Rise of the Runelords player’s notes

Here are the notes one of my players sent me.

We spent the winter continuing to clean out the fort, and Devron used his new teleporting skills to acquire equipment and supplies for the group.

As winter began to fade, one day we found a bird arrived with a not attached to it. It was from Shalaylu, and it stated that giants were begining to mass apparently for attacks, Devron also had heard rumors of this on his trips to the cities.

We teleported to Sandpoint, and talked to the Mayor about the rumors and Shalaylu’s note. He stated that he had heard the rumors, but had no concrete information, and Shalaylu was not in town currently.

The next morning we were awakened by the sound of stone smashing into stone, and quickly moved outside to investigate. We headed out toward the north part of town where the commotion was. We found that standing outside of the north gate were 3 giants wearing think pelts. They were shouting out taunts in broken common, and throwing rocks attempting to break the gate.

We moved onto the battlements, and Alana started shooting arrows, while Devron cast several spells. We continued the ranged fight, when suddenly we heard cries from the other side of town. Splitting the group Alana and Devron continued the ranged fight, while the others went to investigate. However the giants at the gate quickly turned and fled once Alana downed one of them.

At Tanners bridge the saw 2 giants, and 3 dire bears marauding into town, and Brock and DT moved to engage them, while Devron and Alana came over.

The fight between the party and the bears and giants was tough, and Inara was knocked unconscious, but we were able to overcome them, however 2 new threats appeared, 3 giants on the hill began to pelt the town with boulders, and a red dragon began strafing the town with its breath weapon.

The dragon finally landed on the cathedral and began shouting out taunts, as we began attacking it with our ranged attacks. We continued making ranged attacks until Devron lured him to the ground with a well placed cone of cold, although he was knocked unconscious by the dragons counter attack, however DT charged into the fray damaging the dragon heavily, and he fled. Upon seeing the dragon flee, the giants also turned tail and fled.
