Session #68: Turducken Terror

[run by Joel, and recapped by him here, with minimal edits by the Scribes ... thanks, Joel!]

Many heroes both novice and veteran alike, gather in front of the foreigner’s red ship, responding to the call to adventure. Our adventurers are greeted by the ship’s crew, fine looking folk of pointy ears and sharp features [northfolk, surely? ~the Scribes]. The party was seen escorted into one of the hulls on the catamaran ship and entering a dining hall. The rumor has it the room is filled with an abundance of food and at the end of the hall sits Santana himself. An hour passes and the group is seen returning to the city making their preparations and hiring companions. Many from the twin cities gather to see the departure of the giant vessel; those counted leaving on the hunt for this unknown creature called the Turducken are as follows:

• Heijo (Magic-user 6)

• Gan (Fighter 5)

• Kzin-friend (Magic-user 1)

accompanied by Slith Sly (sakkra, hired by another party member)

• Sesel (Fighter 7)

• Barlow (Magic-user 1)

accompanied by Kogus (bulrathi)

Kogus on a 
mowaj mount ...

Santana's ship left with phenomenal speed to their destination--and the party was seen returning later that evening! While victorious on their hunt, certain members of the party return with more battle scars then they left with. News and rumors fill the taverns of a giant bird beast with three heads, flying reindeer [some kind of mowaj? hmela? ~the Scribes] and eggs of gold & stone.

The Lucre

(by Cullen, who played Kzin-Friend)

• 5500 dinars (gp) from gold chains and jeweled rings (payment from Santana for the Turducken bounty and the recovery of his pets)

The Learning

• 3900 XP from Turducken

• 1600 XP for the recovery of the “Los Renos Voladores” (200 xp per reindeer, 8 in total)

• 2700 XP from egg treasure

The Cut

Any item of value that a party-member wishes to possess may be "bought out" by adding their own dinars into the pot equal to its stated value; other items must be negotiated for by the members of the company, according to their desires.

And, as always, artwork, maps drawn by players, write-ups, &c. from the point of view of the characters, sent by players to be published here, will earn the corresponding player-character 100 xp per level.
