Noticing the oddness of the town, Varis asks their escort about it.

"Is there some sort of holiday or something going on? Why are all the shops closed?"


The escort gets nervous at the question. My lord I do not know
At that time the a cart carring logs blocks the group forward and then there is another cart that appears behind you.
Players note
The cargo was loaded on two carts, carried by oxen. Each cart has driver and a co-driver if you will. The drivers are guiding the oxen down the street. The Co-Driver is armed with a heavy crossbow and servers to help the driver. There are a total of 12 crates with cargo for which you hired for. Each cart has 6 crates in it. I need to know who is riding with whom. BTW side note if you have the players Hand Book and want to change races to say such as drow or dragonborn I am ok with that. I will even say if you want to play eladrin or assimar that is ok.


Female Wood Elf Cleric / 3

I was riding with Varis, i am good with my character

Lynore looks around in surprise. "What is going on here?"

He then looks at the device, and throws it down. "This thing is useless". "It shoots straight, but I might as well be shooting wet noodles for all the damage it does".

He then heads for the one under the wagon, drawing his weapon as he goes.


Not happy with the results of his last spell, Varis conjures 3 darts of energy and sends them at one of the kobold archers.

I'll take the critical, but I only rolled a 16. The 20 came after my pluses, so it's not really a critical.


"Well lets get things back in order and move these crates to the king. It is obvious someone does not want them to reach their destination! Can anyone drive one of these things?"

Are any of the drivers still alive/around?[/ooc]


Female Wood Elf Cleric / 3

"Is everyone ok? Who would want this shipment? We should get moving quickly before they regroup!"


A quick search may revile answers. DC 10.
A group of folks come down the street. They appear to be uniforms. A tall human comes forward.
What devialry is going on here? He asks Lynore and Varis.


"I hope to the eldar gods you are the kingsmen! We were set upon by these scaley little monsters while trying to carry out the kings business. Could you please escort us to the palace where we may deliver these crates to your liege!"


Female Wood Elf Cleric / 3

Lynore quickly refiles through the bandits things right before the humans arrive.

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7


Lynore finds a medallion of unknown markings. The Leader of Band of Soldiers says to Varis What King's buinsess ?


"We were tasked to deliver these crates to the King. Can we please continue on before someone or thing tries to attack us again!"

Do we have some sort of paperwork or order that shows we are making this delivery to the king? If so, I will show it to the guardsman.


Yes you do..from wayback lol I will post more tomorrow!


As Varis starts to reach into robes to get the papers. A shop keeper runs out[
Help their are two more bandits getting away! At this point two guards run to the shop. Varis hands the paper to the guard. The Captain takes the paper and reads it.
I am sorry for the treatment, I am High Captain Mordan. I serve his lordship Lord Cauldyth. If you all will come with me, I will escort you to the Lord Cauldyth.
The remain Soldiers mount up on the carts and others move the other carst and the bodies of the bandit. At that point the Soldiers that left come back.
We found this Sir and it appears the other bandits where priests.
The Soldier hands Mordan a disk of the Cult of Bane.
The Lord Cauldyth will want see this. If we have everyone we will proceed to Aithe Keep and your delivery will be complete.

Kolfax are you still with us?


Male Wood Elf Ranger 1, AC 15, HP 13/13

Still here. Kolfax is not much of a talker around authority. More of a rough and tumble brawler type of guy.


Varis sighs with relief as the guards surround them and take them to the Keep.
"Have you been having much trouble with the Baneites?"


Female Wood Elf Cleric / 3

Lynore grumbles about the dark god.


Male Wood Elf Ranger 1, AC 15, HP 13/13

Kolfax finally relaxes a bit with the escort in place.

He mumbles along to one of the guards. "So you guys seem on high alert. Seeing a lot of action"?


As the group walks one the guards mumbles to Kolfax.
Yes the Cult of Bane is causing trouble. We could use some help.
As you approach the keep you met by a short man who is bald and he says Ah yes the swords I believe we owe you nothing He says to Varis.
We will take delivery for his Lord and the man attempts to swindle you.


Female Wood Elf Cleric / 3

"Guards, is this man part of the kings staff? Or he is he some conman looking to curry favor?"


"I have here a letter from Tristan Kendrick, High King of the Ffolk, and it is to him, and him alone that we will release this cargo, as he has stated in this missive!"

Varis stands defiantly before the tarred boxes awaiting the man's response.


Let me see that script. The guard says. After reviewing it. He says We need to see Lord Cauldyth immediatly. The group conintues on its way.


Male Wood Elf Ranger 1, AC 15, HP 13/13

Kolfax mumbles to the friendly guard. "So who is that a-hole"?


