Heroes of Enroth - Session #13
And so, after having a ~miserable~ time in the feywild, our adventurer's find themselves flung into the near future... well, 4 or 5 months at most. This would not have been too bad if it were not for the fact that it seemed to be enough time for the army of Hest to invade and capture Ashkora and, if the rumours hold true, kill its Lord.
Dire news indeed!
However, more dire is the news Nosh now imparts to the group...
"Thanks for the rescue mates. I can't believe I was stupid enough to let my appetite get the better of me! So where have you guys been? I looked for ya but yer trail ran cold in Isolta..."
(the group explains where they have been...)
"Really? The Feywild? Been there a couple times myself. Nice to visit and all, but yeah, you know how it is having been there yourselves I suppose. Back on topic, these Hest regulars stormed in with a winter storm. Took our men by surprise and killed or captured the lot. Lot of civilian casualties too. I was at the keep when it happened and barely got out with my life. I watched as they butchered Lord Ashkore and mounted his head on a pike. Not pretty, not nice and threw my appetite off for a week! The 'borns been tracking me ever since. Most of the army has moved out and is camped on the other side of Osserland and more troops from Hest are meeting them there. Looks like Midland is next."
"I have a couple things for you that the Lord wanted me to get to you once I found ya. But right now, we got a couple priorities. I gotta go see Elmo and get the latest on the Hest movements. You guys gotta storm the keep and free the militia-men in the dungeon and rout whatever is left of the 'borns in Ashkora. I know a hidden way into the dungeons and you guys should be able to handle that on yer own."
Nosh quickly sketches out a rough map showing a sally-port on the keep. He then glances out the window, "I'll be back, but looks like you got some to deal with here right now..." and he turns back into a raven and flies out the door as a unit of dragonborn approach down the street...
