Greyhacking Finishes Castle Karn (N2)

Part VI.

Using N2 in a non-canon location of the Nutherwood.

-------- This Week --------

The skirmish continued this week inside the confines of the castle.

Left side door:

The cleric gained his honor by dying at the hands goblins, although repeated sniping in their backs by the Bard and the new Gnome Thief with missile weapons dwindled their number.

Right side door:

After finishing off the Ranger/Druid's sidekick, the Goblin/Worg cavalry make a go at him. At that moment the accompanying higher level Druid manages to talk the Worgs into leaving (he had been trying for several rounds,) causing the Goblins to dismount. (I had the Worgs shake like wet dogs.) They then take their ire on the visiting higher level Druid killing him off, while the Player Ranger Druid retreats fighting.

Center door:

The party finished off this section and sealed off the door causing the remaining goblins to reinforce the side doors. Since the right door was closer they ended up finishing off the goblins that had killed the Cleric. Turning their attention to the left, they rescue the Ranger/Druid but not before the loss of the accompanying higher level Druid (which they had promised to not involve in combat.)

The loss of the Cleric was an acceptable loss, the sidekick and the Druid were not. A dock of 4 honor points should be counted here.

Not to be outdone by bad die rolls I managed to have the neutralized Worgs at least eat the party's tied-up horses in the woods while the party was busy making proper burials.

The party makes it back to the High Druid's tree and made excuses for the loss of their Druid escort. But mission accomplished, they get the cure for the "blight" and are given a new traveling advisory regarding the previously used old tunnel and an alternate route back to the Dale.

Session ends.
