To say that Gundren Rockseeker was excited is an understatement.

As soon as you step into the tavern, he hits you on the back, greets you like an old friend and sends you to the rest of the party with a beer in hand. You find it a little hard to get any words in edgewise when he's over the moon and spinning tall tales of adventures past, but despite being more than a little drunk, he's surprisingly quiet about what exactly he was happy about.

Finally, about three hours and table full of beers in, he stands on a table and announces just what you are all gathered for.

"Aye! *hic* See, me and me buddy here, Sildar Hall- *hic* Hallwinter, we have gotta be goin'. We've got important business! But me wagon ain't ready, and it's still bein' f- *hic* filled up. The durned thing's leavin' tomorrow at noon. I'll p-p-pay you 10 gold pieces for escortin' it to Phandalin. Help me bring it to *hic* err...Barthen's Provisions. Owner's a nice fellow. When me and me brothers got it all s-sorted out, we'll let you see the big surprise for yeself!"

As Sildar gently lets Gundren out the door, he pays you one more favor and buys an entire keg of ale, ordering all of you to finish off and "not waste perfectly good dwarven brew".

The next day, you leave Neverwinter's gate with your new companions and the wagon, a cart almost filled to the brim with food and mining supplies. You finally travel along the high road, heading south towards Phandalin, with hints of the sea to the west and Neverwinter Wood to the east.

And so it begins. Please state who's driving the wagon (up to two people), who's sitting in the wagon, who's walking besides or behind, etc. :smallsmile:

I hate the city Taris thinks to himself and jump just a bit as Gundren slaps his back. He pulls his Cloak a bit tighter around him and his hood lower trying not to rip holes in this one. Letting his Eyes adjust to the dimness of the Tavern he turns to Gundren “Already at it huh….Must be something really good.”

Taris makes his way over to the Table indicated and finds a seat in the Darker corner, somewhere to be less seen if it’s possible in this far too crowded place.
Waiting for any others to make their way in watching the crowd as it is.

After Gundrens request “And who is it at thisBarthens Provisions are we supposed to be meeting?”

I would likely be better riding in the wagon to avoid any unwanted attention.

During the evening Alden mostly sips at his ale keeping quiet. "Why not. I don't have much to right now. I'll take the job", Alden says between grunts.

Next day Alden is sitting in the wagon, nursing a small headache and smoking his pipe. "Should now better by now", he mutters.

He chuckles at Klemm's comment. "I've drank with him a couple of times. Decent enough fellow. I'm currently out of money, and he's paying well for something like this".

"Well th'elf's already scampered ahead I see. So wha' about you, blue boy?" <peers at Taris> "Ye seem a lil' more at ease now we're on the road. You lose a bet to Gundren to be stuck escortin' his vittles?"

Garrett
During the night Garrett introduces himself to Gundren saying that Avernus send him to help on his request, but he does get happy to hear that it is a paid job, he would've done this for free for his master, but some gold coins could not hurt. After that he keeps himself quiet just observing his new 'companions'. The halfling does not drink a single drop of ale, but he does eat a lot, twice as much as someone would expect a small guy like him to eat, at some point when most of the people on the table are drunk he nimbly grabs a small piece of cheese without no one noticing and gives it to Pip, a light brown and white small mice that during this whole time is on Garrett's pouch.

The next day Garrett jumps over the wagon keeping himself on top of it ready to jump and fight if needed. When the wagon is about to leave neverwinter Garrett thinks to himself "How long since I left neverwinter for a long trip? More than two years I think...how quickly times passes by." he gets sad for a moment, because despite all the city's problems this was his home.

During the travel Garrett try to talk to his companions answering the talkative dwarf questions "I'm here because my master - Avernus the leader monk of the Chauntea's monastery - asked me to help Gundren out. They used to be pals back when Avernus was not a monk already." Garrett makes a small pause and then finishes saying "Although, I do not mind being paid!"

Klemm the Bard

<Glancing at Taris> "Me guess would be 'Barthen' himself. Well, best get to it."

Klemm tosses his backpack in the back of the cart, stumps up to the driver's bench, and whips the oxen into motion. He spends the days with the reins tied loosely around one foot, while leaning back in the cart, plucking tunes on his lute, and gazing at the sky.

"So how do ye all know Gundren? Me, I'm feared I filled his head wi' too many tales of adventure when he come to see me perform at the Smitten Lass. Taggin' along to make sure he ain't servin' all his ale to elves."

"Serving one's ale to elves" is a dwarven expression for wasting your time and/or money on something foolish.

One can only hope it would be 'Barthen' However Many times I have found that the Name of the place is of a proprietor long since gone.

On the wagon:

I came upon him while he was hauling some of his wares. he was sitting on top of his wagon with a broken axel, swinging his axe at a bunch of kobolds while laughing. I think he had an ale in his hands at the time. I lent a hand and the next thing I know I'm running the next few caravans with him.

