ONGOINGThe following are the notes sent to the PCs, a summary of the action from the first session which appears in story form above.Session #3, Thursday 20th August 2015Starring-Zalt, Half-Elf Warlock 1 played by Simon.Grimm, Human Paladin of Tymora 1 played by Zoki.Zyler, Human Cleric of Tempus 1 played by Christer.Ken Lee, High Elf Wizard 1 played by Bob.The Action-1) The adventurers decide to exit the goblin lair, they'll be back to clear up the bad guys later- first off they need to chat with Klarg, having killed Yeemik like the Bugbear asked, after that it's time to get Sildar to Phandalin, first up they take a Short Rest. Alas their plan doesn't work out.2) As it turns out there's a very well fed wolf- Ripper, a pair of Goblins, and Klarg preventing the guys from leaving- the mighty Bugbear warrior has tricked the guys, it gets to fighting. At which point we recap Ken Lee's story, the Wizard is not having a good day- his mule has run off, he spent a little while upside down in a tree, and now he's wandered into a Goblin cave. The Wizard hears the fight and goes to investigate.3)  The adventurers scare off Ripper, kill the Goblins and capture Klarg- who is tied up; they also get their hands on Klarg's treasure. They do not however learn where Gundren has been taken, except that the Dwarf was give to Targor Bloodseeker, a nasty Hobgoblin in the employ of King Grol, the lord of the Cragmaw Goblins. Klarg also mentions the Black Spider but he has no idea or what it is. Klarg is not very well informed, although he tries hard to please. The adventurers have completed Quest #2 Destroy the Goblin Bandits. XP AWARDED.4) The adventurers grab Klarg, and a crate full of merchandise from a Lionshield Coster consignment, they find a bunch of this stuff in Klarg's cave; and then head onto Phandalin with Sildar.5) The adventurers arrive in Phandalin late evening and deliver the wagon and its contents to Barthen's Provisions, completing Quest #1 Deliver Gundren’s Provisions. They talk with Barthen a while, the merchant is unhappy to hear that Gundren is missing- he points the adventurers to the Stonehill Tavern, and hints that things are not as they should be in Phandalin. The adventurers also learn that there is a Lionshield Coster merchant in Phandalin, she (Linene) will want to know that the Goblin cave contains a cart load of her goods, she's feisty Barthen warns. The adventurers have also completed Quest #3 Get Sildar to Phandalin, although the bodyguard has yet to pay them for getting him safely to Phandalin. XP AWARDED.6) The adventurers retire to the Stonehill Inn, Sildar has paid for their rooms and bought them dinner and drinks, the guys take a little time to talk with the locals, they cause quite a stir as they still have Klarg, the Bugbear, in tow. They certainly make an impression on the Inn's inhabitants, eventually Klarg is found a place to sleep in the town cells.7) The adventurers learn lost of new things, including- a) the Townmaster Harbin Wester is a fat fool, according to more or less everyone they talk to; b) Sister Garaele, the local priestess of Tymora was spotted recently returning to Phandalin- she looked beaten up, this according to Narth a local farmer; c) Phandalin is home to a 'sexy' adventurer called Daran Edermath, Zyler it turns out is also 'sexy', according to the barmaid, Elsa- Zyler proves immune to Elsa's charms, the priest only has eyes for Tempus; d) there are Orcs in the hills, according to Lanar a dwarven miner, there's a reward for killing them- see Harbin the Townmaster for details; e) there's a local mercenary gang- the Redbrands, they were hired to protect the town, of late they have started to extract protection money from the town's inhabitants- Harbin the Townmaster has defended their actions, he seems to be out of his depth. There are further rumours that one of the citizens of the town, a woodcarver by the name of Thel Dendrar, was murdered by the Redbrands a day or so ago. Trilena the Innkeeper's wife pleads with Zalt to go and see Halia Thornton who runs the Phandalin Miner's Exchange, she knows what's going on; f) further chatter reveals that Halia (see above) is a doer, rather than a worrier like the Harbin the Townmaster, she gets things done, other citizens recommend the adventurers visit with her. XP AWARDED.8) Sildar informs the adventurers, before retiring for the night that he will meet them at breakfast for a chat, and that they should be careful who they share their 'information' with. The member of the Lord's Alliance also tells the adventurers that he will be moving into the Town Hall tomorrow- it's time Phandalin grew a backbone, he's going to bring a little order to the place. 9) The adventurers take an extended rest- Zyler, Zalt, Hellwhip and Grimm are all Level 2.Session #3 Ends.Ongoing Quests- None, but lots of places and people to check out (see above & below).NPCs of note- Gundren Rockseeker (Patron)- MISSING, Sildar Hallwinter (Lord's Alliance), Elmar Barthen (Barthen's Provisions), Toblen Stonehill (Stonehill Inn), Tilena Stonehill (Toblen's wife), Pip Stonehill (Toblen & Trilena's young son).
