This will be the news thread for Pickle's Peppers D&D group. You know who you are.
The story thus far. After our hero's left Sybar aboard Lord Varies's yatch they landed down river. After landing, the pickle cask holding Lizbray's remains glowed with divine magical light and burst open revealing Lizbray lives! Turns out with Gorph and Vacus praying all night long, they appealed to Paleor's wisdom and he granted her life. And a pleasant dill aroma.
After being glad she was alive, Hammish, Groph, Vacus and Lizbray discussed which way to go. Gorph's clan had a claim to an over run goldmine, Hammish knew of a town to the north, and there was discussion of the Empire and Orcs. While they were making their plans, and young noble hostage named Keiph approached them. He pleaded his case of wanting to go home to Zephouris, his mountain homeland. The group weighed their options and decided to help the young lad back home.
After wandering the wilderness for 3 hours, they came upon a crossroad where they were attacked by goblin wolf riders. Following a fast paced battle with the goblins, whom the killed and routed, they found the town of Albridge. The adventures finally got to restock and resupply after what felt like a lifetime of battle. They learned the safest road leads to Marl, which is due south east of Albridge about 45 miles awaly. Zephouris is roughly 200 miles from Albridge, as the crow flies. But rumor has it that there are no straight roads to Zephouris.
Also, it is suspected Edwine overslept on the yatch nursing a hangover and should be able to find Albridge before the party departs.
