Spirit of 1670 Campaign, Week Four

Tonight was week four in the Spirit of 1670 Skull & Bones campaign, and it was a blast.

Last week, the party was in the middle of being attacked by troglodytes, a small, lizard-like race that lived in the catacombs beneath St. Augustine. They valiantly fought through the battle, eventually breaking their enemies morale and allowing them to retreat. As the sounds of more troggies echoed through the catacomb walls, they ran back to the level's entrance and barred it just as the troggies burst through a reinforced door and were hot on their tails. After resting for a few hours to get their strength back, Ronald and Rodrigo convinced Aleida and Zanna to return below, as the Fountain of Youth is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. All seemed quiet, until they got to a room full of coffins, from which burst a small army of troggies.

The battle was truly joined. The troggies were led by an enormous warrior, wearing an old helmet and pieces of armor, wielding two large axes, and supported by several "soldiers" with swords as well as a handful of grunts. The battle raged, and The Porcupine fell to the warrior's axes, only to be decapitated a moment later. The party barely survived their first real fight, but collected a large sum of gold - as well as the leader's head, from which they couldn't quite detach the helmet. It seemed to have some kind of magical properties - perhaps this was the helmet they were looking for.
