Young New World season 2

Return to Young New World

Session 12: The Sanitarium (14/12/816 to 17/12/816)

• The pilgrims, Taye, Oz, and Arkah arrive at the temple of recovery. For two months, they learn and rest and encounter all manner of beings. During that time, they encounter a dwarf resident, a half-elf resident, and a human working off his community service; as well as many others. The arrival of a Goblin in the month of Baston Sun is a moment of interest and all look to meet him.
• Several days later, the pilgrims and others are asked to visit a nearby town that was sent a Nightingale bird as a distress call. Eleven in total make the half day walk to the town. When they arrive, they hear yells and a creature familiar to some is seen; after Taye had scouted the place and confirmed it was there. The giant clawed centipede is trying to get into a house. The group rushes to help.
• Akrah, Oz, and Taye arrive first. Taye psychically attacks the creature multiple times. Akrah wrestles with it trying to prevent it from hurting villagers. Oz starts ushering people away from the creature. The other begin to arrive. The couple begins a series of acrobatic martial attack, kicking the beast. Gareth charges in to attack. Arrows come in from their guide and Yoshi summons a spiritual staff to smash it. Damien lodges a spiked ball in its mouth, preventing it to biting anyone.
• Finally within reach, Osrik hits it with a fire bolt. It immediately disappears and the villagers along with it. The groups wounds fade, although the pain remains.

Session 13: Fear and Illusion (17/12/816 to 18/12/816)

• Finding the local pastor, the group begins to figure out the timeline of what happened. Last night, some townsfolk saw and reported the centipede creature to the pastor, who told everyone to remain inside. Shortly after, everyone was asleep, apparently by enchantment, until they were woken by the group...Damien in particular, after the battle. Everyone is in good help, but scared.
• Scouting around, the group finds none of the animals and believes that this may have been a ruse to steal all the livestock. There is much debate and they decide to track down the animals. With Gareth leading, they head into a coming storm and for about an hour track the chickens and oxen. As thunder begins, they debate again and decide to turn around.
• A minute after heading back to the town, lightning strikes and fear starts to reign down. The group is filled with fear and begins to scatter and flee, except Akrah. They get stuck in the mud, and only the bugbear remains defiant. Sensing evil, she find a red glowing figure and rushes towards it as the other do their best to regroup. She is drained of strength, but manages to grapple the dwarf like creature. Taye recovers and unleashes a mental blast which ends up driving off the creature but incapacitating him as well.
• Moving back to the town, they learn that their message has been received and help should arrive soon. Hours later, a troop from the temple arrives and gets the story. After a debate and vote, they go back to the temple and rest. In the morning, they meet with Brett, the Master of Memories and later Ohen.
