STE Session 3 Recap
What Happened
Leaving the Beaver Colony
Our party of heroes set out in haste from the Beaver Lakes to reach Bruce the Bemused Brown Bear's Cabin. On the way a group of Giant Eagles attacked our party but became pillow stuffing instead. Taking some time to loot the area, the party obtained a few magical items and a giant eagle egg. Bruce the Bear hosted them for the night and gave them a private letter for Berg's mayor. Siegfried opened it with slight of hand, and the party discovered that a spy for the Great Canopy exists in Berg!
Our Man Eaburn
Arriving in New Burgy our heroes convinced the great logger Eaburn to wear a ridiculous suit and take control of the Giant Beavers. He was easily convinced but has given the party a quest of his heart: deliver a wood carved keepsake to Delia, a nymph of the Berg Valley. Surely, love will triumph.
While sorting out the wood issue, Galvas talked to Michael the Sage about what might be lurking in Mine Shaft 4 of the Grumah Silver Mine. The Shadow that Walks Behind is no deity to mention lightly let alone offend.
Going Up
Upon returning to Berg proper, the party was greeted with the hero's welcome they deserved. Mayor West Adam debriefed them and thought that the spy for the elves might not be Reynolds. The mayor was almost more interested in revenge against the Great Canopy and wanted the Giant Beavers unleashed soon.
As the city feasted the party dispersed. Galvas studied in the library and found out more about the Shadow that Walks Behind. Abis tracked a suspicious female elf to a small apartment where something happened. Siegfried struck out. Amreth von Helritter got a good night's rest.
The Berg City Council Meeting did not go as planned. When Reynolds did not show up, Mayor Adams had to send police to his apartment. He had been murdered! Siegfried used his bardic talents to incite the crowd to elect Abis to his seat on the council. A vote for partial mobilization was taken, and the city is calling up the 1st and 2nd Companies. This mustering will take two days. With Abis abstaining a second time, the City Council voted to reward the heroes of the hour a talent of gold each - 3,000gp worth of treasure.
