Book 1 Casualties

The Open Hunt went to the Pitch Caves for Pathfinding Book 1, with a short stop at Book 3 on the way. As we gathered at the waterfall, Creed spoke some words that turned out to be eerily prophetic.


When we reached the well outside of PC 1, J'jh successfully lured most of the webbers into PC 2. Those who needed Book 1 got it, and then we gathered northeast to retrieve J'jh. I figured that afterwards we would go on to PC 5, as we had done the last two times. It was not to be.

Noivad grabbed J'jh, and we prepared to kill webbers. However, at least 8 webbers came, so we had to retreat. We made a couple of attempts to lure them back to PC 2, but without success. Eventually Noivad, Kalian, and I managed to chain everyone out, and we started to make our way home.

At that point, Creed and Retolyk were our only standing healers, so I sunstoned a request for a rescue group to meet us at the waterfall snell. Talin answered my call for help and organized a group. Then we made a dash for the cave where Book 3 is. I and a couple of others got trapped and fell to lightning.

The few still on their feet kept the cave and the area just outside it secure until the rescue arrived. They managed to raise everyone, and we ran back home. Many thanks to all the rescuers!


OWE present: Creed, J'jh, J'nder, Kalian, Lucero, Noivad, and Torin.

P.S. Cammie has a journal entry about the hunt with several sketches.
