Boy and Co Vs the Rattlesnakes

 

  

Session 3- Death Among the Pines, Conclusion

5/31/25

  • Boy and his party find the entrance to the Serpent-men Fane.

  • 8 out of 10 Thundercrack Boys are poisoned and don’t make their 

    saves.

  • Tarp is briefly possessed by the ghost of Pansy, and the party learn 

    that her death wasn’t an accident.  She had been killed by her 

    husband after he had been corrupted by dark forces.  She wants 

    her remains interred at the Sovereign Temple graveyard.

  • Boy asks Adelaide to use 6 of her 10 healing scrolls to help 6 of 

    the 8 Thundercrack Boys.

  • Boy’s team enters the Serpent-men Fane in time to see that 

    Braar Obray and Chase Mashburn are poised to sacrifice Trill and 

    Nollie.

  • Boy shoots his compound bow at Braar Obray, but misses.

  • 5 additional Serpent-men appear from behind columns and a battle 

    between Boy’s team and the Serpent-men plays out.

  • Chase Mashburn escapes with Baby Nollie.

  • Boy’s team kill Braar Obray and the 5 Serpent-men, then they release 

    Trill and pursue Chase through the tunnel he escaped through.

  • The team spot Chase in a cave that opens to the surface.  The team 

    splits.  The Thundercrack Boys run after Chase and the rest of the 

    team kill 12 Rattlesnakes in the cave.

  • Trill is relieved to have her Baby Nollie safe back in her arms.  She’s 

    grateful, but asks Boy’s team one more favor.  Can they save the 

    villagers who had been turned into human headed snake 

    monstrosities that are trapped in a pit in the fane?

  • Boy asks Adelelaide if she is capable of that kind of magic.  She isn’t 

    powerful enough on her own, but for a 100 GP donation to her temple 

    in Thundercrack, she can bring enough Scrolls of Remove Curse back 

    to Holler Hollow to help the poor wretches.

  • When Adelaide returns and the villagers are saved, Boy and Adelaide 

    lead the town in cleaning up and reconsecrating the Temple of the 

    Sovereign.  Boy gives a speech to warn the villagers to remain vigilant 

    and not allow evil to erupt here again.

  • Pansy’s remains are interred.  Her soul can now rest.

  • The Thundercrack Boys and Adelaide return to their town; Boy and his 

    team return to Star Notch and the Hendershot Farm.

  • A wedding invitation has arrived at the farm.  All on the farm are 

    welcome to attend Cousin Dode’s cousin’s wedding in Sour Spring 

    Hollow.
