Bugbears (Kuthona (XII) 2nd-5th, 4708 AR)

-

On Kuthona 2 a gang of bugbears ambushed and raided a work crew. The bugbears killed a worker and Sir Tolgrith had to once again suspend work until the threat was removed. The bugbears were ruthless in their attacks but careful to cover their trail. Tracking them back to their camp was extremely difficult. The bugbear camp was located on the north bank of the Coldrun River about 16 miles due east from Fort Thorn.

Wall of Roses. A wall of rose bushes surrounded a trio of crude circular huts. Even from a distance, large humanoid guards were visible, patrolling the perimeter just inside the hedge.

There were only two ways into the camp that avoided the hedge of rose bushes and their painful thorns: a narrow gap on the north side and the southern edge that abutted the river. The northern gap was blocked by a pile of logs. The rose bushes were at least 10 feet thick all around the camp.

The perimeter of the camp was guarded by a trio of bugbear guards who patrolled the hedge and kept a lookout. When they noticed the heroes, they sounded the general alarm, bringing all of the bugbears present out for a fight. The bugbears drew javelins before the fight.

The Market's Vengeance (Arodus (VIII) 15th, 4709 AR)

-
The thugs drew their weapons when the heroes did the same, and fought anyone standing between them and Zeeva. When their spellcaster was killed, any remaining thugs tried to flee the market. One of them escaped, one of them was killed, while the last was captured. The spellcaster tried to employ crowd-control spells to confound the heroes. Zeeva is unarmed and ill prepared for combat. She tried to stay out of harm's way. She pled in vain with the Pathfinders not to kill the Aspis attackers. The heroes had little time after the last of the Consortium agents was defeated . The goon who was conscious to witness the haunting experience is visibly shaken. Soon after the conclusion of the Aspis Consortium's attack on Zeeva Foxglove, a haunt  manifested by animating two piles of produce into shambling mounds and the market's central tree into an angry quickwood. Despite being indoors, a terrible wind began blowing through the Green Market, shaking the tree in the central plaza and

The Bone Field (Sarenith (VI) 29th, 4710 AR)

Image
Seneschal's Cathedral The bones around this area are meticulously organized, creating a spiral of bone walls that lead into a small clearing. In the center of this open space reside the bones of a gargantuan dragon. The dragon’s bones have been carefully carved with the draconic word for “protector” over and over again. Despite their pristine condition, the skull of the dragon has been crushed. The heroes uncovered a green dragon scale embedded in a fragment of the shattered skull. The bones ringing this clearing are inscribed with a complex litany of protective runes, mixed in with bits of draconic prophecy. A single tongue of rebuke had been stationed here. It circled this area but did not attack until the heroes tried to leave the cathedral. The tongue of rebuke alternated between its breath weapon and roar. It fought until destroyed. The Spirit of Auronorex This location contains some of the largest draconic skeletons in the entire Bone Field. Lying in the center of these skele
