Session 42

Mogadisho, Warlord of Gulg

PCs (lvl 13): Halbarad, Dornal, Phatim, Torak

The party is in Tyr, where they're approached by Mingon of Asticles, a noblewoman affiliated with the Asticles family. She hires the PCs to provide additional protection to a caravan departing from Tyr and bound to Gulg.

Apart from its cargo of metal ores, the caravan will carry a bronze coffer containing a present for the Forest Queen herself, Lalaly-Puy of Gulg. The PCs need to make sure that the gift reaches its destination.

The PCs investigate the box with magic, and discover that it is protected by powerful spells. Unable to open the box without leaving any trace, they decide to keep a close eye on it, and join the caravan.

The voyage to Gulg seems uneventful. But two days before reaching their destination, the caravan is attacked by a horde of raiders. The PCs and the other caravan guards fight for their lives, and repel the attackers. While they're licking their wounds, a new armed force arrives at the scene.

This is a war party from Gulg, led by the warlord Mogadisho. They are here to escort the caravan to Gulg, and the PCs to the Sorcerer-Queen.
