Homebrew Campaign set in the Forgotten Realms
Session 2
FOE Team 2 (Fox Stormleaf the half-orc cleric/wizard, Ox Stormleaf the half-orc barbarian, Seiken Varis the monk, and Goffrey Greycastle the human fighter) wanted to get out of the evil city of Bane-worshippers, but first they needed to debrief the leading triumvirate. Fox completed a ritual to get a hawk familiar before breakfast. During breakfast a mysterious commoner asked the team to locate the exiles (who used to be a good faction in the city before the Bane worshippers took over).
At the meeting, the the council ordered the team to assist the guards in arresting the fiend-cult members. When the team met up with the guards at the rebel temple, they easily arrested everyone but the high priest. It turned out the HP had crucified the acolyte who revealed their secret and left a petrification trap in his office that turned 2 of the guards into statues. The team found a fiend symbol in the office desk, argued with the head guard, and searched through the hidden passage in the stairs. Inside, the team and guard captain had to defeat 3 lemurs and 5 imps. With the fiendish ritual circles in the secret room, the guard was satisfied they had enough evidence.
Before leaving town, the team also traded out gear at 2 different wizard shops. Their merchant friend asked them to investigate some forest bandits that had been stealing purple gems from one of the merchant companies. The team spent 2 days getting to the High Forest and another 5 days traveling through it, during which they had an encounter with 6 satyrs and some pixies.
The satyrs challenged Ox to a drinking contest long enough to knock him out, after which they temporarily charmed Fox and Goffrey. Once the charm ended, Fox used burning hands on 3 of the satyrs and told them to leave them alone.
The guys finally found the outer wall for the City of Many Things (which had magic runes); the city and its walls were both huge. They also discovered the camo-netting for the exile camp in the woods. They befriended Bruth, one of the 100ish exiles.
[Next time they may go back into the forest to find the gem bandits before trying to find a safe way into the dangerous City of Many Things...]
