Adventure so far –

The crew meets in the tavern and come up with an appropriate name – The Guardians, but guardians of what?   We were approached in the alley by a Vermling, who offered to sell some trash, which being the only one with money, the Savass refused to buy.

We were approached by Jeserksah? And was offered 10GP each to retrieve some papers taken by some guy who hid out in the Barrow hills.     (Scenario 1)  

Scenario 1

Along the road, we met some guards taking some prisoners headed to town.  One tried to escape, but we quickly aided the guards and started to build our renown. 

We soon arrived at the barrow hills, and defeated the creatures within, with some difficulty.  Our quarry however made it into the lair below.  We returned to town to rest our wounds and decide what is next.  We did find a map to 74 the Chained Isles.  While others gathered treasure, I continued to heal them, while they made fun of my ability to rescue failure from the jaws of success for hitting my foes.  It was true, but hurt nonetheless. 

Scenario 2

While recouping, we met a Savass who offered us a black and white coin, of mysterious origin for some trinkets. Since it was a Savass we all agreed to trade.  We asked around and learned that we might find out more at the (81) - Temple of the Eclipse.  Once refreshed we made our way to the barrow lair.  I went all out and did a bit better damage wise, but towards the last 2 rounds was exhausted.  The Vermling, Rocket, gathered a small fortune, but wind up repeating my previous error early on, and getting a couple of misses in a row.  However, in the end, the vile little Vermling, took out the commander, before the last round before he became exhausted.  We had no chance to survive, and did what we could to avoid combat, while the Inox (Groot) Brute faced 3 living corpses all oll on his own.  He had but 2 rounds before exhausted.  Uncertain of his fate, with only 1 hp left, we encouraged him to make a suicide run to succeed.  He did and HE DID!!

We knew he would, and if wrong, well, it was just a Brute.  So we congratulated him, and took as much credit for ourselves as we could.  Jeserksah rewarded us and offered another job to take care of the Inox camp raiding her caravan.   Now we have to decide what next.  

Scenario 3

We were at a crossroads.  We were asked by Jerksah? to go after some Inox bandits at their camp.  However, the Vermling, Rocket, wanted to investigate some crypt.  As Groot, our Inox, did not want to go against his brethren we went for the crypt.  

The brave Gragheart, was a bit anxious and left behind his more cautious nature.  Opening each door, before all other foes had been vanquished.  The cultist seemed to summon living bones, faster than we could vanquish them.  Alas the Gragheart, Drax, tired himself too quick.  The clean up from his team mates, however once again proved us successful.  Both Drax and Rocket, managed to gain a level of experience.   We also had two chests we recovered.  For once, Rocket was not able to get to a chest before Groot.  Unfortunately the chest was trapped.  It seems our vermling lives a charmed life.    :(
