Brylwynn Slays an Ogre!
S01E09
Yrdlyn revives Pearl and heals Caulkin with a spell. We quickly leave Agatha’s house and head to Conyberry. We come across a humanoid creature, Brylwynn, who tells us that she is lost and coming from Yartar. She is looking for her family, who are traveling musicians, who she left after she was set to marry a Lord Farquad. She was instructed how to do (evil) magic by a Court but is currently on her own. She hates Orcs. She is a Bard and plays the “Lou.”
She is a dwarf with red hair who carries a rapier (Sword 2). She carries light armor and wears boots.
She also shares that orcs are intimidating, aggressive, and attack with abandon.
We take a long rest just south of the Old Owl Well. We wake up and head to Wyvern Tor, which is a large crag in the mountain. Yrdlyn leads the group with Brylwynn and we get lost for several hours. We come across a sizable hill and the faint smell of smoke lingers in the air as we approach Wyvern Tor. There is a cave mouth and a single orc is present. We all attach the orc together with ranged weapons and it explodes.
Caulkin and Ari raid the body and find really gross hide armor and its great axe. A fight ensues in the deep depths of the save with Big Mama and several orca. Brylwynn slashes Big Mama’s throat in a final blow as she falls to the floor.
We ranrask the bodies:
750 copper, 180 silver, 62 electrum, and 30 gold pieces
Treasure chests containing 3 vials of a perfume (10 gold each) which we traded away.
We don’t see any signs of a traveling family. In the back of the cave we find and save Travis Willingham again.
Brylwynn recognizes that Big Mama is an Ogre. She rips out an Orge’s tooth as a souvenir for dealing the final blow.
We rest in the cave overnight. While on watch Caulkin and Brylwynn share stories. We learn that her family is from a traveling group of musicians and storytellers. She shares that she is not a skilled musician and always played backup. She is looking to return with her family after her marriage failed to the evil Lord.
We rest up and head to Conyberry and then back to Agatha’s home. Glittr and Brylwynn go into Agatha’s home and offer to trade their bottles of perfume for an answer. Agatha takes all 3 bottles of perfumes and Brylwynn asks, “what is the name of the wizard who built the tower at Old Owl Well?”
Agatha answers, “Arthindol is the name of the wizard who built this town centuries ago.”
We head back to Old Owl Well to visit Hamun. He tells us that Cragmar Castle is along the Tribor Trail. From Phandalin, head due north for a half a day's journey. It is an hour into the woods.
At the Old Owl Well we speak with Hamun and she shows him the ogre tooth as proof. She scurries into his tent and continues his work.
In Conyberry we split from Brylwynn who chooses to head back East in search of her family.
