Please update your character sheet / stat block before you post. Everyone has new toys, plus I think enough experience to level up. Please, let me know what needs to change in my status block.

As Hergunna made her way back to the town, the rest of the adventurers pressed ahead, following the woodland road toward the silver mine. As they got closer, the march became more laborious. The elevation picked up quickly, the road winding its way up the steep mountain. Further up, a light snowfall covered the ground.
Snow crunching under foot, the group spied a crude wooden wall blocking the road where the steep hills funneled the traffic though a narrow passage. Cautiously, they moved forward, and spied sentries atop the wall.
GM: | Roll for stealth and initiative. See the enemy results in Mechanics.
If everyone beats their perception, you'll have a surprise round.
If everyone fails to beat perception, the enemies will start with initiative.
If some pass and some fail, those who beat enemy initiative start now, and those who fail will go after the enemy's first round. | |

Summary of Events
1. Bested Pirates en route to Allaria. Traveled on the ship
Wind's Will captained by
Captain Levenbrech, and mated by
Porse and
Trig.
2. Arrived in the port, to find it besieged by Lizards from the unending mire. Defeated lizards and met/teamed up with Charina.
3. Journeyed to Geardagas and asked the locals for information with mixed results (
link to the leads gathered).
4. Went to the temple of Netari, where the new priest,
Father Niris, has been tending to the ill (apparently quite poorly). He led the players into the catacombs, where his zombie minions ambushed. The priest, over confident, rambled on about
Hellview (
background reference for players).
5. Dealing a mortal blow to the Priest, he says
Master De Luccia (First time they have heard the name) cannot be stopped, and he stated that Greggor "
will be... among the first... at Hellview." The priest laid dying on the floor with his fallen minions.
6. As they approach Hellview, they encounter the ghost of
Sir Alistair Glasston, who begged them to enter the cave and retrieve his lost battleaxe.
7. They entered Hellview, and came across a portal, as well as some guards/workers. It seems they were using zombies to dig a new path near the portal...
8. They step through the portal into a bizarre world. A demon statue looms ahead, with a tall gate behind. The bodies of fallen adventurers, as well as a dead demon, lay about the floor. Wil Triggered the Demon statue trap, alerting the nearby demon's.
9. After a long battle, they slew all of the demons who had come through the hell gate, and they found
Sir Alistair Glasston's lost battleaxe. But Greggor was still missing, and there is the question of why the demons were digging.
10. Hergunna departed the group to alert the local militia, while the others pressed ahead North, trying to find the source of the demon-aligned miners, as well as the lost silver.
11. They came upon a wall blocking the road to the mine.
