Session 35: Into the Serth Hatama

When last we left our heroes... Crossing the Cheyth (with only a few minor hiccups as Tanurendal fell overboard after overconfidently trying to pole the barge down river), the Company stopped at Galal-i-Yalir long enough to ask a few questions about Sir Ralus' disappearance, but were unable to press the matter for fear of giving away the purpose of their mission. They continued on their way, pressing up the Serth Hatama for some miles until, on the third day since crossing the river, their path wound into a narrow gorge that dipped below the line of the trees. There, amid a honeycomb of abandoned caves, they encountered one of the Great Horned Beasts known to frequent those regions. With the aid of the freshly arrived Oratsos, Thoranrai's brother, and some keen shooting from Varsuja, the Company managed to lay the great beast low, after which they found a few valuable odds and ends in a cave nearby -- no doubt the remains of the beast's previous prey.
