Session 1
The Party arrived at the sultans claw to find a wagon on fire. Uncle Makek immediately went to tend to the injured, once that was dealt with Malek assisted JJ using their magical prowess to put out the fire.
Sif and Ben attempted to coral the animals that had gotten free. They failed at calming the animals, though sif did tackle a goat and carry it back to the pen.
Astion spent this time trying to pull a wagon that was up in danger of catching fire from the other wagon. with his help they were unable to get the wagon away. luckily the combined efforts of uncle malek and JJ managed to put it out.
In the aftermath the party was asked to investigate the fire and determine whether it was an accident by Almah.
Sif and Ben talked with the herdsman asking about the goat the husband was crying about. They attempted to find the goat but tracks in the camp were all muddled up. Sif then went to a nearby hilltop to watch for things.
Astion decided to investigate the burnt wagon finding the remains of the fortune teller. Unable to find anything of note in the wagon Astion noticed he was being watched by the scruffy figure of Dashki. Astion decided to have a conversation with Dashki about why he was being watched. The conversation didn't go anywhere beside addressing the strange visage of Astion.
Uncle Malek chose to start the investigation by talking to father Zostram(?). He found that Daski wasn't trusted by the priest. Afterwards Uncle malek talked to the mercenaries he healed found out that they were all by the cook fire when the fire started.
JJ decided to follow Malek around at a distance not really doing anything.
Uncle Malek then went to investigate the ruined wagon, finding no more than Astion had. At this point Astion, Ben, and JJ regrouped with Malek at the wagon. They shared the information they found. Astion sent Ben to actually ask the herders about the fire rather than the goat.
Uncle Malek then went to have a conversation with Dashki, getting him to open up about his childhood. Learned that Dashki claimed he was at the campfire when the fire started. Astion meanwhile had a conversation with Sif on her perch.
Everyone joined up with Sif and talked about what they learned. Sif decided to have a conversation with Dashki and talked about gnolls. Eventually Dashki was asked about the fire, and the pugwampi hunt started.
The sounds of a crying goat were heard as they found tracks leading to and from the camp. presented with the cactus field Siff alone crossed taking some damage from the cacti. She found the goat and proceeded to free it. The pugwampi could not abide this and went on the attack. Sif killed the pugwampi in a single swing.
Session 2
The party returned to the camp with the goat and pugwampi corpse. Dashki had been exonerated. Almah informed the party that tomorrow they would be tasked with clearing out a monastery for use as a base of operations.
Upon arriving at the monastery Sif decided to scout around the building to see what she could see. Only JJ noticed her departure and decided to follow.
Meanwhile Uncle Malek,Astion, and Ben went through the front door going left from the entrance. They examined a few statues for a bit before proceeding into the chapel. Pugwamis in the rafters quickly noticed the intruders and started peppering them with tiny arrows. Ben and Uncle Malek took cover behind pews while Astion decided to climb up the rafters to deal with the pugwampis. Astion quickly ascertained that The rafters likely wouldn't hold his weight and chose to throw debris at the giggling menaces who were shattering the pews that the others were hiding behind.
Ben decided to climb up and try to help Astion. Astion then threw Ben, rapier ready, at a pugwampi in the rafters. Astions release was true, but Ben's rapier struck the rafter instead of the pugwampi destroying the rafter the pug was on and having ben fall down 20 ft. Undaunted Ben climbed into the rafters for a second flight that ended in another crash landing this time with unconsciousness. All this time Uncle Malek had been chucking rocks at the pugwampis for solid hits that the pugs just shrugged off.
Sif and JJ eventually heard the noise of things breaking. Sif chose to climb the walls of the monastery to get an elevated view. she eventually made her way to a hole in the wall of the chapel, taking down a few pugs with her bow. JJ walked through the building eventually finding the group and attempting to aid by throwing acid at the pugs to no avail.
Eventually the pugwampis were slain or had retreated to a cocoon of fabric. The Group took the time to recover a bit. Uncle Malek cleaned an altar of sarenrae while the others took time to look among the debris of the scattered about.
Once that was done the group knocked down the cocoon of fabric hanging from the ceiling to finish off the remaining pugwampi. King Mokknock tried to take out the party, but was swiftly put down.
Afterwards the party reexamined the statues identifying them as statues of saint vardishal. while examing the statues they found a secret door into an overgrown garden. One more secret door later and the group was in a tower beset upon by cat sized mosquitoes called stirges. Ben and JJ had a sizable amount of blood drained from them before the stirges were exterminated. Afterwards they went into the cloister seeing the frescoes of the Templars of the five winds depicted. They then made their way to the basement Siff, JJ, and Uncle Malek taking the magic items from the dead while Astion and Ben standing around unable to see.
