Hexplore24 Day 14/366

 

On the fourteenth day of their return journey to Emtor, the party found themselves navigating through the mountainous terrain, facing unexpected danger in the form of a Hrecha, a rare aerial predator of the Red Planet.

As the party ventured through the mountains, the Hrecha attacked, its claws slashing through the air with deadly precision. Nril Mandre attempted to use his Somnolence power to subdue the creature, but both attempts proved unsuccessful. Undeterred, the Hrecha targeted Xor, inflicting harm upon him. In a swift response, Xor drew his pistol and fired, striking the creature in the flank and momentarily stunning it. Seizing the opportunity, Argl unleashed his beastial nature, tearing the Hrecha to bloody ribbons in mere moments.

Though the battle was intense, the party's swift and coordinated efforts allowed them to overcome the threat. Xor's wounds were tended to promptly, ensuring his fitness to continue the journey to Emtor.

With the Hrecha defeated, the party proceeded through the hills toward Emtor, the remainder of their journey unmarred by further incidents. The familiar sight of the city walls emerged on the horizon, providing a reassuring beacon as they approached the safety and civilization of Emtor.
