The hell-hounds arrive, with a completely black man. He inspects us and congratulates us on the kill and points out our individual weaknesses [Zovoloze](/cfjMmRWhRx2a5saKtmMwaQ) got +1 WIS. [Aelen](/8uCZ8WhjQeyghi-_mxgOFg) got +1 STR. I got +1 STR. We get a 2x1 cm mark on our bodies and he proclaims that we are now part of the hunt. ## Resisting and leaving The Hunt. As the leader of [The Hunt](/gTIr2HTVToKOd0pxEGT-Mw) leaves us to get on his horse, we put on the manacles and engage the immovable rod. As the leader blows his horn, we get an irresistable urge to join them, but we are unable to, as we are chained to the rod. When they leave, we drink the wine. It is delicious and we pass out. ## Back to the Prince We wake up and the find ourselves in front of [The Prince](/tvvZFxX4Tp-NipoQNpdP-w#Prince-of-the-Chase), who says he will honour his agreement, but he will not release us from the manacles, unless we pay him something. Zov pays him a glowing cube, Aelan pays a piece of dragon scale, enchanted with a recorded message. I had nothing to offer him, but Zov gave him her bonus wisdom for my freedom, which he accepted. We asked The Prince for any advice about the [Arbor Witch](/tvvZFxX4Tp-NipoQNpdP-w#The-Arbor-Witch) or the journey, but he had nothing to offer. The Price asked us to stay for a party, but I didn't want to stay near the creep, so we left. ## Walking North We approached some trees with a little pond and a small riverlet leading east. There was a ridiculously large stone bridge across the riverlet. Near the bridge was a bucket about half a meter tall. Set up camp 1 km to the north. During the night I found a little camp 20-30 m to the North of us and found traces of a fight as well as some pork cooking. We weren't able to follow the trail, but the meat was delicious. Aelan managed to talk to some grass and it told him the people camping there were Elves and the people who came and fought them (and presumably took them) we goat-men. We went back to bed. ## Next day, walking East The following day, we walked East, in an attempt to pick up the trail, but there was nothing to be found, so we turned North instead. ![](https://i.imgur.com/wftRE8n.jpg) ## End of session [Next session](/e-UhKZElSrK4onWzWh9k0A) is scheduled for 2022-10-29, but it's unclear if Cj is available and we might do a Halloween one-shot instead.
