Nosferatu (Tallis): did we get 100 xp for last week?
GM: Yeah, I think it was in the wiki
Campaign saved.
Nosferatu (Tallis): heh I still think the whole thing is a big mess, there is data everywhere ;)
Nosferatu (Tallis): the whole 4 threads, one wiki and a google page thing that is.
GM: think we're going down to just the threads on GWJ and the wiki, that's all most people are using now
Campaign saved.
Nosferatu (Tallis): any idea what the notes thing is supposed to be for? I've been using to track what's been happening, but I get the feeling that is not its original purpose.
GM: no idea

Estavir gazes at the wolf carcasses
Estavir begins to whoop!
Estavir runs off into the woods
Kavan yawns.

Estavir: we slayed them!

Estavir ducks
Campaign saved.
Estavir glares at Gerund
GM: Sithis says, "I'm needed in Fallcrest. And so is this vagabond."
Gerund -> Power [Magic Missile]
GM: He packs up his stuff and Torgan's stuff - Torgan, meanwhile, is looking on with a sort of dazed horror - and they begin walking back to Fallcrest.
GM: The dawn is just appearing over the horizon.
GM: As Sithis and Torgan crest the hill, they are passed by a wizard traveling the other way.
GM: Dirge says,"That's it. I'm fed up with this level of disorganization - I'll sit right here until you people straighten this out."
GM: He settles himself back into camp - looks like he's planning for a long stay.

Gerund: The wizard hails them
Gerund: Greetings

Estavir leaps up
Estavir: identify yourself
Estavir: !
Kavan: Easy Estie. Hello, I'm Kavan.
Gerund: I am called Gerund.
Estavir looks at Kavan with gleaming eyes
Kavan: Care to share our fire? It's apparently dangerous out.
Kavan grins at the wolf carcasses.
Gerund: Gladly.
Kavan: So... Who might you be, Gerund?
Gerund: You seem quite able, yourselves, given that dead wolf over there.
Campaign saved.
Estavir leaps up
Estavir: I!
Estavir sits down
Gerund: A wizard. A wanderer.
Gerund: Yourselves?
Gerund -> Power []
Kavan: Travelers. Would-be adventurers. Adventurers that currently seem to be a little more short-handed than planned...
Tallis: We are undertaking a job for Guy Damrosc, on our way to the Kalton Family estate.
Estavir: I am (glares at Gerund distrustfully) mighty
Kavan: Perhaps Avandra has guided you to our camp to aid us in our quest.
Tallis: I'm thinking our camping just off the road had a little more to do with it.
Kavan: Ah, but what led us to camp so close to the road?
Kavan cocks an eyebrow.
Tallis: Laziness?
Gerund: I see. If you would accept my aid, it would be given gladly.
Estavir attempts to appear mighty
Kavan: Laziness, luck.
Kavan shrugs.
Kavan: Well, I'm ready to get started. The day is young!
King Mob: (POLL) Fast forward?
Tallis: Well, whatever has brought you to our camp, you are more than welcome to join our party, as two of our members have felt an urgent need to return to town.
Kavan: Probably a lack of ale.
Kavan frowns.
Campaign saved.
Gerund: My thanks. I shall follow your lead.
Kavan: Then let us pray that Avandra guides us to our destination quickly.
GM: The group hikes south most of the day. As the day begins to wane and the sun approaches the horizon once more, they see Witchlight Fen ahead. Soon they will come to Kalton Manor.
Kavan: Praise Avandra!
GM: As they begin to enter the swamp, they smell strange smells and hear strange sounds.