Taris leans back almost further into his cloak seemingly uncomfortable with others around. He turns his head to watching the road

You'll have to forgive me I have not know any Monks so I am unfamiliar with your ways. If you have the time and are willing I would be most intrigued to hear about what it is that you do at the monestary and the relation between Master and.....'Apprentice" From the depths of the hood you can tell that he is looking Garrett up and down, not sizing him up per say but more like taking a note of the Halfling.

The weather remains clear and sunny, and with the horses setting a strong but comfortable pace, you travel quickly. Two days of travelling down the High Road pass without incident. Veering east along Triboar Trail (a meandering path through a forest with dense thickets), you travel for another half a day. As you come around a bend, however, you spot two dead horses sprawled in front of you, blocking the path. Each has several black-feathered arrows sticking out of it.

More worryingly though, they look suspiciously like Gundren's and Sildar's horses.

He says to Taris, Klemm whoever is around.

"Well you could say I am from all over. I don't really stay in one place for very long." Taris Pulls back his hood to reveal a set of glistening black horns that ride his skull only to curl up just after his pointed ears. His shoulder length white hair is slicked back and stands stark against his dark blue skin, a pair of gleaming yellow eyes greet you from beneath the ridge of his horns. The stories of Demon pacts, and dark rituals that surround this race surges to the forefront of your mind. "for obvious reasons" He sits back a look of...Resignation?, contempt? on his face.

On the Trail:

Taris immediately tenses up and readies his cross bow. Scanning the Tree line around them as they come into view of the horrific sight before them. Thoughts of the old dwarf and his brother surges into his mind. Gundern had earned his trust and respect, if something had happened to him Taris will visit the myths of his people upon those responsible. His right hand begins to Crackle with a purple energy.

I am going to keep an eye out on the surrounding area at the site of the horses. I would like to ready action if that's allowed to cast Eldrich Bolt at any enemies that charge out into view

Taris hops down from the wagon, Tail swishing now outside of the Cloak, Cross bow now slung over his back but the Crackling energy still pulses in his right hand as it clenches into a fist. Cautiously he walks up towards the horses keeping an eye on the surrounding ground for any signs of tracks, drag marks, blood, other arrows. He doesn't want to disturb the area and rob any potential clues as to what had happened here.

He kneels down to the horses and examines the saddle and any (or lack there of) gear that accompanied them. He inspects the Wounds of the horses to see if anything other than an arrow took them down before turning his attention to the Leather case. He has a slight hesitation to touch case.

As Taris approaches the horses, a low guttural scream fills the area. A second or two later, five goblins burst from the trees, surprising the party! The two in front and the three behind draw their weapons and attack!

Since you don't know the goblin's names, and I'm not going to call them "goblin 1" and "goblin 2", I'll nickname them based on their physical traits, or what you can see.

Eyepatch and Wart-Face are in front of the party, beyond the dead horses. Lost-A-Shoe, Kleptomaniac and Swears-A-Lot are at the back of the party.

People at the front of the wagon (Taris and Roland, Alden): Eyepatch and Wart-Face are 10 feet from you. The other goblins are 30 feet behind you.

People sitting in the wagon (Garret, Klemm): The goblins in front are 20 feet from you. The goblins behind you are also 20 feet from you.

People at the back of the wagon (None): Lost-A-Shoe, Kleptomaniac and Swears-A-Lot are 10 feet from you. The other goblins are way in front, 30 feet from you.

Rolen and Klemm immediately abandons the wagon, opting to flee into the woods on either side of the road. Eyepatch screams something in Goblin, and two goblins go after Garret, while the last one goes after Klemm. Eyepatch himself darts into the woods, chasing after Rolen

"Careful, more of these pests could be about. Everyone keep your eyes out they got the drop on us once and I don't want to get caught off guard again. Klemm take a look at that leather case I wasn't able to get to it before the attack."
Taris starts to grab the dead bodies and haul them off the road and out of the wagons way putting them into one area for easier searching. The grizzly task doesn't seem to phase the Tiefling as he throws anything of use off to one side. His breathe seems to be coming in staggered gasps and a large amount of blood pools at his feet while he does so. After the bodies are thoroughly searched for items of use and possibly the black shafted arrows Taris sits down by the wagon clearly out of breath. "I suggest we take a moment to collect our selves"

As you examine the case, you realize it's a pouch to hold maps. And it's open and empty. As the adventures take a rest and examine the nearby area, they notice that there is a hidden trail leading to the north, near the body of the goblin that Garret punched to death.

If you succeed on a DC10 Survival Check
It looks like half a dozen goblins have come and gone along this trail, as well as signs of two human-sized bodies being hauled away from the ambush site.

For Taris
A quick search of one of the goblins reveals a small pouch which contains three potions. The three potions used to have labels, but the labels have fallen off the bottles onto the bottom of the bag. One label says "Healing", one says "Poison", and one doesn't say anything.

"I were jus' scratched, but if ye all want a breather, I don't see no reason not to set here fer a bit, after we finish tryin' ta figure out what went on here. If they've got Gundren, I'm rarin' ta go make em pay fer it."

Hmm, despite what he says, I am going to go ahead and roll his short-rest hit die.

