B5 - Horror on the Hill - pt6 - Session 35
The party scopes out the Hobgoblin camp. Tawndi and Meneleus find the last of the Gold pouches. Gimlet secured a few wineskins. Thack gets his feet wet in the sticky mud by the lake. Meneleus leads the group toward the distant water bridge at the far end of the lake. Thack and Tawndi scramble up the side and see a canoe approaching on yet another huge lake. Tawndi makes for the tree line and readies an arrow from the hidden safety of the trees. Thack and Meneleus wait at the water's edge. Perceval and Gimlet lie down on the ground in fear.
The canoe is paddled by an elf, Kasper Greenleaf E1. After a long stand off, Kasper reveals he is the cousin of Kendra. And has sought her out to prove his innocence in an event that has led to his banishment from the Elven Nations. Kasper joins the party and they make their way along the well worn path through the dense trees. As the afternoon drags on suddenly Meneleus smells smoke ahead and he and Thack pause near the edge of the path. Perceval and Greenleaf hide opposite in the trees. The dwarf and Tawndi follow Meneleus and Thack but behind in the cover of trees.
Meneleus spots four hobgoblins at a campfire. Thack sneaks in and steals their swords, butt hey give chase and knock Thack to the ground. Battle ensues. Tawdi sends an arrow from the trees and 2 of the hobgoblins flee. The party rushes to save Thack, then after felling their foes gives chase and hunts down the fleeing partners.
The party rests then continues but doesn't make it very far before the path is blocked by a horned chameleon. Meneleus attempts to sneak around but the creature attacks and the party is split. Tawndi suffers a sharp blow. Meneleus fears the worst and casts a scroll of Sleep. The party falls victim but the chameleon is unaffected!
Meneleus throws his mirror and wakes up Thack, who wakes up Tawndi for a nice, successful backstab.
The party enters the giant clearing as the light fades, a quick walk around reveals an overgrown cemetery. And many of the graves have been recently dug up. The party retreats to the middle of the wide clearing to set up camp for what promises to be a very long night!
