Towards Oxenburt

The party started by leaving Pineford and heading towards the border crossing of Drywren before continuing onto Oxenburt.

On their journey they almost had an altercation with a giant eagle mounted wood elf who was scouting for her people in the north. Azure bargined that if she left peacefully, he would tell the prince that the Empire had been attacked and were in a weakened state, hoping that he would then draw forces from the north giving the elves a chance to regain lost territory.

Further northwards the weather started to turn harsh, they found an Inn which was occupied by a Cleric and a cloaked elf. All otherwise very quiet, they continued their journey northwards, past the border crossing by pretending to be circus travellers, Azure almost setting the wagon on fire.

Arriving at Oxenburt the party are awed by its scale, huge walls centuries old the first capital of Avencia. A large palace in the north east, a central coliseum and hippodrome and then the large guild headquarters in the east.

They bartered through a procession of beggars and found lodgings. Azure and Erebos went to speak with the guild master Henrietta Morgrove, at their meeting she detailed the location of the first of 5 remaining assassins guild leaders with the 5 unknown she said that Azure would have to bring back all keys and she would give details on the last.

Gorod signed the party up to a team match at the coliseum whilst Arlo was trying to sell his illegal plate armour. His prospective buyer Axar the Imperishable of the Imperishable's told him to meet at the back of the warehouses next to the coliseum.

Arlo quickly bought some replacement armour and headed there with Gorod. Bribing local children to sock a guard in the groin Arlo and Gorod met the rest of Axar's crew he was given 300 gold and handed over the plate armour. Guards then spotted Arlo and Gorod and they both quickly made their escape and sneaked back to the inn safely.

The party then went to fight in the Coliseum.

Their first fight was with 6 Ogres, which Ansem did a large amount of damage with a fireball spell, rousing the crowd. Next was against "The Warband", 13 Orcs, angry and wanting a good fight. The party had a hard start but quickly got around slaying all the orcs. Finally it was against the Imperishable's themselves, whilst Arlo easily fought Axar in the makeshift ring, The Swashbuckler, Illusion Mage and Archer gave the rest of the party a lot of trouble, however they were subdued.

With a large chest of gold as prize given by the prince himself and the loot from two corpses the party now plan their itinerary for the next day in Oxenburt.
