Ferry Besieged (Date 1/11/18)

Giada had few answers. According to her, the land beyond the border was madness and confusion. She couldn’t even say for certain that it existed as “a place”. The attempt to pull answers from Shena’s corpse was even more troubling. Rather than an antagonistic verbal sparring match with her spirit, a hostile entity seized control of the body, rose into the air and spewed threats and vitriol before immolating itself in a moment of brilliant fire.

Much debate was had. In the end, it was decided Giada would stay with the party - in disguise when necessary. Calls for her to face charges, and even execution, were quickly silenced by the Prince, who called her friend.

Once the party reached the road, Marty scryed in on Bar’Bark and found the gnoll living with the humans in a thrown-together compound made of crude barricades. The Fey Queen’s threat seemed genuine, Coronado’s Ferry was under attack! The party altered their route. They found a deserted river ferry had been constructed and abandoned. Fording the river by magic they arrived in town to discover the place besieged by the daemon they had released. Many had died and the camps of gnolls and humans had set aside their differences for mutual protection. Lieutenant Kenny Ismort and his troops were holding the town largely thanks to the arrival of Paladin Shelby and Sister Mjelde.

A war party was formed. Giada (revealed to Shelby) would track the beast back to its lair, and the party would kill the beast in its hole. Shelby, Kenny and Mjelde all joined to help.
