Adventure Log- After finishing all construction on Fort Dawnbreak, the logging crew is finished and Godhard sets up regular patrols to begin patrolling the already explored parts of his future domain. On the 18th 10 Hill giants are spotted walking North towards the fort, and a group of PCs and cavalry are quickly dispatched to meet them in battle. Cavalry charges and the effectiveness of their warhorses aid their attack, and their powerful magic armor protects them well. After dispatching the giants with some cav slain and Stigr quite wounded, the party is ambushed by a group of Brigands who must have been spying on the battle and took the opportunity to attack. They too are quickly dispatched, but not before one of the brigands reveals himself to be a mage and he and the party exchange fireball spells. The brigands are killed and routed by the blast, but the mage manages to get off another spell and disappears from the battlefield. An already wounded Stigr is killed in the blast, but Godhard is comforted by the fact that he recently was granted access to Raise Dead by Pelor. He is brought back to the Fort for ritual raising and recovery. Days after this, a party of PCs henchmen and a small amount of Lt Cav head out to scout and map the central hex of Godhard's lands, looking for a location to construct his keep. They head out on a 3 day expedition on which they reveal the hex to be mostly forest terrain with a fair number of small freshwater ponds and adjoining streams- nearby sources of fresh water. They find a dark dense pocket of forest covered in webs and identify some kind of spider lair, and decide to avoid it and come back later more prepared. They rout out a lair of filthy ghouls and liberate them of some treasure. They also locate a ruined town and a ruined shrine that has some iconography of the ancient evil god the Eyeless Void. They also discover a ruined moathouse not far from the center of the hex, and decide it will make a great temporary base of operations for future explorations. Lastly they do manage to encounter a working town amongst the forest terrain. It is quite large, consisting of about 2500 people. Boyo makes some connections to their unusual alignment type, and Godhard hopes to make diplomatic relations and add them to his future tax base. After about three days in the field, they return to Fort Dawnbreak to plot their next move.
Session Notes- The players are using their warhorses to great advantage in wilderness combats. The extra attacks from the horses really add up. However, getting most of their warhorses fireballed will require an expensive fix. This session we revealed all the terrain in Godhard’s central hex, and in following the domain rules in the DMG, he now needs to map out an area at the 250 yard scale that will be the actual location of his keep and its footprint on the terrain. Then he needs to search and eliminate any monsters in all of those hexes before he can begin construction. The process has been detailed, but not tedious so far. Also I recently picked up a copy of Oriental Adventures. I recently found out that the book has random tables for yearly and monthly domain events, so thought it a good pickup to help out when the domain gets formally established and needs monthly and yearly events to occur, in addition to regular patrols and random encounters.
