Wand of Magic missiles with 3 charges. Driftglobe.Loot items. One necromancer cave.I had an average group of five. Ember Life Cleric 4 Human. Liu Fang (Luo) monk 4 Aasimar. Sly sorcerer 4 changeling. Bucky Berserker Barbarian 4 human. Zephron twilight cleric 4 human.Zephron moves some bushes aside and sees the cave opening to necromancer lair. Ember pops light on her shield and the group moves in. A lone corpse lies forty or so feet in.Ember, “Zombie.”Zephron, “Corpse, and I pop the next light spell.” He pokes the dead body and is punched in his chest.”Ember, “I win.” As the first zombie is killed, a trio come out of the center hallway and activate a trap which knocks Zephron off his feet. The group slides down the slope and starts fighting zombies. Taking out the second wave, they move to right hallway and shuffle their order. Liu Feng wakes up five skeletons and seven corpses. As the dust settles, these are fresh skeletons and zombies. Their clothes are or were freshly press. Taking a short rest, they move into the left hallway where the zombies were a noble family. Stealing dad’s clothes, Sly finds pocket lint as his reward.Moving on they go on to sneaky mode but the workshop and it huge. And well lit. Liu sees some crawling claws, skeletons, zombies, and Oreioth the necromancer. Oreioth, “Welcome. Are you here of a job? Living or nonliving?”Liu Feng, “Sly. Sly I have someone you need to talk to!” Sly enters.Oreioth, “What are you doing in Ned’s clothing? For a second there I thought you were a zombie.”Sly, “He had better clothing than me. I love his tailor.” The two discuss how to well dress a zombie and the fact Sly had started a rumor of a zombie coming back to life when he shaped into zombie from session three.Oreioth, “I don’t have dental plan but I need people to collect bodies for me. Three gold for a fresh corpse with the face intact.”Sly, “What about a burned body.”Oreioth, “Those are only one gold because those become skeletons.”Sly, “group huddle. Do we want to earn some extra cash?” The group business plans are discussed in the other chamber while the necromancer waits. The discussion takes fifteen minutes before Sly and Bucky is over ruled. (This was a fun discussion and I allowed no dice rolls for the decision. Wish I could do it justice.)Liu, “Hey Oreioth we punching out!” Oreioth, “But you not on the clock yet.”Liu, “No we are punching your clock.” Oreioth, “naughty word. NOT the face.” A few rounds later.Sly, “Hey my new lair has an escape hatch.” The group looks at him.The group returns to Red Larch where Sly uses subtle suggestion to get the building permits to build his house over looking the quarry. (It will be done on day 56.) Their contacts get the location of Riverguard Keep. They get to river at night fall and spy a keelboat poling down the river. For five gold pieces and strength cleric and stupid cleric help, they pole back up the river to see if they can gain entrance by the water lock.At seven thirty the next morning, another subtle suggestion spell cast on Reash gets the chain lowered. As they about to make landing, Shoalar Quanderil on the Riverwind starts asking questions. Questions the Sly cannot answer.Initiative.DM Notes. We will pick this up at K 13 and K 10. And the Players know about the lich not the pcs.End of Session 597.</blockquote>
