| Description | I met a steel ranked adventurer near the job board, who was looking for comrades for an iron job. Nobody of the irons showed up for the job, so I and several other bronze adventurers offered our help. The job was to find bandits, who have stoled wagons from villagers and to put an end to their crimes. So in order to attract wagon-stealing bandits we needed a wagon and we borrowed one at the guild. We assumed drunk barbarian Nor who was laying nearby was the owner of the wagon, so we also took him and a couple of barrels of ale with us. Our expectations were met and out wagon did attract the bandits, raiding transport near the village, where we were heading. During the fight, we killed several bandits and managed to take one as a hostage. He was talking in a strange language, which we found to be Undercommon later.
As we arrived in the village, we entered a tavern where we found the questgiver. Also there was a suspicious priestess, who stated, that she had started learning Undercommon recently and was able to translate the bandit's speech. We interrogated him, but he wasn't talkative enough, so Leleina intimidated him and it worked. Then he told us the priestess was the chief of their gang. We didn't fully believe him, but told Harvey, who gave us that quest, to watch out for her. Also we found out the supposed place of the bandit's lair and went there. We found surprisingly narrow entrance in the lair through which the bandits managed to drag wagons. We passed through it and faced a group of bandits who where resting near the stolen wagons. Also there were some barrels with powder and as we began to fight several of them blew up and destroyed one of the wagons. This time we managed to take chief of this particular group as a hostage. Also while inspecting wagons we found Nor still peacefully sleeping in one of them. We continued to move deeper in the cave and when we were passing through another narrow opening we encountered the same priestess we saw in the tavern. So we put two and two together and understood the she was indeed in the command at this gang. Then she used some mechanism and both sides of the passage collapsed and the formed room began to fill with water quickly. Last moment we figured out how to stop this trap as we found part of the mechanism and a lever on the ceiling. Unfortunately, during this flood our unconscious hostage drowned. As we continued exploring the cave we again met the priestess, but this time she accompanied with a berzerker and a duergar. That duergar was large and knocked unconscious our wizard with his first strike. What can I say, the fight didn't go well for us and at some point I was the last man standing while all my teammates were taking a nap. I woke up on of them with healing potion, he woked up other one and we managed to win the fight and to capture the priestess. We took her and the stolen wagons back to the village. The wagons were returned to their rightful owners and the priestess was brought to justice and imprisoned. Up to the moment when we returned to the guild hall Nor didn't wake up for anything other then taking another sip of ale and going back to sleep, so we didn't had a chance to propose him money for the wagon we borrowed for the mission. In this way we saved our money and Nor took part in adventure, which he will never know about. |
