Session 25 into session 26 recap:
We rejoined last session at the beginning of a long and fierce battle, between the party and the tree guardians, known as Brutes, along with their very powerful and overbearing leader… Treehead.
Francis was sadly within the grasp of Treehead, and as expected took heavy damage from being smashed into the ground several times, knocking him out cold, where he was then thrown with lots of force at Xerxes, who managed to catch Francis, and then get him to safety.
It remained very close for everyone during the battle, and at times looked like their impending doom, but with some clever thinking and lucky dice rolls, the party were able to escape after killing THREE of the Brutes, leaving only Treehead behind… without any minions of his own.
Back in the Rogue camp, the party quite near death at that stage, decide that resting was going to be the best thing to do, and so they opted to stay in the camp and take their daily rest.
During this time, both Xerxes and Kester decided to work on the tasks which they set for themselves, to a very efficient degree too… resulting in both of them improving in their field of chosen activities.
After the resting and recuperation is had, the party converge around the now unlit campfire, and sit down to try and discuss as a group, some much needed battle tactics for going forward.
Their quest however, is nowhere near completion, as they will have to take down Treehead, or find another way to reach the tree of Inifuss, get what they need, and get back out before the hulking beast catches up to them.
