On the way David relates the history/legend of the priory. History Several generations ago the head cleric(Ormond) of the temple(then known as Greystone Priory) was found to be conducting vile experiments on sylvan folk in a secret laboratory beneath the temple. Another cleric(Lathane) found the lab by mistake, he was attacked and nearly slain by Ormand, but Lathane managed to stagger to Goblins Toothand tell the townfolk of Ormands vile experiments. The town martialed nearly 200 men and marched on the temple. Ormand manage to convince the temples clerics that the townsfolk were coming to destroy thier temple, so the clerics defended thier holy ground with divine conviction. In the aftermath less than 30 townsfolk survived, all the clerics were killed, Ormand was never found, nor was his secret lab. The townsfolk who did survive brought back a strange disease that ran rampant through the town, killing many.From that point on the place was considered cursed, and avoided by the town. Schohn found several traces of the passing of the shapeshifter and Carla, and just at nightfall the party arrived at the ruined temple. Searching an out building charred by fire the party was attacked by four blackened skeletons. Beroguer fails a turn attempt, but Luthien comes through and destroys two of the four in melee while Ryle manages to bring down one and the remaining party members destroy the last. Finding nothing of intrest they move on to the next building. The next building,heavily damaged from the long ago siege turns out to be the former kitchen, Nothing of intrest is found there. The next building holds the former dining room and the party finds several recently used targets, with kobold war darts stuck in them, three more targers show signs of sword practice. A third room holds large vats for alemaking, one of which holds a trapped skeleton and some brown mold. Ryld sets it ablaze destroying both the mold and the skeleton. Moving on the party enters an overgrown garden area with a central fountain. Two kobolds hiding behind the fountain surprise the party, wounding Beroguer with a dart, before Luthian smashes one with his hammer and Beroguer and Ryld take down the other. The koblods carry a total of 16 cp. Nothing else of intrest in the garden. Acouple of empty rooms in the main temple building, then the party stumbles onto the remains of one of the temples priests. A ghostly figure rises from the clerics remains and attckst the party. Luthian and David manage to hit the creature for minimal damage, but then it is driven off by Beroguer. This is where we stopped for the night. After a weeks break it was hard to focus. All in all it was avery poor night of gaming. we ended up quitting an hour early. Hopefully things will improve next week. Luthian had a great night in melee, while Schohn failed to hit. Necromos had a quite night(her sleep spells pretty useless against the undead). She did manage to land two his with her staff agains a skeleton(1 damage both times). Ryld had a solid night in combat, and Beroguer made a nice roll to turn the haunt.</blockquote>
