Jenya Urikas has sent the company on an urgent mission to save Saracem, the high priest of the Church of St. Cuthbert in the city of Cauldron. Saracem was in peril at the Lucky Monkey Inn, 1/2 a days ride from the city.
The full moon was blotted out by rain clouds which unleashed a heavy down pour, as the hero's reached the Lucky Monkey Inn.
In a stroke of bad luck the company had lost three of thier horses in an ambush by two large dinosaurs. Then with a flash of lightning, a crash of thunder and another stroke of bad luck, the remaining horses bolted into the stormy night as the company dismounted to enter the inn.
The company of hero's relaxed thier gaurd a bit as the heard business in the common room.
Kaygan, the fallen Paladin was a bit surprised as he gazed upon the crimescene, as he entered the front door of the Inn.
The ten criminals in the commonroom of the inn were just as surprised, to see Kaygan.
In a dry style Kaygan Offered to the criminals "Surrender or parish." Then Kaygan enters the room drawing his great masterwork silver sword.
The ten criminals position themselves for a fight, with sword, shield, rapiers and short bows.
Tolken, th 1/2 orc fighter, decides to crash his seven foot fram through the window on the right of the front door....
