Indeed, and not very far from here. 
Our First Game
Here are the spoiler details of our first game:
[SBLOCK]We spent a bunch of time building characters, and talking to Torrent. The characters didn't ask any of the questions in the adventure, and they were noticeably short on the required skills, so she gave them a few bones. Amazing for my group no one asked for cash for the mission.
They were quite paranoid about an attack, and once they heard noises the fleet-footed barbarians rushed upstairs and killed the rogues well before anyone entered from below. The team outside broke in just in time to meet the barbarians from upstairs, and then all heck broke loose with the exploding building and the fire and all.
But the battle was brutally short for the Black Horse. They were all standing in the wrong spots when the bomb hit, and the cleaving barbarians made short work of them. (The Thugs even had extra hit points because they were missing the human bonus feat and I gave them toughness like the rogues.)
Sauce the dog died charging a character who had readied an attack, and never did anything. Seeing as all the Black Horse thugs had the Animal Affinity feat, i threw in three more dogs: Chutney, Chipotle, and Salsa. They died to a burning hands from the lucky fire-domain wizard (+1 caster level for fire spells) who rolled max damage (8!).
I played up the burning building especially because the fire-domain wizard was going a bit nuts. The party fled the massacre to find Kathor who demanded a surrender. It was one versus six, and the party laughed. Kathor fled with only a few hit points, similar with his warhouse. If the party would have focused fire on one or the other, they could have taken him down.
He did manage to use true strike, his bow plus some good rolling to drop a pursuing barbarian, which cause the other barbarian to stop and save his friend.
Now they are off to see a certain gnome.[/SBLOCK]

In between brackets, like so, [ ], put "sblock" and "/sblock".

lol I hope it turns out well. That was originally an in-joke in a campaign I ran. The PCs figured they had killed more people than most actual mass murderers, so even if they had been killing bad guys, the term 'adventurer' just wasn't accurate. Hence the armbands.
