Session 7 "Family Reunion" Report

General Summary

During the night and after their recent escape from the cave the party begins to tend to their wounds and rest as best they can. Lillyanna Moonbreeze  and Slinger move off from the camp to watch the entrance to the cavern in case they were followed as Gunther stands guard.     Meanwhile from the swamps emerges a young dwarf.  Seeing the camp he approaches to investigate.   Lilyanna and Slinger hearing movement coming from the cave move to investigate.  They soon find that a small group of undead creatures have emerged and are looking for prey.  Calling out to there fellows they attempt to set an ambush to catch the creatures unaware.   Seeing the group fly into movement the dwarf approaches to make himself known.  Gunther moves towards him thinking it a possible enemy attempting to split the party's attention.  The two soon have words but as Lilyanna is struck by a pair of zombies she cries for help.  Gunther instructs to dwarf to stay at the camp and runs to his fellows aid.  The dwarf follows in disregard to the large dragonborn's instruction.   The party soon begins to dispatch the undead that had emerge.  Slinger using some new found abilities to aid his friends.  Seeing the dwarf enter the fray, Gunther orders the party to attack him which seems to confuse his friends.  They soon begin to try and explain to him that the dwarf had just tried to help him.  This doesn't set very well with our large scaley friend and he feels hurt at his friend's mistrust.  The party gathers and learns the dwarf's name to be Kuldak and that he had been sent by Brother Gundar  .  They decide that there mission is not finished and reenter the cavern system to hopefully find the hostages.     Upon entering they soon discover that the undead that they had snuck past earlier had broken free and that the 2 half-ogres were now undead and had joined their ranks.  Moving swiftly the party reacts and begins to fight feverishly.  Kuldak calling upon his god presents his holy symbol and causes the creatures to flee.  The party in awe gives chase and kills the creatures one by one.  As the last falls,  Gunther discovers a grate in the floor.  Finding a key on one of the ogre's bodies they open it to find 2 women and several children.  One of the women, a dwarf brandishes a short sword threatening to slay any who try to harm them.  The party ensures the captives that they are there to rescue them.  The party quickly helps them out of the hole as the two women introduce themselves as Rainan and Ithren, both councilors of Drafalls.  After a short bit of exploration and collecting of treasure the party exits with their new charges.   As the party gets them settled in at their previous camp for the night Gunther begins to patrol the area while Lilyanna and Isaac converse a bit about the notes found previously.  Suddenly the rest of the party falls to sleep and Lilyanna is stunned.  Emerging from the treeline 2 tieflings come.  Isaac immediately recognizes them and seems to be the only one unaffected.  They begin to banter back and forth.  Meanwhile on patrol, Gunther hears the laughter from camp.  Not recognizing it he charges to investigate.  Just as a warning from Isaac finds him he breaks the canopy and is struck by magic felling him.  Kuldak awakens and moves to his aid only to be struck down himself.  With a warning to Isaac the pair leave hastily and he and Lilyanna, now able to move, rush to the two's aide.  As the rest of the party is roused Isaac quickly fills them in and plans are made for travel back to Faribyr
