So with most of the part 4 of them being level 5 I upped the threat level adding another Manticore (with reduced hp). I also had at that point 3 new level 1 characters and creating a challenging encounter has been challenging. Luckily everyone survived and Thurl was impressed. He had been told about the Savra encounter and after Savra asked Smaug the ranger to ask Thurl to join the Knights, Smaug debated it.I had a ceremony on the roof after the Hunt where Thurl was going to induct Smaug into the knights. It was a bit of a gambit on my behalf as Thurl had kinda said 'You have to leave your old world behind and embrace the air currents' ie leave the party which he never really was going to do. So Thurl congratulated the Heroes on the hunt and then proceeded to tell them about the Monastery and the foul monks. The Barbarian Draxxus took this point to challenge Thurl to a sparring session and then well Thurl ignored him as a '$%^$y' and other expletives.Thurl .. exploded  but kept his cool. I decided he would go for a different tactic. Most of the Knights were up on the top of the building (again I had added a few for a challenge) with some inititates. Thurl kept in check and was disapponted but allowed the pcs to leave. 3 pcs left (I have 7... most of the lower levels left) and then as Draxxus turned to leave he told him to wait because he wanted to talk to him. Smaug, Vola the Paladin, Draxus and Alfyr the Wizard decided to stay sensing issues but the others had left and the door closed and locked behind them.Thurl then calmy pointed at Draxus, his rage finally taking over for all the slights and indignations he had suffered pointed at Draxxus and said 'Kill him'.Combat started and the 4 pc group (with the other 3 locked out) were on the defensive already as Thurl  and Savra both started targeting Draxxus (In fact most of the Knights were, I purposely made them attack him to show they were really interested just in getting rid of him. )Of course then the others up top started to fight back but they knew they were more or less outnumbered (even with most of the people there being level 5). Draxxus went down, Smaug turned on Savra but in the end the other 3 pcs were still locked out and couldnt get back in and Draxxus went down first, then Vola then Smaug and finally Alfyr surrended and then was knocked out.However Thurl and Savra were dead. I elevated one of the knights, named Nathaniel to leadership and his orders were to take the others down to be fed to the birds.In the meantime the other 3 characters managed to finish off the very light forces in the rest of the Spire. They did not engage the Stable Master due to a fear of his animals.***********In Session 2, Nathaniel (being very street smart and paranoid) didnt actually carry through with his plan. One of the players didnt turn up to this session and he was character 3 in the smaller group so I was down to 2 pcs left standing). He left the downed pcs on the roof and went down hunting for the other pcs.  ( a Cleric, Utgar and a Bard,  (who I call Bard because I can never remember the name). Due to a combination of a freakin fight on the Stairs where it was hard to get to Utgar the 2 actually manged to take down the Knights who were left (it was a very very tight fight. The Cleric went down and the Bard was the only one left standing on 3 hp (these guys were both level 2 as well.. I did however reduce the number of knights due to a player missing). He couldnt find the downed pcs though. Then going outside he noticed them hanging upside down unconcious from the side of the spire. Rope around their ankles swinging in the breeze. I thought it was quite poetic <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />The StableMaster decided to escape being the only knight left. He let all the cages open , mounted a Hippogriff and fled. The pcs were in no condition to stop him.But they defeated the Knights and have the spire!</blockquote>
