Conscripted Episode 6

The party starts out in Khazaram. Cassius, a previous mummy rot victim, rejoins the living. He recalls the disaster that led his party’s demise, which turned out to be a poor choice of where to set up camp. Surviving the attacks of the undead, Cassius is given the names and descriptions of a military group that are understaffed that he is meant to join. After a few introductory shots of whiskey, the party accepts Cassius without much of an issue into the group. The party then decides to meet up with the mayor of the town, Runa, to collect on the taxes. After noting the library-esk décor to the town hall, the party pushes past a long line to be seen as quickly as possible. Runa lets the party know that there have been warg attacks in town and that she wants the group to try and settle the issue before releasing this months taxes.

The party gets to work in forming a plan of action for catching the beasts and trying to solve the mystery of where they are coming from. After an ambush is sprung on a single warg, the party tracks it down to a goblin and orc village about three hours to the North. Upon returning the Runa with this knowledge, a group of soldiers accompanies the party to try and negotiate with the village.

Cassius and Spinx go into the village (Kumoah) to negotiate with the Orcs and Goblins. After intentions were made clear, the Orcs and Goblins want to speak with the entire party. Cassius goes to get the rest of the party outside and brings them in to finish the negotiations. The negotiations lead to a document to be signed by the military, with details offering resources in exchange for the towns sovereignty. After some talks, the group agrees to deliver the terms to their superiors and set up terms for the towns to begin trade with each other. The session ends with the group receiving their owed taxes and note that they have received the tax money mostly in sapphires. Spinx notes that the only way to obtain this type of currency is only available from the mountains. This is extremely odd for Runa to have access to a large amount of sapphires to be paying people in this manner. The party decides to stay in the village until the trade happens to ensure everything goes smoothly.
