Session 0+1

Veksle, Storms 1st

We are participating in a coordinated strike on Tarrant.
Our objective is a small logging community.
To create a staging ground for further ground advances.
We were successful, on our way back to our landing zone.
We are ambushed on the way back.
4 Elves. Kill 3, one runs away.
We keep one of them alive.
We bind our POW and take her back to our camp
On the way Marcellus notices some smoke in the direction of our camp
Upon arrival it looks as if our ship took some fire damage
Scattered, dead, Tarrant soldiers
Cadyn appears to have been victorious
Captain Foster informs us that they were ambushed shortly after we left

We take turns watching our POW

As we arrive in Wayte we see 4 new large exploring ships

Very similar to the ones that went in the fog a year ago [tippy title="(note)"]The scout ships didn’t go into the fog. The fog had already broke before they left. 1) Fog breaks, 2) true gods and divine magic shows up, 3) technology for oceangoing vessels revealed, 4) arcane magic revealed. These happened in that order within the first few months. Fog has currently been gone about 2 years. - DM[/tippy]

Coletrane drops our POW off at the prison

We then do our usual debriefing and turning in our gear at the quartermaster

During our debriefing we can hear Prince Astin Waylen screaming about something at Captain Foster

Slurring too, pretty drunk

Marcellus tries to gather information about the new ships in port

gains no useful knowledge

Everyone goes to the Green Man
Pretty busy, lots of chatter about the new ships
Marcellus and Hetzer hob-knob

They're here for an inspection by the Queen, then sailing to Haarn

While walking back to the barracks late at night a commoner runs at us with a garden hoe
He clocks Anton with it, who then promptly knocks him out in one swing
Coletrane checks for magical effects, none

Hetzer notices that he's been drinking, a lot

Coletrane picks up the body and carries it to the prison
While there Hetzer asks about our elf prisoner

Shackles paid a visit, but that's all we learn

Vite, Storms 2nd

Everyone, except Coletrane, goes to pay a visit to our attacker, Gregor, from last night
He looks really hungover, spent some time vomiting
He apologizes about assaulting us
Says elves are holding his family hostage and made him do this
Hetzer wants to have Marcellus act dead and for the Commoner to bring him as "proof"
He says there are 4-5 of them at his house
They check on the elf prisoner to see if she knows anything

They go no where slowly with her

The group, after picking up Coletrane, then goes to inform Jessica of the possible elves on Cadyn
We catch her up to speed on the events of Gregor

She writes up orders for the quartermaster and jailer

We get our gear and then head back to Gregor

Marley recommends using a real dead body instead of one of us faking it, we agree

While leaving Wayte for Gregor's farm we see all 4 of the new ships sailing NE

Arrive at Gregor's
Our plan works, mostly.
There were 4 elves and 1 dwarf, only one elf survives
We also save all the family members
We try and track where these Tarrants came from
Fabian finds tracks leading north
Marcellus interrogates our POW
He says they were dropped off via boat on the northern coast
Anton confronts him on the absurdity of their plan and 0 chance of success

He just says it was a long shot, but offers no other explanation

We make him take us to where he arrived by boat, its empty
Same place the tracks lead to
Boat is to return in a couple days for pick up

signal is a flag, any kind will do

Walk back to Wayte
Drop off another POW
Report to Jessica
She also tells us some news from the Queen
Apparently one of the ships that went into the fog a year ago found a large, bountiful land.
Our new orders will be to accompany the 4 new ships to this land.
Jessica and Captain Foster will be joining us.
About 70-80 day journey
We leave in 10 days
We are prohibited from discussing this mission with anyone else
The scouts found no signs of intelligent life on this new land

If we are to encounter any civilizations, we are to attempt diplomacy first
