Legends of the Elsir Vale - Chapter 1: Headin' Down to Goblin Town

 After having a lungful of poison gas, the party continued on, discovering evidence of the Hucrele party in the form of a set of disarmed traps and the corpse of the ranger Karakas being munched on by some dire rats and their vicious, nasty, rat king. In the battle, Shiny contracted filth fever and the party utilized their potions of fire breath to dispose of the rats, but damaged the corpse of Karakas beyond recognition. Moving further into the Citadel, the party encountered a group of goblins practicing their accuracy at a makeshift archery range. Surprising the goblins, the party made short work of them and prevented them from summoning reinforcements.

Player Characters: Kickolas Rage - Half-orc Samurai, accompanied by his horse Jubei Travolta Marsha Mae Morass - Elf Summoner, accompanied by her eidolon Shiny (a spirit creature with the body of a crab and head of a marmot) Espada de Bosque - Half-elf Ranger Dire Angus - human Wizard      In the frontier region of ancient Garund known as the Elsir Vale, far beyond the seat of then-nascent Absalom, four travelers found themselves on the road south between their home (temporary or permanent) of Drellin's Ferry and the small hamlet of Oakhurst to attend a twice-yearly street fair. This fair centers on the auction of a supposedly magical apple: perfectly red in hue, with the reported ability to heal even magical and disfiguring wounds and illness.
