When we last left our heroes, they had just killed a number of large insects at the lumber camp, and had just discovered one more of an enormous size.
After the giant tar beetle (I'm pretty sure) burst its way out of the building, Calathes tried to climb a large stack of lumber to get the drop on it. Unfortunately, the monstrous beetle's body was magical, and the sight of it dazed Calathes. The giant beetle climbed up the lumber after Calathes, and nearly killed the rogue, leaving a large scar on his chest. Which somehow didn't break the armor. Hey, he said I could choose where the scar was.
With Calathes out of the action, and Axfow staring off into the distance, it was up to Darius and Brogan to defeat the bug. Brogan got the beetle to run away, and soon landed the last attack. With the beetle dead, and Calathes brought back to the living, the three began to search the camp. Axfow stopped staring off into the distance, and started to search as well. One of the buildings was either unstable or trapped, and if the door had been opened, it would have collapsed. Another building was trapped with crossbows, which Calathes was able to disarm. Inside, they found the body of the lumber camp's foreman, and the payroll of all the lumberjacks, which had been defaced with blood.
Also in the building, they found a chest containing a magical longbow (which was given to Brogan), six mysterious vials, and a large number of silver and copper pieces. Another item found in the ruins of the camp was a strange crown made out of small swords.
In one of the larger buildings, the Falcons found that the camp wasn't totally abandoned. Three snakes, obviously magical, attacked them. They were quickly defeated, and the Falcons discovered that there was a survivor of the attack. A lumberjack who had hidden while the attack was going on. This lumberjack told the Falcons about what had happened, about a man with no legs and a group of kobolds attacking the camp. He described that the leader of the kobolds had killed some of the lumberjacks (and some of the other kobolds) and become more powerful from it. Familiar?
After the lumberjack told the Falcons about what he had overheard the floating man and the kobold say (they were going to a burial ground to the northeast, and felt the need to narrate it), he went back to town. The Falcons gave him one of the crossbows from the trap earlier to defend himself with, and only realized that they hadn't given him any bolts after he had left. Oops.
Their destination in mind, the Falcons headed northeast, and soon came arrived at some Azlanti ruins. However, before they could enter the burial mound, they were attacked by a pair of gravehounds and something called a 'nothic'. Hell if I know.
The strange creatures were defeated, and the Falcons moved into the burial mound. Calathes noticed no trap in the first hallway, and swore he could see a ghostly face in a stagnant pool of water in the next room. Nobody believed him. Axfow and Darius followed him in, but Brogan hesitated, as he had noticed something the rogue had not: a trap. Ashamed, Calathes disarmed the trap. I can't remember how, but the Falcons quickly figured out that they (except for Brogan) had been hit by an Azlanti curse, and would die within three days. The cursed Falcons couldn't leave the burial mound, so Brogan decided to head back to town to find some way to lift the curse. However, before he could get very far, the Falcons noticed a creature in the tomb with them. A naga, and with it, a ghost.
The battle was challenging, but the Falcons emerged victorious. Searching through the tomb, they found a magical sealstone, which filled the mind of the holder with knowledge, and lifted the curse placed on three of the Falcons.
And so, no longer cursed to have their teeth and eyes fall out, the Falcons left, aiming to return to Falcon's Hollow.

Hey guys - we won't be able to join again tomorrow or next week - unfortunately! My relatives are with me from Australia and we've had to play it by ear. Have heaps of fun - they will definitely be gone after July 4th, so I'll be able to join back up then.
One quick note: Once you go back to town, someone should sell the items I had listed earlier and split it by the people who were in that session.

Grudge Blade
Aura minor necromancy; CL 9th; Slot none; Price 10,320 gp; Weight 2 lbs.
DESCRIPTION
Grudge blades play a role in many of the conflicts driven by the diabolical elite, both petty and epic. The dull, dark-gray steel of the blades almost appears blunt on the edges, but these +1 rapiers are wickedly sharp. Each elegantly carved hilt displays an engraved, glaring eye that appears to wink and flash as you fight.
The true power of a grudge blade reveals itself against an opponent you have already injured with the sword. If you hit a creature with the sword on your previous turn, you gain an extra +1 bonus on damage rolls against that creature. As long as you continue to hit that creature at least once per round and attack no other creatures with the grudge blade, this damage bonus continues to build, to a maximum of +5; failing to hit that target or attacking anyone else resets the damage bonus to +0.
CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
Craft Magic Arms and Armor, deathknell, magic weapon; Cost 5,320 gp

