Many songs are sung and stories told of the Ultros: shepherds have seen in sailing on the (landlocked) River Lethe it was Estor Arkelander’s ship, crafted of such powerful magic that even Sydon’s storms could not sink her. Upon arrival we are greeted as heroes and the drinks flow all night. Aster remains in Mytros along with Bullbug the Minotaur while we set out.įollowing the map towards the Dead Falls we retrace our steps part way towards Estoria before turning cross country towards the Sour Vintage crossroads tavern where we first met. With the remaining 100gp we purchase two more Healing Potions. Aster buys his armour and we prepare to leave Mytros following the map to find the Ultros.ĭuring our last few days in Mytros, Seranfar manages to sell the adamantine trident found in the Mithral Mines for 600gp which he gives to Aster, to allow him to upgrade his armour and to buy another 300gp diamond. Serenfar sacrifices his bronze medal to Sydon. After some "discussion" he agrees and Meroe finds herself the owner of Bullbug the Minotaur who promptly swears to serve her loyally. Unwilling to see a captive sapient being sacrificed to anyone, Meroe offers to buy the minotaur slave, suggesting that the priest of Sydon could use the gold to instead buy oxen for the sacrifice. They are towing a cage containing an enslaved minotaur who is to be sacrificed to Sydon as part of the ritual. The next day while out shopping for some new armour for Aster, he and Meroe encounter a funeral procession of some Sydon-worshippers. As part of the deal Aster enjoys a very pleasant evening with an obliging young lady. She chooses Ambrosia of the Siren's Rest (a tavern/bordello). Two tavern owners approach her offering 1000gp sponsorship deals. Being accustomed to unarmed fighting enables Meroe to take the mithral (gold) medal. Meroe takes adamantine (silver) in the Wrestling and Javelin, while the final in the Boxing is between Meroe and Leander. Aster wins an impressive bronze medal in the Running, despite choosing to run in full armour! Serenfar takes bronze in the Discus. In Mytros we explore a bit of the city and then decide to enter the Great (Olympic) Games. In thanks King Acastus hands over a map detailing the location of the (in)famous ghost ship, the trireme Ultros (which we'd dreamed about after drinking from the Horn of Balmytria.) This way, while the Gods are weakened, their reputation is enhanced and we take measures to ensure that this is the version of events the people of Mytros hear. Clearly wanting to avoid the flack from that, King Acastus summons the Heroes of prophecy to sort things out.Īfter hearing a series of bad and really bad options (including child sacrifice ), we suggest that the Five Gods voluntarily offer up some of their divine power in sacrifice to Sydon in order to preserve the city. Speaking through his pet minion, Gaius, he's said the price of leaving the city intact is for the people of Mytros to destroy the Temples of the Five Gods. The city of Mytros is under siege by a hurricane created by Sydon. Volkan is already on site and forging stuff! We get "invited" to visit King Acastus of Mytros by three centurions riding strangely unintelligent/uneducated copper dragons. Also there's several tunnels still to explore.įorgekeeper released and has promised to power the Mithril Forge for us for a Year and a Day. We now need to work out what to do about the forgekeeper - apparently she was imprisoned by the dwarves to power the forge. Leander struck the final blow with the butt of doom! Artemis fortunately was able to grapple it and bring it down which meant we were striking with advantage. Very tough fight with Leander, Meroe and Artemis all being one hit away from dead. We started to talk with the salamander but then the cub of the dead cerberus appeared. We also found a giant cerberus corpse on the upper floor.Īfter that we on the lower level of the mines we found a lava pit with a salamander - the forgekeeper - swimming in it. We jammed the pipes so only got a bit steamed. To no one's surprise it was trapped to fill with oil which would then be ignited. Artemis nearly got turned to stone! We found a deep and forbidding shaft as well as a highly suspect dwarven elevator. Returned to the mines and fought a load of death dogs and cockatrices.
