The group opens the barred door! And a sphinx is there. Answering the questions, everybody gets a healing potion, an Ioun’s Stone, and a Power Jewel. Mintros and Rolen sneak around the emptied hold looking for treasure. Rolen finds himself alone in a pantry room with Murklemor! Mintros arrives to assist, and Acadia and V’Lairex…

Lots of 20’s and 1’s this session.The party had to choose between opening a barred door with SOMETHING (singular, according to Rolen’s detection) behind it and heading east, and the party chose east. This led them straight to Macklemor, the slave owner (and healer, as it was discovered). After the party wasted countless moves with…

Still trekking through the Horned Hold after an extended rest, the party busts into a great hall. Mintros stealthed in and took down the first enemy, who happens to be a non-enemy: a slave. Oops! A big battle takes down the enemies, including Rundar, who left behind an iron key and some dwarven greaves. The…

After…

He said Terlen Darkseeker may be able to guide us to some…

The party rescued a halfling named Rendil Halfmoon from some hobgoblins known as the Bloodreavers. Rendil took the party back to the Seven-Pillared Hall, where his aunt Erra Halfmoon gave free room and board at the Halfmoon Inn as a reward. While V’Lairex slept off a hangover, the three other party members were given a…

The party went down the hole, Kalarel got away, and V’Lairex got a Lifedrinker +1 sword.

The three survivors met up with a level 5 fighter named V’Lairex, who joined the party. Everybody made it to Level 6! Everybody has a magic item!
