AAR [5H] Murder Night in Sossanopa. 2020-10-03 @ 2359 gmt

LFG: Murder Night in Sossanopa
GM: Chris D
Organized by: Redsun
Difficulty: 5 Hard 4 or 5 players.
Time: 2020-010-03 @ 2359 gmt Saturday at 8pm Eastern.
Secondary Reward: Quest for Mynbruje

Rumor: http://www.fasagames.com/forum/viewtopi ... =58&t=2047
Rumor: There is something wrong in Sosanopa, murder most foul. Two people have been discovered murdered in the last week, one a prominent local merchant. These gruesome crimes have left the locals horrified and worried about who will be next. The crimes seem to be linked but the local guards can't find the common element and have thus far been unable to find any suspects.

The leadership of Sosanopa has asked for assistance from the local adepts in locating and bringing this murder to justice before more deaths.

The following is a recollection from Jarock Hammer-Shield, a secluded Ork Weaponsmith. The text remains unaltered to maintain its authenticity. It is written in Or'zet.

Went to Sosanopa. Social call by Redsun. Wanted armor work. During lunch, found corpse in river. Gutted. Mayor said there was a mysterious death in the mill. Miller was crushed by the mill. Found a gold coin in the mill trough. Found a dead cat outside, skull bashed in. Took a boat down the river to find the boat. No issues on the boat. Dead raven on the shore. Signs of struggle 100 yards away. Suspect horror involvement. Spent the night. On return, Elisen and Redsun found Mynbruje. Called us over. Dead child windling when we arrived. Elisen had much explaining to do. Redsun hiding behind a rock. Who have these warriors become?

Returned to Sosanopa, followed footprints to Mayor's house. His wife answered window. Elisen conversed, she closed window. Double entry on the north and south doorways. Killed a dire, it turned into a child ork. Killed four ghouls. Burned bodies. Informed the town.

Elisen did ok. Missed the fight with the Mynbruje Windling child. They entered late and got knocked down, but survived. Battle location was a hindrance for them. Redsun and Mal proved highly capable as archers. Mal was poisoned, but it stopped shortly after. Nib was on astral watch, kept a lock on where enemies were. Many buffs. Good team.

From now on, people come to my forge to get armor work done. Murders not my thing. Dead children are even worse. Will have to gather intel on passions, though. Still hate journals. Weaponsmith, not Scholar.
