SESSION RECAP:
After a month of training, the group is ready to march towards the temple once again and collect Lorath's reward. They take many henchmen with them, a cleric among them and they reach the temple on Coldeven 17. They search a few more rooms and soon enough they find themselves fighting an evil cleric and a strong hydra statue of 5 heads. The monster was extremely strong and wiped out almost all of the henchmen. Korin, Mia and Norbor barely managed to withdraw with one more henchman and retreated back to Scant.
They inform Lorath about the strong enemies that they faced and he offers them some henchmen of his own to assist the party. So after a few weeks of healing, the party with the Scarlet Brotherhood men head back to the temple. They quickly kill the cleric and manage to retrieve the book that they were looking. However the hydra statue was proven once more an unbeatable opponent. Mia, Norbor, Korin and only one henchman managed to escape. They got the job done however and when they came back to Scant, Lorath was very happy with their success and gave them the reward that was promised, 10000 gp.

THOUGHTS AFTER THE SESSION:
The party didn't destroy the statue and couldn't loot the whole dungeon but they got the job done! This will be proven very helpful for the Scarlet Brotherhood and they will see the consequences in the future!
Also the party managed to escape the first level and now they are growing stronger. They will be ready to try even better and more ambitious things in the future!
Plus, this the time to give one of the most important tips that I will keep from running the campaign so far: use google docs! If you noticed, after the Session 12 Recap the loot descriptions is less detailed. That's because I have stopped using a google doc to keep track of it. We play via discord and owlbear and I always post in a specific channel of our server the loot that they collected. Since they take note of it immediately, I didn't need to write them down. However that meant that soon enough I didn't have any idea of what magic items they have or what was the amount of money they have collected.
A few sessions from the one that I am describing now, I created a google doc for their inventory. It's great because not only I know what they have (not that it matters, I don't try to create challenges according to their items or strengths) and most importantly THEY KNOW. They can spent time looking at their items and choosing what they can use in the adventure, allowing them to collectively organise their efforts better.
Also I created a google doc for their henchmen. Until then I was using the notes in my notebook with many of them hiding among monsters hp that I had to reduce four or five times after the group's attacks. I won't hide that many times I couldn't find the hp of a henchman they used the last 2 sessions and I rolled it once again. Now with the google doc that I have created however, I am always ready to use them and they can also see what their henchmen can do, allowing them to strategically place them in the party's marching order.
Anyway, mission accomplished for the party! But they have many more things to do in Scant, as you are about to find out...
