Jesus Christ, lots of shit happened today. So many things from so many perspectives, it wouldn't be suitable nor do the adventure justice to have it all be told by one person. As such, this journal will be told from a third-person perspective.
The heroes, and I'm only calling them that because they were at least mildly heroic at this point, started the day by wondering where the hell Livy wandered off to (we still don't know where that is). They were hanging out in the tavern in the middle of the night, while Crow, the Swashbuckler we recently made friends with, was semi-passed out, semi-drunk. The moment Wolfeye walks downstairs and closes up for the night, a Dwarf bursts through the wall, yelling about how the Heroes' allies, Dwarf-Lord Mordekai and his troops, were taking Tamait Peak and needed the heroes help to finalize the siege. Not bothering to ask that many questions, the heroes proceeded to Tamait Peak. Enter Tamait Peak 2: Electric Boogaloo.
The first room, which was actually the outside of the mountain itself, was barricaded heavily, but there were eight tigers behind it, trying to get out. With the help of the dwarves who were outside the barricades firing in, the Heroes dispatched the tigers with relative ease. The second room, which would have been familiar were it not that the party was all-new to this dungeon, was the slim hallway which has a u-turn in it, making the shape of a C. This room had a Human Knife Fighter and two Human Pirates, who did quite the number on the party. Ness was killed off, and Harken knocked unconscious, but eventually the heroes puled through. The third room, which I'm calling the Stupid Room, was stupid stupid dumb, on Ness' part. While the rest of the party was hanging around having their extended rest on account of the previous battle's difficulty, Ness decided to try to sneak off ahead by himself, although Wince followed him. Nearly being killed by one Gnoll Gorger, Ness decided to use his armor of breaching to teleport through the wall. Not through the wall to safety, no. The wall which led into more enemies, who laughed quite hard and swiftly dealt out a righteous asskicking to Ness. Wince, being as good of backup as he is, actually managed to fell a few of them, but still gave three of the Gnoll Gorgers a chance to run in to the room where the remainder of the party was resting. Being gambling folk, Crow and Harken decided to challenge the Gnolls to a dice game for their lives. The Gnolls lost, and were consequentially allowed to flee. Meanwhile, in the next room over, Wince had just finished intimidating an entire group of Gnolls into shitting their pants and absconding as fast as they could. Deliberately leaving Ness dead and stuffing him into a chest, the heroes proceeded into the next room.
Ah, the good ol' Ankheg room. Gotta love Ankhegs. I'm not even really going to describe it. Nobody died, but it was a close match. As the heroes were about to run away and admit defeat, the Dwarf-Lord came to save their asses. In the next room, the Dwarf-Lord had already slain all the enemies, but there were two doors, so the heroes headed into one door and Mordekai into the other. For the heroes, the next room would be their last.
That is to say, it was a boss fight. An expertly performed boss fight, if I may say so myself. The encounter was the noble who'd taken the mountain, teamed up with two Owlbears which he had tamed. The noble was slain on the first round, right off the bat, due to two powerful hits from Wince and Crow. Crow then did an 4CROB4T1C FUCK1NG P1ROU3TT3 onto one of the remaining Owlbears, giving it a sound punch to the snout to establish his superiority. With that decisive blow, Crow had tamed the Owlbear. Lacking it's allies, with it's only friend turned against it, the remaining Owlbear was quick to flee. Long story short, Mordekai thanked the heroes and awarded them with a Jade the size of Wince's fist.
The heroes, taking their loot and doing various stupid things with it, quickly got bored. This prompted a string of events which has led them to their current situation. Firstly, Wince snapped. I mean, he's always been a little crazy, but he slaughtered an entire orphanage, minus two children, along with the Baron of the town. These orphans were then adopted by the heroes. Douglass Von Ezio, a young Drow, is now being taught the ropes of assassination, while Jade, a Medusa (don't ask why orphanages stock medusas) is learning to become a ranger.
After this, the heroes minus Wince pulled a heist of a jewelry store in the port town of Kcod, and got off with thousands of GP in jewels. Douglass was a vital part of the heist, even if he IS level 1/2 (poisons, bitches). While the main group was doing this, Wince kidnapped the duke's daughter, and the heroes then held her for 10000GP in ransom money, and made off with it, escaping to the town on the other side of the continent. The heroes decided to buy a greatship, and headed off to the Tavern to recruit people to crew it.
