Sack of Itching Powder
Masterwork Heavy Crossbow
20 bolts

The party finishes up their Q'n'A with Shovaan, Gallus, and Darrel. They find out that Vegazi actually has a long history with the Arwyll family. In which she rescued Adil Arwyll, who is Wake's father 20 years ago. And he was so appreciative he gave her his signet ring. She gives the ring to Darrel and he is very appreciative since this will go a long way in helping to restore some semblance of commerce with Arwyll Stead and neighboring villages.

Darrel offers the party free room and board at The Blissful Badger. In which they all get their own rooms. Charron of course takes the larger of the rooms. While Vegazi being humble takes the room without a cot.

In the middle of the night, Davakus is attacked by a couple of red little fuckers (Imps). They stab at him with nasty poking claws and reduce his dexterity by 3. Finally the party kills the imps, but then they hear a bunch of commotion downstairs.

They race downstairs to find more bad creatures wreaking havoc on the Inn and Tavern. Alex helps save Vegazi from being overwhelmed from oozing demons. (Lemures) Alex also helps kill them as well as put out a fire in the kitchen.  He is the savior of The Blessful Badger!

The party explores downstairs and kill two more Mr. Gooy's that have made the entire place a smelly pile of shit. Literally smells like sulfur crap...

The party then goes outside since they hear a lot of fighting taking place outside. The mayor rushes up and politely asks if the party will investigate the catacombs. He suspects that the leader of the raiding party has gone there and his town guards are busy saving the lives of the people that live in the Stead.

So now the party is going to go investigate who went down there and see what this is all about. What will they find out?

Wacked on the head and now in the middle of combat?

_______________________________________________

The party is knocked out by slavers. Fortunately Alex and Charron wake up and are able to subdue one of their kidnappers. Then they are re-knocked out.

Finally they wake up with the slaver cart on its side. They can hear combat off in the distance. They get out and see the last few survivors of a great battle. They see a lone half-orc woman struggling to keep two medium sized flying demons at bay. But as soon as the party walks around the side of the cart and take in the scene, the two last demons switch targets to kill the party.

Finally, the party is able to retrieve some weapons that are scattered around the cart and defeat the two winged creatures. The half-orc approaches the group after they are done with combat and thanks them for their assistance. She introduces herself as Vegazi, but says little else about herself.

They escort her and the body of Wake Arwyll back to Arwyll Stead. Which hundreds of people morn the death of the last member of the Arwyll family. Out of the crowd that forms around the body comes Darryl Proum. Who introduces himself as the towns Mayor. He directs some priests to take the party to The Temple of Iomedae to get cleaned up.

Holy Symbol of Iomedae that the party see's throughout the town.

After becoming cleaner then they have been in a long time. They are escorted to Darrel Proum's estate. They come inside and see the body of Wake Arwyll being setup for morning. The party is then introduced to Shovaan and Gallus, a couple of leaders of the town.

From The Frying Pan Into The Fire

The party has managed to kill a ton of goblins that were guarding the outside of Thistletop. But as they were starting to prepare to enter the rotting building that is on the island, Gogmurt sneaks up from behind. He is not happy they killed his companion, Tangletooth. His cat that he has spent all his life with.

Gogmurt

Gogmurt casts entangle and manages to entwine a number of the players. Then turns into a Stirge and fly's up to one of the towers. After having a little skirmish with Davakus, he decides to recover and attack again later.
Harkrug opens the front door, and see a large batch of goblins waiting for him! Fortunately they take them out in a short amount of time. But right after they do, they hear drum beats and chanting from deeper within the rotting buildings.
They decide to go ahead and investigate the chanting, only to find out it is another goblin War Chieftain Ripnugger! Who immediately attacks the party. This time Charron and Harkrug go unconscious from the onslaught of devistation. But fortunately Shalelu Andosana is with them and helps defeat the foes. With the help of Ruak and Davakus sneaking up from behind the goblin warlord.

Ripnugget

Now the party is recovering from their wounds. They see that there are a couple of stairs leading further down into the depths below Thistletop. Will the party decide to keep going? Or will they head back to Sandpoint to gather more resources and men?

Getting to Thistletop

The party meets Usulea, who escorts them to Thistletop. They get to the area of Thistletop without any confrontations. Then they have a tough time finding the entrance. Once the entrance is found they encounter a number of goblins and goblin dogs. Finally they meet a Cougar that gives Charron some nasty cuts.

Once past those creatures they find the wobbly small bridge to Thistletop. They cross the bridge one by one. Once they get to the other side a number of Goblins attack, which they are able to subdue without much effort.

Now the party is at Thistletop, which appears to be a heaven of bad guys and mean people. They are now waiting for more mean folks to come out and greet. them...

The Party Heads North

The party sees the evil bat lady disappear and they start to explore the room for any additional things of value. As they do so she asks Harkrug a question, why did you come here? He anwsers her truthfully without his desire to do so.

As this is done she re-materializes in front of the party. In which they dispose of her quickly. She attempts to disappear again, but Harkrug spots her attempting to flee and throws a dagger at her.

Once she is disposed the party continues to explore the dungeon. They find a couple more Sinspawn. And then they find a mutated Goblin that has 3 weapons in his 3 hands. A wizard casts fear on him and he falls into one of the pits meant for the party to fall into! The zombie attacks him and he dies in the pit.

The party continues to explore the dungeon and finally find a large round room with items floating in it. Very weird room due the weird walls that seem to pulsate with their own powers. They find a book with lots of Lamastu writings in it, etc.

Now the party must decide to continue on to Thistletop or not. That is where Tsuto had intended to escape to.

Exploration of caverns

So the party meets Ruark! Who is another scholarly half-orc from Riddleport. He appears to be someone who can take care of himself. If you know what I mean!

The party decides to continue to explore the caverns below the Glassworks that appear to have some relationship with the Goblin invasions and Tsuto's obsession with a hottie. Given the drawings definitely a hottie!

So they go back down and meet up with what is recalled to be a Sinspawn. A huge evil looking thing with a very large mouth!

Then they discover a large cathedral like room with a nasty bitch that has wings and fly's around casting spells at them. They finally take her out and shut her up.

What will the party do now? They have defiantly found some serious stuff here, right below Sandpoint! Will they continue to explore and find more loot? Will they go back and give the bad news to the people of Sandpoint? If they go to the bathroom into the orange lava pool, will it just disappear? Or turn into some noxious smoke that will kill them all!

She did not like invaders of her cathedral!

The Glassworks

The group is investigating a note that they were given by one of the employees of The Rusty Dragon that asked Ameiko to come to the Glassworks. It was signed by her brother Tsuto (Suto).

As the party walks around the Glassworks they have a group of groupies that have followed them. Harkrug tells them to stand back and be careful. Something seems odd since all of the windows have been closed up with boards and curtains.

Davakus breaks open a back door and they all sneak inside. Once they enter the main hall of the glassworks they see 8 Goblins and Tsuto. The Goblins are doing weird things to human corpses and they also see Tsuto's father strung up and dead.

The party makes short work of the goblins and successfully knock out Tsuto. Charron welded his greatsword like a battering ram, making a few Goblins splatter like melons. Once he is revived they successfully intimidate him into telling him what he knows.

Then they go down into the underground tunnels below the Glassworks and find Ameiko tied up in a storage room. They bring her out and show her father's body to her. She is stoic about it.