GM: The group becomes aware that the Manor must be nearby, perhaps only a hundred yards or so. It is still hidden by thick undergrowth, however.
Haiku (Estavir): i'll press forward through the undergrowth, searching for the manor
4dSwissCheese (Gerund): I'll slowly, carefully follow him
King Mob: are you sneaking? what is everyone else doing
Campaign saved.
Haiku (Estavir): not sneaking, no
Liquidmantis (Kavan): I'll follow, letting Estavir have a healthy lead.
King Mob: OK, so in a line.
You approach Kalton Manor - or what remains of it. A hundred years, fire and flood have each told their tale, and the once-proud keep no longer seems to stand. Instead its foundation is half-drowned in swamp water.
The north approach once held a wooden bridge connecting the Manor grounds to solid ground on the other side. Now both sides are damp and soggy, and the bridge has fallen down in the middle.
A familiar voice hails you. "Well," the peasant Torgan met in the Alehouse says, "welcome to our fishing hole! Come up and set a spell." It seems four peasants, acquaintances of the wizard Torgan, have decided to fish off the wooden pier on the Manor side.
Estavir approaches, warily
Estavir waits for Kavan, who he seems to feel is some kind of leader
Campaign saved.
Gerund -> Skill [Insight] [21] [1d20+7 = 21]
Kavan: I think we're okay over here right now. You know, the mud and all to cross over.
"Why don't you come on in to the Manor, or what's left of it, and we'll fix you dinner from the fish we caught today?"
Kavan: What brings you all the way out here?
Tallis: So how do we get over there from here, the water seems a bit difficult to cross?
Campaign saved.
GM: "Bah, it's easy - just a little bit of mud, and you'll be over. Here, I'll come help."
GM: Fat, ugly rabble on other side of bridge: Moves aside and says, "Come on in!"
Estavir waits for someone
4dSwissCheese (Gerund): waits for someone else to take the lead
Kavan: You know the owner of the manor is in town? He sent us out to check on the condition of the manor. I think he might be wanting to move in. What are you all about?
GM: Oh heck, this is just our old fishing hole.
GM: C'mon, don't be shy! It's mighty gross sleeping in the swamp, and the chiggers tend to bite real fierce.
Kavan (smiling): Surely there's better fishing in town.
Kavan: Off the docks and all.
Estavir meanders behind Kavan
Kavan: Can't think you'd catch much hear other than toads and the occasional turtle.
Campaign saved.
GM: Well that's just it - we're turtle-fishing!
Gerund: takes a step back
Liquidmantis (Kavan): here that is.
Nosferatu (Tallis): Tallis prepares himself for an ambush

Estavir thinks that tallis is screwed
Tallis thinks that Estavir is going to die after Tallis kills all these hoomans.
GM: Out from behind the foundation of Kalton Manor comes a tall Tiefling, clad in scale mail, with a commanding presence. You can't help but notice the glaive on his shoulders and battleaxe strapped to his side.
Telric Scarborn: Welcome. Why don't you come on in and let us know why you're here.
He smiles
Telric Scarborn: He tries to shake Tallis's hand.
Kavan (yelling): DON'T TOUCH HIM!
Kavan (yelling): DON'T TOUCH HIM!
Tallis: /act shakes Telric Scarborns outstretched hand.
Estavir is relieved, for some reason
GM: He slaps Tallis on the back and motions for the group to join him inside.
Estavir backs away
GM: The other humans come across the bridge to join the group, smiling in a friendly way.
Kavan: Uh, hey guys.
Telric Scarborn: Of course, I am going to have to ask you to leave your weapons here.
Estavir: I am a mighty ranger and demand you leave this place, leaving us to our mighty adventuresome, um . . .
Estavir trails off

GM: The missles strike Telric's head and shoulder with a resounding crack, and the Tiefling finally falls.

Kavan: Woohoo!
Estavir: bastard!
Gerund: examines belt closely
Estavir: see that arrow sticking out of him? that's what got to him, eventually
GM: On Telric's body you find the +1 belt, which you can identify more closely at your next extended rest. And 130gp.
Tallis searches carefully for an arrow in the Tiefling, but finds none.
GM: And a healing potion.
Estavir: declares that the arrow WAS there
Estavir: (to kavan) why were they here?
Estavir: I thought this place was abandoned
Estavir (excitedly): who are they!
Kavan: Turtle fishing they said.
Campaign saved.

Estavir: turtle fishermen have never attacked a party of well-equipped adventurers!

