The Little Shrub that Could

Session Date: February 28, 2020

Our first night on the road, Xandria again treated Hal’s zombie rot. We don’t expect he will need additional treatment.

The next morning, we came across a suspicious bush on the side of the road. It turned out to be a leshy named Mulberry. We tested his warrior prowess against Raktosh. He impressed us, so we hired him to help us fight the Undead Engine Thieves.

Mulberry grew over the grave of a barbarian hill giant, hence how he acquired his sword and barbarian rage.

The next night while Remi was on watch, a skull fell into the middle of our camp and started expelling black smoke and guttural moans. We later learned it was a weeping skull. Raktosh immediately chucked it out of our zone of fucks given. A ghast appeared, barreling down into our midst while two bugbears threw javelins at us from the cliff. Raktosh climbed up to face the lizardfolk we heard coming. Confronting Raktosh ended up being the worst and last decision of the lizardfolk’s life.

Mulberry took care of the ghast goblin. The bugbears turned sides, agreeing to help us take out the weeping skull.

We confronted the weeping skull and were able to handle it; however, the bugbears killed themselves under its influence.

The next day we hit the crossroads. Xandria predicted a storm coming in 3 days.

As the storm hit on the third day, we spotted the wagon of the Undead Engine Thieves. After a high-speed wagon chase, we clashed. The ogre and tiefling took a bit of work to kill, but we managed. Mulberry destroyed some bugbears. We made it a Spur Harbor with the engine and three extra swamptusks to deliver to Sally’s cousin.
