Session 9: 2 Hunters 1 Bottle

As told by Helios Winston

As we sit at the bonfire, I pull some embers out to cool into charcoal. B’atz helps me.
Everyone else is talking amongst the Vishtani.
A Vishtani hunter, Harkus Belasco, and his wife, Tereska, come over to Ziven and spark conversation, somewhat insulting us.
We share a bottle of wine provided by Tereska.
I try to talk to Ilac to get some incense, herbs, and a bronze bowl. I believe he may have been trying to take advantage of my drunk state. Ziven stepped in and said he can help with my needs
Ismark and Ireena are staying to themselves while we all talk among the Vishtani.
We all go to sleep late into the night around 1 am.
I wake up early to perform my “find familiar” ritual to summon L’zard the bat.
Soon after everyone wakes. Utztec brings me my rations for the day as my hunger is getting unbearable. My fangs extract as he gets close to me as I sense his life energy. I am able to fight back the urge and eat my rations.
We head out of the camp and are a bit of a ways out when Ismark mentions that we not take the direct route to Vellaki to try to put some distance and distractions between those that may be following us.
Ireena is almost entranced by castle Ravenloft looming over the land
We head into a dark forest where suddenly a wolf jumps out toward Utztec
The wolf was not a match for Utztec as he cleaved him in half.
We come to river with a rocky bank to climb up. I fell into the water and got swept in the current a bit of the ways down.
As I get out and back on the trail, I hear a swoosh and snap, and all of a sudden Ziven and I are stuck in a net swinging in the air.
After being cut down, we walk further until we reached the Shrine of the Mother Night.
We didn’t get to experience the beauty of the shrine as arrows swooshed passed out heads.
The hunters Belasco were attacking us. Combat Begins!
We defeated the pets and the hunters realized they were outmatched. They ran and we pursued.
