The players waited until about nine in the morning before they left Kelvin. While traveling on the road, they came across four travelers. They were going to ignore the travelers, but Ziek saw something weird about them, and told everyone to run. The four travelers were actually werewolves. The party ran for their lives because they were not equipped adequately equipped. Elric casted sleep three times on the werewolves by using the Ring of Memory. They continued running, and when they finally stopped, they realized that they were dreadfully lost.
After a while they, found a river which they followed up north. The river lead to Threshold. Because the party did not like the idea of potentially being followed by werewolves, they moved at a much faster pace. When they got to Threshold, they did not bother resting. They found the trailed south, and carefully followed it on to Highforge. They arrived at Highforge dog tired. Lucky for them, the mayor was waiting for them, and allowed them a place to rest and food (the party is moving up in the world, but they are still poor!) The mayor and Baron Hal read Junge's testimony and came to the conclusion that Junge was crazy. Baron Hal said that he would ride off and have a talk with Baron Kelvin.
The players accompanied Baron Hal and his guards. They were all traveling on horseback (the players are moving up in the world some more, but you still can't afford a glass of water!). While traveling down the road, a crossbow bolt that was feathered blue hit Baron Hal on the chest and knocked him off his horse. The guards formed a defensive circle around the Baron's body, and Captain Galvens told the players that if they want to prove their worth to Threshold, then they will hunt down the assassin. They rode of to the tree line where they assumed the assassin to be. After traveling in the forest for a short while, they came across two Kelvin guards. One was carrying a crossbow and blue feathered bolts. The Kelvin Guards started questioning the players. The tension rose between them, and when the Guard decked Elric combat began. The fight was real short. The players brought back the heads and equipment back to the Threshold guards. They found that the crossbow bolt missed Baron Hal's heart by mere inches, and that he was going to be okay. Baron Hal had the group retreat back to Threshold due to the fear of another assassination attempt on him.
When they got back, Baron Hal and Mayor Millard told the players that they are going to break out Junge. The players debated for a while, and they decided that the best plan was to just "break down the door and hope for the best." Really the players were going to climb up the wall, and try to get Junge out of the tower he was in quickly. Captain Thiesen decided that he would come with the players on this one. He took a claymore, and he packed a trident that was Junge's. They all rode off on horseback again (woot!) with an extra horse for Junge. When they got close to Kelvin, they left the horses behind in some trees, and had Rayne guard the horse. Before they went in the city, Thiesen throw mud over his face, and cut his left eye in an attempt to cover his identity (obviously he is not wearing Threshold armor also). They all waited in the city until about one in the morning.
They had Ziek climb up the wall so that he can set up a rope for the rest to climb up on. Ziek waited until Thiesen climbed over before going over himself. The fight began. Thiesen held out against several guards on the left side. Ziek fought some guards on the right. Elric was suppose to be next, but he fell. He was caught be Ashton, but they both were hurt in the action. Detelle was then the next one to go over. He went over to hold off the guards on the right so that Ziek can break out Junge. Ziek managed to get through the doors and get Junge out. Atrem was the next one over, and he went to help out Thiesen. Elric tied him self to the bottom of the rope so that the fall won't hurt him, and Ashton went back to climbing the rope. Junge joined the fray, and Thiesen tossed him his trident. Junge went to help Detelle out on the right, and so did Ziek. Ashton just got over the wall when the Elven Guard fired a rain of arrows at the people at top. They hit the party, Thiesen, Junge, and some of their own. That is when the party decided to make a run for it. Detelle grabbed Junge and casted Levitate to get to the ground safely on the other side of the wall. Ziek decided that he would scale the wall back down. Atrem was tossed over the edge by Thiesen to Elric. Both fell down, but were okay since Elric was tied to the rope. Ashton and Thiesen fought off the guards on top real quick. Thiesen lost his left arm in the process. That is when Thiesen grabbed Ashton, and jumped down. He was okay since he used magic. Ziek attempted to jump on Thiesen also to get down quicker, but he missed and fell the rest of the way.
Detelle and Junge ran out of the city without any problems. They only ran into two guards at the west gate, whom they killed quickly. When the got to the horses, Detelle and Junge rode off leaving the rest of their party behind. The others did not have such an easy time. They had to hide in an ally in order to heal Thiesen up a bit. It was about five in the morning when they finally found their way to the city gate. The west gate was closed and guarded by about sixteen guards. Elric casted sleep and offed a several of them. They fought their way past the rest. The last they kept alive if he opened the gate. The hobbled back to their horses, and rode off with the rising sun on their backs. (This is now the fourth time in a row that the party has escaped a situation badly beaten. At least this time they planned to be badly beaten.)
They returned to Highforge in the morning. The party was finally heroes (of course, the party was just trying to start a war, but they will take the glory). The tales of their adventure traveled through the town, and many gave them gifts of chocolates and such. They spent the next several days shopping around, and healing from their battle. Maleik came to the party in Highforge, and he told them that they are going to take his mission now. Elric had the balls to insult him, and was hit with a curse that caused him to look really ugly. The next session they party will be back at Maleik's place, and it will be the 16th of Flaurmont. The players are going to sent to the mountains. (Good thing it is Spring, eh?...maybe)
