Strange World of Random Doom sessions 2&3 

Session 2 

• After the events of the previous session Coradwin went outside to brief the Halfling and the waggoner's about the problem inside the house so far as the

• Halfling gave him a hard time over the time the company where wasting messing about when they should be loading wagons as they where being paid to.

• So missed the encounter with the new owner entirely whilst trying to explain this lack of progress to the, Halfling ungrateful little git

• He took no part until called back in when he was involved in the clearing of the house and helping to make it secure before the company left for the return to town

• He was paid off grudgingly by the ungrateful Halfling with every one else in the end

Session 3

• After a week mostly spent gambling away the proceeds of the previous adventure at the temple of Risk thought he did invest at least some of it in a good broadsword he went to the Raven and the adventurers guild where he met up with every one else

• Here they discussed the aftermath of the previous adventure and in particular what to do with the deeds to the house which had been dumped on them in effect by the departing prince and the annoying Halfling flunky.

• They decided to hold the ownership of the house in common and also to set themselves up as a formal adventuring company.

• They also discussed the rumours going round the town and other things they had come across in the intervening week and the current festival of storms, Coradwin had typically picked up nothing in this line as he had spent all of his free time in the Temple of risk

• This was interrupted by the rude arrival of the livery stable master wanting the bill for stabling the horses they had thought the Dejji prince had lent them to rid to the house. It turned out that these had been dumped on them as well.

• Faz paid the stable masters bill which was good as Coradwin had spent all the takings form the last adventure on the broad sword and gambling in the temple of Risk

• This did however focus them on getting the next job as the stay at the Raven which they had got the prince to pay for was running out and so was the companies coin with all these unexpected expenses, swindling alleged noble Dejji  

• After some discussion the company settled on going to explore an ancient temple for the local company of explorers which turned out to be about a days ride inland and promised something without too many complications.

• It was decided to start out for the temple in the morning

• Given that they now had horses to look after and to keep safe whilst they where adventuring in the temple Coradwin decided that he needed a servant so he went looking for one and found a fairly desperate Half Hobgoblin labourer who he persuaded with offers of becoming a protégé

• The journey to the temple the following day was uneventful but took most of the day in the saddle so they decided to camp near the entrance and enter the temple in the morning

• The intervening night passed without event and in the morning leaving the Half Hobgoblin as horse holder the company entered the temple, which appeared to be in a cave in the side of a nearby hill after spending time producing tracings of the ancient entry arch which was covered with obscure pictograms.

• Inside the place was defiantly not your common sort of cave as it was lit by a massive raised blue light stone and appeared to be carved out of smooth black volcanic glass rather than the expected local rock.

 

Coradwin's initial Sketch

• Pressing on they discovered the place was in the rough shape of a ring with a cross super imposed over it seemingly each quadrant had a door which initial supposition suggested lead to a chamber of some sort

• They also discovered a block of floor slabs at the centre of the cross which depressed as if they where pressure plates of some sort but had no apparent effect beyond giving the company pause

• Deciding to go left at the cross roads the company came upon the first door which was massive marked with the same sort of pictograms the gate arch has been
