Session 05 — The Reaver Ambush

Reconstructed from memory — correct anything that's off.

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

The party finally pursued the missing Mirabar delegation in earnest. They left Red Larch, fought bandits on the road, and walked into a reaver ambush in the hills. The party won the fight and killed every attacker. The session ended right after combat — the bodies and the area had not been searched yet.


What happened

  1. The party left Red Larch to follow leads on the missing delegation.
  2. On the road they fought a group of bandits and won.
  3. They continued toward the delegation trail and were ambushed by raiders (reavers) in the hills.
  4. The party fought through the ambush and killed every attacker.
  5. The session ended immediately after the fight. The party had not looted the bodies or searched the site.

Key moments

  • 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

  • Red Larch — departure point
  • Road through the Red Larch surroundings / Sumber Hills
  • Reaver ambush site — hills outside Red Larch (exact name TBD in play)

Loot & rewards

  • Not yet collected — the ambush site still needs to be searched (Session 06).

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.
