Blue Man Group (Session 10) - Emmanir 19, 888 F.S.

Heading to Schnorking
We leave the beach and start heading east toward Schnorking. Along the road to Schnorking, we meet a lizardman dressed up as Santa Claus. He hails us, and hands each of us an item:

Sophia receives a sword

Yukon receives staff

Flick receives a spoon

Estenel receives a vial

The Santa-lizard then says that he must hurry off because he has many gifts to distribute.

Odd little lizard.


Ambush at the Barn
We continue our travel toward Schnorking. After a while, we come upon a man standing by the road. He is waving to us and is dressed in commoner’s clothing. As we approach him, he asks us for help to heal his family, who had been attacked by wolfen. We accompany him to his farm. The farm house is burned to the ground; the barn is still standing. We get close to the barn, when the human yells, “NOW!” The human takes off flying for the barn. The barn doors burst open, and a 20-foot long monitor lizard runs toward us. There are several small blue naked humanoid creatures near the barn, holding ropes that opened the barn door. Combat ensues. A few seconds into combat, another human appears who is standing on the barn; he is casting a spell. Then, several of the small naked humanoid critters grab random items (barn boards, sticks, rocks) and begin to run into battle.

During the fight, Ecran and Tavarius go unconscious. The two mages (the one on the barn and the one who lured us into this trap) fly away. One of the blue naked goblin-ish creatures begins drink Tavarius’ blood.

The remaining blue guy pleads for his life. He offers to go after the mages, being how he sees them as cowards for flying off. He says that he will show us where they live.

The little blue guy says that Costuhshee is his master and that he will be coming soon. He also said that he and his troupe were sent here to trap to people. He says that the mages work for some ice queen. Costuhshee can’t get here until the gate is finished, which is located to the north near the active volcano. Apparently, the ice queen has agreed to finish some road for Costuhshee. The blue guy says that once Costuhshee gets here, they’ll be able to kill the ice queen, too.


At the Temple of the Mages
The blue guy agrees to lead us to the temple where the mages live. We make camp for the night on the way to find the temple where the mages reside. During the night, the blue guy wriggles free of his bonds and leaps away. The next morning, Flick seekers one of the mages that had fled from the fight and we make chase after him. The seeker leads us to a house built into a hill. Inside the house, behind the closed front door, there is the sound of growling. We decide to send Sophia ahead and try to calm the dogs. Flick picks the lock on the front door. Sophia goes inside the front door and successfully calms the dogs inside the front room. Sophia, after seeing the dogs, has no desire to be in this house.
