Reconstructed from memory — corrected with player notes.

Previous: ← Session 04

At a glance

Party level 4th
Started in or near Red Larch (departure)
Ended at Reaver ambush site in the hills — immediately after the fight, before looting

Summary

Before leaving Red Larch, Togar browsed Helvur Tarnlar, Clothier but didn't buy anything. The party then pursued the missing Mirabar delegation in earnest — bandits on the road, then a reaver ambush in the hills. The party won; the session ended before searching the site.

What happened

  1. Before the party left Red Larch, Togar visited Helvur Tarnlar, Clothier, looked over the stock, and left without buying anything.
  2. The party set out to follow leads on the missing delegation.
  3. On the road they fought a group of bandits and won.
  4. They continued toward the delegation trail and were ambushed by raiders (reavers) in the hills.
  5. The party fought through the ambush and killed every attacker.
  6. The session ended immediately after the fight. The party had not looted the bodies or searched the site.

Key moments

  • Togar at the clothier — scoped out Tarnlar's quality gear; no purchase.
  • Missing delegation — the party committed to the investigation as their main goal.
  • Two fights on the road — bandits first, then the reaver ambush.
  • Hard fight — the party took hits (especially Togar, who was visibly battered by the end).
  • Cliffhanger — victory, but no loot or clues collected yet.

People

  • Bandits — hostile group on the road (no names recorded)
  • Raiders / reavers — ambush force in the hills (hostile, slain; no names recorded)

Places

Loot & rewards

  • Not yet collected — the ambush site still needs to be searched (Session 06).
  • No purchase at the clothier.

Unresolved

  • Search the ambush site — loot, bodies, and clues are waiting on the field.
  • Why were these raiders here? — connection to the missing delegation is unknown.
  • Ewan's favor — still outstanding from Session 04.
  • Party goal unchanged: find the Mirabar delegation and learn more about cult activity in the valley.
