Ox ---> Tiger --->Rabbit --->Dragon Campaign Session #110

 Tim, Fecus, and the hirelings on the Golden Barge have a series of adventures while traveling west towards Oberstdorf and Dwimmermount.  The city of Oberstdorf in my campaign is the city Adamas within the Dwimmermount book with the serial numbers filed off.

Session 110-  The Golden Barge Lands on the Eastern Slopes of the 

Dragonteeth Mountains

1/7/2024

  • Tim and Fecus arrive at where the Golden Barge was anchored 

    south of Tragidore.  To their surprise, they only see the 

    Whiskey Tea, but quickly discover that the GB is invisible.

  • They aren’t surprised the Eld came after the GB, and are pleased 

    that the skeleton crew was able to fend them off.  They are 

    pleased at the functions of the GB that Sillai and Lachada have 

    been able to learn with the help of Xix Nose.

  • Tim and Fecus decide to hire a band for the Golden Barge.  The 

    2 bands that audition for them are Rainbow Warrior and Night Walkers.  

    They choose the 3 person Rainbow Warrior for a 100 GP/month rate.

  • Sillai and Lachada begin the nerve-wracking process of overland travel 

    with the GB.  They make their first stop in a large clearing on the 

    eastern slopes of the Dragonteeth Mountain range.

  • The gypsy Rinaldo approaches, requesting that Tim and Fecus meet 

    with the gypsy elder Madame Riva.

  • Madame Riva explains the situation the gypsy camp is in with 

    Olot the Ogre having stolen the Pegasus Silverwing from them.  The 

    men she sent to recover Silverwing were slaughtered by a 

    creature guarding Olot’s cave.  She requests the assistance of 

    Tim and Fecus, offering all of the possible treasure Olot’s lair contains 

    if they bring Silverwing back to her.

  • Tim and Fecus agree to help.  They bring along Mike of Avon, Myldgyd, 

    Pavol, and 2 ghuls.  Rinaldo provides horses for the party so they can 

    travel up to Olot’s cave more quickly.

  • Just inside the entrance of Olot’s cave, the party kill Olot’s Flesh Golem.

  • The party avoids the first 2 traps.  Fecus falls into the 3rd trap, 

    a water trap, but is rescued and the party continues deeper into the cave.

  • Fecus uses the Sovereign Fire ability he had been gifted with during 

    Solstice to kill Olot.  Tim collects a sample of Olot’s blood and the party 

    find Silverwing and the promised treasure hoard.

  • They return Silverwing to Madame Riva’s camp.
