May Day! May Day!

So the long and short of it was this:

Bronx, Granny, and Sven are exploring the caves. They come upon an opening where there is a group of maybe a dozen savage warriors. Sven suggests that Granny fly over them to distract them. Whilst the savages are chasing granny, Bronx and Sven can loot the room of their precious stones. (Bronx drools: "Oh the stones...")

Granny does so. She flies over the savages' heads and out of an exit on the other side of the cave, finding a passageway that runs east-west. She windwalks down the corridor, chased by savages, only to find a dead end -- Granny is trapped! So she spends a conviction point to empower her wind and creates a gale force that the savages cannot walk against. They are pinned.

Sven, Granny, and a pile of bodies

Bronx and Sven take advantage of the situation to charge the savages at the end of the line. Bronx puts them to sleep and Sven "slottras" them. Granny begins attacking those at the front of the line with her longspear. They have no reach weapons to use and ranged weapons prove futile. Some of the savages realize the situation is hopeless and run off, but all told the party killed about 10 savages and grabbed a pile of loot.

The party paused to lick its wounds and rest, but we heard drum beats. The savages were unleashed! Escape was our only option. So we fled, but two giant caterpillars attacked us on the way out, almost killing Granny and Sven.

It was a good battle, but the decision to flee was a wise one. Where are our friends? Where will we go next?
