This session played July 4, 2025.
Overland E6 Swamp (SAFE) - Day 9 First Light - Overcast
We need to figure out our next move. We can go to the east beach and try our luck with the ferry, or scout the situation from cover in the north.
Party takes a vote, 1d20 [Low: Ferry; High: Forest]:
Ryarn: 3 → Ferry
Denton: 7 → Ferry
Daeniel: 11 → Forest
Brolga: 10 → Ferry
Ryarn: Gartak, does the King accept visitors?
? Solodark oracle:
1d20: 9 → No, but
Gartak: Not in general, but he is a vain adn greedy man. He may grant an audience to one who means to flatter him, or do him some service.
Brolga: I think we’re cooked.
We move east.
Overland F7 Grassland (RISKY) - Day 9 Afternoon - Overcast
We arrive at the beach. There’s a modest dock here, leading out into the shallows. In the distance, over the expanding ocean, we see a flotilla of ten or a dozen wooden boats of varying sizes, all connected together by rope bridges and planks.
? Solodark oracle: Is there a ferry docked now?
1d20: 11 → Yes, but it’s unmanned.
There is no sign of the King’s people around the dock. The ferry is just a basic rowboat, could seat ten.
Random encounter checks x2 as we approach:
1d6: 4 → Clear!
1d6: 1 → Hit!

? Solodark oracle: Are the grasses near the beach tall enough to hide us?

Daeniel: Quickly, to the tall grass!
Everyone hunkers down in the grass. The grass is [1d6: 1 → Close] to the dock.
