Adventure 1 - Tomb Robbers!

Having arrived back in Amberglen, Our now wiser team of Adventurers Naturally head for the nearest Inn. Sitting in one corner of the Inn, is Caryn Boltan, he has some locals standing over him trying to sell him something, but he's having none of it. Whilst he is busy, the party proceed to get drunk, with cokkie passing out, whilst he is uncoscious, a local pickpocket tries his luck, but the party spot him. He runs but slips on the beer covering the floor, goes over and smashed his head on the stone step. The towns soldiers in the bart, see this, but simply move him out of the way, and resume their drinking.   Shorlty afterwards he adjourns to his room, and the party follow him, Barging their way into his room. Eventually after persuading him that they are not there to rob him, he talks to them. He explains that he is from The great library of Kinthey, and shows a letter of introduction Caryn Boltan - Letter of introduction. Caryn searches for ancient jewellery for the library, and has hear of an old tomb in the forest 2 days north, he can't go himself, as it's in elven lands, and techincally he would be stealing, and a group of goblins has taken over the tomb. The party don't seem worried about this at all, and ask for directions. He then show party a rough map, and explains how to get there.
The Party spend 3 days getting there, after passing the path into the forest, and having to retrace their tracks, although Aspen was lucky enought o discover some Aloe, a Healing herb. Ahead they spot smoke, and as they approach goblin voices arguing, Sneaking closer, they see 2 goblins arguing behind a fallen tree trunk, behind which is a large stone opening. Having decided they will sneak up on the goblins, the party gets much closer, Until cookie steps on a branch, and the goblins whirl around, By then its too late, K'Thraak back stabs one, Aspen hits one, and cookie charges the other, Whilst Jeanne raises the parties spirtis with a rousing song. One goblin goes down, and the other viciously stabs cookie, before shouting an alarm and being killed himself. The party Looks down the passageway, and Aspen spots More goblins, straw beds, a bonfire, and an Orc in the gloom. Aspen ties a rag around one of his arrows, and with an incredible display of marksmanship, shoots it through the bonfire, lighting it, and into the straw behind, setting fire to the bedding. The goblins and orc stay put however, returning fire with their own arrows. The party then charge down the corridor, and after a brief fight, in which cookie, and K'thraak get injured, the room is cleared. Jeanne then uses her magic to cure the wounds, before searching the Rest of the tomb. The tomb is filthy, the tomb rooms themselves have been used as latrines. All the rooms and corridors are covered in Carved stone reliefs, of Elves fighting Drow. In the eastern most tomb, there is a different carving a cleric with mace And shield, and an eleven ranger face off against a drider, above them in the clouds sits a godlike figure with a sword in one hand, and an hourglass in the other. On the shield is writing which seems to float and move around, K'thraak and Jeanne manage to decipher a riddle with their knowledge of magic. It reads     "2 bodies have I,   though both found in 1,   the more I stand still   the quicker I run"   Jeanne Realises this relates to the carved Houglass near the ceiling, and K'thraak After trying to push and pull the Hourglass, turns it, revealing a secret passage in the corridor behind them. This passageway ends in a huge stone door, K'thraak tries to open the door, Jeanne yells trap, but too late, as A massive stone block falls from the ceiling, K'thraak's lightning quick reflex saves him and he avoid being crsuhed. The K'thrakk opens the door, Revealing the real tomb. A large room, two stone sarcophagi are on either side of the room, and a large statue of the figure depicted in the clouds stands to the north, with a large metal bowl in front of it. Unbeknown to the party an armour clad Skeleton stands behind the statue, waiting to attack any who touch the Sarcophai or Offering bowl. K'thraak Naturally as an inqusitive Rat-folk Rogue tries to open a sarcophagi, and the Tomb Guardian attacks. In a particarly Vicious fight, the Guardian nearly kills K'thrakk, with a massive swing of it's halberd.,sending him to the floor bleeding to death. Only the last healing spell of jeanne manage to prevent K'thraak's Untimely demise. Eventually after a prolonged fight, with hit after hit just bouncing off the armoured skeleton, cookie finally lands a hue blow, breaking through armour, rib cage, and even snapping the spine of the skeletal warrior.
The party Wait for K'thrakk to recover, before looting the tomb of its Jewellery and magical Treasures and start the return journey to Amberglen. Looking through the jewellery, jeanne notices of the pieces is either broken or part of something larger.
Upon Arriving at Amberglen, they head straight for the Amberglen Inn, and see Caryn Boltan, They approach him, and sell all their new found Jewellery, for a very good profit, twice what they could have got elsewhere. whils the party is dividing up their new found loot, Caryn Boltan heads out the door, and jumps on a horse. Eagle eyed K'thrakk and Jeanne spot his purse on the ground where he mounted the horse, on opening it, they see all jewellery except the strange piece........
