Says: "But some are nasty and hunt us!"   Yuuki the Elf Druid Says: "On my way to see a friend"   Owlbear Says: "Who is this friend?"   Yuuki the Elf Druid Says: "They live in the wood shelter down the trail"   Owlbear Says: "Oh dear, that is a place where those that hunt  us come from!"

We go in the back way like last time hehe   Dungeon Master (GM): you are at a stone bridge that crosses a tributary of the main river here you see a gatehouse on the opposite side   Roqar: 5 | 16 PERCEPTION  (1) Roqar   Dungeon Master (GM): A thin fog surrounds a fortified compound standing in a clearing on the east side of a narrow river. A ten-foot-high log palisade surrounds the compound, whose main building is a two-story stone-and-wood affair with a high-pitched roof, gables, window shutters, and a stone chimney. Attached to the main building is a blocky tower of gray stone, its high roof lined with battlements. Other structures include a two-story stable house and a gatehouse whose flat roof is enclosed by iron railings. A stone bridge spans the river, ending before an oaken door set into the gatehouse’s outer wall. Mounted next to the door is a bell with a short rope hanging from its clapper.   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "No traps here"   Dungeon Master (GM): well it appears you could go ring the bell   Roqar: Ring the bell   Dungeon Master (GM): a fellow appears over the top battlement and hollers down to you   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Hey Falcon! Its me, Roqar"   Dungeon Master (GM): "Greetings Folks! Welcome to Falcon's Hunters lodge! What can I do for you today?!"   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "We came to see Falcon, find out more about the Orcs"

Dungeon Master (GM): He says, "I am Corwin, not Falcon! "Oh I see and you are familiar, you have been here before, but most of the others are new folks, are you ok?"   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Yeah, We're fine, Let us in, please?"   Dungeon Master (GM): He says, "Ah Sildar is that you!"   Sildar the Human Fighter Says: "Yes, it is I, Corwin, Is Falcon here?" Corwin says, "yes, Yes, hold on a moment, let me come down and open the door for you. a moment later you hear the sounds of scrapping on the other side, then the door is opened. Corwin says, "Welcome guests! Come right on in and follow me to the guest house."   Dungeon Master (GM): corwin goes to find Falcon I can't find a token so i either deleted it when i deleted the old group off the map or he doesn't have one   Farren Nidanas: :(   Roqar: He had one   Dungeon Master (GM): so ok a few minutes later Falcon comes to the guest house ok hold on let me look if i have one for him in a folder   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Hey, Falcon, Long time, no see, my friends and I are here to take care of the Orcs"   Buddy D.: brb boss called 5 minutes broke our server lol   Dungeon Master (GM): ok i don't have one for him at the moment but anyways he's at the guest house Falcon says, "Oh, Hello Roqar, I see you have some new friends with you today. So you want to pay those nasty orcs a visit. They are about 10 miles south east of here living at an old manse. Anchorites of Talos they call themselves and I do believe the Many Arrows tribe of displaced Orcs are associating with them as well."   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: " Thats, Dolores, Ferren, Yuuki and Galdor, along with Willie and Xar"   Dungeon Master (GM): Falcon says, "Nice to meet all of you. You are welcome to stay overnight here if you wish."   Roqar: (What time of day is it?)   Dungeon Master (GM): uhmm i guess around 3 pm   Roqar: (May as well stay go out in the morning   Dungeon Master (GM): ok so we fast forward to the morning and you set off. Time for the world map and i need to look and see where to mark the manse   Farren Nidanas: Ok aw damn I kind of wanted to try and buy some potions at the keep at a discount by giving 2 sets of herbs I have.   Dungeon Master (GM): (To GM)rolling d6( 3 ) = 3   Dungeon Master (GM): (To GM)rolling d6( 5 ) = 5   Dungeon Master (GM): there are no encounters through the woods along the way looking for the map hold on   Farren Nidanas: Ok   Dungeon Master (GM): Following a trail through the woods, you come to a foggy clearing, in the midst of which stands a crumbling two-story manse all but hidden beneath thorny ivy. The large house is set atop a six-foot-high stone foundation, and the main entrance has a balcony above it. Pumpkins grow wild in patches around the manse, with several wild boars feeding among them. The boars snort with contempt as you draw near.   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Those boars will probably make some good bacon and sausage later"   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, it's up to you on what you go about doing here now. Stone steps climb to a portico with a stone balcony overhanging it at a height of ten feet. Vines wrap around the balcony’s support pillars and its crumbling stone railing. The ground-floor entrance features a double door with a giant boar’s head crudely carved into it. An unmarred double door stands closed on the balcony.   Roqar: Walk up to the front door, checking for traps 17 | 16 PERCEPTION  (1) Roqar   Dungeon Master (GM): you find no trap   Roqar: Knock loudly   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, checking on a response to that knock or not ok no one answers the door.   Roqar: Is the door locked?   Dungeon Master (GM): you open the door so it's not locked you see an undecorated hall, with a moldy staircase   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Come on guys, Lets go inside"   Farren the Elf Monk Says: "see anything inside?"   Dungeon Master (GM): an opening to the north and i guess what looks like a fireplace to the south east   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "hallway and stairs not sure I'd use the stairs" Says: "Anybody home?"   Dungeon Master (GM): Ok, now i think that is actually a dooway with those wood pieces being a busted door, not logs from a fireplace   Roqar: Alright so doorway North East and SE?   Dungeon Master (GM): north, stairs, east and south east look to be ways to go I am still a bit confused here myself from what is written and what the map shows. hold on i am looking at something ok, from that busted door I Think is supposed to be steps going down so take your pick which way you wish to explore

