Spare — Session 03 (November 2, 2023)
Cauldron Cave & The Hag
- Continued into Cauldron Cave — a complex of hotsprings where elderly frost giants once came to end their lives.
- Followed the fishermen’s footprints inside.
- Sarah fell through broken ice and was attacked by a water weird. Pulled her out, fought it, hurt it, and it fled.
- Found an explorer’s pick and a mining pick.
- Continued following the footprints.
- Found a skeletal giant encased in ice. Fought it. Tamwyn died in the fight, taking the skeleton down with her.
- Took a short rest. The bones were not the missing fisherman.
- Next room: a hag stirring a cauldron containing the remains of the fisherman.
- Tried to negotiate a way out. She knocked Spare unconscious, but the party won.
- The hag offered a deal: spare her in exchange for the cauldron and the location of a chest of gold.
- The party declined. Anthony killed her. They took the cauldron.
- The cauldron is a Cauldron of Plenty: produces 120 meals, usable 3 times per day.
- Received a grey Bag of Tricks as payment for returning the fisherman’s gear. Also received a reward.
- Rested in a tavern. Returned to Bryn Shander the following day — uneventful journey.
- Returned the Cauldron of Plenty to the church. Read in the two clerics to the secret.
- The cauldron would have been worth a lot of money to the unscrupulous. It will feed many people, but keeping it puts the church in danger.
- End of session.
