Bogul's Bruisers Session #13
Chicken with Centaurs
Passing over the Tale's End Bridge, the group ran into Shifty (Goblin) and his gang, an old friend of Bogul's, trying to extract a toll from the bridge.
The group threw their toll into the river, causing the gang to jump after it and be swept down the river towards Trine
They arrived in the Duskmaker Plains to find a burnt patch of grass with the bodies of burned Satyrs
Hannah revived one of the Satyrs who helped convince their fellow that the group was no threat, unlike the dwarven woman with a metal arm who had ignited them all and the plains themselves
The group returned with the Satyrs to a grove magically hidden in the plains where they drank, made love, played games, and enjoyed themselves, trying to forget about the earlier tragedy
Jezria chose instead to meditate above a waterfall and encountered a being made entirely of water
That night, the group dreamed vividly in the grove
Bogul dreamed of being a king of rats who eventually became a rat king
Tulwar dreamed of running down the barrel of a gun and being willingly fired into the face of Titania
Jezria dreamed of accepting ever-escalating acts of compassion from complete strangers ending in someone killing themselves for her
Hannah dreamed of writing amazing stories do have someone else take credit, and being happy about it
In the morning the site was approached by a group of centaurs, one of whom named Patrakos, struck the leader of the Satyrs, explaining Deli's brazenness was an affront to all denizens of the Duskmakers, and the Satyrs were responsible.
When the group jumped to the defense of the Satyrs, Patrakos rode down Jezria, attempting to scare her. She stood strong and earned what may have been some respect before he insulted her and rode off.
The Satyrs begged the group to kill Deli for them and they agreed, riding hard to chase her down before she reached Run'Thar
With their horse exhausted, the group found Deli amid another scene of flame, Centaurs this time, and approached to engage her.
