Wary of previous wolf encounters in the area, they proceeded along the road to Turnton with caution; not unwarranted, as it turned out, since they were set upon by a group of bandits led by a young woman. Aerikoth began hurling spells into the fray while the others fought off bandit swordsmen and archers. Then the front ranks of the party were hit by a fireball, Brok-Tul taking the brunt of the flames. After the defeat of the bandit mage and remaining fighters, the woman cried out "not again!" and ran for the dense forest underbrush, slipping away and tripping a deadfall just as Brok-Tul was catching up to her.Aerikoth identified her as Deedee, also known as Melissa, who had attempted an ambush on an adventuring group Aerikoth had previously accompanied to Turnton. (This woman is nothing if not persistent. --R). Rahnee recalled being told that she had been part of a bandit gang and a champion runner at one point. Brok healed himself with divine magic and the party tended to their wounds before continuing down the road. The presence of wolves in the area did eventually make itself felt, as the group was attacked by a pack in a wooded area north of Turnton. However, the adventurers defeated them in a quick battle, then hiked another hour to reach the outskirts of the town.At the town walls, which appeared to have been newly reinforced, Rahnee showed her baronial writ to the guard captain, who straightaway saluted and apologized for not recognizing her. Brok-Tul also showed his writ and the party was allowed to pass, although Marik received some looks from the guards. At Rahnee's insistence, they went directly to the manor house. There, they were received by the guard, who stated that the heroes of Glees were always welcome. Although it was late, Baron Pahar received the group and was introduced to Jokull and Marik. Pahar welcomed them, clearly pleased, and stated his appreciation for their escorting the magic items to Turnton. Commenting that the High Cleric Carlin should be present for the items' turnover, Pahar asked that they reconvene in the morning, when Carlin would be available. The baron directed them to the manor's guest quarters, where the tired adventurers turned in for the night.</blockquote>
