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.

Stone Keep - Arrival

 The party arrives at Stone Keep. After paying the entry tax and tying the bands of peace on their swords, daggers and other weapons, they enter the town and part ways with the caravan.   It is close to dinner time so the party decides to find an inn. The gate guard directs them to the Weary Traveler.  After seeing that their horses are properly stabled, they enter the inn and are greeted by the sight of an inn doing a thriving business. The main room of the inn is crowded and noisy. They find a table, sit down, and order some beer. The beer is delicious.  While the party orders food, Nodrog talks to Cullross, the owner/bartender, about getting some rooms for the night. Cullross shows Nodrog the rooms and gives him the keys.  After dinner, Nidal decides to go to the Temple of Light to pray. There she meets Brother Brodribb. He lets Nidal know about the increasing number of orc raids and attacks that seem to be happening around Stone Keep.  Meanwhile in the bar, the party also hears som

Into the Wilderness.

 The party decides to leave the Northern Expedition's camp to try and find the tree. The are not sure what they are looking for or what they will find.  The party leave their fire burning and quietly pack up their items. Under the cover of Adrahil's pass without a trace spell they manage to evade the camp guards and escape to the west. They decide to continue heading roughly west. The night is dark and even though it is challenging, they make good time and with a few hours are miles away from the camp.  The party continues to move west through the night. To the north they can hear a fast running river. They move north and come across a cairn. Many of the rocks that make up the cairn are inscribed with runes. Kallista is able to discern their meaning. A rough translation of the words under an arrow pointing to the East is Follow Me to the Sea. There is another arrow point west and the runes read as Follow Me to the Tree. Adrahil finds the pathway indicated by the arrow and the p
