The Bogeywoman's Cave

Our heroes for this evening were: Meme the (now level 2) half-orc barbarian A bard whose name and race escapes me (level 1) A magic user whose name also escapes me (level 2) And, you guessed it, a dwarf cleric whose name is a mystery (level 1) The party was investigating the Weirdwood forest, a dangerous wood off the edge of town. They had heard rumors of a creature that turns its victims into stone, guarding a magical weapon.  The party first encounters a swarm of strangely coordinated rats, feasting on the mutilated and disgusting corpse of an orc. The rats are scared off, spreading out in a perfect circle after a quick fight. As the party proceeds deeper, they find some orcs taunting a dying snake. By reflex, the magic user kills one of the orcs with a magic missile, causing a quick but deadly battle that the orcs retreat from. Meme takes the snake and tries to patch it up to health. The party finds a pit full of green snakes after the path branches, and recover a 500 GP neck...

Our heroes for this evening were: De the dragonborn thief Lettuce the elf magic-user Gnakia the gnome ranger Jicama the half-orc bard The party enters the Pink Rose bar, the only tavern in the town of Halfway, to meet with Spengis. Spengis is an ex-wizard whose bird familiar lives in his hat and finishes his sentences. He has put up a poster asking for adventurers to clear out a gnomish mansion full of bandits. After a brief argument about payment, Alexa, the bar’s owner, steps in and threatens to cut the heads off of anybody who starts a fight in her bar. Gnakia persuades Alexa that they meant know harm, and using her charms convinces Spengis to raise the payment from 50 GP each to 55 GP each. Spengis tells the party the history of the mansion, saying that “A while back some gnomish aristocrat named Bert had the brilliant idea of constructing a mansion on a necromancer’s property. Well, when the necromancer came on back to find some bearded bourgeousie having stol...

Our heroes for this evening were: Vim the human ranger Lettuce the elf magic-user Meme the half-orc barbarian The party is approached by the Trash Man, a man who wears a trash can like a hermit crab and claims to have been contacted by the god of garbage. He tells them that a nearby ruin contains treasure and goblins, and that the god of garbage told him that they must visit it. He then bumbles off into an alleyway. The party takes his advice and goes to the ruin. They encounter some goblins who were hiding in wooden crates. After a quick battle, they kill 4 of them, taking the last one hostage. Vim decides to leave while he still has all his bits attached. The remaining two adventurers reach a room with a checkerboard pattern for a floor. Lettuce falls through and hurts themselves badly, but is saved by Meme. They continue forward, encountering a band of halfling teenagers who threaten to kill the party to boost their reputation. Meme intimidates them into running off b...