Taris attepts to catch the tossed case, in his current state however if tumbles out of his hand to land a few feet away. A look of frustration and grief flash across his face as he staggers over to pick it up and cracks it open.
"while I agree with you about making things pay we also have to keep in mind that we have this wagon full of goods that can't just be left here for the taking while we look for Gundren. We are not far from where we needed to deliver it and we may be able to get some other information about whats going on in these woods, possibly supplies"

Are they different colors or identical? Here's an investigation check to see what I can determine - do they have different smells, constistencies? Investigation: 1d20 Also, RAW, you can identify a potion by taking a simple taste of it, without taking enough for it to affect you - I'm fine if you're houseruling that away, but then I'll need some more input before I just randomly drink one of these. :P

As you examine the case, you realize it's a pouch to hold maps. And it's open and empty. As the adventures take a rest and examine the nearby area, they notice that there is a hidden trail leading to the north, near the body of the goblin that Garret punched to death.

If you succeed on a DC10 Survival Check
It looks like half a dozen goblins have come and gone along this trail, as well as signs of two human-sized bodies being hauled away from the ambush site.

Rolen leads the way, keeping a careful eye out as they follow the trail. About ten minutes in, he spots a tied rope hidden on the ground. A snare, designed to trap people or animals. Guiding the rest of the party safely around the trap, he almost steps right into another trap...but his keen eye notices the the camouflaged pit trap for what it was.

The adventurers, now wary of further traps, travel the rest of the way without incident.

The trail ends at a large cave in the hillside, where a shallow stream flows out of the cave mouth, which is screened by thickets. A narrow dry path leads into the cave on the right-hand side of the stream.

Klemm quietly wades through the river, quickly making it over to the thickets. Through the foliage, he can make out some sort of clearing on the other side - two goblins were lounging around on wooden planks that were used to flatten the briars. Although they were armed and ready for a moment's action, they weren't really concentrating, preferring to chat with each other and make the occasional rude gesture.

Before Klemm could report this to the party however, there was a loud splash behind him. Turning around, he spots Rolen face-first in the river, making a racket as he manages to pull himself from the waters.

Both goblins immediately rush forward. They didn't spot Klemm at all, and charged towards Rolen and the rest of the party.

There is a also a nearer passage leading to the east, filled with the stench of animals. As Klemm and Rolen try to investigate, Klemm trips over a rock, tumbling straight into the river. Immediately, savage snarls and the sounds of rattling chains greet your ears from this east passage.

"Sildar are you alright, are there any other goblins up there with you?, Where's Gundren"

Trying to get a better grasp on the situation he looks around to take stock of who and or what is around them wondering about their chances....

Use telepathy to talk to Sildar. any information I get from him I will relay to the rest of the party via Telepathy.

Alden swears in dwarven as he gets up. At least nothing seemed broken "Yes, I'm alright too. Thanks for asking", he mutters as he gets up. "By the gods, I need to break something".

He starts making his way back, muttering a string of curses as he walks.

"Alright you sorry little rodents. Where's the dwarf? Give both of them back alive, and we'll leave you continue your miserable little lives in this damp little cave", Alden says with disgust and anger thick in his voice.

Taris (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=866695)

Taris turns to Alden and shrugs a little ”If I thought that a little tumble would have hurt you then I would have been concerned. Are you telling me that you are one of those ‘Delicate’ dwarfs that I have been hearing about?” A wry smile plastered on his face. ”I agree you about breaking something, right now about 7 little somethings to be specific”

Hearing that Alden has taken to the scare tactics road Taris releases some of his arcane energy to pool around his right hand, it’s eerie purplish glow and crackling trails of energy relay a hunger for those who have acted out against him. With his hood down, he glares at each Goblin that he can see as if taking a mental note of their location, his eyes flashing a wicked red color as he locks eyes with each in turn his tail swishing in turn with his glare. Finally his attention turns to the Goblin that thinks he has the upper hand in the matter, the one holding Sildar.

As Alden finishes speaking Taris steps up next to him, eyes flashing red. When he opens his mouth it seems a lot louder than normal. ”You, the one who holds my prey in their hands, you speak truce yet you attack us. My hunger for souls grows every minute and I see 7 morsels before me. Tell me why is it that I should not consume you! ’Sildar, just play along we are going to get you out of this’ Taris says to Sildar telepathically.

As he finishes speaking the Camp fire swirls and flares with purple and Red color. Sounds of Bats being agitated fill the room as thunder booms from somewhere deeper in the cave behind from where they came. From behind the goblins whispers can be heard, Feed us, hungry, devour them, no escape, doom seemingly from all around the little beasties.

Ok going for intimidate here to work on their nerves in conjunction with the path that Alden took.
Going to be using Cantrip Thurmaturgy for the effects that I described one of with being making my voice louder. Hoping that my races “stigma” are wide spread enough to help me in that.

The goblins glance at each other, slowly stepping away from you. The goblin on the upper ledge tightens his grip on Sildar and shields as much of its body as possible, using Sildar's bulk.

