Session 0.4: Dabbling in Daggerford Report

General Summary

The next morning, eager to set things straight with the Innkeeper, Devlin, the half-elf, takes it upon the team to accept a favor of hers.   

"One of the guild leaders is having… issues, concerning the Pitor mines, and the man is too proud to ask for outside help. Shipments have apparently stopped and no reliable information has reached him--either that or he won't reach out. Anyway, if you all can bring some clarity to the situation, I will be more than happy to pay you for your services." As Devlin departs, she adds: "Oh! And if you happen to see a book bound in red leather, be so kind as to bring it to me. It is a Guild item and is too dangerous to be scavenged by some lowly bandits."

As the party moves towards their new goal, they spend the day shopping for supplies and come across a few interesting items. Roaring and ready the next morning, the group quietly exit the front gate of Daggerford, and head out towards the Pitor Mines.  An uneventful 6-hour trek leads them to the dauntingly quiet mouth of the cave. They head inside, and find nothing, and no one, until Orion spots a Gnoll in hiding, and they get into the first of what they expect to be a larger battle. This single Gnoll ended up committing suicide to avoid the chance of being captured, and they encounter nothing else for a while.  Coming upon an intentionally carved out room in the structure, Aurum sees two Dwarven miners bound and gagged. The miners indicate that there is something wrong, and Aurum picks up on this, carefully moving in the direction of the danger. Pretty soon, a Gnoll Pack Lord and 3 Gnolls spring into action, and a fight breaks out.      A wild shape and spells slung later and the Gnolls are dead on the floor. Transforming back, Orion sets off an Earth Tremor to deal with the reinforcements coming and triggers a collapse. In the midst of rocks falling, he grabs a couple of interesting things the Gnolls had rounded up, and they book it out of there with the surviving Dwarves. Escape is only slightly impeded by a few Gnolls that get in their way, but through combination attacks, the party dispatches them with ease.      They make it out, and the ride home is as uneventful as the trek in.