Oh, fine. Here we go.
When we last left our heroes, they were headed back to Falcon's Hollow after investigating the Azlanti ruins. Upon arriving at town, they found that it was under attack by an army of undead. They quickly went to work and took down a large undead ram, saving one of Calathes's workers in the process. The worker, known as Lack Ey, told Calathes that the shop had been robbed by a wererat. Since they had bigger troubles, the Falcons put that on the back burner and kept moving.
They headed south into the town square, where Lady something-with-an-S was healing people hurt in the attack. After fighting a few zombies in the square, the Falcons saw a werewolf attack one of the guards and then escape into the sewers, yelling at the Falcons that she should have killed them when she had the chance.
When all the zombies were rekilled, the priestess told the Falcons that the undead had started to rise the night before, and that they were apparently based in the sewers beneath town. The Falcons decided that that was where they were headed, and with the priestess in tow, they disembarked.
They only got about fifty feet into the sewers before they were attacked by a blob of living blood. The creature drained blood from the Falcons to make more of itself, but it and its spawn were defeated handily, although the Falcons were covered in excrement in the process.
Then, not even fifty feet past that, the Falcons noticed a chamber with a large rune floating on the filthy water. Something in the room spoke to them, asking them to come inside just to have a chat. The Falcons didn't buy it, and ran away. The source of the voice showed itself to be some big, ugly elephant thing, and it wiped the memory of Axfow and Brogan as they ran. It took some convincing, but Calathes was able to get them to follow him, and the elephant-thing seemed to be incapable of giving chase.
And then, fifty freaking feet past that, another thing showed its ugly face.
I'm beginning to notice a pattern.

...Uh, Calathes just leveled up. Again.
WRITEUP TIME
When we last left the Falcons, they had just avoided the clutches of a dangerous elephant-thing, and Calathes had spotted something off in the distance...
A floating orb of what looked like fungus, floating away from the group down a tunnel. Not wanting to get messy again, the Falcons decided to let it go.
Not long after that, the Falcons heard the sound of rattling bars, and went to investigate. They found, locked up in prison cells, some undead, struggling to break free. And then, a group of skeletons, and the floating eye from earlier, attacked!
The skeletons and the eye were dealt with easily enough (Brogan punched a skeleton so hard it fell apart. It was awesome). In that area, they found a trapped chest, and after disarming it, they found a few interesting items. Namely, a ring of keys, a quiver of magic arrows, and a bag of holding filled with gold coins.
The Falcons moved on to the next room, and found even more cells filled with undead. Darius spent some time putting them out of their misery, and a hidden door was discovered, leading to a sewer grate in the south side of Falcon's Hollow.
The Falcons continued on through the stinking sewers, and they soon found a large, trapped door. After the the rune was disarmed and the lock picked, the Falcons entered the room, and found cadavers hanging from the ceiling on meathooks. Not long after that, they were attacked by a robed man and two strange undead. After all the enemies were defeated, Darius piled the corpses up in another room and burned them. The Falcons, again, found some treasure.
With that done, the Falcons kept moving. After passing a strange, moldy growth (Calathes tried to jump over it, but was knocked out by the spores in mid-air), they found another passage, and through that, a group of wererats, likely the ones responsible for robbing the Humble Homunculus. Not wanting to mess with them, the Falcons let them be.
Then, past that, they found the object of their search. Jeva, the girl they had saved so long ago. An ungrateful bee-yotch, in both senses of the word. The werewolf girl was inside a room with a strange, empty pit. Axfow, being old and easily confused, and Calathes, being young and easily fooled, were both enchanted by the pit, and saw what they most desired inside it, and jumped in, leaving Brogan and Darius to fight the werewolf themselves. During the fight, both men were bitten, but Jeva was defeated, shifting back to her human form in death. And, unbeknownst to him, Brogan was infected with the curse of lycanthropy.
The Falcons kept moving, and soon came across an odd sight. A trio of drunkards, sitting in the cellar of a tavern, getting smashed. And one of them - a halfling - was very familiar to the Falcons. Edgrin, the man they had saved in Droskar's Crucible. It turned out that Edgrin's expedition had failed, as he had lost his money while stuck in the Crucible, and had been driven to drink. He begged Calathes for a job (five gold a week? What, do I look like I'm made out of money?), trying to guilt him into it, since the halfling blamed the Falcons for what had happened to him (Yeah, we saved his life. So sorry about that). Calathes ignored him, simply saying that Edgrin should come by the shop later, and the Falcons returned to town, smelling like shit, but triumphant.
Also, I thought of the names for the workers in the Humble Homunculus. Lack Ey, Min Yun, Wirr Kur, Subor Dinate, and Bobby Fourfingers.

