You are the one who is going to do most of the heavy lifting/background reading. The most you can hope for is that the players at least remember to bring their dice and character sheets... You will have to remember what happened last time and give a decent recap to get them re-situated in the adventure. They will have forgotten most of what happened until they are reminded.

You see an enormous half-orc stand up and head your way with a menacing look on his face. The barmaid points at you and walks off to another table..."</blockquote>
