Kythorn 10, 1491 DR
It wasn't long before the sounds in the trees and bushes around the PCs indicated that the ghouls were closing in. Finder and Keeper moved up into trees while Ara (In Dire Wolf form) took up position hidden in bushes near the road. Nash moved into the shadows south of the camp readying his bow while Farooq worked frantically to put on his armor. Over half a dozen ghouls exploded from the bushes near the camp and from north across the road - rushing towards Farooq and the camp fire. 2 sneaked up from behind and attacked Nash (Who got to use his new sword to good effect.)
Soon the ghouls and their leader (A ghast) were defeated and their bodies were burned. Investigating the area showed a bloody gore strewn ruin area north of the road where the ghouls had their lair. Some treasure was gained and Farooq gained a magical shield. In the morning they soon were off to Conyberry. The day was overcast and cool - good weather for traveling. Soon they arrived at the ruined town and followed a trail into the nearby forest that led them to the lair of Agatha, the Banshee. Entering her brier domed lair, they were greeted by a floating phantom of an elven maiden who looked intent on destroying the PCs for their intrusion. Some soothing talk from Ara and the offer of the elven comb purchased the answer sister Garael was seeking about Bowgentle's spellbook. She begrudgingly answered the PC's questions about undead at the Old Owl Well and was not able to tell them much.
Wyvern Tor could be seen in the distant hills from Conyberry and the PCs decided they would investigate the orc problem next. It was harder travel through the rugged hills and after some scouting, the lair of the Orcs was soon found. One guard was posted outside the cave entrance and Ara had the idea to trick the orc into a trap. Well, that worked like a charm and soon the Orc was chasing after Ara right into the ambush of the rest of the PCs. They defeated the orc and tied him up to be interrogated.