If you choice to invest you have the potential for a return on your money.
Some info the Candlestone Caverns...
The Candlestone Caverns are a vast labyrinth of limestone tunnels and caves located in the northeastern Aspodell Mountains of Andoran. They were exposed only two centuries ago in an earthquake. The caverns themselves are inhabited by dangerous vermin,[1] kobolds of the Black Claw tribe,[2] duergar, and undead, although the main denizens are numerous tribes of gremlins and other subterranean fey. The Caverns provide the most direct route from the surface to the Nar-Voth settlement of the fey known as the Court of Ether.[1]
Dangerous creatures from deeper in the Darklands find their way up through the caverns as well, and pose a threat to the local denizens as well as the nearby surface-dwellers. The clever kobolds of the Black Claw tribe have responded to this by creating a series of one-directional tunnels bypassing their territory and leading directly to the surface. In this way, many of the abominations which might never see the light of day, are provided with a direct and unobstructed route to Andoran, much to the consternation of the local humans. The kobolds have thus unintentionally given those able to track the Darkland creature's tracks, an easy, trap-free path from the surface into the Darklands

Would I be able to find a wizard/sorcerer that can cast Abundant Arrows + Permanency on my quiver so I don't have to keep track of arrows?
Permanency is at DM discretion but it would cost 2500g to cast (similar to other lv 1 permanent spells).
If the intent is that you have infinite supply of standard arrow then I don't have any issues.
If the intent on the other hand is you have infinite supply of special/alchemical arrows that happen to fit every occasion that arises then the answer is no.

When we last left our heroes, they had foiled the undead attack on Falcon's Hollow, and were preparing to head back to Droskar's Crucible to investigate the vault door deep inside.
Thankfully, Brogan was able to realize that he was infected with lycanthropy, and had the horrible curse removed. And so, three of the Falcons - Darius, Brogan, and Calathes - headed off to the Crucible.
On the way there, they came across a tribe of river barbarians, which for some reason included an ogre. The barbarians fought like monsters, and hit like avalanches, but the Falcons were able to defeat them and the ogre. From the symbols on their bodies, it was assumed that they worshiped one of the gods of the Dark Tapestry, beings from beyond the stars.
Exploring the barbarian camp, the Falcons found a crippled, eyeless woman in front of the fire, in the middle of a trance. Calathes tried to shake her out of it, and she whispered something in his ear. She told him that the 'Dark Young' were coming, and that 'when you observe the stars, sometimes the stars observe back'.
She also asked him to have sex with her, to hasten the arrival of the Dary Young. Calathes declined, slightly insulted that she thought he could father an abomination.
Assured that this woman was a crazy cultist, Darius stuffed her in a sack. I'm not kidding. He actually shoved her in a big bag. They headed back to town with the crazy lady in tow. Calathes grumbled the entire way there about how he was of fine stock, even if he didn't know who his father was.
Back in Falcon's Hollow, the Falcons found Lady Serthana at the Sitting Duck tavern, where she was staying while the church was rebuilt. They dropped off the cultist with her, with instructions not to let her have sex with anyone. With that, they returned to the adventure, but not before Calathes could ask Lady Serthana if he looked abomination-y. She said no, and with his ego reassured, Calathes left.
When the Falcons returned to the Crucible, they found that the vault door was open, and behind it was a hole in the ground, leading down at least a hundred feet. Using two lengths of rope tied together, the Falcons descended into the pit, which was faintly illuminated by glowing crystals, and decorated by giant, glassy orbs containing sacrificed corpses. There was a large stone door between two pillars, and to the surprise of the Falcons, they opened.
Out walked an undead, hideous creature, not so much human as it was a pile of flesh. It attacked the Falcons, but it proved to be very susceptible to edged weapons, which the Falcons had no shortage of.
Then, something happened. The rope the Falcons had used to get down there fell, as if it had been cut from up above. And the large orbs cracked, releasing a constant stream of water. After the flesh creature was cut down to size, the Falcons escaped from the cavern, retreating through the large stone doors and closing them, using some clothing to stop the water, which showed no signs of stopping.
With their way back blocked, the Falcons had no choice but to move forwards. Inside the door was what seemed to be a tomb. A channel moved from north to south, filled with a red liquid that wasn't blood, and to the east, there was a large pool of the same liquid, and a lot of sarcophagi. The Falcons started looking around, and it didn't take long for something to attack them.
A group of shadowy figures (literally made of shadows) rose up out of the ground to attack, and another ghostly figure threw rocks at the party, fading in and out of existence as it did so. The shadows went down easily, but the ghost was harder to destroy, since it kept on fading in and out. Eventually, it was defeated, but the Falcons had a new problem. The clothing under the door hadn't been able to stop the water, and it was slowly beginning to rise.
Panicked, the Falcons started to search for another exit. They soon found one. In another chamber, at the end of the channel of red water, was a skull with an obviously magical staff in it. The Falcons waded through the water to get to it, as the doors were thrown open from the sheer volume of water behind it. Thankfully, Calathes was able to somehow discover the command word, and activated the staff.
The Falcons found themselves inside a cramped, stony room. They quickly found a secret sliding door, and on the other side, a cell with a magical symbol on the floor. The Falcons were unable to escape, and soon, they found that they had a visitor. A strange woman, who looked at them and laughed.
And that's where we stopped.