Estavir: casts around mockingly for a turtle
Kavan: Well, that's finally that.
Estavir: I don't like being lied to
Kavan: Even split on the gold?
Estavir: fine
Estavir: someone keep the treasure, looks a bit too fancy for me
Tallis: Sounds good to me, 30 gold each.
Gerund: Fine by me. I don't particularly want the belt. You guys can put it to better use. And besides, I just joined you.
Estavir: takes his 30gp
Kavan: Sure, then the remaining 10gp for the temple of Avandra?
Tallis wonders what sort of math the teeach at the temple...
Estavir looks blankly at Kavan
Kavan: I count 130gp...
Tallis smacks himself on the forehead for miscounting.
Gerund: takes his gold
Kavan: Maybe halflings don't have enough fingers.
Kavan grins at Tallis.
Estavir gazes into the distance for a moment
Tallis: At least I can count past twenty without taking my clothes off... and then you only get to 20 and a half!
Estavir: please stop fighting!
Kavan laughs.
Estavir rushes up to Kavan and Tallis
Estavir: please stop fighting!

Estavir looks desperately at Kavan and Tallis
Estavir: walks up to the building
Estavir: we should go in
Tallis looks at Kavan asking silently if they should just put down teh poor elf already.
Kavan: Perhaps we should rest here for a while and recuperate?
Estavir (absentmindedly): yes . . .
Estavir: a dungeon!
Estavir runs back
Estavir: we're at a real dungeon!
Kavan: No trees in a dungeon...
Estavir: no . . .
Kavan: So... How can we best use the belt?
Estavir: looks a bit pensive
Estavir: we should rest
Tallis: I believe that you should take it Kavan, none of us can use chainmail.
'Kolbo' connected
Estavir: take your treasure . . .
Estavir sits down
Estavir unrolls his bedroll
Kavan: Oh. I was going to suggest you use it to better hold up going toe-to-toe.
Tallis: Later we can determine how to divide the magical spoils that we find.
Estavir lays down, gazing at Kavan
4dSwissCheese (Gerund): offers, as the new guy, to take first watch
Kavan: But we would be better off if I manage to stay on my feet next time.
Kavan sighs.
Tallis: I am not familiar with using chainmail, if it was leather I would gladly agree with oyu.
Nosferatu (Tallis): lol oops.
Estavir (absentmindedly): you know, you don't have to know anything about chainmail to wear a belt
GM: The group rests, continuing to discuss the finer points of belt wear.
Tallis: How would you know this?
Campaign saved.

Estavir did!
Estavir: a glorious battle!
GM: Early the next morning, you prepare to enter Kalton Manor.
You climb down the natural stairs into what was once the basement of Kalton Manor. It seems to be in much better repair than the outside - indeed, it is furnished in a certain rustic luxury which suggests these squatters may have had some resources.
Estavir looks around
Tallis: I just got the oddest feeling that I was not in control of myself for a moment there.
Estavir doesn't care much for treasure
Estavir seems annoyed by the attention paid to the thing
4dSwissCheese (Gerund): If the lighting situation is poor, I offer to illuminate a pebble or somesuch
Campaign saved.
Kavan points to his new belt.

You find writing materials and tightly bound sheets of parchment in the secretary. Reading the parchment, this is a payroll for the group. The record goes back years, but most of the older entries are torn, stained, and hard to read.

The newer entries seem to indicate a 50 / 50 split of money between "Telric's Irregulars" and "Our Contact." Each payment states a date of monies received - although the source of the money isn't referred to - and monies sent to this "Contact," never more than a month apart.
Tallis: Sounds good to me, the potions we'll keep in reserve...
The last date for "monies sent" is two weeks ago.

Tallis: I'm thinking the
Tallis: best bet might be everyone but Kavan take one
Gerund: If we have 3, then sure.
Tallis: Kavan is our mainline healer, and if he's down someone should be able to use theirs on him.

Estavir walks up to the staircase
Kavan gently pushes Estavir toward the staircase
Approaching the earthen staircase, you are brought up short. An old man clad in worn brown robes appears before you as abruptly as the stairs themselves - in fact, you can see the stairs behind him. His form shimmers in the light.
"Halt. If you seek the treasure of Kalton Manor, you must deal with me."

Lodin -> Skill [Perception] [17] [1d20+7 = 17]
GM: You don't know that much about Ghosts. But this figure seems genuine - you don't see any strings, anyway.
Lodin: Lodin is not one to normally believe in ghosts and questions the validity of this spirit
Nosferatu (Tallis): I wonder if NPCs wonder why we have this weird round robin talking thing going on...
GM: By the way, you notice the holy symbol of Pelor on his robes.

