One More Thing
611 AU, Taurdag (6th day) in the Second Galend of Maruth (day 111 of the year, 3rd day of Wand in the month of the Stag Dragon Isles calendar)
After a couple days on the road the PCs return to Leon where Gwen takes the flowers and the antidote to the College of Light. Principal Baldric Hahn. Principal Hahn accepts the antidote and thanks Gwen for here services to the realm and the betterment of the College of Light. He too provides her with a boon and offers to provide her with some training.
Meanwhile the team is staying at The Whispering Pope across the road from the Order of the Dragon Chapter House. They are concerned about the contents of their saddle bags as well as the swords, and dirk and armour. They keep the armour in a large bag while they try to cover up the swords using mud and twine.
The next day Llied and Clodagh try to exchange the gems and coins and do manage to exchange some of the money into gems. However they also raise suspicions from one of the factions in the local Thieves guild. They are confronted outside of the Hangman's Noose and ultimately kill several of the guild members.
The PCs return to their Inn and try to be not found. In the mean time B'ran Welkan has sent a courier and asked to have the team look into a disturbance at a local village outside of Welkan.
The team quickly departs the next day and finds themselves in the village of Ijbyeit where numerous rumours of children and teens having gone missing over the weeks and months prior.
After resting in one of the villagers hayloft the PCs head out the next day and walk towards the hamlet. The path is not well used and the decades have seen it to be overgrown but the adventurers make their way without too much difficulty and get the outside of the hamlet just before dusk.
As they advance on the abandoned village they see a decrepit stone tower as well as several barn-houses in very bad shape, but they also see a figure lurking behind one of the buildings. Llied and Clodagh pursue the creature while the balance of the team advances toward the tower. Uoret moves out wide of the 'main street' while Flarty and Gwen advance on the main street.
A large and lengthy battle begins with Llied and Clodagh battling a Were Rat and numerous zombies while the others battle a mage on the top of the tower and waves of zombies and ghouls. At one point Llied scales the outside of the tower to try and backstab the mage however as she was approaching she stumbles and falls at the feat of the mage. Eventually Llied gets the better of the mage and kills it, then continues down the stairs to meet up with the others.
The Mage and Gwen had battled and exhausted each others magical powers, meanwhile Flarty and Uoret killed the Zombies and Ghouls. Clodagh succumbing to her wounds required Uoret to go over and see what he could do. It was up to Flarty and Gwen to charge into the tower and see if he could help Llied because they did not know what had happened.
After patching up Clodagh who paused for a moment then downed a cordial to get back some of her Stamina, Uoret rushed off to the tower door to help Flarty. Gwen sent in her cat familiar and it was attacked and killed by a skeleton sending Gwen into shock and collapsing to the ground. Cordial dashed to the door of the tower. Once inside it was revealed to be a close fight with Flarty using his shield to hold back the Skeletons that were climbing up out from the basement of the tower and no one had seen Llied. Eventually they beat back the skeletons and found Llied on the stairwell with a huge gash on her neck and she was bleeding out. Quickly Flarty and Uoret saw to her wounds and the group as a whole rested for 10-15 minutes. Gwen became conscious but was just not the same without here familiar.
At this point Gwen and Llied said they should go into the basement and see what lies below the tower. They PCs went down the stairs and quickly found more skeletons guarding a room. with Flarty bashing his way into the room and Clodagh fighting with her new sword Llied wanted into the fight so she ran down the stairs and leaped over the heads of everyone including the skeletons. Landing behind the skeletons Llied dirk'd them and eventually the team killed all of the skeletons. After searching the room the PCs found nothing but were confident they had removed all of the Undead from this village.
As dusk became night the PC's walked back to the village and arrived just as the moon rose over the trees and most of the villagers had gone to sleep. They did however meet an interesting person who was staggering down the main street with an owl on his shoulder.
