The Players map at Session 31 - In Region F
The players map was becoming somewhat disorientated after the warpgate incident, and I'm feeling kind.
Session 31, was a significant session. The previous 2 sessions being consumed with the fight with the Harpies.
The party found the survivors of another party that had been sent to scout out the StoneSea mountain region by Parademius of Tharl-Fellen and to find evidence of what befell the previous party.
An earthquake had opened beneath this scouting party and sent them falling into a chasm, those that awoke found themselves prisoners of the harpies. The earthquake which also took a slice out of the eastern portion of Region B, can be seen on the map above.
An elf ranger and a halfing Paladin were found. The elf was found comatose from some poison and being prepared for sacrifice. The halfling, somewhat ignominiously, hanging from his own lance, about to be roasted over an open pit fire.
These new characters have brought news from the outside and have backgrounds which mesh with the current parties experiences.
The culmination of the session saw a showdown with the Rakshasa and minotaurs from the Red Horn tribe, and some rather amusing complications.
The Rakshasa simply demanded a small request for passing through his area, the killing of Graak or the leader of the Broken Axe tribe. In return for this favour he would release 2 dwarfs he had captured, they appeared to have fallen through the fissure created by the earthquake last week, they were in fact part of the scouting party and also old childhood friends of Oren.
The party mulled this over, weighed up the odds and decided to attack anyway.
Within three rounds, Curbag was slain. Oren was on -9 hit points and the rest of the party were being grappled by the Black Tentacles spell.
The party surrendered and under a vow of honour they accepted the Rakshasa's demand.
Which leaves them in an difficult position, namely :
They have to get a heart of a manticore to take back to Graak, to fulfil the obligation of resurrecting Curbag who has just been killed...again, and then fulfil the vow they have just taken.
I look forward to the next few sessions with great interest.

Is it me, or does that fire chasm look like it was drawn in afterwards, in MS paint, over *just* the area of dungeon we needed to go through to get to the manticores without running into the other lot of minotaurs?
MS-Paint indeed, that was crafted using GIMP.
You could look at it that way, depends on how cruel you think I'm being. :)
Once you leave this area, I shall show the original map and you can all decide whether it would have made a difference.
And yes the earthquake is not part of the original adventure, though it seemed a good way of getting a set of new characters in. :)
I should say! MS paint was a low blow Benedict. Bad show.
Hey, I use MS paint all the time! It's a fine tool, despite being a MS product :)