GM: You know that ghosts are very dangerous enemies, with powers that are beyond your abilities at present; that they are not necessarily good or evil.
Benticore (Tsurras): Good thing I ddint hit him with my axe, huh?
GM: That some of them seek rest while others must perform a duty or find vengeance before they can find rest.
Gerund
Estavir waits for Kavan to do something that will make him look good
Liquidmantis (Kavan): especially considering that you /can't/
Haiku (Estavir): :P
Benticore (Tsurras): yeah that
Gerund: considers what he knows about ghosts, specifically in relation to priests of Pelor
Gerund -> Skill [Religion] [14] [1d20+9 = 14]
Kavan looks worriedly at Estavir.
GM: A priest of Pelor would not seek to live after death unless it were absolutely necessary. They would seek rest if it were possible.

Campaign saved.
Tallis (megalomoniacal): Sir, we have been sent here by Guy Damrosch, last heir of Alton Kalton whom founded this manor. he has sent us here to reclaim his birthright for him.

Tallis -> Skill [Diplomacy] [10] [1d20+2 = 10]
Tallis -> Skill [Insight] [27] [1d20+7 = 27]
Ghost: I know nothing of this "Guy." I do not know if his birthright is here.
Tsurras (whispers): How sure are we that Guy spoke the truth about his birthright?
GM: From your insight check you can tell he's telling the truth; however he hasn't said everything.
Gerund: giggles at rhyming name Alton Kalton and wonders who would name their child that
Tsurras
Haiku (Estavir): lord . . . bickus . . . dickus?
Kolbo (Lodin): Do we know if Kalton is Human?
Tsurras: It seems you wear the vestaments of Pelor, noble spectre...
[w] Tallis -> Tsurras: I'm not sure if it's true or not, but I'd rather appear on the lawful side of this debate ;)
Tsurras: Is there any way we might be able to help you find your rest?
Campaign saved.
Tsurras -> Skill [Diplomacy] [19] [1d20+8 = 19]
Haiku (Estavir): no porn either?!?!?!?
Nosferatu (Tallis): no internet?
Ghost: Yes, I believe you could. If you free my body from its imprisonment and perform the rites, I will find rest.
Nosferatu (Tallis): oh wait Haiku beat me to it...
Haiku (Estavir): same thing
Lodin
Tsurras: Imprisonment? Where is your corpse imprisoned?
Tsurras: Durn
GM: You're not sure exactly where - but you think it might be somewhere within this Manor.
Lodin: Well, by Pelor. If it is the Kalton birthright you seek, then I can help you. I am Lodin Kalton. Last heir of the Kalton name.

Tsurras backs up
Ghost: Well, in that case, I must let you pass. But why have you returned here?
Gerund: gets ready to flee
[w] Tallis -> Lodin: I'll be sure to "visit" your widow...
Lodin: emote eyes dart to Tsurras for a moment as he sees him moving back
Tsurras arches and eyebrow...and shrugs
Haiku (Estavir): notices the tension and fingers his bow . . .
Kavan (whispering): to free him
Tsurras (whispers): You're here to see that the last defender of the manor of Kalton is finally set free...
Haiku (Estavir): holds up cue cards
Haiku (Estavir): blissfully ignores the fact
King Mob: Estavir's cue cards are upside down and misspelled anyway
King Mob: They read "Sey u r sry"
Tallis: Ouyay astlay altonKay, eway ouyay ackbay.

Tsurras (laughing): Nice work, Lodin! I owe you a beer!
Tallis bows in lodins direction.

Estavir wanders to the stairs
Gerund disapproves of these methods, but likes the results

Lodin laughs at Tsurras for the big dragonborn for being such a 'sally'
Tsurras boldly stalks down the stairs

Tsurras (shrugging): I figured you were thinking fast...
Tsurras: not something I'm particularly good at
The rough-hewn stairs wind down into the darkness beneath you. After a few minutes, you reach the bottom - a dark, dank cavern lit by a soft, glowing light. As you enter the cavern, you see the skeleton of a man in the center of the room, still holding aloft a holy symbol. Miraculously, the symbol still glows and seems to hold the darkness at bay. At the other end of the cavern, a dark river runs from north to south.
Gerund just bobs along happily
Lodin smiles at Kavan with that twinkle in his eye
Lodin: Estavir, we've just met and you are calling me a liar? Tsk. Tsk. Not a good way to make friends.
Estavir appears alternately offended, taken aback, and thrilled
Estavir begins to follow Lodin, hoping Kavan doesn't notice

