Our story begins in Wydmoor Free City on the 28th day of Wintercusp in the year 1400 FI. A group of travelers, all recent arrivals to the city, are summoned by Captain Odenthorpe, who offers them a lucrative, yet discreet, job opportunity. Shortly thereafter, Kimika, a long time resident of the city, joins the party under an assumed name and joins the quest.

All along the woods edge are stationed masonry structures filled with axes and barrels of oil. - The gnome stayed with the Important Quest NPCs and acted as bodyguard while everyone else investigated The Mystery. They may or may not have chatted: there are no gnomes in Petara so no doubt they were curious. - Gnome was introduced to one of Edrell's men, who has become attached to the party to lead the investigation, but did not have contact beyond introductions.

Final GM message
I had a great time! I hope you all did, too. Excellent role play all around, especially the most recent briefing with Edrell. Excellent job with the Scag, as well, I'm proud of ya'll! That battle was no joke (CR 5), and for the first time all of the players really hit their niche on the battle field, to say nothing of some key actions in the clutch. He had a base +9 to hit, with 3 attacks (d6+6x2, d6+3) with close to 70 hitpoints and 5 regen and was a CR5 encounter. When all was said and done, he'd regenerated something like 70 hit points, along with the 70 you'd done to take him to 0. Mattie was literally 1 round from being Flat Out Dead. Our Role Playing Winner this week was Travis, especially for his interaction with Edrell. A well earned 10 percent. As always, if you were there for it, you get it. If not, you don't. So, Matt Allen gets heavy XP on the front end, while Jason gets the back end stuff. General Awards: Defeating the Pillars and Misanthropy (Poison Plant) : 125 XP [End of last session/Beginning of this session] Gil and Holm - Bought To Justice : 100 XP [End of last session/Beginning of this session] Return Contracts to Lawful Authority: 200 XP Scrag : 350 XP Player Awards: Clutch Bubbles (Sarah) : 20 xp Troll Killer (Sarah) : 20 xp Troll Anthropology (Daniel) : 20 xp Dwarves Drive Hard Bargains (Mattie) : 15 xp Penalties: Where's the body?!? : -25 XP The following Achievements have been earned. Please refer to the spreadsheet to add your name and collect XP. (Remember, bonus XP for RP, etc, does not apply to achievments) D&D B&E: Sarah, Daniel (50 XP) ADDITIONALLY: Since you were able to pull the Scrag to shore, you were able to recover the following from a [CR 5 STANDARD LOOT DROP - RANDOM] X vials of trolls blood (where X = the number of vials the party has on their persons.) He is wearing a COPPER RING (83) and a GOLD RING WITH AMBER SETTINGS (95) on a leather thong that both radiate magic. In a large, rotten haversack he has a MEDIUM, NON-DWARVEN HUMANOID sized suit of GARGOYLE HIDE PLATE (44), along with 5892 silver pieces, a Pink Pearl (55), a hunk of Polished Obsidian (1), and a freshwater pearl (7).Essentially:
- 840 for Sarah
- 820 for Daniel
- 765 for Mattie
- 750 for Everyone else there the entire time. (Partial for those only there for part of the game, sorry didn't figure it out.)

Final GM message
If you were there for it, you get it. 50% reduction if you were learning through observation rather than experience. No significant treasure was gained. Defeat the Bandit Ambush!: 384 xp Order: Capture the Interlopers! : 30 xp Swing Vote : 25 xp Friend of the Halflings : 10 xp I forgot the votes again! Please priviate mail it to me while the memory is fresh! Also, check to see if you made any achievements! I do believe this might make a couple of you ding? If so, do your homework BEFORE gametime if we're going to be calling games early. ;) Get the ball rolling on submitting your WHEN IS GOOD!
That's 449 total XP.
