The Sunday Game Session 2
The party reaches Hag's Rest. They go to the Lawbringer's outpost to report the aggressive Goblin activity to the south east of town. From there, they head to the Seeker's outpost to do some research on the Skull Mountains the mysterious monastery that resides within them. Vieko and Fargrim learn that whoever built this temple used Dwarven as a base alphabet, but aren't able to glean much more than that. Vuplu spends his time diligently marking all of the books on past history and government that the present is not bound by the past. Jezzara finds her way to the reliquary and pockets a golden egg with gems inlaid in it and a hinge on one side.
From there, they find an inn to stay at here Jezzara is recognized and they are put up for free. The next morning, they start their journey to the Skull Mountains. Along the way, they are assaulted by a group of Gnolls, but deal with them handily. They reach the mountains and begin climbing a switch back trail that will lead them to this monastery. As they climb, they hear the sweet harpy's song and half the party runs haphazardly down the side of the trail they've been following. After a brief skirmish, the party defeats the harpies as well, finding the cave to be full of bones that belonged to Small sized creatures.
As they begin the second leg of their climb up the mountain, they notice that Kobolds are watching them. Shortly after, one Kobold steps out onto the path and begins speaking to them. It demands a toll to use this path which Vuplu pays quickly. As they move past the Kobolds, Jezzara casts a spell to allow her to understand their language and hears them talking to each other about how they never thought that would work. The rest of their climb is uneventful and they reach the front of this temple. Carved across the front, in Dwarven, are the words "The Temple of Kings". The party stops to consider their next moves.
