Littleton

Grimould Longfoot
 After an uneventful day's journey, the party arrives at the town of Littleton. This settlement is inhabited by humans and hobbits. At the entrance to Littleton, they are challenged by some of the local militia who are led by Grimold Longfoot. Grimmold is a quirky character who wears a mishmash of household items for armour.  

The party are invited to rest in the Tumbler and Thistle Inn. The inn is cozy and the food is very good. After a long day, Nidal and Kallista decide to get some sleep and Nodrog and Adrahil remain in the common room. 

Nodrog is playing cards and Adrahil is relaxing and observing the crowded room when a bell begins to ring and Grimould enters the room in full "armour" shouting about an attack on Littleton.

Nodrog and Adrahil go out into the street and see large humanoid shapes in the darkness moving towards them - ORCS!!! Adrahil rushes back in the inn to wake up Nidal and Kallista and Nodrog gets ready to fight the orcs. 



The orcs are attacking from both ends of the town and the North as well. The party gets out into the street and a general melee ensures. Nidal takes some heavy hits from a few of the orc warriors. The orcs are tough customers who give as good as they get. Kallista unleashes her magic on the orcs and kills several of them. Meanwhile, Adrahil disappears into the darkness to circle around behind the attacking orcs. 

After some tense combat, the orcs are close to defeat .Adrahil tackles and orc and with the help of the rest of the party manages to subdue it. He interrogates the orc and finds out that the orc raiding party were sent to attack the adventurers and capture the Staff of the Woodlands. Adrahil kills the orc. 

As the party goes back in the inn, they see Grimould dancing on the corpses of the orcs and shouting about "his" victory. 

The party establishes a watch and beds down for the night.

 While the adventurers have been leveling up and recuperating in the city of Statsberg, they have continued to try and track down Nidal's nemesis Nerak. Rumours have reached them that Nerak has been spotted in the Fishgate area of the city. So the adventurers decided to have some dinner at a local tavern and see if they find out more.  They have dinner at the Boar and Hunter tavern and find out from their server that Nerak has indeed been spotted in the area. However, the server can provide no other information. The party decided to visit the Temple of the Light which is across the road from the Boar and Hunter.  Temple is newly constructed and contains the tomb of St. Cecilia. A large congregation is present and Sister Sarah is conducting the service. The adventurers are surprised to find that the sarcophagus of St. Cecilia glows with its own light. When they touch the sarcophagus all nature of injuries are healed. The last remnants of Adrahil's werewolf curse and Nidal'...

The Staff of the Woodlands

  The party has returned to the ship and and is trying to decide how to retrieve the Grim Reaper's treasure from the bottom of the harbour.  A hooded figure stands on the dock and calls to the party. He boards the ship and introduces himself as Aldin an elf of the Realm of the Wilf Woods. He tells the party about orcs attacking the woods and destroying all goodness in the forest. The situation is desperate. Aldin lets the party know that they have a treasure item that could help the forest dwellers in their fight against the orcs - The Staff of the Woodlands.  Aldin asks the party to leave immediately and take the Staff of the Woodlands over the Fang  Mountains to the Wild Woods. Aldin is sure that once the staff is delivered to the Wild Woods the orcs will be defeated.  Aldin tells the best route to the woods is not along the river, but overland by way of Littleton and Stone Keep.  The party are reluctant to leave on this errand. Some of the party do not t...

 After a filling breakfast, the party saddles up and gets back on the road to the Wild Wood. The King's Road winds its way through stretches of fields and farms. The weather is pleasant and there a no signs of orcs or other dangers.  Adrahil notices some smoke rising over the next hill. The party immediately prepares for battle. Adrahil and Nodrog sneak forward and crawl up the hill. Adrahil and Nodrog see that the smoke is coming from the camp fire of a small caravan. They move back to the party to let them know what they have seen.  The party decides to approach the caravan. The caravan is understandable concerned when the y see the party of grizzled adventurers approaching. However, they eventually invite the party to share their fire and food.  Just as they are sitting down, there is a commotion behind some of the wagons.
