[As you may remember the adventurers Griffolk Ethyn the Dragon-Shaman, Sparkledingle the Gnome Wizard, Fangorino the Barbarian and Oriuphis the Druid had been back at the Moathouse and had a violent encounter with a gang of bugbears.
Also - a minor point, but I may have said Fangorino wields a falchion in the past. This is, I have been informed, incorrect. He carries a Great Axe. ]
DAY 5
Once more our heroes returned to the Moat House, and made their way all the way down to the door where they had fought the armed men.
There was a guard at the top of the corridor, watching out for intruders.
'They're back!' he shouted as he ran off, closing the door behind him.
Fangorino simply applied his axe to the door and chopped it down. At the next door Oriuphis cast Wood Shape and it fell to the floor in pieces.
The corridor beyond the ruined door was full of armed men (wearing black tabards with a golden eyes of fire emblem on the front) and skeletal warriors (in fact the raised dead of the men they had killed earlier) and they immediately attacked.
Griff used his flame breath attack to good affected in the confined area and Oriuphis summoned a crocodile into the enemies ranks.
Sparkledingle was hanging back, but two guards charged past the melee to get at him.
He cast glitterdust to make his escape from their evil clutches. More glitter and more crocodiles followed and one by one the enemies were slain until the last one was picked off with a crossbow bolt fired by Sparkledingle.
Some had fallen back, into the chambers beyond the entrance. There was also a cleric here, and as they approached he demanded;
'Begone! You do know not with what forces you meddle with! You are offending our dark lord Sertritous!'
They gave him short shrift though and pressed on, slaying the last of the guards and then the cleric himself with a combination of Grease and summoned wolves.
Once they had got their breath back, the heroes search the cleric's chamber. They found a letter that the cleric had been writing;
''
My Master,
I write to inform you of the latest developments in the Moat House. As expected we have been attacked by agents of Cavu the Cursed. They have so far not been of any serious threat.
A scout recently returned from the other side, and his report was not good.
I venture to say that the devil brew tavern needs to be kept in line, they are causing trouble again with their mischief and I would suggest sending a company of Golden Eyes to keep things in hand there.
There is other better news, the new dungeon is very nearly complete. Zallater has earned his bonus...