"T-Truce! Yeemik promise to let human go. But the one you want is the leader, yes? Yeemik isn't leader. Leader is bugbear, is he who tried to attack you. He is in other cave. He attack you, so you kill him, Yeemik gives you human and we lives, ok?"

” Your life is your’s for now, I will not take it. Release the human to me so that I may feed and tell us what you can of the Bugbear you fear. Do so now before my temper turns.”
Taris moves toward the goblin with contempt in his eyes and a snear on his mouth. The Arcane energy licks up his arm with each step.

Once I have Sildar in hand I will take him down the caves towards the exit if I can. Some of the Goblin bodies that were left at the entrance will serve as a good 'blood source' to cover me in while I "consume" him. Tell him to hide just outside of the cave and that we will be back for him.

Yeemik chuckles. "Bugbear knows, he flooded tunnel to wipe out noisy insects. Yee-"

"No! One more step and human dies!" Yeemik shouts as all the goblins ready their weapons as Taris approaches. With all the goblins between you and Sildar, you'll probably get attacked by all of them before you can make it to him. "Bugbear first, human later." it says stubbornly.

Now tell me about this Bugbear Yeemik before I loose my patience with you"

Taris looks to the others and then for an exit out of this cave, a possible path that the 'bugbear' could be. Knowing that they are nasty fellows at best, he wonders just what it is that he is getting into.

with a sudden flare the camp fire bursts back to it's normal color as Taris looks to each one of the stinky little buggers. His knife pulls from it's sheath rotating on it's axis as it points to each of them before stopping to point at Yeemik as Taris turns to leave. When he gets about 20 feet away the knife returns to it's sheath. the energy slowly dissipating back to just his finger tips.

As he moves away from the goblins he moves towards the direction of the bugbear. waiting on the others of the party to either talk or follow but ready to be done with this goblin either way.

Garrett come closer to Taris and Klemm whispering "Shouldn't we tie this goblin before we leave? You know how are goblins, they will stab you in the back as soon as you open your guard." If Taris and the others does not object, Garrett will tie the goblin using his rope.

TARIS (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=866695)

Turning his head slightly to Garrett "while I would agree with you about goblins, I don't think we have enough rope to tie them up right. We couldn't tie up just the one before all 6 would be on us. Bugbears are nasty beasties and I would rather be fresh in dealing with it. We can trust that they will be here when w get back since we are clearing out a hidey hole for them. This is their greed coming into play, they wont interfere with us so long as we are winning, and besides I don't trust them as far as I could reliably throw one of 'em I don't plan on dropping my guard"

Trying to not let the concern show on his face about this bugbear Taris feels the song that Klemm starts, it reminds him of better times when he was first out exploring the wilds, his first discovery that led to his understanding of what had called to him in that stary field so many years ago. He was chosen, and abandoned, at the same time yet he didn't understand that at the time. The fact that something wanted him instead of shunned him appealed to him then, as it does now. That Tune gives Taris a slight pause in his step as he glances at the bard wondering how he knew this tune and what it ment to the young warlock. He could feel the subtle undertones of arcane energy mixing with his own causing a mild reaction, not bad per say but just enough to be noticed....He would have to learn more about this stout dwarf if time allowed. For now though, his mind was set on the bugbear, a few pesty goblins, and a castle.....

Turning slightly towards Rolen, he reaches out with his mind once more, his alien presence brushing Rolens mind ’get into position, I’m going to head back and let the others know what the layout is and just what to expect. We can get the drop on this thing.’

That being done Taris heads back just to the point of being able to see the others (30') so he can reach out and inform them of the room ahead and the possible threats involved. Then heads back to get into position apart from Rolen so as not to get clumped together but to have a clear line of site on that bugbear.

Once Taris knows that the rest of the party are in place he is going to let loose with the ‘dissonant whispers’ calling upon the darkness to envelope his foe with taunts and whispers of his failures “target must make a wisdom saving throw (DC 13) on a failed save it takes [roll0] damage and must immediately use its reaction to move as far as it’s speed will allow.

Growling in pain as the arrow pierces his leg, Taris glares at the goblin. Knowing the Bugbear is a greater threat however he pulls the arcane to him, encompassing his hand as he brings it up to his face only to revel in the power. A look most sinister plays off the purplish glow that comes from his hand as he lowers his head and tilts it to the side. ”Klarg your soul shall feed the great beyond when I am done and those whom ever so chooses to follow you shall reap the same” His voice echoing off the cavern walls as his arm shoots out towards the bugbear. Energy zips through the air at the bugbear, the smell of burnt ozone fills the air.
With the energy shot at his enemies he looks for something to get behind, something that will offer him cover from the arrows that are quickly becoming his bane of existence.

Taris (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=866695)

With the bugbear dropping and the goblin and wolf no longer a worry Taris turns his head towards the 3 goblins that remain, hands raised in apparent surrender.

