Session #94: What is a Treasure Hoard, but the Bed of a Sro?

[an expedition run by Jacob in the Medina al Taht--the "Undercity" beneath Cothon--thanks, Jacob!]

Having begun a quest to aid Farhat of the Medina al Taht, the barbarians of Cothon gathered once again to set fourth and continue their investigations such that they might complete this quest and claim the lucrative rewards. Setting out on this particular mid-morning adventure:

• Bart (Magic-User 9)
• Gan (Fighter 6)
• Avinia (Magic-User 6)
• Heijo (Magic-User 7)
• Najm (Magic-User 7)
• Alianor (Fighter 2)
• Durham (Fighter 8)
• Pako (renyu)

And later joined by Arngeir (Fighter 5), hearing of their adventure and heading down into the Medina some hours after the main party.

Late that afternoon the party returned, excitedly chattering. From the conversation of the group, in between their loot counting, it is overheard that they encountered some kind of Sro like creature. At the bars later, after having finally won some treasure during these adventures, Alianor is seen getting her fill of drink and regaling those who would listen about a wonderful forest beneath the Medina, an escape from the cold and return to a pleasant autumn temperature, and a Sro that was masterfully brought down without it ever getting the chance to breathe upon them. She also seemed to be a bit confused, alternating between the Sro leaving and also having a sword through the top of its skull.
