommodations good Sir. With any luck I'll be able to rent one of your private rooms in a few days."

Faldal notices the newcomer, but is currently more concerned by his companions who should be joining him shortly. Or so he thought.

"Aye, next time you pay in advance, good sir," Wilf the inn-keeper says taking the two coins.

The One-eyed Cat is not very busy for breakfast.  Standing out is a young man in plate mail sitting at a table.  (Faldal)

Erik orders some bread, cheese, and a small beer then moves to the table of the armored man.

“Mind if I join you?” Erik asks with a smile. “You have the look of a warrior. I have heard of a small band that has been attacking the evil that dwells near here. I presume you are one of them? I’ve just arrived at the Keep with the same goal in mind.”

"Please sit down, what's your name?" asks Faldal with a smile. "My name is Faldal, acolyte of the chapel here in the Keep. I have been a number of times to the caves, that is true, but it is a wicked place, full of dangers. We lost a follower during our last trip there."

He takes a sip from his mug, pensively.

"My friends should be arriving soon. Tell me about you while we wait." he proposes.

"My thanks Faldal, I'm Erik."

Erik has a seat at Faldal's table and waves at the servers to let them know where to bring his food and drink.

"Well, I suppose like many that find themselves venturing out to the borderlands, I have found myself without gainful employment and in a fair amount of debt. I was told there were fortunes to be made out here for those brave enough to face the evil that lies out in the wilderness. As far as skills go, I know how to fight, so my options are limited; but I don't mind putting them to good use."

"What manner of dangers have you faced in these caves? Are they as full of riches as the rumors say?"

"There is riches to be found there, for sure. And we brought back some. But the danger is relentless. I lost my young friend Dynlor, acolyte like me, even before I was able to reach the Keep. Last time we met oozy acidic cubes and a monstrous owlbear. We lost one in our friend's hireling to it before coming back." His eyes light up suddenly. "But that crime will not go unpunished."

Erik listens intently to Faldal, his eyes noticeable widening at the mention of an owlbear.

"All of that in one place? Amazing. I've hear of such creatures, but never encountered them."


Erik takes a moment to eat and drink before continuing.

"I am sorry that you have lost so many comrades. I would be willing to help you avenge them if have need of my sword...well...hammer at any rate. When do you return to the caves?"

"One elven companion is still recovering from our last trip to the caves. Once he is ready to go, we should be able to depart. I am currently waiting for the two other party members: Gyp the fool and Hjild the dwarf. But they take a surprisingly long time to come!"

The cleric starts to show signs of impatience...

"That sounds like quite the company; low in number but a good mix of skills. But what does a fool brings to the table?"

"How eager are the locals to joining an expedition? Maybe I could find an additional fighting man amongst the Keeps guard?"

"Guile is indeed useful, as are hirelings. Before we depart I will see if I can recruit someone."
