Only they hadn't noticed they were being followed all day by one of Ranos and Gremag's minions who promptly cleaned up the site when they left to involve the church.The site cleaned of the cairn, the dead spiders and no footprints to be found (they have no rogue, ranger or anyone capable of tracking).  Terjon yelled at them for wasting his time and trying to cause panic in town.  The High Elf wizard of the party yelled at him and accused him of being in on it because of this aside with Calmert back in the church.  The aside was Terjon telling Calmert not to speak of this to anyone until he's confirmed what's going on that he didn't want to spread undue fear in town.And that's where day 1 ended.  Discovery of something foul afoot and accosting the local Chief Canon of conspiracy.  This...should be an interesting campaign.</blockquote>