Nearing the cleric's final resting place, you see a pitched battle was fought here. The skeletons of other men, and other, monstrous skeletons, are locked together as they were in combat.
GM: Let me know if anyone wants to do any checks?
Tsurras: you know, it occurs to me

Tsurras -> Skill [Perception] [3] [1d20+2 = 3]
Nosferatu (Tallis): I wanted to see if the skeletons were dead dead
GM: Tallis first - you check the skeletons carefully. Don't think they are still intact except for the one in the middle.
Lodin is looking for anything that seems out of place from just the skeleton in the middle (i.e. traps, wires, etc.)
GM: Lodin, you realize something very interesting - the men died facing the river. The monsters seemed to come from the river.
GM: You don't see any traps.
Lodin: I would keep an eye on the river, fellas.

Tsurras: Okay
Tsurras: I've got a plan
Tsurras: Everybody else get back to the stairs
Tallis: You rush for the water, we gab the corpse and run back upstairs?
Estavir detaches himself from Lodin's hip and approaches Tsurras
Tsurras: I'll take my Bedroll and grab the corpse
Kolbo (Lodin): Plan A *raises right fist* and Plan B *raises left fist*
Tsurras: And run like hell
Gerund: wonders about the nature of the miracle that lights the holy symbol, and what the deal with the "vermin" infesting the corpses resting place are
Estavir heads back to the stairs
[w] Tallis: can I do a perception check to see if ther are any traps?
Tsurras takes a closer look at the corpse as he unrolls his bedroll
Lodin: shakes his head at Tsurras' plan.
Tsurras -> Skill [Perception] [15] [1d20+2 = 15]
[w] -> Tallis: Just tell me exactly where you're looking.
Estavir gazes uneasily at Lodin and Tsurras, as if torn
Estavir returns to Kavan's side
[w] Tallis: lets start near me
Tallis -> Skill [Perception] [5] [1d20+2 = 5]
Tsurras: If any of you have a better plan, speak now or forever hold your giblets
Lodin: Tsurras. Being the big dragonborn you are, I feel you would be better suited to hold these lizardmen at bay while someone like me runs the corpse back upstairs.
[w] -> Tallis: It's safe.
Tsurras: You misunderstand, pinky
Estavir (meekly): I . . .
Tsurras: If we get rushed by lizardmen, we can fight them easier on the stairs
[w] Tallis: now how about with the symbol itself.
[w] -> Tallis: go for it.
Lodin eyebrows raised at the 'Pinky' comment.
Tsurras: as opposed to getting surrounded down here
Tallis -> Skill [Perception] [16] [1d20+2 = 16]
Estavir (mumbles): fast . . .
Gerund: I can do the floating disk thing if no one wants to touch the corpse much, and we don't mind waiting 10 minutes
[w] -> Tallis: no traps there.
Estavir (quietly): I'm fast . . .
Tsurras (shrugging): I don't mind getting my hands dirty
[w] Tallis: and the waterline area
Tallis -> Skill [Perception] [6] [1d20+2 = 6]
Tsurras: Maybe I can parlay with the Lizard man, being a bit scaly myself
[w] -> Tallis: Nothing of interest there.
Kavan: I'm going to see if I can determine anything about the nature of the blessing on the symbol.
Tsurras: but I wouldn't count on it
Kavan -> Skill [Religion] [15] [1d20+7 = 15]
Campaign saved.
Tsurras: Hey Estavir, keep an eye on that river...I'd hate to get snuck up on
GM: Sorry, the nature of the spell cast here is beyond your understanding.
Lodin: Looks up and sees Estavir go to the river
Tallis -> Initiative [13] [1d20+4 = 13]

Tsurras: oh....crap
Gerund -> Initiative [2] [1d20 = 2]
Tsurras -> Initiative [4] [1d20+1 = 4]
Kavan waves sorrowfully at Estavir.
A dark figure rises, almost soundlessly, from the river. Black, tattered wings hold aloft the thin body of a dragon hatchling. Driven insane by its imprisonment, the creature leaps towards you without so much as a scream.
Tsurras is pretty sure he didnt want Estavir to WALK over to the river
Estavir is overjoyed that Kavan is sad to see him die!
Estavir will die happy!
Gerund: Damn you Estavir!
Kavan: Oh, it's just a hatchling.
Kavan: It might even be Tsurra's cousin.
Tsurras: Bad Estavir! No Barbecue for you!
Lodin gets ready as his line of sight is broken from Estavir.

