Session 2 Begins, August 10, 17 IC

After two days of flight, Mikal arrived at Ingolstadt riding Meep.  There he observed the goblinoid horde breaching the walls and storming the city.  He was discovered and turned back by a goblin bat patrol, which then pursued him.  In a long chase, he killed some of the goblins and lost the rest.   After losing the goblins, Mikal returned to the rendezvous campsite to meet up with the rest of the Outlanders.

August 12

The next morning, the group started marching to another abandoned farmhouse three days away.  On the way there, a trio of goblins on riding lizards rounding up lizards running wild [due to earlier actions by the Outlanders] spotted the adventurers.

Tim hid in a tree while the rest of the Outlanders faced-off against the three lizard riders.  The goblins charged.  The Outlanders killed two of the goblin lizardriders and seriously wounded the third [who escaped] in the ensuing fight.  Darian was run down [and stepped on] by one of the lizards but survived.

August 15

At their new base of operations, the team had Casvia teleport back to Freegate to report their findings.

While waiting for Casvia’s return, Darian and Aureme attempted to track down the remaining goblin lizardrider.  They stumbled across the lizard but not the goblin rider.  Darian surprise punched the lizard and knocked it out.  As a side effect, he also knocked over Aureme, who started laughing so hard at the expressions of surprise on Darian's and the lizard's faces that she fell over.

When the two returned and reported what hap happened, the rest of the Outlanders [including Casvia, who had returned] did not believe their story and instead wondered "what really happened".

Session Ends.


Happening Off-Stage

The goblinoid horde spent two days ransacking the city of Ingolstadt before resuming their march toward Freegate.  They have effectively wiped out all leadership for the Bayern District at this point and enslaved the remaining population of Ingolstadt.  

As word spread north of the sack of Ingolstadt, every citizen of Bayern who hadn't already fled started heading towards Freegate as refugees, abandoning anything they couldn't carry or would slow them down.  As the Bayern refugees headed to Freegate, the farmers and townsfolk of Freegate's southern domain joined them.  This will lead to a tripling of the population inside Freegate's city walls once they arrive.  The Faceless Five [Freegate's leaders] worked hard to keep people from panicking.