Reaching out to Garrett his mind briefly touches his, and once again he feels the Tieflings alien presence inside his head.’you wanted to tie something up…I think that these 3 meet the requirements. Plus if we don’t get our friend back I would like to have some sort of leverage….if we let them live at all’

Purple energy crackles at his hands as his eyes shift to a bright red. He walks over to the Bug Bear, with every step whispers can be heard gaining in tempo ’Feed…Consume….Devour….Eat the Flesh…More, we demand more….’ When he gets to the Bug Bear he reaches down and grabs a hold of the armor the thing is wearing, he glances at the remaining Goblins and lowers his head drawing in the purplish energy that was remaining on the thing into his mouth. With the last of the remaining energy drawn back into him Taris snaps his head up to the Goblins, a devious grin on his face as he wipes the his mouth with the back of his hand. From somewhere in the cavern a crow can be hear cawing in the broken silence.

”Please, by all means, fight back…I’m still hungry”

While he is over ‘Klarg’ Taris searches his body for anything of use. Once done with that he will move over to investigate the crates seeing what can be salvages and what goods they actually are, upon seeing the Blue Lion emblem his mind races wondering who owns that emblem.

Looking over the Chest Taris’ hands move lightly over the coins and odd boots. He Glances over his shoulder at the others that helped him out in this mess with Gundren ’That old fool owes me for all this trouble he’s managed to get himself into this time.’ he thinks to himself.

”hey guys when you’re done with those filth come over here real quick” He calls out from the other side of some crates. He will work to separate the funds as best he can, setting the boots and Potions aside (120cp each and 22sp each.) As he waits for the others he starts to examine the boots as best he can trying to figure out why they are gleaming in the darkness.

After a short rest and once the goblins are tied up to his satisfaction and he ensures that there is nothing of use on the Bug Bear Taris will start marching back down the way that he came towards the other Goblins and Seldar. Dead goblin Trailing behind him in the dirt dragged by some unseen force, a gruesome trail of blood is all that remains of his passing. The angry purple energy is back covering his right hand hungry for more.

”YEEEEEEMIK……oh YEEEEEMIK……..I’m coming for my human now YEEEEEEMIK. He better be alive still if you expect to be….” He calls out to the other goblin as he stalks down the halls of the caves. His voice Echoing down them with startling clarity, Whispers of impending doom follow.

As you enter the cave again, you realized that all the goblins are at the bottom of the ledge, trying to stay as far from you, with weapons raised.

Yeemik stands on the top of the ledge, alone. You notice the conspicuous lack of a certain Sildar.

you that this would get taken care of and that I wanted my meal alive when I return, Did I not? I told you
that you would be the next if I did not get what I wanted yes?”

Gesturing behind him the dead goblin rises into the air before the others and Yeemik himself, Slowly
spinning on axis showing the multitude of cuts, bruises and burns that litter its body, Blood dripping
from it’s toes….**Splat****splat***splat*** before the body collapses to the
ground tumbling towards the group with a sickening thud and gruesome slide stopping at right before
the goblins Ground shaking before them…

Slowly Taris looks between the group of goblins and back to
Yeemik Eyes going black……’feed, consume, defile, corrupt, destroy,
…..CONSUME’ can be heard from various corners of the cave behind and around the
goblins.

Reaching out to each of the goblins he lets his displeasure ring through the thoughts of all the goblins
’this is what happened to the last goblin that stood against me, I can tell you that he
died in a lot of pain….are you so sure to stand against us when we are the one’s who killed Klarg, his pet
wolf, and this foolish goblin? I have told you what would happen did I not? Are you doubting
me?’

Purple energy crackles at various points across his body. A crow can be heard in the
distance, ominous

Reaching out to each of the party members they can all feel his presence brush gently into their minds
’ I suggest you all get ready for this, get into some kind of positiion’
”I have a new proposition for you Yeemik, Turn and run…..Run far and don’t stop. If
you value this clan, if you want to be chieftain then lead them in life, not in the tortuous death that
would await you should you pursue this….I have recently fed, BUT that wont stop me from having more
it just means that I wont have to eat for a while.” grinning in the firelight, light glinting off his
sharpened teeth, as his tongue sweeps over his lips.

His dagger comes out of its sheath on its own floating in the air before him, pointing at Yeemik. He
brings up his hand cloaked in arcane energy to lend a more sinister purplish glint to his face only to have
the light swallowed by the black void that has become his eyes……

Use one point (or as many it takes to wake him up) from Lay of Hands to heal Sildar.

If Sildar wakes up, Alden says to him: "So, got captured by goblins. Hrm. Not a mark of distinction, one might say. Anyway, Gundren's still missing. Apparently they took him to some castle of theirs. Did you see anything else besides goblins before you were captured? We killed a bugbear that seemed to be the leader here".

A greatful look to Alder as he both try's to heal and help bear the load of Sildar. The weight was getting a little bit much for him with just Rolen helping, or should he say him helping Rolen...

Just trying to hold him up and focus on the area at hand was taking a larger toll than he thought it would.

Vesth

2016-08-04, 12:17 PM

Alden touches Sildar, and a brief gleam of light shines under Alden's hands. Sildar's eyes flutter open, and he groans. As you make your way back to the cart, he thanks you profusely for saving him, and apologizes for being unable to defend Gundren.

He helps you ready the cart, and before long, you're back on the road to Phandalin.

