Hollow's Last Hope
The session began with our heroes waiting in line at the local doctor in hopes to get a cure for their sick relatives, or friends. Thelyn, Lillith, Mialee, and Varak went into the doctor's hut together and talked to Laurel, who was initially not very helpful. After she was convinced to divulge some information that she thought useless, the heroes took this information to heart and began searching for items to make a potion that would help the sick: Ironroot mushrooms, an herb called rat's tail, and some elder moss.
After coercing some information from a lumberjack at the local tavern, the group heads towards the Lumber Consortium Camp to find some directions as to where to find these ingredients. At the camp, they talk to a man named Millon Rhoddam, who gives them directions to an old witch's house who he thinks could have the rat's tail, and an abandoned dwarven monastary, where he has seen ironbloom mushrooms grow. Mailee knows where to find the oldest tree in the forest, where elder moss grows.
The group goes through the woods until they stumble across a fox caught in a trap. When Mailee approaches the trap to help the fox, the others notice a hobgoblin up in a tree, readying an arrow to shoot. The group is able to take him down quickly without a real fight and they leave him unconscious in the woods. Despite Thelyn's attempts to kill the fox to put it out of it's misery, Mailee and Lilith cruelly heal the fox as best they can and set it free in the forest.
At camp that night, the group is attacked by two wolves who put up a good fight before they are taken down. The groups sleeps uneasily on the ground in the shade of the woods.
The next day, the heroes arrive at the clearing where the Elder Tree is located. Upon approaching it, the group is attacked by a Tatzlwyrm: a weaker type of dragon that lives in the forests of the region. They are able to kill the beast and scrape the elder moss from the tree.
Later, they come to the witch's hut. Inside, they find the place long abandoned, but are able to find the rat's tail along with a few other valuables. The animated cauldron in the center of the hut, however, objects to them touching anything and attacks whoever picks up any items. The group is able to get the rat's tail and escape into the woods.
Eventually, the group makes it to the Dwarven Monastary. They make their way through the abandoned monestary and Thelyn discovers and befriends a kobold named Gruttlekep. The kobold is cowardly, but tells Thelyn where he can find the mushrooms they are looking for. The group finally makes it to the room where the mushrooms are growing, and finds them gaurded by a large wolf, who Gruttlekep called Graypelt. The group fights the wolf, and his two smaller companions until they are all badly injured and all looks lost.
Then, from behind the great wolf, tiny footsteps are heard and Gruttlekep is seen leading three other kobolds up from the stairs in the back of the room. The four kobolds attack the wolf with spears and javelins and Gruttlekep himself pours a potion down Thelyn's throat to revive him. Thelyn delivers a final blow through Graypelt's throat and the fight is finished. The kobolds warn the group not to return, but say they will allow them to rest for the night. They then return down the stairs.
After the group rests for the night to heal their wounds, they return to Falcon's Hollow the next day and deliver the ingredients to Laurel. She makes the potion from the collected ingredients and the potion is passed around to all the sick people remaining in town, including the heroes family. The potion works perfectly, and all the sick people are healed back to full health. The townsfolk know who delivered them from this disease and are all very grateful the the heroes.
