I had an average group of five. Ember Life Cleric 6 Human. Liu Fang (Luo) monk 6 Aasimar. Zephron twilight cleric 6 Human. Geronimo totem of bear Barbarian 6 Half-orc. Philip way of the moon druid 6 Tiefling.

Liu Fang starts spike growth shedding a guardian. Suddenly from out the smoke, Werewolves arriving. Suddenly from the tower, Priestess in the window and her back up coming out the side door.

“I said fireball on a single target dm! Do I get extra damage!”, asked the priestess.

DM, “Do you look like a PC. No. But the party is tripled split. Zephram is a goal line blocking the werewolves. Ember is on the fifty trying to make to my end zone. The rest of them are all around the fire tower. Most are beating up the druid.” Sound of dice rolling. “No, the druid is down.”

Liu Feng power drives the priestess from the window and tries to spike growth shreds her. “WHERE is my spike growth. It was here a round ago! Oh!” Geronimo punches a guardian. Suddenly from out the left window.

Elizar Dryflagon, “A wall of fire on you if you don’t surrender. Rats can’t get my allies on in.”

Liu, “ha. Sucks to be you.”

Elizar, “Well BLIGHT YOU!” The monk drops and takes one death fail. With two pcs dying, Ember slides into Phillip toss a potion of healing down his throat. Cartwheeling with two inches to spare as an ACTION feeds Liu the last of Ember’s Healing potions.

NPCS, “FRAK!” Phillip and Liu move out of sight of the Elizar. Elizar, “Well BLIGHT YOU Barbarian!”

Geronimo, “I would like to reckless attack. I am pissed.”

DM, “Well It is your first time.” One werewolf drops, the other runs away. Until a guiding bolt arrives from Zephram. He dashes toward the tower. And bolts the Elizar, the monk runs up the stairs and punches Elizar to death.

Suddenly from upstairs in the tower an Azer comes down and Thor’s Hammer Liu, four small elemental flies down on Zephram and Geronimo.

“We are going to die” says a voice. DM, “They are only magmins!”

Zephram, “Plus are four are in range of the spirt guardians.”

They live. The group is taking a short rest inside the tower covering the windows. On the left side. “You in the tower. The water cult thanks you for your service in taking out the fire cult.” On the right side, a mad druid is amaze at the line of bs put out by the druid. He argues with himself. Meanwhile his sprite ties the shoes laces of the druid together and rustles her rat. Both sides retreat. The looting, and feasting begin.

They return to Red Larch and their first-floor apartment. Marvin shows up with two buckets of copper pieces. Marvin, “Me Maw told me to tell you to teach me your big city slicker barbarian ways.”

Geronimo, “And where are her biscuits? And how did you find us?”

Marvin, “It was a long trip. I have her recipe. And you been telling everyone where you at. Please teach me.”

Geronimo, “This shirtless dude is Liu Feng, he will punch you to death. And maybe teach you how to act around girls. NO more dating any girls with less than three teeth. This is Ember, she will kill you then heal you. This is Zephram, He will kill you and then heal you. And this Phillip, he turns into an OwlBull and gore you, buck you, and kill you. Pay attention to them. You may live.”

The group takes two days off. Marvin is going to help cook at Helm at Highsun and be night watchman at the mansion. Also, the second morning the road collapses revealing the location of the moving stones. The first time you murder hoboed towns folk.

Group, “Oh we forgot that.” With the road temporary closed, the mansion construction will be delayed until day 61. And the town is aware of what was your secret escape tunnel.

Hearing rumors of the fire witch they visit the Nettlebee Ranch. The Nettlebee are family of halflings who ranch sheep, cattle, and a few horses. A witch is branding the livestock with a new brand, which makes it illegal to sell the stock. A large bonfire was seen three days ago at Uthgardt barrow mound. Also, the fire witch just last night struck one of the neighbors.

Investigating the burn site, Marvin finds out kerosene was used to start the bonfire. Philip just notices in the distance a Uthgardt horse rider is spying on them. They go back to the ranch for lunch and more information.

They decide to camp out next to barrow to see if the fire will show up. They argue until midnight to breech the barrow or leave alone. One minute after midnight.

Liu Feng, “Fine I going in alone.” He punches the lock off and goes in. Ten seconds later a dozen horse riders come over the barrow hill and start moving down the hill.

A few seconds later, Liu Feng is wondering why it got cold very cold in the barrow. Meanwhile the horse riders are coming down the hill and slowly curling toward Marvin and Geronimo. Phillip and Ember have not been seen, near has Zephram who is flying high cover.

Liu Feng lifts the cover off the first coffin and stares into the glowing red eyes of skeleton. Meanwhile the horse riders are near the bottom of the hill.

Javor, “What are you doing in my crypt you hunk of burning love man?” Liu Fang starts explaining about the bonfire. “Show me, I command it” declares Javor. They walk toward the entrance.

Meanwhile Marvin and Geronimo are trying to explain why the barrow is open. IT means death.

Javor, “What is the Sam Hell is going on? You Great grand kid. Have you lost your horse sense?” He grabs the flanker by the ear and points to his left. “You missed the cleric and druid. You disappoint me great grandson. Grand daughter Fennor why haven’t you kill these people yet. So, their excuse is they watching for a fire witch. Let see the sight. Some two halfling have started with kerosene. Find them and destroy their ranch and family.”

Liu Feng and company talk the undead grandpa down. They only need six riders and they want to talk to the ranchers so only the guilty are punished. They return to ranch and Wiggan and Bertram confess to save their family.

DM NOTEs. We will do the Temple of Howling Hatred (page 78) next week but choose one of the two just incase we need it. Temple of the Crushing Wave (page 84): Dire Tidings (page 76):
