The party comes upon a wagon drawn by 1 black and 1 silver colored horse.

There is no driver that can be seen. The team ignores the party and continues
on it's way heading roughly east-northeast.

Verg, Torcan, and Emmett hop into the wagon. The find bundles covered in canvas.
Further rummaging around reveals barrels full of mysterious powders. Emmett
ruminates and investigates a bit and figures out they could be used for something
pyrotechnic related.

Emmett wants to hang out on the wagon to see where it is going but the rest of
the party wants to head northwest. Crestfallen, Emmett jumps off the wagon and
joins them.

About midafternoon the group happens upon a table in the heath. High
backed chairs surround it. Several people can be seen seated at it.

As they get closer they learn it is 4 nice dressed men and 1 lady in
a nice velvet dress eating away.

They beckon the party to join them. They do notice the brass bowls
filled with platinum, gems, and jewelry.

Verg first asks if they know of any mound with stones around it nearby.

"In the north of the Heath there are more hills but we don't know of
what you are looking for. Please join us", the lady replies.

"Sorry but we really need to be going."

"We insist you join us for dinner", she says as they all leap from the
table and transform into humanoid wolves.

Conan is able to act first and drop a fireball centered on the table. This
kills 3 of them outright. Verg startsa volley of magic ice darts but trips
and falls before he gets more than a couple thrown. Arsalion takes a stop around
Emmett and blasts the lady wolf with a lightning bolt, killing her.

Arsalion shoots and misses the final enemy.

The werewolf charges Kallisto but failes to claw or bite her.

It continues the attack as is able to claw Kallisto.


Kallisto replies with a killing blow.

There is nothing of value on the werewolves. Their transformation and the
fireball destroying the elegant clothes they were wearing.

The treasure on the table did not survive the blast of the Fireball.

The continue trekking north by northwest.

As they get ready to make camp they spot a canvas test that used to be
brightly colored. It is amidst a clump of stunted juniper trees.
A sardonic-looking mule is standing outside it.

Verg and Torcan approach it. They can the smoke from a fire burning inside.

"Hello there", says.

"Come in, come in and have Old Brigit tell you your fortune" and old voice
from inside the tent replies.

Verg goes in and has her read is fortune.

Old Brigit deals out her cards, looks them over, looks at Verg.

"Learn whom to fear and whom to trust, and you will have found wisdom."

"Uh, thanks."

"What about you, should I read your fortune?", she asks Torcan.

"Sure".

She gathers up her cards, deals them out. Smiles at them and then smiles
at Torcan, "Your shrewdness has made friends both fast and true. Very good, Very good"

Torcan makes room for others to come in. Conan, Verica, and Asulfr decide to have
their fortunes read.

She smiles at the cards dealt for Conan, "You too have found true and good friends"

Shuffling and dealing out the cards for Verica's fortune she looks at the cards
closely, then at Verica's face. Brigit leans over and stares into Verica's eyes.

"Yes, yes. I see. The path to true love never runs smooth for you, but your foot is upon it."

Verica isn't quite sure what to make of this. She wanted to know about Goat Boy.

She turns to Asulfr and his fortune.

She frowns and shakes her head as the cards come out, "Lucky at war, perhaps, but you will never be
lucky in love." She looks again at him and the cards. Shakes her head for a final time.

Vig asks for his fortune as well.

The cards are dealt. She looks at him and then Asulfr and back to the cards. "You too are lucky at war, but you will never be lucky in love."

"Go now, I am tired and need my rest," she says as she collects her cards and packs them away.

Camp is set up in the cave.

During the first watch a 32 foot long python slithers into the
cave but Verg and Vig are able to quickly kill it and turn
it into sausage for the morning's breakfast.

The next morning Torcan casts detect magic. No magic is
seen emanating from with the giant corpses. Only the necklace
that Verica claimed during the looting that happened the prior
day.

It is decided to keep travelling southest looking for the missing
ivory sculpture.

The day passes by without incident.

During Asulfr's and Emmett's watch they see a pale blue light in
the distance. It appears to be slowly floating away. Everyone
else is awakened and they follow it.

After an hour they happen upon a large tangle of web. They happen
to see a giant, purple spider. Torcan tries to speak with it but
it fades in the night, disappearing.

They notice many bones hanging in the webs. After several minutes it is
decided to head back to camp. Fortunately they don't get lost in the
night and make it back.

They keep trudging southeast.

Out of the noontime mists 3 tired looking and bloody men are
spotted.

The trio grips their weapons and intently watch the group.

Verg says hello and the men respond in kind.

They eventually share they were attacked by a mob of hyena-men. Actually
all crazed. They were able to fend them off.

It is then that the group notices that most of the blood is that of the men.

After asking them if they know Goatboy Verica offers them a wineskin which
they empty quickly.

Torcan offers another wineskin to the trio of fighters.

"By the way I'm Captain Achilles. This fellow here is Fergus, and
that more beat up dude is Liam."

The party exchanges pleasantries.

The three do not know of any ivory idol nor of anywhere they have travelled in
the Heath recently where one might be.

The groups part ways with the trio trudging off in the rough direction of Bogrest.

The party decides to head back where they came from, but go a little bit north
before bearing back to the northwest.

A few miles later they come upon a dark shape hunched over the corpse of a dead
red deer. When it notices folks it looks up and growls. Staring as they walk past.

As they warily walk past it they notice it is human looking but horribly stitched.