"I'll pay you 50 gold pieces, as thanks for all the help. Unfortunately, I'm kind of broke," he says, smiling grimly. "Getting robbed and kidnapped will do that to you. I'll secure a loan to pay you when we reach Phandalin."

"More importantly, I think you deserve to know what's going on. Gundren wanted to share this to you himself, but with the current situation, I think he'll forgive me. You see, Gundren and his two brothers, Tharden and Nundro discured an entrance to the Wave Echo Cave. It's a mine of great power that was used to make magical items...until orcs overrun the town. The location of the cave was lost until now. He wrote it on his map of his, but I'm pretty sure it got taken.

I've managed to hear that damn bugbear talking when I was slipping in and out of consciousness. Apparently, someone called "Black Spider" told the bugbear to bring Gundren to him. I'll like to meet that sneaky coward in person and punch his face in."

The rutted track emerges from a wooded hillside, and you catch your first glimpse of Phandalin. The town consists of forty or fifty simple log buildings, some built on old fieldstone foundations. More old ruins - crumbling stone walls covered in ivy and briers - surround the newer houses and shops, showing how this must have been a much larger town in the centuries past. Most of the newer buildings are set on the sides of the cart track, which widens into a muddy main street of sorts as it climbs towards a ruined manor house on a hillside at the east side of town.

As you approach, you see children playing on the town green and townsfolk tending to chores or running errands at shops. Many people look up as you approach, but all return to their business as you go by.

Sildar grins at the sight of the town. "Let us secure lodgings. I'm told the local inn is very quaint."

Taris listens to what Sildar has to say as he walks next to the cart that he rides. Hearing that the whole reason that Gundren wanted us together is to chase after a forgotten Cove Truly peeks his interest. As the group broaches the woodside and the town and ruins come into light Taris quickly raises his hood and tucks his hands a little deeper into his cloak, the tail that you have seen sweeping back and forth from under his cloak curls up to disappear underneath.

His attention seems to be split as you come into town. The Ruins seem to call to him, to pull him away from the group and yet the words that Sildar speaks bring him back to the group.

”Klemm I am sure that you would be able to get us room and board if your singing is anything like your fighting.” A slight edge has entered his otherwise confident voice. His demeanor has gone from smooth and flowing to stiff and almost jerky the more and more you get into town.

Vesth

2016-08-05, 12:21 AM

Slidar looks around. "I think all the shops are closed by now. Let's leave the cart outside the inn. This way."

Sildar guides you a large roadhouse in the centre of town, a new building of fieldstone and rough-hewn timbers. A sign hangs outside, with the image of a foaming mug of beer, and the words Stonehill Inn carved and inked underneath.

As you enter a relatively crowded common room, most of whom look like locals who are eyeing you with curiosity as you enter, Sildar heads straight for the innkeeper, a short man with a big chest and arm muscles, and look like he's been a miner or a blacksmith once.

After a bit of haggling, Sildar turns back and gives you a grin. "Don't worry about room and board, I've got that covered for tonight. Meet me at the Townsmaster's Hall tomorrow, and I'll have your reward for you. Good night fellas!"

After Sildar left, one of the men at a nearby table stood up and wobbled, clearly drunk. "Eh....*hic*, y-y-you're a baard, ain't ya? Dwarvish sing-singers, hehehe. Give us a happy tale, will ya? Got e-enough bad neews already, what with Thel dying and all." he said, pointing a finger at Klemm.

Seeing the relatively crowded room Taris feels a tightness in his chest, anxiety at so many people in one place with the possibility of panic. He scans the crowd and the layout of the room noting where the stairs/doors to the rooms are and looks for any windows.

While Klemm is busy setting up to go into his songs he will find an empty table, preferably away from the others in the common room so as not to raise alarm and take his seat. Pulling his hood a little closer to him, yet not enough to rip through it like he did the last one.

Reaching out he sends his thoughts to Alden. ”This red cloak issue, see if you can find out more about them. I can’t say that I like their actions or the way that they go about things.”

Taris looks about the tavern trying to keep abreast of the patrons and anything that might be happening around him. After he has he meal he gets up and heads outside for some air, the feeling of claustrophobia rising with so many people around him and too few exits.

Not that killing goblins was something that bothered Garrett, he had no problem with killing those little pesky monsters, but it still was something new that he had to absorb. Besides that the wolfs in the caves also bought his child memory back, and got himself thinking about that period of his life.

But when he got to town, and especially after hearing Klemm singing he started to feel his spirit comming back to him, he would order the biggest plate of food, he wanted something good to eat tonight, the monk food was so boring and everytime he had the chance to eat outside he would use it to eat something different. Garrett would call the waitress to the table and say "What is tonight special? I want a big plate of that plus a nice apple pie as dessert! Bring enough for all my companions here!" Garrett would pay the meal (if it was not already taken care by Sildar), he was on a generous mod tonight, he would dig into the food vigorously, especially the pie, that he would enjoy the most, he loved any sort of pie. If any of the food he just ate was particularly good, Garrett would ask for recipe of the food so he could recriate later.