The guard next to Kolfax says That is Turrin, he is the Lord's book keeper. He tried to line his pockets when he can. It seems your friend has taken care of him.
Turrin looks to the Captain of the Guard and say Well..
Captain of the Guard looks and say Yes the script promises them money for deliverce of the goods so we need to pay. Unless you want Lord Cauldyth to explain to the King Tristian why his swords are not here. We owe each man 1030 gold pieces for their delivery. I suggest you pay them before we see the Lord.
Turrin says Well I dont carry 3090 worth of gold on me. Take them to see Lord Cauldyth and will give them money there.
The Captain says You had better or the Good King will hear about this.
The group continues to make their way to the Keep. As you enter the main hall you see. Lord Cauldyth drinking.
Lord Cauldyth is a stout, musta- chioed, once mighty man of about fifty winters, whose brawn is going to fat. He wears a rich tunic, and bears a long sword scabbarded at his hip. He wordlessly scoops up heavily chased metal flagons from a side table, pours them full from a spar- kling row of crystal decanters, and offers one to each of you a drink, taking the last for himself.
My lord these are the men. The Captain says Cauldyth waves his hand and says I know who they are. My apologizes for Turrin he will be here shortly with the money we owe you. Please tell me of yourselves and your adventure to get here! He raises a glass to each of you.


Varis tells of the voyage and the attack by pirates and the wizard.

"It seems that your king has many enemies. May I ask, what are all the weapons for? Is he planning a war?"


Lord Cauldyth responds to Varis by saying
"There are priests, evil men, working hereabouts—even in Aithe, Goddess take them; they keep in hiding in the Wild Wood, where my men cannot meet them blade to mace and force them to stand and fight! These serpents serve the Dark God, Bane, and they're gathering enough strength to challenge all who rule these lands, even as the Northmen did, and take our lands one by one, over the years. All over Gwyn- neth and Alaron and, I've heard, even in the kingdoms of the Northmen, these foul priests are rising.

"It started with brigands, brigands who were organized and well- in- formed, and backed by these priests who fed them, hid them, and healed them when we came hunting.

"Then came the beasts, wild crea- tures the like of which we've never seen nor fought since the times of our grand- sires. We'd scarce hunted down the worst of those when undead rose to the attack—even our friends who'd fallen fighting the monsters only nights be- fore! So many of these gruesome 'grave- sends' still walk that the land itself seems to crawl and shiver some night came next. We heard of druids slain and their groves despoiled, local lords and farmers twisted or slain by fell magic, and more undead rising from it all to dance the tune of these new lords of the land, these skulkers in the dark, black-robed priests who proudly call themselves The Risen Cult, harrying the hard-working farm folk and busy merchant alike with....

He pauses for moment to gage the response from the group.


Male Wood Elf Ranger 1, AC 15, HP 13/13

Kolfax's eyes spark with anger, and he mumbles something angrily under his breath.

"So we have brought you these swords, so that you can outfit your army to fight these enemy groups"?


Yes and thank you for you help. Lord Cauldyth says to Kolfax.


"Well it looks like you could use more help than just delivery agents. Is there anything we could do to help with this problem. I would like to help against these Banites, as I am sure they are causing trouble for my cousins, the Llewyrr elves, as well as to the innocent people of your kingdom."


Female Wood Elf Cleric / 3

Lynore also offers her assistance.


"The Goddess of old had horns and teeth and even disease to fight for her, to keep the balance. This 'Lady Chauntea,' who is our goddess now, is gentler. She needs adventurers to fight for her, even more than the Earth Mother needed those led by Tris- tan, now our High King. I need you; Aithe needs you; all the Moonshaes need you. Will you stand with us?" He smiles at Vairs and Lynore.
"I cannot promise victory, or even survival—but one way or t'other, bards will sing of you." Caulyth says to the group.
At that time Turrim shows up and brings several bags. I have your blood money He says to the group.
Lord Caud stands and yells How dare you! These hereos are here to help us and you insult them dog. You are herby dismissed from his majesty's service.
Turrim looks and says You will regret that Lord. Two guards move up to escort him before he can do say antyhing else.
Turrim looks at Varis as he is escorted out.
Each bag contains the gold promised.
1030 gp for each of you. you all gain level for the fighting you have done up till now. You may each buy one more magic item. You may buy one uncommon magic item. I will reveiw it and approve it. I am trying to keep to the module as much I can and it is filled Magic Items etc.
BTW the Year in the Realms is 1356 before the Time of Troubles


Male Wood Elf Ranger 1, AC 15, HP 13/13

Kolfax considers his predicament for the moment, and decides that fighting for one cause is just as profitable as fighting for another.

"I too shall join your crusade. Your pay and your reward show you to be a man worth fighting for... a man of honor".

I'll get leveled up before the weekend is over.


Lord Caud says Well will Feast in your Honor at this point. There is feast thrown in you honor and your deeds are sung by some Bards. At this point your are welcome to stay the night in the Keep or go into Aithe. There is a Inn that charges only 3SP a night. Let me know what you want to do.


Varis enjoys his time at the Keep and decides to stay the night there. While mingling, he asks after his cousins, the Llewyrr elves.


Female Wood Elf Cleric / 3

Lynore also stays at the keep, but tries and stays close to Varis for safety reasons.


Male Wood Elf Ranger 1, AC 15, HP 13/13

Though he likes his companions well enough, Kolfax is a bit relieved to be able to spend the evening drinking, and joking with the soldiers in the keep.
