Back to Exploring - Expedition Summary 6/01

Breknar Swampshield led a small exploratory excursion into the wild to map the area north of Lake Stirge yesterday. On they way they were ambushed by a sinister group of orcs and goblins who camped out along the trail our brave men have been using through the area. Undaunted, they managed to defeat them while taking our first two prisoners: Griknak, goblin sniper who they've encountered before, and Vutrak Tonguespitter, some kind of leader in the orc tribe. Sir Calen has seen to it that they are imprisoned securely and we will use them to provide information to us regarding the orc's objectives and the location of their base. It was noted by Breknar that before being captured Vutrak showed his true colors by being too cowardly to battle in honorable one-on-one combat.
After returning these prisoners to Longreach the party continued their journey north and mapped the area surrounding the Elder Tree without meeting further resistance. At the ruins of the tower that had been infested by blight-now deemed "Mosaic Tower" after the mosaic found inside, they found an alter of an unknown god. Upon revisiting the pool of blood that had been feeding the giant flower blight they purified it and removed the many bodies and stirge corpses the blight seemed to have stored in the pool, proceeding to burn them in order to aid in purifying the region.

Finally, Breknar Swampshield has devoted himself to the safeguarding of life and nature and has taken the Oath of the Ancients at the base of the Elder Tree, truly we will purify this land of the evils within.

The boom in available jobs has led to a massive increase in our town's population as workers and their families flock to Longreach, and we anticipate the rate of growth of the town to increase as well. Thank you to all who have contributed to this project. Unfortunately, the workers at the lumber yard have complained of having to leave the site occasionally due to stirge harassing the area. Sir Calen is contemplating requesting additional guards for the settlement for this critical time. Additionally our map has been expanded following this excursion, see below:
