22 Breeze - Where we are employed

9 days before the Autumn guild meeting, I am discussing offers for my banapple cider recipe, Guild security say there is a fellow guild member who needs assistance so of course I go along to see how I can help out.

Tsayoi a short (only 10ft tall) giant from Kinlu needs our help to find some of his family who have gotten lost in Lecbes or thereabouts. He promises a reward of 5,000 each silver and some sort of forged item using his family skills and connections. Tsayoi, the fire giant is studying the Lava college, a mix of Fire and Earth magics.

We need to slow portal to Elfenberg, fly to Borovia in order to portal again to Kinlu to meet Tsayoi's mother who has information for us. Apparently the Kinlu portal in Borovia is besieged at present so we may have some trouble getting to it.

The guild cartographers tell us that the Silk Islands nearby Lecbes are inhabited by giant spiders which have massive webs that connect the isles.

I pop back home to pack my gear, or rather have my gear packed and then I got a little distracted with the garden and banapples as well as making sure the bees will be ok while I'm gone. Splosh helpfully waterproofed all of my possessions for me!

Back to the guild and we get under way through the portal to Elfenberg! We will be met at the end by sergent Smyth from the navy.

The portal journey is pleasant with only the usual distractions and we are met as promised by sergent Smythe at a tavern just on the other side, so we stop for a few beers to quench our thirst after the few hours walking through the slow portal. He suggests we leave in the morning so we spend the night in the tavern, although as I find it difficult to get drunk any more I only have a few social drinks and then retire to capture my notes of the day. There will be opportunities to drink with Athos and Edwin later (Peter doesn't appear to drink due to his beliefs).

23 Breeze - Where we almost sneak through a war zone

After a few hours we land near what looks like a war zone full of orcs, humans and Drow. Smythe guides us through the chaos with various hand signals, until we are roughly 140 feet away from the portal when we spy a group of orcs and a large ogre who are about to attack friendlies near the portal. We see they are carrying what appears to be a large grenado between them so instead of rushing forward to attack, we try to help it blow up from a distance.

Athos throws a couple of grenados at them and manages to coat a number of them in Greek fire so we wait a moment to see whether the explosive will in fact explode.

It doesn't explode so Peter rushes forward to attack, supported by Smythe, while the rest of us move to flanking positions and Athos takes a crossbow shot at the ogre to prevent it lobbing the grenado at the friendlies. It works! and instead of throwing the grenado away, it instead explodes (from his earlier greek fire), showering them with rocks and gas and fire. Peter and Smythe suffer a little damage, however are protected from the worst of it by the unlucky orcs and ogre.