After that he would say to Klemm or Taris or whoever is near him "Do you think we should interfere with this redcloak thingy? It is not that I don't want to, it is just that if we want to save Gundren time could be short. Unless it is a problem we can deal at same time..."

"The mines? Naw, the redcloaks don't dare touch Halia, and she owns the mines. Got connections, she has. It happened in broad daylight, right in this town. The townsmaster can't even lock them up."

"Business...is alright. There's no gold rush or anything, but there is some. Enough to get fed and get drunk, ha!"

"Here you go, luv." a barmaid says as she slides a big plate of some brownish, jelly-like substance along with another big plate of apple pie. Several smaller, empty plates slide in front of each member of the party who's seated. "It's called some fancy pansy name, but between you and me, I personally call it "cooked ooze". Enjoy!"

Alden leaves the drunken man be and sits down with Garrett and others. He nods to the waitress as she brings the good to the table. "Thank you dear. As long as it's warm and doesn't fight back, I'm fine with it".

He takes a long pull from his mug. "Depends on how many there are and what kind of group they are. Might be they're just a gang of hoodlums who just have weapons and mean looks. Most likely there aren't too many here who know how to wield a weapon". Alden takes another sip. "They might even be even be disgruntled ex-military. That would complicate things. If they're just a band of thugs, I don't think it would too hard to scare them away"

He takes a drink of the ale as he makes this conversation with the miners."so from the sounds of it you don't have a town watch or militia or anything like that huh sad to hear sound's like you could use one with all the things that I am hearing going on here tonight."

The night ends on a high note, with Klemm receiving sizable attention from all the patrons at the tavern. A few even toss coins his way, and others offer to buy free beer. With Taris unable to find further information beyond, that no one seems sure on where Cragmaw castle is exactly, the adventurers retire to their rooms for some well-deserved rest.

Come morning, you gather again at the dining room for breakfast, ready for another day's adventure.

Reminder:
Find Sildar at the Townmaster's Hall for your reward.

"Mornin'. I suggest we go meet Sildar right away, and then do some more asking around. Someone here in this town should know where that Cragmaw castle is, even if those drunks last night didn't. Folks at Townmaster's hall should be a bit more knowledgeable".

Having had a rough night sleeping with thoughts of Gundren racing through his mind Taris Looks up to greet Alden with a cup of warm something in front of him ”yes and morning to you Alden. There are several things that I think we should look at and I agree with you about getting to the town masters hall to meet with Sildar. There are things that I would know about that only he can answer for us.” pausing to take a sip from his steaming cup.

”Like what is it that was so important for us. These red Cloaks seem to be a real problem here too. While I agree that Gundren should be a top priority I can’t ignore what is happening here. I think we turn in the Wagon with their goods get that pay check, get to Sildar and get our answers” He shovels some of the food in front of him into his pulled hood. He hasn’t had it down the entirety of the time he has been in town.

The seat on the opposite side of him moves out as he waves his hand towards Alden who seems to be the only other person of the party that is down there right now. ”Klemm did a good job last night, a lot of the folks were rather happy about his singing. I didn’t know he had it in him.”

He settles into his chair with a sigh, "So what's our next step? We need ta get that cart delivered I suppose, an' see what else Sildar kin tell us.

"we were just talking about what to do next as a matter of fact. Thinking on it I would say we drop of the wagon at Barthens and then move on to the town masters place to meet sildar."

He takes a drink from his mug of steaming liquid and another bite of his breakfast.

After saying the proper good morning, Garrett come by the table with a big plate with diverse stuffs to eat, an omelet, some bacon, fruits, cheese, bread, it is not a lot of food, but it is substancial amout, but what amazes is the diversity, he seems to be enjoying eating and tasting the food. He says "Man this Omelet is amazing, I will try to recriate sometime later." he makes a mental note on the probable spices and others things about the omelet.

He then focus on the subject on discussion saying "Sounds like a good plan to me, we should keep moving at haste, we don't know if they are going to keep Gundren alive for much longer, if he is still alive. So every minute count."

On the way to Barthen's Provisions, you notice a nearby trading post bearing a sign shaped like a wooden shield with a blue lion painted on it - just like the symbol on the crates that you have found.

Entering Barthen's Provisions, you see a messy shop with items scattered everywhere, from backpakcs to bedrolls to ropes and even a small mountain of provisions. Behind an empty counter save for a bell stands a lean and balding man of about 50 years.

"Welcome to my stop, adventurers! What brings you here?"

It has been a long trip and while we were able to arrive here late last night it was not without it's misfortune."

Looking at the older gentleman behind the counter Taris gentle cranes his head to take in the sights of the store. Keeping an eye out for anything that might be of use.

"Ah yes, Barthen, that's me! Ander, Thistle, come help unload the wagons!" he calls out. Two young men rush out from the back of the store to take the goods from the wagon.

"Yes it seems that Gundren was taken to a place called Cragmaw Keep somewhere north of here. Have you ever heard of it?"

