[QUOTE="pogre, post: 6048364, member: 6588"] Episode Two “Saviors of Sandpoint! That has a nice ring to it,” the Half-Elf ranger said with a smile. “A bit excessive,” Aggie, the paladin replied with a shrug. “The sheriff cometh,” the Ratfolk rogue Bug announced. Sheriff Hemlock marched straight towards the group with the priest Zantus following in his wake. The Sheriff thanked the group again for their service during the recent goblin raid. Hemlock went on to explain that he would like for the adventurers to accompany him to the Sandpoint Boneyard. The priest Zantus interjected that he found something amiss with the priests' burial vault. Hemlock wanted the group to accompany him to check out the vault. [IMG]http://www.pogre.com/ep02_01_outside_vault.jpg[/IMG] Skeletons burst forth from the vault! [IMG]http://www.pogre.com/ep02_02_skeletons_attack.jpg[/IMG] Skeletons taken care of the party found a robe that had a slight aura of magic and confirmed that the tomb of the town's previous head priest's sarcophagus had had been opened and the remains were stolen! Sheriff Hemlock asked the adventurers to avoid talking about what they had found as the town was shaken enough by the recent goblin raid. ***** The adventurers received a round of applause as they entered the Rusty Dragon tavern. [IMG]http://www.pogre.com/ep02_03_rusty_dragon.jpg[/IMG] The noble fop, Aldern Foxglove, offered them a place at his table. [IMG]http://www.pogre.com/ep02_04_supper_with_aldern.jpg[/IMG] The owner of the tavern, Ameiko Kajitsu, offered them as much free food and drink as they could consume. Ameiko also insisted that they stay at her tavern for free. Foxglove invited the adventurers on a boar hunt in the Tickwood Forest the following morning, which the group gratefully accepted. **** The boar hunt went well and the group and Foxglove were enjoying a feast of pork with many of the other Rusty Dragon regulars. A grumpy old man rudely stomped into the tavern and began screaming and yelling. The owner, Ameiko, came out and confronted him and a loud argument ensued. The Ratfolk priest, Shagrax, asked a nearby yokel, “Sayeth, who be that loud ancient one?” The yokel, well toasted by excessive drink and food, answered, “That's Lonjiku, her dad.” [IMG]http://www.pogre.com/ep02_05_ameiko_confronts_dad.jpg[/IMG] The fight degenerated into a physical confrontation. Ameiko finally banged her dad over the head with a ladle and he stormed out of the tavern. *** A couple of days later the adventurers had a meeting with the Sheriff. The Sheriff had not made much progress and discovering who was behind the raid. The Sheriff related the recent history of the town, including the fact a trusted citizen had gone mad and murdered 25 people in one month and the next month there was a massive fire that ruined the north side of town. The murderer was found in his strange abode on an island near the town.

The sheriff showed up to investigate the commotion and after the adventurers told Hemlock what happened. He took control of the situation and made arrangements for the woman and her children. “I knoweth not the nature of these females. Why would she not returned to the now safe den?” Shagrax asked. Aggie, nearly apoplectic, replied, “Because her husband was just slain in that house!” The Ratfolk shook their heads in confusion and scurried on. ** The trip to the island proved unfruitful and when they returned to town the adventurers were summmoned back to the sheriff's office. When they arrived at the office they met the Elf Ranger, Shalelu Andosana. She gave them a report about goblin activity in the area and a rundown on some of the nastier goblins. [IMG]http://www.pogre.com/ep02_06_meeting_sheriff_shalelu.jpg[/IMG] The Sheriff informed the group that Shalelu will continue to explore the surrounding area for clues about the new goblin activity and the party would remain in town to reassure the townsfolk. Shalelu and the group went to dinner that night at the Rusty Dragon and compared further notes on the local goblin tribes. [IMG]http://www.pogre.com/ep02_07_supper_with_shalelu.jpg[/IMG] * The next day a Halfling female in the service of Ameiko comes to the party and tells them her mistress is missing. She gives them a note she has translated. The note was from Ameiko's estranged brother asking her to meet him at the family glassworks. The adventurers agreed to immediately investigate. ***** The glassworks were very quiet, but smoke still puffed out of the central smokestacks. The curtains were drawn on all of the windows and all of the doors were locked, including the showroom door. Bug was the first notice there were skylights and he quickly scrambled up the building to have a look. Bug spied numerous goblins capering around the glassworks' furnaces. The goblins appeared to be dancing, singing, and hacking the bodies of workers apart. [IMG]http://www.pogre.com/ep02_08_view_through_skylight.jpg[/IMG] Bug scrambled down to report the atrocity to his companions. The adventurers broke into the factory and confronted the goblins. The goblins began to quickly fall to the groups' blades. Suddenly, a few of the goblins recognized the adventurers as the “longshanks” that had butchered so many of their kind during the town raid. [IMG]http://www.pogre.com/ep02_09_combat_in_glassworks.jpg[/IMG] A trio of the goblins fled the chamber. The adventurers butchered the rest of the goblins, and led by Shagrax, pursued the escapees. **** Shagrax followed the stink of the goblins down some stairs and into a small bedroom. There they confronted a trio of goblins and the half-elf Tsuto. [IMG]http://www.pogre.com/ep02_10_confronting_tsuto.jpg[/IMG] As the group fought and killed the goblin guardians Tsuto sought to steal past the adventurers. [IMG]http://www.pogre.com/ep02_11_tsuto_on_run.jpg[/IMG] The Saviors of Sandpoint caught him though and the Half-elf was cut down. [IMG]http://www.pogre.com/ep02_12_tsuto_caught.jpg[/IMG] A thorough search of the building led to discovery of: A semi-obscene journal kept by Tsuto detailing plans and hopes about the destruction of Sandpoint; Ameiko, bound, gagged, but still alive. Ameiko's father dead. The group also now had more questions than answers! [/QUOTE]