Session 3
Going through the door to the laboratory the group that could see had some time to look around, when suddenly oozes attacked. An ooze attempted to engulf Astion, but even blinded he was able to avoid the slime. Sif took a swing at the other ooze which then engulfed her. The ooze then entered through all of her pores and took root. The other ooze was switly slain.
Leaving the basement the party moved around the upstairs, killing a massive wolf spider. Eventually finding themselves in the kitchen with the pugwampis. After several tripups in the kitchen including Uncle Malek failing to stick the language on the long jump the kitchen was cleared.
The monastary was then cleared and the rest of the caravan moved in. Sif had dreams that night of battle in a war wielding a bow freezing beings of fire Followed by a vision of the bow underneath the courtyard. That morning she dug up the bow.
The party was then tasked with scouting kelmarane and making guerilla strikes by Almah. She wasn't quite clear on what she wanted them todo.
Session 4
The party approached kelmarane via the river. On an opposite bank they saw a man drinking from the water. Upon seeing the group the man hissed and started running towards a building in the distance. Sif took a few shots at the man, though none struck true.
Once in kelmarane Sif went ahead of the group to scout a bit. She identified a slithering sound around one of the buildings and urged the group in a different location.
They then approached the old gatehouse and stirred the attention of Old bonegrinder. Bongrinder dashed out from the ruins and gored Astion. Malek attempting to aid Astion dealt a hearty blow to the dire boar attracting his ire. After a few more strikes from astion and some magic from JJ the boar was slain, though the group was bloodied.
After the group patched themselves up, they continued to investigate the ruins. At one point they heard the sound of a gnoll patrol approaching. Sif took to one of the undamaged roofs and picked them off one by one. afterwards their head were placed on pikes.
Continuing the scouting a pathfinder named Felliped was found. He explained that he had been escaped from capture. The group promised to take him back to the monastary after they checked a few more buildings.
Seeing Smoke coming from the tannery across the river the party attempted to lure out the occupants by firing into the building and using the bridge as a chokepoint. Undrella ignored the single arrow that made it into the building. Astion started yelling insults in an attempt to call whomever was inside out.
The peryton inside the other building heard the commotion and decided to investigate the noise. Seeing an injured Uncle Malek the peryton decided to mark him as food. the Peryton did a few swoops down to attack malek while others ran for one of the nearby buildings. Malek attempted to hide underneath the bridge but was not able to escape the Perytons hunger. Astion valiantly rescued uncle malek after he was brought low. Sif from a nearby rooftop managed to take down the Peryton.
Deciding that was enough for one group for the day they made their way back to the monastary to report what they found.
Thank you for sharing these. My group was supposed to start LoF but we have had delays due to health issues and Corona Virus. I will be sitting on my first level character for a bit, but glad to see someone else having fun.

No problem, I'll try to keep sharing these. Needless to say, there will probably be spoilers here.
I hope things improve soon.
My GM tends to change encounters/material from the original text as we have both a large and experienced group. So, I won't pay much attention to the spoilers but always interested in seeing how the players react and how your campaign flows.
sessions 5
A new day a new trip into kelmerane. The reclaimers opted to take a mor circuitous route to the city going around the pesh field and entering from the north. in order to enter the town proper they needed make their way up the hillside. at the top they reached a gatehouse where some gnolls with hyenas we keeping a lookout. The reclaimers made managed to kill the gnolls, but not before they raised an alarm. Sif had noticed a winged woman come from the tannery and watch the altercation before returning to the tannery.
The reclaimers had some time to prepare before another squad of gnolls came to investigate. Sif climbed atop the gatehouse to get a vantage point for the oncoming response team and managed to snipe 2 of them before they could react. The other two gnolls attempted to hide between buildings, but Sif jumped across the rooftops to get one of them and Astion ran in and struck down the other.
That dealt with, the reclaimers decided, against the advice of almah, to make straight for the battle market. Noticing the nice openings near the top of the building Astion and Sif started climbing the building. They got up one level before the winged woman asked why they didn't just take the front door as she flew up to the opening they were going for. Feeling stupid they moved to above the front door and rained death from above on the two door guards while the rest of the group made their way there. A goblin in a jester suit at the doorway saw the death and attempted to run to the center of the building screaming. Sif having none of that shot him down.
