Descent Under the Temple of Elemental Evil

[Spanningtree]

Tavin - Monk

Tavin will nod his head in agreement to Morgan's recommendation.

[J.L. Duncan]

Pax: "To Safety then... errr... I take it that this place has no constable or sheriff?" If that is the case, then let us proceed and see these fine innocents off and when we arrive of the doors of this cursed establishment after we dispense with the trouble makers-I shall help myself to whatever is on tap."

[greyarea]

The party helps the survivors get clothes (there are extras in the tower) and the men-at-arms and sailor are equipped with used but serviceable chain mail and swords from the bandits' reserves.

The party spends the night in the tower, fed well by Fr Redmond's conjured feast. The road from the Temple leads back to Nulb, so the party walks through town and then back through the gnarly forest to the village of Hommlet. encounter [1d12] = 9 Nothing is encountered on the way, although boars are heard in the distance and you swear you smelled bugbears at one point.

it is growing dark as you get to the village. You can see the torchlight of the changing guard at Rufus and Burne's tower. The Inn of the Welcome Wench is hopping with business: you can hear the din as you approach. Entering the Inn, Ostler the Innkeeper greets you warmly and gets a table ready for your party.

Encounter complete!

For getting the prisoners to safety, 5XP to everyone.

Bonus +1 XP to Pax for deducing the prisoners' existence in the first place.

Tavin - Monk

Tavin nods at Ostler and waits for the party guests to seat themselves first.

[J.L. Duncan]

Pax, before taking a seat-will inquire if there is any Dwarven ale on tap. And if so purchase mug.

(Experience Points Added)

Whispering to the group: "Do any of you see this-Dick Rentsch or Dala?"

[badams30]

Thurwin - Wizard

Thurwin offers to put up the merchants for the night and tells them that we will accompany them to see Burne and Rufus tomorrow to speak with them about their ordeal, and for us to give them an update.
Thurwin will have a warm meal and some ale, mainly taking in the sights of the inn.

(Pax - Dick Rentsch is in Nulb at that inn)

Thurwin's main ambition tonight is to get his gear cleaned and clothing laundered and a nice warm bath, turning in early.

[merias]

Effric, Druid

Effric joins the others for a meal, treating Sly with a bowl of warm porridge and rising early the next morning to finish town business.

[kwll]

As usual, Calthas makes himself discreet during dinner and night, and is ready to go early the next morning.

[Spanningtree]

Tavin - Monk

Tavin will tuck into dinner and follow up with some meditations on their current conquest.

[GreyKatana]

Once everyone has had time to relax at the tavern, Father Redmond will take place at the center of the room where everyone can see him. He solemnly bow towards the guardsmen that requested that he conducts mass for them. He gets out from his bag a strange red-ish hat and puts it on his head.

He takes a pause waiting for silence in the room. Then, after clearing his throat for a second, yells out of his lungs:
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMBBBAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
