Expedition 8: The Fields of Moseley

  Player created map. Expedition Party: Feodor, Gossamer, Gregor, Koga As soon as rumors of the large building spotted in the Fields of Moseley made their way back to Strotherhine there was interest in organizing an expedition to explore it. Feodor makes it clear that he wants to explore the building and he convinces Gossamer, Gregor, and Koga to join him. On the 23rd of Balers’ the group sets out into the hot humid marsh around Strotherhine with a course charted south through the Fields of Moseley to the confluence of rivers where the structure had been spotted.  Their first stop is the tower ruins that they have been using as a sort of trading post with a group of goblins they had encountered. As part of the expedition preparation the party had purchased three pairs of boots, because the goblins had previously left them a drawing requesting these items. They reach the tower and make their way to the basement larder. There they put the boots on top of a rotting wooden crate, ...

They decide to map a section of an unknown river that will take them into the pine forest known as the Burning Weald, and that they hope will feed into the grassy Fields of Moseley.

Player created map. Expedition Party: Gossamer, Barnaby, Feodor, Koga, Reike,   The heat of summer makes itself uncomfortably known as the group sets out from Strotherhine. Their goal is to further explore the space beneath the well they had previously found during Expedition 4. Quickly they march south through the Fields of Moseley to the ruined tower, and pass onward to the hill with the blackened oak, the collapsed shrine, and the strange well.  Once there the group makes camp. During the night those standing watch see odd human-like figures in the fields, they wander in the tall grasses but don’t approach the hill, likewise the party doesn’t approach the figures. During the second watch they witness the figures hunched over in the grass making sounds like loud eating and slurping.  The next day is equally hot and sunny with little to no wind and the party moves to explore the spot where the figures were hunched over. They find human remains, recently dead but lar...
