PCs: Causticas the elf, F2/MU2 Korin Clubfoot, dwarf, F3 Dodecatheon, MU3 SESSION REPORT:     After the dangerous encounters of the group's previous attempt to reach Orlane, they employed 3 horsemen to accompany them in their journey.

They met the mayor and he informed them that the village's population is declining. Many villagers just abandon their houses without having notify someone prior, leaving a message that they have to visit a distant cousin or something like that.

One option was to visit the Temple of Elemental Evil to make sure that there is not any more cultists' activity, in case that the cleric's gang was part of it. Another one came through the interrogation of some of the cleric's goons. They revealed that they had first met and joined forces with Lorath in a village known as Orlane.

He was afraid that if the enemy learned of their intentions through his spies he would flee, so he asked them not to say a word, besides a few trustworthy adventurers (if there such adventurers) and take the matter in their own hands. They agree to attack the Moathouse and they take with them Causticas who proved his worth in the previous expedition, a dwarf named Korin Clubfoot and a magic-user known as Dodecatheon, both of them newcomers to the village. They will also be accompanied by 3 of Burne's soldiers.     At Coldeven 1st then, they head under as much secrecy as they can to the Moathouse.

While everything seems normal and quiet, Burne, the local mage who runs the village alongside his comrade Rufus, investigates some of the loot that a party brought from the Moathouse and realises that it has the marks of the cultists who infested the area in the past. Not only that, but the group of adventurers that were investigating it, never returned from the last expedition. So he talks to the local militia leader Jonathan, the father of Elmo the ranger who was with that group in their fateful last journey and tasks him to find adventurers to be sent at the Moathouse.     Jonathan, worried about his son, employs Urikas' brother Causticas and also Jack, a newcomer fighter looking for gold and glory.

PCs: Urikas the elf, F1/MU1 Zyla the eld, C1 SESSION REPORT:     A week of rest passed for the party and at Reading 18 they were ready to go back to the Moathouse. The three hirelings that assisted them in the previous expedition wouldn't join them because Grengag offered them a high paid easy job and they should leave immediately to take it. They thank them for the cooperation and bid the party farwell. However, Grengag offers them 3 new hirelings to accompany them, this time for free. Samwich would stay behind to help some local farmers.     So, Urikas, Zyla, Spugnoir, Elmo, Furnok and the three hirelings arrive at the dungeon. After they explore a few rooms they are ambushed by bandits and the 3 hirelings that were there to help them, betrayed them and joined forces with the attackers. The party manages to defeat them and returns to the village to heal.     A week passes, the group searches for new hirelings and nobody came up. Hommlet is a small village after all. So at Reading

They take with them all their previous henchmen plus 3 hirelings that the local trader, Grengag offered to them. In the Moathouse they venture at the lower level where they fight numerous monsters, like giant rats, bugbears and an ogre. However a fallen portcullis traps them in the dungeon. Thanks to the many members of the expedition however, they manage to find the secret door where the handle to lift the portcullis were.     Searching a little more, they managed to find and rescue two human prisoners. They were merchants and thanked the party for the rescue. They promise to send them a hand

PCs: Urikas the elf, F1/MU1 Samwich Baggins, halfling, T1 SESSION REPORT:     Once again, the party needed to spent one week resting before they will be able to adventure. Zyla decided to help the local temple of St. Cuthbert. Spugnoir who almost died but was saved by the PCs, reveals that he joined the party because he heard rumours that a warlock lives in the Moathouse and he was interested in magic items that he could have.     The local trader offers 4 hirelings to come along to the party's adventures at a good price. So, at Reading 6th the party heads back to the Moathouse. There however they met a strong resistance from a group of brigands. One hireling perished and since the group had some injuries, they retreated back to Hommlet.     Aaaaaaaand that was it for that session! :P LOOT AND KILLS: Loot: 136 gp 50 gp worth necklace Kills: 6 brigands 1 sergeant THOUGHTS ABOUT THE SESSION:     As you can see, this was the smaller session.

The leaders of the village, Rufus and Burne, agree to keep the groups evergrowing treasures safe at their keep for as long as they continue to raid the Moathouse. They are also approached by the local trader who offers to sell them his products at half price if they promise to pay the rest throught their loot.     At Fireseek 27th, the party visits the Moathouse once more. In the yard they kill 4 giant rats but besides them, they don't find any resistance in the ground floor. So they head to the stairs that lead to the lower level.      As they descend they trigger a glyph of warding. It doesn't cause much damage but it did a lot of noise. They are concerned that someone might heard it but still, they continue. After a while they reach a dead end but with a closer investigation they find some

PCS: Urikas the elf, F1/MU1 Samwich Baggins, halfling, T1 Zyla the elf, C1 SESSION REPORT:     Since Samwich lost consiousness during the last expedition in the Moathouse, the party needed a week to rest at least, before they continue their adventures. At the small village of Hommlet, a new adventurer arrived, a female elven cleric named Zyla. She joined the party.     During the week that the party was resting, the leaders of the village, Rufus and Burne interrogated the bandits that the group brought back from the Moathouse. They summoned the party, awarded them 100 gp each for their services and told them that the bad guys were working for an evil wizard who lived in a dungeon under the Moathouse. They promised them more gold as a reward if they were willing to investigate it more.      Indeed, on Fireseek 19th, our party now aided by Zyla, returned to the Moathouse. They searched the ground floor of it carefully. They found a lot of loot, however they also found a giant snake and a
