I’ve not played it or read it in 7-8 years, but Red Hand of Doom is an amazing adventure! That will be a great experience for you!

I wish I could add something but I have no idea.
”Um well, I can think of a few things. First, we’d like to pass through this territory without a fight. Second, we’d like to free those humans you’ve got over there in that cage. They don’t look very yummy, all starving and stringy. No real meat on them, unlike all the chunky hobgoblins we just killed. If you like to feast on carrion, that would be a fine deal for you, I think. Let us take their gear and you can have to rest to do with, well whatever, you all would do.” Diplomacy
Wren waves at the harpies, both letting them know that she was aware of their presence and not a current threat to them. ”Hey there. It’d be nice if you wouldn’t try to eat us. We don’t want to fight you,” she calls out, not sure if they’d try to communicate or not.
Wren points out the harpies to the group. ”Be aware! Over to the east are several harpies! They don’t seem too aggressive right now, but, you know, they are harpies!”
Wren watches as her griffon decimates the owls and her confused troops weren’t participating in the ruckus for the time being. With the rest of her group engaged, she watches for any reinforcements that might be on the way. Perception
Wren moves ahead, hoping to take care of some of the rank and file soldiers emerging from the tents. She casts Confusion, hoping to turn a few of them against each other, and becoming visible as she does.
Wren casts Invisibility on herself then moves forward toward the newly joined battle.
Wren will be activating her griffon figure of wondrous power and sending it to engage the owl, if possible. The griffon is much faster, so hoping it can be caught fairly quickly. Wren will be following at range, hoping to pick off some baddies as they figure out they are under attack.
I’m here. Just waiting on the stealth melee squad to get going.
Wren plans on staying well back until the invisible melee crew begins wreaking havoc. During the delay, she will cast mage armor, and then snaps her fingers. She pulls out the figurine of the bronze griffon she had found so many weeks ago and sets it on the ground. She speaks the command word and it grows in size. Wren then coos to the beast and asks for its help in slaying the awful hobgoblins as well. The griffon takes to air, once she hears the battle was engaged.
Wren will cast Guardian of faith on Pila then, rather than Caspan.
Once the group is ready, wren casts Invisibility on Grenwold, Ringo and Caspan. She will cast Guardian of Faith on the three and haste as the group is ready to begin.
”If anyone has a clever plan, remember that I can make a few people invisible, if they’d like to go scout ahead, or try to quietly take out the towers. Combine that with my haste spell and a couple of us could try to take them out quickly.”
Appraise with one aid Huffing and puffing from their narrow escape, Wren couldn’t help but sneak a peek at the full carts. I’m not sure how we get all this out of here, but that is worth a lot of gold. I’d guess somewhere around 7500 gold or so. That’ll help buy a lot of supplies.” She plops down on a comfy spot of grass. ”Is everyone okay? Things could have went really bad back there, you know…”
Still here! Glad to hear you are getting back at it, GM!
Wren offers to cast Haste on as many of the group she could. ”Let’s just go ahead and get out of here to be on the safe side,” Wren advises the others.
Wren uses her Green Mother granted ability to convert a 3rd level spell into healing for the dwarf. ”Hold still, and let me look at you. I think I can help you out just a bit,” she says as she squats and touches the wound. Cure Serious Wounds
Wren gasps at seeing the pinned dwarf and the sickly human. ”Please help them! Quick! We’ve got to get the mine cart moved as quick as we can!”
”What do you see over there, Thael? Anything we need to worry about?”
Welcome back, GM! Hope you are doing well!
Wren decides the best way for her to cross would be the rope bridge once it is constructed. She waits for Thael to scout and set up the ropes
Wren casts Magic Missile on the closest vermin. Damage
Know. Nature ”Oh no, those creepy crawlies are albino cave vermin, and they are plenty mean. They are vicious hunters, so we’d best be careful with them!”
Wren casts Haste on the group.
Perception ”Yep. Once we clear that debris, looks like there is a drainage tunnel down there.”
”Maybe there will be a clue deeper in as to why they are so upset that they can’t rest. Other than that, I don’t think there is anything we can come up with right now,” Wren mutters, looking closer at the scene.
Wren takes a 5’ step back and fires of a barrage of magic Missiles as the undead threatening her. Magic missile
Wren casts Haste, steadying her group for attacks from the undead enemies.
Know. Religion Wren tries to puzzle out what she might have just seen from that moving trash pile.
Perception ”Okay, this is going to sound like I’m losing my mind, but did anyone else notice that the debris pile right there moved?! I might be tired, but I think we need to be careful around it, just to be on the safe side….”
”I agree. We’ve got to try to rescue any possible survivors. We are already here after all. I bet Thael can warn us if anything bad is about to happen!”
Wren just shakes her head. ”Its just awful out here. We never meet any random creatures that just want to be friends anymore. Everything out here wants to punch out faces off or expediently kill us. It’d be great to just find a nice relaxing hot spring for even an hour of relaxation.”. She huffed and fell in line with the group.
Know. Nature Wren helps Grenwold collect the bodies and put them at rest. When Caspan asked why, she didn’t have a good answer. ”It just feels like something we should do. That’s their last remains on this planet. Seems like they should get a proper burial, if nothing else.”
”I think you are probably right, Grenwold. I doubt any remains are left in the area. I’d be happy to help look around, though. I’d hope someone would do the same for what was left of me, if I were in their situations.”
Wren taps into her mental reserves (Phrenic pool) and strengthens her magic missile spell. She takes dead aim at the strange mist that almost ended her earlier.
Magic missile damage
Glad to hear you are soldiering through, GM. We are here when you are available.
Wren casts Haste on everyone she can target, and moves back 40’, hoping to start firing missiles at it next turn.
Once Wren’s bruises began to heal, she sat up and opened her eyes. ”I guess I could use some of my force Missiles against it. And I can fire those from pretty far away,” she says, saying the second part lower than the first part.
”I think I’d go around the mist and try to check the town that way. I don’t want to get hit by it again, that’s for sure. If we can get by it, that’d be preferable to me.”
Know. Dungeoneering Wren rubs her temples, hearing the others talk about the nasty fumes. Her headache kept her from remembering much, if anything.
”This is a really bad day, yannow. My head feels like a got auroch trampled and I’ve never seen most that could knock anyone for a loop before. It’d be nice to just find some simple hobgoblins and take it out on them,” Wren says, laying herself on a comfortable piece of grass. ”Thanks for saving me again, everyone,” she says with her eyes closed.
Reflex Already weakened, Wren was not prepared for the mist to take her so quickly. ”Help,” was the only sounds she could make.
Week was unnaturally quiet during the rest of the day’s trip. She felt weak and just couldn’t shake the headache that was just pounding in her skull. As the group neared the destroyed area, she does manage to offer some assistance. ”I can make one of you invisible, if you want to go scout out what remains. It should last about 7-8 minutes, so you’d need to be quick,” she advises.
”Im honestly not sure,” Wren says, trying to keep a smile on her face, even as her hands shook from the toll the poison took on her system. ”Id advise anyone against letter a giant spider try to make you its lunch. Thanks for saving me, everyone.”
Wren will take the offered vial. Whatever it was, it couldn’t make her feel worse. She didn’t ask any questions and chugged it straight down.
Round 2 Fort Str damage
Round 3 Fort Str damage
Round 4 Fort Str damage
Round 5 Fort Str damage
Wren continued to feel just awful.
