1st session: All glory to House T'orgh

3rd Moon, 7th day, year 4553
All glory to Asmodeus! The T'orgh brothers (well half-brothers to be honest) have just finished their training, and have been summoned to meet with their father, High Priest Venar of House T'orgh. The High Priest wants to test the young ones, so he orders an ogre brought in, for them to fight. The fight goes reasonably well they think, except that the Ogre does manage to severely wound Nargar (the fighter). High Priest Venar seems underwhelmed, but decides that there is a matter they can attend.

They are to travel nine days to the north, to the edge of the Silent Forest, and pay a visit to the goblin tribe of the Broken Spears, and their chief, Farlang. For some reason, the tribe has been raiding human settlements beyond the forest, something which had been strictly forbidden by High Priest Venar. The T'orghs are to stop him. Whether he lives or dies does not matter to the High Priest, as long as the raiding stops.

After having gotten all the provisions they need, the T'orghs head out into the Silent Forest.

The T'orgh brothers run into a brown bear. Luckily for them, it is busy trying to get some honey off a tree, and doesn't notice them. The wisely avoid it.

3rd Moon, 12th day, year 4553
The T'orghs stumble over a corpse in rotting clothes. As they search it, two snakes attack them. They manage to kill the snakes, and then realize to their horror that it was yellow Eye-snakes, and the two bites that Raheem (the ranger) took could both have been lethal! But they do find an old map. The corpse's map

At night, while they rest, Taluzik (fighter/cleric) is alerted by some loud eating noises coming from nearby bushes. He wakes the others, and while they don their armor, the noises stop, and a dog-sized beetle peak its head through the bushes. There is a stare-down, and the beetle leaves once again, along with the other beetles, and the brothers can go back to sleep.

3rd Moon, 15th day, year 4553
As it is getting late, the T'orghs suddenly hear the howling of wolves. They are about to be attacked. Nalfein (the priest) climbs into a tree, and the rest take defensive formation on the ground, as 5 wolves come out of the forest and assault them. The fight is brutal, and Nargar goes down, wolf at his throat. The healers can't quite get to him in time, and he quickly bleeds out.

After taking the customary 5 minutes to mourn for their brother, the T'orghs continue their journey. Targar, their older brother, soon catches up with them.

3rd Moon, 17th day, year 4553
In the wee hours of the morning, while Nalfein is on guard-duty, he suddenly spots a humanoid which jumps and devours a wild boar further in the wood. He wakes the others. After the creature is done with the swine, it catches their scent, and charges them almost on all four. As the creature comes close, they can see it is an undead creature, a ghoul. Both Nalfein and Taluzik try to command the foul creature, but apparently they are still too weak in their faith in the Lord of Light. It assaults Taluzik but can't quite manage to penetrate his armor and then Targar (another fighter) rips it to shreds with his two weapons.

After finishing their rest, the T'orghs move on and come to the goblin village. A goblin patrol try to stop them, but are cowed by the menace in the dark elves' eyes. They are quickly lead to Farlang, in his underground lair. There he explains that he had to raid the humans, as the goblin water-supply had been poisoned by an evil witch in the forest.

 Farlang

Farlang is told in no uncertain terms, that if he ever does it again, he will find himself dead along with the rest of the tribe. For now, however, a sacrifice by fire of his three best warriors and three most beautiful women in their childbearing years will do for now.

The ritual is conducted under the watchful eye of the T'orghs..
