Before creeping softly into the cave, Dermot warned the others to be ready to run. The ranger was gone for a sufficiently long time to get both Darrow and Shanni worried, so the petite rogue slipped inside after him. The dwarf was about to head in himself when Dermot reappeared and told them to...

Outside the Ascetic One’s house, the group briefly took stock of their situation. Aerikoth thought it might be in their best interest to depart the city for a time, as what they had done to the newly incarnated Shore Patrol and their removal of a feeding station, for lack of a better term, would...

The party walked in without knocking and were intercepted by Student Than just inside the threshold. He calmly accepted Dermot’s belated apology/greeting, then invited the four inside to meet with the Ascetic One, saying they were expected. Than moved to the side to stand next to his fellow...

The four adventurers paid close attention to their surroundings in the wee hours of Ches 29 as they made their way back to the Gatereach Inn. Darrow pointed out a nearby sewer grate in the Temple District and later Dermot noted to the others where he had lost the trail of the two visitors to the...

Dermot moved further into the cavern and then called to the others, who rapidly came to where the ranger was standing, in front of several humans imprisoned in wooden stocks. All of the people were alive, if barely conscious, but appeared unable to move or speak, due to their bonds. Shanni...

Finding Victims In the dark of the early morning of Ches 29, the four adventurers made their way through the streets of Westgate to the Temple District. The Hidden House was tucked away in a corner, a long-damaged placard out front the only indication of its presence. They eyed its entrance...

The Ascetic One told them that he knew of a hidden place, outside the city, where he went once long ago as part of a personal trial. It was once a place of evil, and he expected that it remained so. Dermot and Shanni were bemused by the description and Shanni questioned how this could help them...

Following the high priestess’ directions, they made their way through the West Gate district to the southwest corner, Shanni still occasionally grumbling, until they came to a narrow door near a sewer entrance; the Jolly Warrior inn was also in sight. This matched the description of the house...

Searching for Allies Close upon dusk, when the company was expected back at the Temple of Lathander, Darrow rejoined the others in front of it, arriving just as Aerikoth was finishing cleaning the group with his prestidigitation spell. The dwarf surmised where they had been and wondered why he...

Late afternoon on Ches 28, the three adventurers departed Thessar’s house and Darrow headed back to the Gatereach, to check on the arrangements Jandrico was making for assistance with his brewery in Tallwell. Shanni then appeared, sauntering up to Aerikoth and Dermot to inform them she had been...

At Dermot’s suggestion, the three then headed over to Thessar’s house. Once they arrived, Aerikoth rapped on the door with his staff and a gruff voice from inside asked what they wanted. The wizard announced himself and asked if they could have a word with Thessar. After a moment, the door...

The Shore Shanni, being rather impatient, with that left the temple, saying she would spend some time lurking by the known Shore entrance to the underground sewers. That left Aerikoth, Darrow and Dermot free until sundown, when they would be expected back at the Lathander temple. They decided...

The four adventurers decided to attend to their separate affairs that morning, regrouping in the early afternoon at the Gatereach. Jandrico Swift took a deposit of 100 gold from each of them for the guest house lease, promising to include personalized furnishing requests for their individual...

Aerikoth interrupted before Vendalus could speak further, saying he wished to inquire something of him and this Brother Millerjoi. In the letter, the wizard noted, Veran had asked to research any documents that the Order believed to be relevant. The monk informed Aerikoth that they had done such...

As the four adventurers were coming to agreement on taking the guest house, a tired-looking man dressed in monk’s robes and carrying a staff walked into the room, announcing that he was seeking Jandrico Swift. Jandrico came out of the kitchen and identified himself, as the others looked...

Chapter X: An Ancient Evil Message from the Past On the morning of Ches 28, the company trickled into the Gatereach’s back room for breakfast, Darrow being the first despite his late night “research” for his brewery business. The dwarf confessed to not really liking most of the ales he sampled...

As Kablin cleared the rough-hewn inn table, he inquired if the adventurers would be taking the road out that day. Dermot replied that it looked like they would be, one way or the other. The innkeeper said he and his wife had been right proud to have them there, which earned a smile and a return...

Next morning on Ches 27, the adventurers awoke relatively clean and rested, leading Darrow to seriously question whether they actually had fought a bunch of giant rabbits the day before, or if he had overdone the bedtime ale. Dermot assured him that was actually a thing that had happened. The...

By the time the sun began to set, Shanni had returned and Aerikoth had locked himself in one of the inn rooms, in order not to be disturbed while studying his magic. A meager supper of flavored broth was served in the common room to Darrow, Dermot and Shanni by the Kablins. The lack of available...

After Aerikoth and the two men accompanying him disappeared, Darrow, Dermot and Shanni did some more searching in the vicinity of Tallwell for a potential site for the dwarf’s brewery, while keeping an eye out for portal signs or potential sites for the Beast’s buried treasure. They met a...