When we last left our heroes, they had just been teleported into a strange cell, and been laughed at by a mummified woman.
Calathes noticed that, at the top of the room, there were a number of holes, which he realized were part of a trap. With no way to open the bars from the inside, he got a crazy idea. He squeezed his way into the party's bag of holding, and had Darius and Brogan put him outside the bars. Then, he climbed out, and got attacked by the mummy woman.
Calathes got away from her, and ran to a panel with glowing runes in the middle of the room. He started pressing buttons, which unlocked a few of the cells. Some of them contained nothing, others held mutated, hound-like undead, and one of them... had Axfow, who had somehow been captured and brought there.
The released undead hounds and mummy woman swarmed Calathes, knocking him out and putting him near death. Darius used the same trick as Calathes to get out of the cell, and made it to the panel, releasing Brogan and Axfow before being knocked out himself. Brogan and Axfow cleaned up the rest of the enemies, even though Brogan was knocked out as well. The group was brought back up, even though some of them had been cursed by the mummy, and were difficult to heal. They started looking for a way out, and soon found a staircase headed upwards. After passing by a number of eyes in the floor, the Falcons made their way up the tower, and found an observatory.
They were in a large mansion, and on the roof below the tower, there was a glass dome with a ray of light beaming into the center. In the observatory tower, however, there was a large telescope.
Calathes made the terrible decision of looking into it, and he saw, in his mind, the dreaded Cthulhu Expy. He reeled back, and Darius started to attack the telescope, which for some reason started bleeding.
The Falcons decided that they needed to get down to the roof, and so they broke a window and climbed down the side of the tower using a rope. At the bottom, they peeked into the glass dome, and broke in, dropping down into the room below.
The ray of light from beyond the stars was directed into a strange orb, which directed it down even further. The Falcons found their way down, and saw that the light was going through a pair of double doors. They charged into the room, and what they saw astounded them.
In the center of the large room was a massive, alien creature, held in captivity by four statues all around it. A pair of clearly magical beings were in the room, and as soon as they noticed the Falcons, they called in their master, the floating man. The mysterious, malevolent being prepared to cast the greatest magic of all: the magic of fitting an entire villainous monologue into six seconds.
And so, the Falcons entered combat. The servants went down easily enough, but their master was another story. As he fought, he broke the orbs held by each of the four statues one by one.
Calathes was killed in the battle, his head torn off by the floating man, and the final orb was destroyed. The monster was stirring. The floating man was struck down, and the Falcons ran for their lives, taking Calathes's head with them for sentimental reasons. They were able to get out of the mansion before the beast awoke, and they escaped back to Falcon's Hollow, victorious.
Well, victorious-ish. They hadn't been able to stop the Whispering Way from waking the monster, and Calathes was dead, so... I'd say they made out even.
