The Quest for the Idol

The Quest for the Idol was the first quest undertaken by the party after arriving in Wastelandia. It follows Eirien, Nicholai, Shreklan, Suqa and Tatsumaki and is centered around the village of New Haven, whose idol has been stolen by bandits. The quest was DMed by Bangedaardvark.

Plot
The Party of Tatsumaki, Eirien, Shreklan, Suqa and Nicholai found themselves in a town called New haven in the land of Wastelandia. They noticed that the townspeople looked more glum than usual and after asking a bartender, a farmer, the mayor, a priest and an old library book they found out that this is because the idol that represented their god had been stolen by bandits. Without this idol the town has experienced sorrow and a lack of good crops.

Wanting to bring the idol back to the priest, the party headed north but were soon attacked by 2 giant wild bees. They were an easy opponent and were taken down almost immediately. The travelers then ended up at 2 houses. One of them had nothing but 4 blue scorpions which Suqa had his way with, checking them off his list. The other house had some people who at first were incredibly intimidated by Shreklan’s attempts to knock the door down, but they helped our adventurers out and told them where to go.

The party arrived at a camp guarded by bandits. After a successful attempt to distract the guards by lighting a tent on fire, they snuck through the camp and found a cave leading off in several tunnels. After searching and fighting a few groups of bandits, they finally made their way to the lair of a giant troll with the idol around its neck. The troll’s attacks against the party were ineffective but it’s armor made it hard for our heroes to land hits. Eventually Eirien’s arrows shot the troll down and they got the idol along with a treasure chest full of gold and a rare bunny which Suqa also had his way with (and Eirien kept as a pet, traumatised by Suqa’s treatment of it).

The party went back to the town and returned the idol to the priest, who they discovered was of questionable character. They were rewarded with prostitutes and beer and left after Shreklan burned down the tavern to have his revenge on the bartender who refused to give him a discount for fine beer.
