Recap from previous Session
After talking with Lira, the group got a clue about an old abandoned farm in the mountains. A hunter from a nearby village had seen tracks in a mountain pass a few hours away that lead in the direction of the abandoned farm. The group got some clues regarding Lira’s affiliation, and it seemed to have caused some questions. The cracked Silver Flame trinket and her “May the Shadows guide you”. They left Dawnhaven and found the mountain pass after a few hours. In the pass the found a bunch of Basiliskets (aka Basilisk babies) who the killed. Sarodan was downed, but got up again. Soon after killing the babies, Davira sent Sky, her owl, into the cave and ended up being partially petrified by the Basilisk inside. The group decided to fight and eventually killed the basilisk. End session.
Session Notes
Took manages to collect a hose of Basilisk Blood. They examine the cave and find nothing. Davira Lun tries to dissect the basilisk’ eyes, but are unsuccessful. The group takes a short rest. The group then continues towards the abandoned farm. The arrive at a vale with the farm in middle of it, surrounded by a kind of a marsh. Took Farfist & Vesryn Tilrisen approaches, with Took trying to go close and get more information about the farm. He rolls a Nat 1 on the perception check.