Tsurras -> Skill [Perception] [19] [1d20+2 = 19]
Lodin: One of you holy types take care of putting that ghost's body to rest.
Kavan performs final rites on the bones of the cleric.
Tsurras: Kevan, can you handle that? I wanna keep an eye on the river, just in case
GM: You find in the area: Darkleaf Armor +1 on one of the human corpses. An amethyst worth 100gp. 200 sp among the bodies.
Tallis asks gerund if he can cast light into the river.
Kavan: Good idea. I don't know what dropping this protection will do.
Tsurras: Darkleaf armor?
GM: The symbol is a Symbol of Life +1.
Estavir: darkleaf?
Tsurras: ARMOR MADE OF LEAVES?!
Tsurras laughs bitterly
Estavir: dark leaves?
Kavan: It's made by your people, Estavir...
Estavir: I'd like to carry it, for a time
Estavir: (gazing at the armor with wide eyes)
Kavan: I don't know. Sure sounds like treasure to me.
Tsurras figures he'd get laughed out of the Bladesmen guild if he was seen wear leaf armor
Kavan grins.
Lodin: Eyes the armor but then sees that eccentric elf staring at it unstably.
Tsurras: fru-fru armor
Estavir strokes it lovingly
Tsurras: give it to the squishy pinkies
Gerund: Who needs armor anyways?
Kavan: Those of us who don't stand 60 feet away from the fight.
Tallis: This from the guy hiding the whole fight.
Lodin raises an eyebrow to Tsurras 'pinky' comment, again.
Kavan laughs
Lodin: Easy there lizard breath.
GM: So... what if anything is Kavan doing with the skeleton that was carrying the holy symbol?
Tsurras: Its a term of endearment
Campaign saved.
Estavir tries the armor on
Tsurras: but really, its just meant for you humans...
Estavir seem to take it as given that it belongs to him now
Liquidmantis (Kavan): other than final rites?
GM: Oh by the way, 132xp each for that encounter.
Kavan: I think we should bury the clerics remains.
Gerund: I was useful. My flamey bally thing was awesome.
Lodin: Lets grab the loot and the body and head back upstairs. I feel as the final member of the Kalton family I need to let my family's guardian's ghost rest.
Lodin unwraps his bedroll and scoops up the skeleton and starts heading towards the stairs.
Tsurras follows lodin
Estavir: follows Kavan, remembering with fondness how he was saddened he might die
Kavan: You guys mind if I hang on to the holy symbol?
Tsurras: isnt it a symbol of pelor?
Tallis: We should probably bury all of the corpses down there.
Kavan: Someone else might be able to make better use of the belt.
Tsurras: I mean, I dont mind, but...uh...well...you not switchin unions are ye?
Estavir: a fitting treasure for the mighty ranger and the . . . um . . . his sidekick!
GM: It's a symbol of all the Good aligned gods
Lodin lays the skelton on the ground near the passage way and motions to Kavan.
Kavan: Would he want to be buried here? Perhaps there's a family cemetary on the grounds.
Gerund: I would be in favor of burrying them appropriately
Tsurras: Good Point
Lodin: Here. Well, no. I don't know what you clerics do for your rituals
Campaign saved.
GM: Long story short - you find a suitable burial place just outside the Manor.
Lodin: Don't you just mutter some words to your God and the skelton may glow a little and then...be put to rest?
GM: It takes you a few hours to move what human corpses you can salvage from the battle
Lodin is noticeably not a holy type or aligned to any deity.
GM: Kavan, once they're buried, you do the rites?
Haiku (Estavir): holds your pants up
Lodin examines the belt, but motions off to Tsurras.
Lodin: Won't do me well.
Kavan begins chanting and making motions over the grave of the cleric.
GM: OK, Tsurras will take the Ironskin belt, the holy symbol goes to Kavan, the leather armor ends up on the ranger.
Gerund helps
Estavir "helps"
GM: As you perform last rites over their burial ground:
Nosferatu (Tallis): LOL how did the ranger end up with the leather armor again?
