Sasserine, Session 5

Raven, Althomas and Frazine responded to a request by Lord Cato to find and capture the leader of one of Sasserine's new gangs, the Spiked Clubs. Irontusk, as the leader was known, was a half-orc who came to the city on one of the whalers based in the Azure District. It was rumored that he was hanging out on the docks there and the Hammers were asked to apprehend him.

The three decided to go to the whaling docks to do an initial reconnaissance and see what help they might need. It turns out that Irontusk was alone in the area. A dockside chase ensued with Irontusk trying to make a getaway rather than fighting. The Hammers pursued trying to jump from pier to boat and boat to boat.

Once the action started, bobbing boats, perilous nets, biting dogs and shipboard fires all impeded the adventurers' pursuit of Irontusk. Almost everyone tripped or fell into the water at some point. Just as Irontusk reached his skiff, Frazine caught up to him and pinned him in the bottom of the boat long enough for Raven to jump on Irontusk and secure him. The best three-way action we've seen yet! Althomas prudently decided to put out the ship fire.

The successful encounter earned each of the Hammers 100xp.
