Greternesh Play by Play

The purpose of this forum is to allow people to catch up on events that took place in sessions they missed, after each session I will post here what happened in the story

===22/9/13==

The party met up with an exiled knight looking to reclaim his honour by the name of John, they had many encounters as they traveled to the capital and learnt that tomorrow they were to go onto to Talonton to investigate Gremlin activity on a key road for trading between Crowdor and Ravenhill

===23/9/13===

The party assisted in the guarding of a duke's daughter on the way to Talonton. After a series of carriage based fights with attacking Gremlins they dropped her safely off home ready to press on to north-road and begin investigating Gremlin activity

===24/9/13===

The party began investigation of Gremlin activity by traveling to the most affected city in the area. Upon arrival they were told of a court trial going on with accused Gremlins and went to observe. Suddenly a huge team of Gremlins arrived and attacked the party. The party fought them off, then took council deciding the best place to continue their search of the area was in Merryside, a river side town that would have seen ships if the Green-Skins are based across the river in the Northlands

==25/9/13==

The party followed their idea and investigated Merryside, it was confirmed that the Gremlins are not based across the river, but in Talonton. The war against the Gremlins has gone full force after the massacre in Midwood square yesterday and the party must now find the Gremlin Captain and end him to shorten the war as much as possible and save many lives.

==26/9/13==

The party worked out that the Gremlin leader will be in the abandoned mine near Clearapple village. They began the journey there fighting through a Gremlin filled wood. Meanwhile the Talonton County war has begun and so far the Gremlins are winning

==27/9/13==

The party made its way to the battle at Clearapple and did they're best. they caused demoralization and starvation with sabotage and managed to defend a flank at the cost of the lives of the very brave Reinard and Astmeh. Sir John left the battle barely alive, alone and unsure what to do next. The mines and the boss are ahead, but Clearapple is struggling in war and John is questioning his actions in life

===28/9/13===

The party reached the mines, but found themselves outmatched and abruptly left, they will try again another time

===29/9/13===

the party navigated the mines and took care of the captain, finding information that suggested two other counties (The Slums and Petersland) were in trouble with Gremlins too, they intend to ask the Duke is they are still needed in Talonton, then go onwards to Petersland if they are not needed

===30/9/13===

the party went to Clearapple and killed the last Gremlins in Talonton, they were well rewarded and plan to go on tomorrow to Petersland to see what the Gremlins are plotting there

===1/10/13===

The party traveled to Goldburrow in Petersland, and after a few minor encounters ended up staying in John's father house, John's father turns out to be General Harold! rumors have been heard of goblin freedom movements, but nothing on Gremlin acitivty

===2/10/13== =

On behalf of General Harold, the party dealt with some goblin freedom types, and found gremlins to be involved

===3/10/13===

All two thousand Goblins have been freed from their slavery, heading by wagon into Dragoncroft for some unknown reason. The party tried to stand against this, but Licenti was revealed as a traitor, working against the party, Esrend took his side and was forced to leave too. Timothy and Sir John had to go to fight 50 goblins who'd been left behind in a broken wagon and Sir John lost his life. What will happen next (I genuinely have no idea)

===5/10/13===

The party escaped Goldburrow using stealth and persuasion, leaving the city to its fate, the goblins have escaped and Crowdor's economy will collapse soon

Licenti has suggested hiding out in the marsh until war in Petersland is over, so that is where the party plan to head

===7/10/13===

The party tried to head for the marsh, but didn't get far, Licenti struck again, killing Naoki who had found out about him. Naoki was corrupted and chose death over evil gods

The war in Petersland is going badly, but knights are on the march so it may turn around. Crowdor is still holding its own in the Slum war

===8/10/13===

The party made it into the swamp, injuring and leaving Dexter behind, and are ready for the next stint of their journey, they are to gain membership as an honourary Shaman so they can join the newly freed goblins on a voyage north to Vorlidia to join the dark army assembling their

===12/10/13===

The party got through the swamp and got to Shadious' tower, where they were told to go find a magical demon skull to get their spot on the voyage to Vorlidia, they wandered through the catacombs of the island and found the skull, but then inches from death were forced to take another, potentially dangerous task.