Roqar: Rather not take the stairs so  1   Dungeon Master (GM): north?   Roqar: North 6 | 11 PERCEPTION  (1) Roqar   Dungeon Master (GM): the door here is smashed to pieces. The room is s strewn with broken furniture, the remains of chairs, side tables and a wine cabinet. There is a mold cicular rug covering most of the stone floor. Roqar does not perceive anything else out of the ordinary in the parlor   Roqar: Any wine bottles left intact?   Dungeon Master (GM): it is an empty cabinet now   Roqar: 9 | 16 INVESTIGATION  (0) Roqar   Dungeon Master (GM): no secret compartment found in it   Roqar: search the room for anything worth taking   Dungeon Master (GM): and there is nothing to be found worth it to take!   Roqar: 16 | 11 INVESTIGATION  (0) Roqar   Dungeon Master (GM): definitely nothing! ok you see stairs going down   Roqar: South Steps down?   Dungeon Master (GM): but from the way that map is it should be a ladder yes heading down them?   Roqar: Check East   Dungeon Master (GM): ok The walls are covered with crude drawings in blood that depict boars chasing stick-figure humanoids. A fireplace dominates the south side of the room, and a smashed wooden dining table lies in a heap in the eastern half of the room, surrounded by six broken chairs.   Roqar: 17 | 16 PERCEPTION  (1) Roqar   Dungeon Master (GM): ok Roqar spots several small twig figures resting on the mantlepiece. you also see a candelabrum in the wreckage of the table 8 twig figures in all   Roqar: Check the candleabrum Worth taking? also watching the twig figures Do they move?   Dungeon Master (GM): You can take the candlelabrum. No they do not You noticed that one actually looks like you (Roqar), then realize the rest also look like other members of the party!   Roqar: I try poking my figure, Do I feel it?   Dungeon Master (GM): You don’t feel a poke like you poked yourself no, though it suddenly comes to life and attacks you!   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Bad Magic!!"   Dungeon Master (GM): I guess just one attacks ok looks like a good place to stop for the day here! So we shall resume next week starting with combat with at least one twig blight that looks like Roqar. I will check farther on if the others come to life when just one is touched. Ok, so Thank you all for playing today and I will see you next week!   Roqar: Yeah hopefully more make it then   Dungeon Master (GM): for sure!   Roqar: CYA   Dungeon Master (GM): bye now!   Farren Nidanas: Nice
