Day Seven

After vanquishing the orcs, we continued our walk to the Old Keep. Soon, though, we heard some noises coming from the forest. We attempted to hide, but before we could get anywhere, two ogres approached us.

We fought them and won. It being early evening, we decided to make camp for the night.

Ahara was on watch when she heard footsteps going down the road. A little bit later, she heard them again going back the way they came. She ventured away from our camp to see who it was.

It was the etten.

We broke camp the next morning and continued on to the keep. We arrived shortly and saw that it had writing on the wall. Most of the words were illegible, but we could make out a few. They turned out to be from the riddle.

Tindome suggested that we wait for nightfall and then break into the keep. That is when the nice head would be in control.

Dane suggested that we knock on the door so that he could talk to the etten. We decided on this course of action because of Dane’s religious proclivities. Tindome drank an invisibility potion and went with him.

Dane knocked and we heard from inside a roar followed by someone shouting NO!!!

The door opened and the etten came out. Fearing for our lives, we immediately attacked. After a few tense minutes of fighting, we slew the etten. We then proceeded to loot the keep.

Day Six

We were traveling to the town of Hommelet to work on locating the Crown of Horns for our scholar friend.

On our way, we arrived at a hamlet called New Keep which was currently under attack by an Etten. The Etten smashed a house, stole a cow and wandered off into the woods.

Apparently, New Keep has been having a problem with this Etten during the day. But at night, another Etten comes to town and looks around. It causes no damage and runs away if approached.

There was a riddle in the local temple that we attempted to decode. We decided to head towards the old keep a ways off in the forest to see what is going on.

We left town and about a quarter mile into the woods, we were attacked by eight orcs. We fought them and slew them all.