Taris comments after Klemm before turning his attention to the boys that are unloading the wagon. Making sure that nothing is taken out of hand or that if they need help they get it. While outside and watching the events of town happen around him he is going to eyeball the other store looking for people going in and out of it or for someone who might be an owner.

"Tell me Barthen what do you know about that Trade House over there? Who is it that actually owns it? He points to indicate the store with the Blue lions head mantle above the door.

"Oh!" Barthen sounded shocked. "I don't know where this Cragmaw Castle is, but Quelline might know someone who does. She lives at the farm at the southeastern part of town. Please rescue him if you can, he's a good friend."

"The building over there's the Lionsheld Coster. They sell weapons and armor."

"Barthen thank you very much for the information. If you need anything else from us let us know. Looks like we might be around for a bit while we figure out where this place is." With that said he will shake the Shop keeps hands and turn to the group.

"Guys we need to find this Farm and Quelline so that we can figure out where it is that Gundren might have been taken to. I don't think that he is going to be hurt to badly or even killed. If they wanted that we would have found his body in the caves. Right now however I do have to go over to that store and talk to the shop keep there. After that I plan on meeting up with Sildar. if you guys want to go ahead with out me you can." as he starts to head to the weapons trader.

Taris looks around hoping to find someone behind the counter. Once spotted I will head over and ask to speak to the owner about missing cargo.

Making your way over to the Lionshield Coster, you see a thin woman standing behind the counter. "Oh, good, you ain't trouble I hope. Got enough of that recently. Anything you want? Weapons? Armor? Maybe a new sword if you have too much blood on your previous one?"

After Rolen speaks Taris Bows slightly as the old woman addresses the group ”No ma’am can’t say that we are trouble. Well not to you at least, actually I came to inquire about your rather unique plaque. It seems that we have come across that symbol before in our journeys on a few crates south of town in a cave. I felt that I should at least tell you about it see if you have a town’s militia or guard, maybe someone that you trust to take care of the situation, maybe retrieve the boxes for you.”

He looks around the shop noting the condition of the place, the things for sale and try’s to get a good guage of the woman behind the counter.

"Here this might also help you retrieve your missing cargo." Taris hands the woman a map that he was working on last night with what notes he collected, paths, number of goblins, how many boxes, layout of the cave ect. "you mentioned that you had you would sell to us so long as we weren't trouble and that you have had enough of that around here lately? Seems to me that this is a quiet little outpost, haven't seen much in the way of trouble aside from our little run in with the goblins. Have they been raiding the town or something?" Careful to keep his hood covering his face Taris conveys his concern through his words as his features are covered. The lady seemed nice enough and he didn't want to change that. "Forgive me where are my manners, my names Taris, pleased to meet you." He holds out his hand to shake hers hoping to get some more information out of clerk.

ok so from my background I remember the lay of the land and I had said when I left the cave that I wanted to make a map of the whole thing for future use I figure that I could have done that last night. If this is not ok then just strike out what I had said here and I will just tell the woman what I know so that she can take notes.

Chuckling deeply at the thought of this woman running off a bunch of bandits with her own inventory Taris replies ”oh I can imagine that was a sight to see. Almost makes me wish that I could have been there for it. Truly though I am sorry that you have a problem such as this. Usually you don’t hear of bandits inside of a town but rather outside of it hitting you on the roads or camp…What about the towns militia or guard? Can’t they do anything about this what did you call it….Redcloak….Problem? or, forgive my saying, does the local mayor have no spine? ”

The thought that bandits have nestled up in the town with no one to stop them strikes a nerve deep with in Taris as his voice runs deep with a hiss at that last part of his comment. Light shades of purple start to form about his hand before he takes a visible effort to calm his nerves.

As Klemm speaks up asking about the Castle and possible whereabouts of Gundren he looks back to the woman ”Yes have you ever heard of such a place? What about how many of these redcloaks are there?

We should point out the goblin nest to him as well, though by the sound of it he won't be able to do much about it". Alden shrugs, and says to the shop keep. "You have my sympathies about your bandit problem. We don't have time to help you with that right now, we've got to focus on finding our employer. I'd suggest training your own folk with weapons in here. I bet you still outnumber them. Folk like that aren't usually too courageous".

As my friend here mentioned do you think you could tell us how to get to these two? It might help us in our search for our missing friend.” While Taris does understand where Alden is coming from, he just hates to see others being bullied while those with the ability to do something stand idle by.

Keeping a mental note of the ‘Sleeping giant tap house’ Taris moves about and hands each of his friends 10gp out from the bag that the lady so generously gave them. Shaking her hand one last time ”Right now I have to get to the town master myself with my friends, we are meeting someone there, maybe I’ll have words about what is going to be done with these ‘Red Cloak’.

You make your way over to the Townmaster's Hall, a building with sturdy stone walls, a pitched wooden roof, and a bell tower at the back. Posted on a board next to the front door is a notice written in Common. It reads:

Reward -- Orcs near Wyvern Tor! Those of a mind to face the orc menace should inquire within

The notice bears the town's seal and an indecipherable signature.

Opening the door, you see a fat man sitting at a desk, scribbling something on official looking documents.
