Session 17

But first, a Recap of Session 16.5! I didn't forget a session! Of course not!

Got back to Delphi, chatted around, found some druids that turn into birds. Druids are named Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter, with appropriate tempraments. There's also a leader but s/he didnt have a seasonal name so I dont remember it. Theo theorizes that hobgobbos trying to kill elven god and harvest his delicious flesh and blood. Druids say this cant happen, Theo doesnt believe them.

More talks with the druids, left Helen at the Orphanage with the paladins. Ditched one useless party member, picked up another, Leora, Theo's mentally unbalanced sister. Did I mention she was a mage with a tendency to explode her living quarters? No? Well, she was graciously welcomed into the party. Got on some hippos, flew away.

And now for Session 17: Or...  the Were-ork-in  for the Weekend.

Hippos took us to a tree and guided us inside a secret door. Silly gnome inside with 4 half dead orks. Questioned gnome agressively, determined he was on the level. Gnome turns out to be a friend of the druids. He lives in a tree (lols). Gnome saved orks from infighting, and informs Hakar and by extention the party of a fearsome were-ork or two on the loose. Ok, so he's a were-wolf, who happens to be an ork. Or... Is he a were-orc that happens to be a wolf?!!! Bum bum buuuuum! We didnt ask these sorts of questions as we all agreed it would be fun to go kill him. Had fun messing with maptools, eventually came across ork encampment on an icy tundra and across a river. Stealthy party members moved into position, Theo and Moriel stayed back. Suddenly Moriel sneezes. Initiative! Archers began attack from across the river, Tlik and moriel steadily advanced. As for me, the river was not all that deep, but I swam it [janet]. Attacked the two Works, left the rest of the orks alone.

A lucky critical hit from Theo annihilated one of them who was allready low on HP, and Theo again managed to kill-steal the second orc after it had been riddled with arrows, shrapnel, and dog teeth. This earned Theo some manner of respect among the orcs who jabbered at him for a while. Theo decided just to do as Hakar said, and things turned out pretty much allright. They seem to be under the impression that Theo is a sexy shoeless god of war, and that Hakar is his master. They've promised to aid Hakar despite his questionable upbringing, because they didn't want to get their butts kicked. Hakar directs Theo through a ritual that does not involve cannabalism, and everybody ends the session happy.
