Adventure 2 – Return to Mournestead
As they slowly traverse the plains on their way back to the
village, Ildore and the wounded Krud meet Brother Gilbert of the Brotherhood of
Night. While he is healing the Warrior, Gilbert explains that he is travelling
to Mournestead to preach and convert (with extreme prejudice) some of the local
sinners. In return for the Healing spell, the twain agree that the Cleric will
join them for the remainder of the trip. The party approach the forest East of
the village as the day comes towards an end…
1.
A short way into the forest the group encounters
a party of 4 orcs. In the ensuing melee Krud kills one Orc, Gilbert dispatches
three of them, with his Mace of Righteousness, whilst Ildore is once again wounded.
The Cleric bandages Ildore as Krud searches the bodies for loot. 8 GP are found
on the Orcs; Krud splits them with Gilbert. They move on…
2.
Halfway through the forest the party runs into a
gang of 5 brigands who demand money with menaces. Krud and the Cleric attack
the nearest two thugs; Ildore fires off his last Fireball spell. Two brigands
are down but the fireball turns out to be a damp squib and fizzles off into the
trees, temporarily stunning a weasel. The remaining men momentarily waiver, but
not for long. Krud and Ildore take down their next opponents whilst Gilbert
fights on with the band’s leader who eventually succumbs to the blows of his
mace. 6 GP are distributed amongst the slain, and quickly pocketed by our
heroes.
3.
Near the Western edge of the wood the party meet
12 argumentative Gnomes who are out gathering mushrooms. Brother Gilbert starts
singing a Psalm and the diminutive mushroom pickers scatter.
The forest comes to an end and
the party of travellers see the lights of Mournestead in the distance and appreciate
the fact that they have survived another adventure.
