Session 20 : Littleton in flames

After mourning the loss of their dear friend Daisy, Jerky and Isaya do not dwell in the corrupted temple of Urgathoa, preferring to hurry back to civilization. Isaya, eager to let her father know that she has finally avenged her mother’s death, decides to pass by her elven village, but an unexpected encounter interrupts the journey.

Aaler, a fellow elf, informs the pair that a group of orcs has recently attacked a nearby human village and that the elves in the nearby village showed nothing but indifference when asked for help. The trio heads to Littleton but it’s too late… the village has fallen to the very orc group that the party had seen a few days earlier dealing with strange men from the south and chosen to ignore.

A guilt-ridden and heartbroken Jerky charges headlong into the village laying waste to the foul creatures. Isaya saves two children from a burning barn. Jerky searches for his mother and finds a note explaining that she and some others managed to escape and have gone to hide in a mysterious location that she dares not divulge.

The party then meets Shed, a man who was taken captive by the raiding group. The four face off Howling Fell and his most loyal orcs, managing to defeat the terrible leader who flees into the night. with the rest of his army.

The village is more or less clear of orcs by dusk, and now resembles a smoldering ghost town. The party holes up in the remains of Jerky’s Mother’s house to spend the night...
