Yes, same as last time but the map is now two by three feet.I had an average group of five. I had an average group of five. Silk Arcane Trickster 5 Warlock 1 Half elf. Haru Hunter Ranger 5 Wood Elf. Zar Brass Dragonborn Wild Magic Barbarian 7. Fat Fingers Paladin 5 Barbarian 2. Mountain Dwarf. Pedri Cleric 5 Dragonborn.Note PCs below level 6 can use downtime days to promote to level 6.The cunning plan of bluffing Bowl works. Silk uses disguise self to appear as a bandit. He cons Bowl out of Weevil location, counter signs, and one location south of Xantharl’s Keep. Xantharl is not Xanathar nor is he beholding to him.As they enter the fortified village of Xantharl’s Keep, it is ready to fight off giants or bandits. Heavy crossbows are mounted to wall every ten feet.Zar, “Very strange. We spend five days travelling. No wandering monster encounters. Something Strange is happening. Falling Orc inn has no falling orc. Must play in that adventure soon. I like making orcs fall. In the fall.” The half ogre owner approaches the group.Arzastra, “Larg. Larg. Customers. Five horses. It will be 1 silver for feed and shelter of horse. 1 gold piece for two people to room. Larg. Where is that dwarf? If you are here about the red dragon, I will tell the story at dinner.” A wimpy life beating hill dwarf approaches and starts to take the horses. The PCs give no clue they know it is the Weevil. Silk throws some thieves sign and most people get it. As he turns the corner he does another disguise self and watches Weevil.Fat Fingers, “Why no back door to this place?”Arzastra, “No fire code and inn was built on rubble of last war. Also prevents adventurers from sneaking out without paying the bill.” Later. “Larg, go to bed. Muck stables out in morning. Poor Larg. Only PC who survived snow avalanche in Valley of Khedrun. Evil Red Dragon named Smog. Larg is looking for adventurers. But since Larg still owes me room and board it will be 10 gold pieces at once to get him out hock. He pays me a gold piece a week to pay off debt.”Fat Fingers, “How many weeks has he been paying?”Arzastra, “Ten. Not really only four weeks. You have rooms 1, 3, and 5. The common area on second floor does not close but you must provide own light source after ten. Third floor is off limits. It is employee housing and noble lodgings.”Pedri, “I am a noble and so is Haru. Why are we given room there?”Arzastra, “Sorry you had horse pucky on you. Nobles generally not covered in horse pucky.”Later night at exactly 2305 hours. Haru hears a vague disturbance from the west side of the village. He then hears knocking on the front door. He wakes everyone on the second floor before the knocking ends. He turns a corner to spy a bugbear entering the second floor.Bugbear, “Move aside wood elf. We are only here for the bounty for Weevil.”Zar, “My bounty. No sharing. Choppy Chop.!” A fight breaks out. Bugbears charge up the stairs to be blocked by Haru and Zar. Silk, Fat Fingers, and Pedri go upstairs to capture Weevil. He uses disguise self to make him look like Bowl. He calls out for Weevil and Weevil replies from room 12. From room 3 the half ogre is heard to be armoring up. And screams from the bar maid are heard from room 7. Two NPCs provide covering fire with long bows for Zar.Silk, “Why does this always happen? We show up. And later giants show up.”Bob NPC look up from the second floor and makes eye contact with Silk. “Face Palm. Why does this always happen. You are a PC. Us NPCS would have a great life if wasn’t for you PCS. No taverns burning down.”Zar, “It on me to do list”Bob NPC, “No barmaids getting wooed!”Zar, “It on me to do list”Bob NPC, “No getting punch in the face because you want a bar fight.”Zar, “It on me to do list”Frost Giant, “No getting crushed by rock to show that the boss monster arrived.”Bob NPC, “FRAK!” A boulder crashed through the second story hallway crushing Bob NPC, and the other NPC. It rolls down the carpet and crushes Zar’s foot.Bugbear 7, “Wrong floor boss Up one floor. Over one hallway. Weevil is there.” A second boulder crashes into the third floor.Frost Giant Kaltivar, “Hello Weevil. You are worth five K to me. Alive. You small ones leave my bounty alone.”Arzastra, “Larg is Weevil. I claim Weevil’s bounty!”Weevil, “Bowl, second floor or third. Come on snap out of it. Who are those two? Did you at least bring rope. Out the back window.”Bugbear 7, “A hand up for me and number 8 boss.” The bugbears hop off the giant’s hand and down one of the third floor hallway toward the bounty.Silk, “New hires boss. Pedri is nice smelling one. Fat Fingers is the other. You hear the boss, help him out the window to the back alley.” As Weevil opens the back window, Pedri casts Hold Person on him. Fat Fingers grabs him Bride of Frankenstein style and hops out the window.Kaltivar, “No fair. Escaping down back alleys. Dash to the back DM.” As the frost giant removes his eyes from the third floor peep hole, Silk slides down the rope. And casts disguise self to make him look like Weevil.Arzastra, “Hey bring back my bounty.” She attacks one of the bugbears and Pedri attacks the second.Silk, “You go west with the bounty and I will go east.”Weevil, “I not anyone’s bounty.”Group, “You shut up. The hold person applies to speech too.” Fat Fingers, Silk, and Kaltivar are temporary blinded as Pedri casts Daylight. This allows Fat Fingers to get away. Silk dashes around the corner only to be captured by the giant. The giant calls for a retreat while carrying Silk away. Just as they depart the East gate, Silk uses shocking grasp and escapes from the giant’s huge hand. As he gets back into the village, the lucky feat allows him to slip the grasp of the giant.Meanwhile, the real Weevil has shaken off the hold person, and leads Fat Fingers to a hidey hold. He lets Fat Fingers take first watch.Meanwhile, the guards have responded to the East Gate, where they start arresting everyone. Zar is hurt after taking a javelin to the eye. Pedri wants to heal him but is stopped by the guard.Pedri, “Why can I heal him before my arrest. Besides. I am a noble you can’t arrest me. Or I will have your job.”NPC Guard, “The Law of Long Rest allows me to deny healing. He be find come morning. Now you can resist arrest and me and my twenty guards will plug you full of crossbow bolts. Or you can take your horse pucky self to jail and let the noble lord take the case.”Narbeck Horn Lord of Xantharl’s Keep is not happy. Last night both gates were attack by ogres, goblins, hobgoblins, airborne goblins, bugbears and a giant. Two nobles are causing trouble in jail. And both the inn keeper and nobles are declaring dibs on Weevil. “My dear Sirs. While I have never heard of golden dragon kingdom but have heard of Nightstone, I was unaware you both have taken to adventuring path. I have contacted Mirabar about the attack and captured of Weevil. But I cannot pay out the full amount.”Pedri, and Haru, “What. How rude and disrespectful. The Lord’s Alliance shall hear about this.”Three days later. The group get shorted 250 GP to help pay for damages, and life insurance on those who fell during the attack on the west gate. They leave by the East Gate.DM Notes.The druid Linus von Pelt is working on your great pumpkin.If you been unable to attend due to reasons, feel free to level up your pc level 6 and you can owe my downtime days.
