The Shadow War

#6 Veggie Tales

The Hook

The group makes their way to new Favroia.

Prelude

In New Moravia
There's a bunch of people trapped.
I'm not sure we can help them; it's hard enough keeping this spot clear.

Summary

After some discussion, the group assembled supplies and prepared for their trip. They secured supplies and the Gruncle assigned two convicts to help them as bearers: Henri and Terho. They started off on the trip and Henri quickly proved difficult, including an attempt to rob them and disappear into the Green. Terho had little patience for him and appeared to be a much more hardened criminal.

As they journeyed they were attacked by a handful of spiders who were not in their normal location. Together, the group made short work of them and it was very clear that Terho was a force to be reckoned with. Henri continued to be the butt of many jokes and was not popular with the others.

They made their way towards the city. As they came to the root, they encountered a small squad of ape-men. Luckily, Peeter spoke their language and they were able to secure safe passage with them and they even provided guides for the last portion of the trip. They finally made their way up the mountain to the walls of the city.

It was quite a sight. Everywhere, there were plants, giant vines covered much of the city, looking like something from a horror scene. They could see a single airship floating above the city with a small circle free of vines below it. They made their way towards it, being careful not to touch any vines. When they arrived, they were surprised to find Randall and Charlene at the base of it.

They quickly conferred and Randall told the group there were a number of humans trapped in a nearby building. The group spoke only briefly before deciding to mount a rescue. They moved to the building but along the way they were attacked by some strange plant-like humanoids. To no one's surprise, Terho acquitted himself well, but Henri quickly succumbed to the poisonous touch of the creatures.

Despite their victory, things were intense and the vines began moving and they saw more of the creatures in the area. They were very careful not to touch any vines as they made their way to building. They saw that it was fairly large, with three doors. Each door had a squad of the creatures working to destroy it. It seemed they were not smart enough to even turn the knob.

The heroes fell upon the group on the left end of the building and began working to kill them. They did well, but the other two groups became aware of them and began moving in their direction. Peeter used a spell to hide them, but it also hid the monsters from them. Having killed the first group, they quickly entered the building and found dozens of people huddled within. Working quickly, they made their way to the top-floor of the building where they were able to make short work of the remaining creatures.

They then guided the survivors back to the airship where Randall and Charlene awaited them. They were able to being loading the ship for the probably dangerous return to the capital.
