After saving the lady dwarf from the clutches of the evil wizard, the party escorted her back to her delighted great-grandfather in Mirror Stone.
After re-gearing in the village, the party followed the Harrow River south heading towards the city of Upper Arlen. It seems Mirri the druid received a confusing message from the party's patron, Lady Alessa. According to Alessa, an agent she had arranged to aid the party had disappeared after leaving a cryptic message about her father's death, a priest and Upper Arlen.
On the journey south the party approached the village of Wood Loam and discovered a mystery involving the appearance of two robed figures and the murder of several local farmers.
The trail of the murder led the party to an excavation site where they battled a group of robed cultists (and MURDERED one innocent poor slob enslaved by the cult). Amid the dirt and debris from the dig, the party noticed large slabs of chiseled rock raised from the hole by the slaves forced into back breaking labor by the cult.
Dispatching the cultists in the work camp (and MURDERING one poor innocent slob enslaved by said cultists), the party jumped onto the lift, intending to descend into the hole to take on the rest of the bad guys.
Unfortunately, on the trip down, a gaggle... flock... covey... whatever...of stirges attacked the party. Trying to raise the platform back to the work camp turned out to be quite a chore as the lift shook violently from the stirges' sucky-kissy face attacks.
Finally killing off the last of the stirges and regaining the safety of terra firma, the party decided to lick its wounds and fight another day. Burning the wooden lift and scaffolding, the party collapsed the works into the hole, pissing off the cultists stranded at the bottom of the hole.
Encounters 2 out of 10 (with one weak ass skill challenge thrown in for good measure)
