Session 19

Session 19... or...   What has 3 heads and a +20 attack bonus?

Combat! Combat galore. We started off fighting the hill giant 'Brainy'  and his Skullcreeper clan of orks. Tlik got one hit KOed by a critical from Brainy's club,  lucky for him his dog was there to carry him out of combat. It was a tough battle, but our heroes triumphed, but at the moment of our victory the villans gave a call for peace.. everyone groaned. The deal was they'd spare Tlik's half dead corpse for their hides. But Theo and Trista were going to have none of that, and killed them. Fortunately, after Brainy went down, the rest of the orks were kind of fearing for their lives and unable to carry out the retributive execution orders of their leader.

A few dead orks and a heal potion later, and everything was fine again. Spent a lot of time looking around the cavern. There was some talk in orkish to the captured ork prisoners, something about a beast or whatnot. Not sure what that was about. Theo was much more interested in Brainy's magic helmet, a skull-looking thing that lets him buff the party more! yay!

Found the captured girl. Basic reaction: "Uh.. yeah.  Thanks.  I guess." Father was glad to see her though, and has promised to comprise a song in our honor and improve our rep around town. Everybody wins, except for the orks and Brainy... cause they're dead.

Chatted in town about this beast guy, found out he is the guardian of some long dead temple. Dead temples sound like farms for godsblood, so we're going to have to go put our foot down on this one. Plus we figure that the cult has probably already gotten there. And we're trying to infiltrate and/or kill them, if you recall. Went back to the cave found a Chimera, which we take it was the beast. Killed it. Ended the session there.

Bookkeeping:   next games on sundays instead of tuesdays. It's official! We're level 6. Now I can go tell all my friends that I have an epic level character. Theo updated his pic to reflect his growing badassery. Will update token next session.
