 ==== Summary ====
-We start this session off in Elmer’s home. Cal-El showed his broken sword to Elmer in such a way as to indicate he wanted to know if Elmer might have a replacement he could acquire. Elmer went into another room and brought back a bundle which he rolled out on the floor. Within it was a Short Sword, Short Bow, Girdle, and a Wand. He told us that this was what he had left of the equipment he recovered from his former party. After a little discussion and the casting of an identify spell, we learned that the Wand was a Wand of Petrification. The Short Sword was a Short Sword of Quickness +2. The Short Bow was a +2 Short Bow. And the Girdle was a Girdle of Hill Giant Strength. Cal-El took the Girdle and a Elven Short Sword +1 that Eryn had. Eryn took the Short Sword of Quickness and the Short Bow +2, Angelique took Cal-=El’s Long Bow +1, and Symon took the Wand. The company spent another full day and a night there helping Elmer and Emma get pack and prepare to head south. Angelique prepared some snacks and meals for the road for them. On the morning of the3 third day that they were at his home, Elmer and Emma set out South. The Company decided to go north to Stonebridge. They needed to get a feel for what was going on up here, especially with regards to the goblins and the so called goblin army.

-They set out north. The first day was uneventful and that evening found them another half days ride from Stonebridge so they set up a camp and spent a rainy night off the road. The next morning they continued north to Stonebridge. Around noon, they came across a bridge that had seen better days. It had not been traveled on much recently and four towers that framed it were all dilapidated and rotting. They were careful but encountered no traps or problems crossing it. They moved further up the road and came to the Two Tails Taverm. There was activity inside and a couple of horses outside. The building across the street was collapsed while the one north of that appeared to be okay and had a smoke coming from the chimney. Cal-El checked the horses as thew group moved towards the door. There were no indications of the wyvern patches.

-As they entered and found several patrons and a gentleman that seemed to be running the place. Elmer had told them this man would be Lucas. As they came in, the room grew hushed and the people all turned to see the newcomers. The gentleman working approached the Company, and kind of ran off the few people at the biggest table. He asked if we wanted anything. He provided Tea and eventually some potato soup. Symon got a chance to ask some questions. When asked if he was Lucas, he was surprised but Symon told him that Elmer had told us that Lucas would be running the place. He was untrusting as Symon threw out the Elmer’s name so he tested us to see if we really knew Elmer by asking us his wife’s name. Angelique told hi it was Emma and he seemed to relax some after that. He told them a little about the goings on around town, about a woman that had come here looking for this party, and how a local thug, Roger, and his men grabbed her and took her away. While discussing this, Sergeant Harris came into the tavern, bloodied and weak, and collapsed into Cal-El who gently laid him down. Angelique stableized him and Cal-El put an portion of his extra healing  potion into him and he revived and seemed more with it.

-He explained that after we left Frosthaven, Sir Evan got with Warden Blackmore and asked him to release the prisoners that were being held because the used magic. The Warden sent Theo in to get them. He returned and told Blackmore that they were all dead, blaming their deaths on Mott. Sir even issued the order to arrest everyone but was attacked and killed by Theo and his merry men. Apparently he had paid off most of the guards and they joined him in trying to remove the leadership and killing or imprisoning anyone that opposed him. Lieutenant Wright and a few men escaped south. Harris and a few men headed north. They tried to circle around to the south but were ambushed again and injured. He fled north after that. He was looking for the Company to catch up to them and get their help. While Lucas was getting the food, a couple of the men in the tavern left. They ate some and then a rock came through the window. A man came in and told us that’s Roger needed to see them outside. That was all of the party you and Sergeant Harris. He told us the place was surrounded and there was no escape. Eryn foot the count of those outside. We decided to go outside and see what they had to say. They did, Eryn had an arrow notched and ready but kept the bow pointing downward. Symon thought any dialog might help us to know what is going on around here.

-As they all lined up outside, the leader of the group spoke up and told them his name was Rioger and that this was his town. The Theo now held Frosthaven. He told them that Theo wanted them back in Frosthaven and that we were to drop our weapons, a low them to tie us up and escort us back to Frosthaven. Eryn cut the conversation short by firing at Roger. Unfortunately, she missed. A fight broke out and the party was rushed by Roger’s men, 7 in total. It took a few moments but the Company out down 6 men. A seventh escaped and so did Roger. The party found out that Roger was hold up in an old hotel on the east side of town, near the docks. Symon cast invisibility on Eryn and she went down the road to check the place out. She couldn’t get a look inside as the windows were all either dirty or boarded up. There was smoke coming from a chimney on the west side of the building. She returned to the rest of the group and told them what she saw. Hey moved east behind the buildings facing the road from the south. Eryn went down thew road and met them near the Grimm Brothers Apothecary, Proprietors Fred, Freddie, and Fredrick. Fredrick’s name had a red “X” over it.

-Cal-El indicated that maybe Eryn should checkout the docks. She moved down there and as she approached the fence surrounding the docks, she stopped to check for a trap and found on. It was a trip wire that reach all the way back to the two trees behind her. Meanwhile, Angelique and Symopn entered the apothecary after hearing   a minor explosion and the sound of glass breaking, followed by some sort of heated discussion going on inside. They found two identical gnomes having this discussion. They stopped after a seeing that they had customers and introduced themselves. They seemed confused as to which was Fred and which was Freddie. Floor them, they learned that Roger and his crew to hang out in the old hotel across the road from them. They learned that Roger doesn’t like them. He doesn’t come into their shop.

-They learn that Fredrick went just outside the north part of town and into the woods to find some spider silk for a potion they were making that would turn rocks into chickens. They’d plan on replacing the missing chickens that way. The explosion they’d heard before entering had something to do with using spider web instead of spider silky. The spider web wasn’t a strong enough binder. He had gone searching for the spider silk but hadn’t come back after about a week. They continually asked if Symon would be willing to go find him and opf freed a reward. They eventually asked about buying some healing potions. They didn’t have any money between them so Angelique negotiated a deal where she traded the singed winter wolf pelt for 5 potions of extra healing. After that, they asked if Fred or Freddie happened to know Tinkle or his associate, Barry. They didn’t know them. Symon and Angelique left the shop. Angelique gave Xor, Cal-El, Symon, and herself each one of the potions. She held the other for Eryn.