Emmett is keenly interested in the creation and convinces everyone to let him check
it out.

"Hey buddy", says Emmett. He is encouraged when it doesn't trip to rip him apart.

Eventually Emmett gets close enough to intently examine the creation and keep
pestering it with questions and observations.

The creature grunts and has a generally quizzical look.

Emmett suggests that it follow him. It does.

Verica calls the stitched together dude Patches.

This has the creature gruntly appreciatively and smile.

Stop for the night and pause session.

Run into the driverless wagon again in the morning.

It must have stopped shortly after seeing it at night.

Torcan casts Speak with Animals to talk with the madman.

"Are you hungry?"

"No"

"here's rock, drop it when you want to talk"

It looks at him

"Tap me if you want to talk"

"ok"

"Are we close?"

"Can you find your way through the fog?"

"No"

"Do you think we are on the right track?"

"Yes"

"We are going to stay put until the fog lifts"

"ok"

A sabre tooth tiger emerges from the fog and attacks Torcan. It rakes
him with all 4 claws and bites him as well. Torcan is barely able to survive
this and is able to back away as Conan drops a fireball on the tiger.

Kallisto steps into melee and strikes a blow.

Verg is able to finish it off with a volley of ice darts.

Everyone that can, casts healing on Torcan.

Torcan takes one of the large teeth from the tiger.

The rest of the day goes by.

At midnight another saber tooth tiger attacks.

The tiger runs up to Asulfr.

A blind Emmett fires wildly with his rifle and hits! The report wakes
everyone up.

The tiger attacks Asulfr catching him with a claw and a bite. He slashes back
with his scimitar.

Asulfr misses.

Verg throws ice darts and nearly hits Asulfr.

Vig heals Asulfr and Conan hurls Flaming Missiles.

In the morning the wagon is sighted again but ignored.

At noon the party surprises 6 dire wolves.

They are able to kill them with fireballs, swords, and
ice darts.

At the end of the day at dusk the come upon a small cabin with
smoke coming out of the chimney.

An elderly man in homespun clothes steps out and immediately
Patches starts screaming and charges him.

A fierce long melee ensues. The old guy taking an amazing amount
of punishment while he slices up Patches with his dagger.

Vig decides to step up and cast some healing on patches. As he does
he notices the sickly yellow-green fluid streaming from the old guy's
face, mostly his nose.

Patches lands 2 thunderous blows knocking the man to the ground. He then
starts to dissolve in a puddle of foul smelling greenish slime.

Patches is moaning and panting. His fists covered in the yellow green liquid
the old man was bleeding.

Emmett checks the door that killed Torcan, unlocks it, and opens it.
It opens into a laboratory. Shelves are filed with books, jars, and alchemical
equipment.

RETCON (2016-11-13): Emmett is blind so no doing visual thief things. Ruling that the door
is busted into.

There is a large stone vat in the middle of the room with a heavy stone lid.

It is decided to go through the door in the eastern wall.

There is a hallway leading to another door.

RETCON (2015-11-13 Emmett is blind so he wouldn't do this. Someone else did but
survived) Emmett walks to the door and falls through a trap door with it's cover closing.

It is decided to lash Verica with a rope and have her walk on it to trigger it.

No one blocks the cover open and it severs the rope and Verica falls and lands on 3
spikes.

A barrel is rolled over the trap door triggering it and Verica's halberd is used to
secure it open. Vig is lowered down and checks on Verica and Emmett.

Vig notices that Verica is bleeding a silvery liquid instead of blood. It looks like
quicksilver.

Emmett is helped out and Verica's body is recovered.

Talos reiterates that his robes and other belongings have to be somewhere. If they
are found he can recover his emergency spellbook and be of use to the party.

The areas explored so far are ransacked but nothing is found.

Conan and Verg each try to lift off the heavy, stone lid on the stone vat but fail.

Verg has the idea to use Hold Portal on the trap door. Conan suggests rolling several
barrels over it to make sure the trap is indeeded held. Also make sure they go to the
other side so they can be used to test to make sure the spell is still working on the trap
when they need to get back across.

RETCON (2016-11-13 Emmett is blind so Vig just busts door open) After getting across the
trap Emmett checks out the door at the far end of the hallway.
Emmett doesn't think there are any traps to the locked door at the end of the hallway.
He is unable to pick the lock. Vig busts the door open.

Beyond is a rather shabby sleeping area. There is a chest that Verge immediately walks
over to and opens.

He is pricked by a needle. Inside the chest are a pile of dirty rags, some bottles of
indeterminate liquid, and a wrinkled, triangular fragment of strange metal. It is about
a foot across and glowing with a soft, silvery radiance.

Verg grabs it.

RETCON (2016-11-13 Emmett is blind but there was someone that did roll well enough)
Several folks, including Emmett, search for secret doors in the room. Emmett is able to
readily find one in the south wall. Beyond is a room with a heavy, locked, iron strongbox.
Piled in heaps are Inger's and Talos' stuff.

RETCON (2016-11-13 Emmett blind so he couldn't do this, so he's "ok") Emmett doesn't think
there are any traps on the chest. While failing to open it he is pricked
by a dart which quickly gelatinizes his bones. He collapses into a wheezing, groaning, blubbery
pile.

It is decided to put Emmett in an empty barrel, leave the room, test the trap door before
crossing it, and going back into the room with the stone vat.

Emmett is poured out of the barrel. He makes an awful sound like he wasn't able to breath
until he was poured and stretched out.
