The party returned to Red Larch, where they received treatment for their diseased members and dire threats from the dragon in residence regarding the need to definitively choose a side in the intensifying conflict between good and evil. There they also learned that they were in possession of the legendary Sword of Carwen. It's not a cursed sword, exactly. Just sentient, insane, and evil. During a routine encounter with dire wolves and cyclopes, the party was betrayed by the Sword of Carwen with nearly fatal consequences and some serious new problems to solve. But for now the sword is in Bor's bag of holding, which he still encourages people to treat as "party loot". As yet unsure how to recover from the effects of the Sword of Carwen, the party intends to go dragon hunting and continue toward the recently besieged Bargewright Inn... or whatever's left of it.