The ghost appears a final time, but seems to waver as if in a stiff breeze. "You have good hearts, and I thank you. I will tell you what I know of the Treasure of Kalton Manor, but I hope to Pelor you never find it. Lord Kalton's vision led us to dig beneath the castle's foundation. Truly the black crystal we found should be named Kalton's Bane, for it was his downfall.
Tsurras grabs the polearm before everybody skeedaddles
Haiku (Estavir): he put it on and then acted like it was his, confident nobody would challenge him
Nosferatu (Tallis): yeah the rogues are just likely to peel it off his dead corpse, when he suddenly dies in his sleep.
Campaign saved.
Shortly after it was found, the lizardmen attacked. They came from the dark river beneath the castle. Lord Kalton and I held them off, and I performed the cermony to hold them in the cavern after he fell. I believe the children - and the crystal - escaped. I thank you again for freeing my soul to rest in the light of Pelor. I can only pray the children of Kalton found safety from the crystal's curse."
Estavir is confident everyone is impressed enough by him to not kill him
Nosferatu (Tallis): so Pelor is the slut god, he gets around alot?
Kavan -> Skill [History] [10] [1d20-7 = 10]
GM: Father Malkin
Lodin: Fear not, champion. I am proof that the children of Kalton did indeed find safety from the crystal's curse. I only hope now we can find the crystal and destroy it forever.
Kavan: Rest in peace, good father.
GM: He sacrificed himself to stop the lizardmen there, beneath the Manor, while the children got away
4dSwissCheese (Gerund): I still don't know Lodin is spouting BS, do I?
Tsurras wipes a single, solitary tear...Lodin is a man among men...
GM: Only Kavan knows? I think Tallis also succeeded on the Insight check
King Mob: (POLL) Fast forward back to fallcrest?
GM: OK, let's assume you go to the Nentir Inn looking for Guy Damrosch.
Estavir teabagged it
Guy Damrosch is no longer at the Nentir Inn, the innkeeper tells you. "He's moved to his new offices. Near the Five-Arch Bridge, they are. Oh, and he left a message for you as well - said for you to inquire at the Chapterhouse of Avandra for the rest of your payment."
GM: And then I'll assume you went to the Chapterhouse:
Gerund: Yup
Maester Robold greets you. "Congratulations - I assume you found the object of your quest. The merchant left his payment and a note for you with me." He hands your group a pouch of gold and a small parchment note.
Campaign saved.
Liquidmantis (Kavan): I imagine Estaiver will make a dragon suit and run around yelling, "Look! I'm Tsurras!"
GM: 120gp
Tsurras: A note?
My apologies for not having met you in person to receive your report, but I am very busy these days - changes to the office, and so on. Please send me a note if you think you have something from Kalton Manor I might be interested in. Otherwise, I thank you for your time.
GM: 600 xp for finishing a major quest - 100xp each
Gerund: I vote to keep the whole ghost, curse thing information to a minimum in our report to him
Kavan: Lodin, should we take you to your... uncle?
GM: There are also other things you can do in town, but we'll deal with that later.
Lodin: Rather not. It's been a while since I've seen him and last time did not end well.
Lodin: When the time is right....
Gerund: Then...if not from your uncle, then how did you find us?
GM: We'll continue - or at least some of us? will continue on Tuesday with the prep session for Shadows of Witchlight II, Kalton's Bane
Haiku (Estavir): is going to bed
Haiku (Estavir): nite all!
Gerund -> Taking Extended Rest
Lodin: Family history books and accounts from other relatives. Don't worry yourself with this. It's time to rest from this adventure.
Tallis -> Taking Extended Rest

Liquidmantis (Kavan): Good night!
Campaign saved.
Lodin pats Gerund on the shoulder reassuredly and heads out the Chapterhouse.
Kavan heads to the temple of Avandra to get rest.
