Conscripted Episode 4

The party prepares to leave Chrysison and runs into a cheetah which downs Arius but the party makes quick work of it. After some necklace tapping, the party moves along. Arius brings up the topic with the party of releasing the dogs in the camp to fulfill his promise to the dying Drustan. Jack turns down the idea and is worried about the plan failing and the result of getting caught would mean all of our deaths. Arius gives in and tells Jack he will not continue with his plan, but in reality, Arius is looking up for an opportunity to release the dogs still. The party continues their travel and decides to set up camp eventually. Tom encounters a giant scorpion during his watch and tries to dispatch the creature himself but ends up waking the party with his last breaths. The party comes to Jack’s aid and dispatches the scorpion. During Shaaxsaga’s watch, the party is again ambushed by 10 krenshar. The group decides to stand their ground and as a result, Shaaxsaga and Ozy are left for dead while Arius barely makes it out (2 HP) and Jack gives the order for retreat.

After some time of fleeing, Jack and Arius run into each other in the near by hamlet of Lugdug, a halfling town. After some healing given to the remaining two, Jack locates a caravan to travel with to a closer town to the military camp as none were going directly to the camp. They both arrived Khazarem, a largely dwarven town, without issue. Jack purchases a map of the local region and Arius meets with a priest of Delranmrion. He tries to give Jack the impression he is trying to absolve himself of the promise he made but in reality, Arius is gathering more information regarding the promise he made to Drustan. The party makes their way back to the camp and make it back without issue as the session concludes.
