Session 44

Shala the Hunt Mistress

PCs (lvl 13): Dornal, Halbarad, Torak

The party is thrown into the dungeons, where they meet a few fellow prisoners. Down in the dungeons, they also spot a heavily reinforced and guarded door, most probably the vault where the necklace they brought from Tyr is kept.

The night after they join the Red Moon Hunt. They're released into the Crescent Forest, with only a single weapon, while the best hunters of Gulg chase them for sport and to prove their worth to their Queen.

They do their best to escape the hunters, fighting a skilled archer named Yondar, and a band of savage b'roghs. Before the night is over, they come face to face with Shala the Hunt Mistress herself.

Having defeated this last challenge, the sun begins to rise on the horizon, as they reach a clearing and begin to savour their renewed freedom. But their joy is short-lived.

A band of Templar-brides from Nibenay is waiting for them, ready to take them into custody as "honoured guests" for their Shadow King.