===15/10/13===

The party returned the Demon Skull to the Shamans and may now sail with them to Vorlidia

===17/10/13===

The party boarded the S.S. Maria, a ship sailing from the south to the north, taking a large chunk of Vorlord's army (both men and Green-Skins) to him. Upon arrival they were summoned by a man named Vladek, Vorlord's right-hand-man who claims he will one day be King of Crowdor. He tested them in combat and was impressed with that he saw

===20/10/13===

a bit of shopping and role playing. It seems not everyone on the boat sees eye to eye, but the S.S. Maria sails on.

===21/10/13===

The party met and socialized with some of them major powers in the Vorlidian army, Vladek held a combat contest and named Richard his lieutenant. Vladek and the other major powers wish to see the party tomorrow for a mission, something to do with an up-coming naval battle.

===22/10/13===

The party went on their first mission for Vladek, sailing to and infiltrating the largest ship in Crowdor's Blockade and within hours taking control of the Commodore's office, they are now in a position to really wreck havoc for Crowdor!

===23/10/13===

The party attempted to sabotage the ship, but it went to hell when the party where discovered, using quick thinking, most of the party where able to escape, except for Licenti who has been left for dead and Flumbey who was shot full of bolts.

Those that survived escaped to Darkwood and will begin a new life in a strange new land, It is possible that Vladek may hunt them down or Crowdor's nazy may seek revenge.

Licenti was made to walk the plank and shot full of arrows. He has passed.

===26/10/13===

Having sailed to Darkwood the party sat to discuss their plans and were joined by two friendly Darkwood natives, both Green-Skins but before they had time to make any proper plans they spotted a small army approaching!

The party ran through the forest to get away from the Crowdorian navy who are now hunting them and made it to the lands of the Zioux tribe who joined them in battle against Crowdor. The battle ended in Crowdor retreating with an injured leader, but they'll be back.

After the battle the party sat down and decided to try and get to Vorlidia before Vladek to prove themselves to Vorlord himself and join him still in the war

===27/10/13===

The party left the Zioux people being told of a place they can get wolves to ride and another place which is magical enough for a group teleport to the edge of Darkwood, they set off had trouble with quick-sands then found a sage who taught them the way of wolf taming and warned them that the Crowdorians who hunted them last session are headed in the same direction of them. The party hunted a stag as tribute to the wolves they hope to tame then sat down for a rest

===28/10/13===

The party managed to tame wolves after some difficulty and the loss of Obitio and rode them into battle... where they were utterly defeated and forced to retreat, they fled to the Herrox Tribe but Crowdor now have control of some magic stones said to boost magics by an incredible amount and may have already used them!

===29/10/13===

the party found the south barricaded by Crowdor so went to the chief of the Herrox Tribe for arms. he was out but they met up with him at a hunt for a cerberus, the cerberus was slain and they went back to the chief's hut, he promised arms but told them they would need to get the Dreyjox to join them too by taking his token to them. The token was given to Torhte as the others didn't seem to understand the concept of wrestling

===1/11/13===

The party left the Herrox tribe to travel to the Dreyjox, on the way they cam across a wounded man. It turned out to be a rouse and an ambush, Crowdor appears and a viscous battle took place. Cobalt and Grutearl fell dead but the others escaped with their lives.

The party went on to the Dreyjox tribe and partook in a tournament to speak to the chief, unfortunately none were named champion, but the party met some interesting locals and the Dreyjox sent men off to war

===2/11/13===

The party mistook a bard for a spy and killed him, went to the battle and fled, but the battle went on and Crowdor have been pushed back

===3/11/13===

The party tried to leave Darkwood and came across Everberg. All fell apart from Lupus who betrayed the party and was then taken prisoner.

===6/11/13===

A new party awoke in a deep pit, they battled the undead and climbed to safety, they nearly died in a fight with a behemoth and lost one member of their group. ahead is some sort of disease ridden tunnel

Meanwhile in the Vorlidian War swords are clashing. Talonton wiped out all Vorlidian troops their in a day, but the other counties still fight on
