February 4, 2007 Adventure

A group of eight adventurers, all working on behalf of Pholtus (of the Blinding Light), were gathered together by Lorn Hardling, Shining High Priest of Pholtus. The group of adventures were told that they would be completing a mission on behalf of Pholtus. As the group gained in experience and popularity, they would draw attention away from a party giving great fame to St. Cuthbert, a rival deity. Their first mission was to head due west two days from Wintershiven to explore an abandoned chapel of Pholtus. If they were able to "clear out" the chapel (if needed), it would be available for their use.

The following morning, after getting their supplies and preparing for the adventure, they left west. It was raining hard. On the first day to the chapel, they encounter and man and his two sons with a wagon stuck in the mud. The party stopped to help with the man's wagon and managed to get it out of the mud. On the second day to the chapel, the group encountered a band of eight bandits that were standing by a bridge going over the Yol River.

Dendo, the monk charged the bandits and was taken down by a flurry of crossbow bolts. Torgrim the barbarian engaged one of the bandits in missile combat and Eiccito the paladin ran after the fallen monk. The rest of the party engaged in the elements of combat and the bandits were either defeated or ran away. While Father Roland attempted to convert one member of the bandit hoard, Fritjof attempted to backstab him...and Lac the Bard sang. Classic.

At the end of the second day, they got to the front doors of the chapel. After several unsuccessful attempts at picking the lock to the door, The party smashed the door open. Upon entering they opened the first door and encountered 8 orcs. All of the orcs were slain, but three party members went down in the process. The party continued until they reached the sanctuary and fought 5 skeletons. Aleron turned undead and sent them away; they were destroyed by the party.

The next session continues with more skeletons animating...

Hey folks! What did I forget? Any good stories/anecdotes?
