Loot we collected from our victory:
- One pouch with gems worth 2500 GP
- One pouch with 4 silver coins and some coppers
- One magical holy symbol of Solanis
- A pair of silver bracers
- A gold necklace
- Evil journal of Sofia of Sedostra
- Magical cloak with abjuration aura
That evil journal should probably be destroyed as soon as possible!
Not sure about the Magical Cloak with Abjuration Aura?
Brokkrok would like to use his cut of the gems for use towards upgrading his armor in the near future!
Any Thoughts Compadres?

The Crate is a Large Crate and it covers the opening behind the wall where you saw the hand of the suspect before the crate was pulled flush with the wall.
What lies beyond the opening maybe small also or much larger once you all can squeeze through or .....

How do you figure there is no hole in the wall or tunnel behind the crate?
The crate was pulled flush with the wall which would make the hole or tunnel smaller than the crate!
Remember those were short humans you all had as suspects!

Topic: The Leather Coats Avengers
Subject: Change of Plan
Confrontation
Early Morning on Wednesday
March 14, 212awd (After Winter Dark)
It was a valiant effort by Toraad to defend Rextugenous as he positioned himself to deflect whatever spell was targeted for the Leather Coat, but the Hobgoblin Shaman named Shargnaz was intent upon attacking both companions.
Four Magic Missiles were hurled by the evil shaman at the duo, but it was evident that most of his hated focus was channeled towards the Bard/Wizard/Paladin who seemed to have a price on his head.
Two of the missiles found their mark against the Cleric of Steel, but impacted the dwarf with the least amount of damage possible from the two missiles (-4 hp).
Toraad was somehow struck on his right arm and right leg, but he was more concerned about Rex than he was about attacking Shargnaz.
Rex was hit in the left shoulder and upper chest, causing him to stagger backward from the force of the impact of both missiles, which hurt him twice as much (-8 hp) as the missiles that found their mark against the Cleric of Steel who back pedaled to protect Rex from any further attacks from the evil shaman.
Meanwhile, the dynamic duo of Sir Cal and Orion were busy containing the former City Patrol; dispatching them one by one as they drove forward, turned aside, attacked and counter attacked ... causing the skeletons to fall one by one as they cowered in fear from the combined efforts of Toraad and Rextugenous to turn them away from the adventurers ... making them utterly helpless to defend themselves against the knight and his trusty steed.
Danamar had not hesitated to take the battle to its horrific source, throwing all caution to the wind and charging headlong towards the evil shaman with his sword raised, thirsting for the blood of his newfound enemy, intent upon releasing the hidden heartache of his slaughtered kinsmen upon this hobgoblin who boasted of bringing death to the last remaining Leather Coat and his companions.
Muttering a quick prayer to Oercus and charging with his brother's sword, the elf cared not for his own life as the rage within his soul now had a target in sight to release the Ranger/Druid from his pain and sorrow that no one but himself could release!
Shargnaz sneered at Danamar defiantly as the elf drew ever closer, but whether by magics or sheer misfortune of an ill timed swing, the blade of his brother was denied the thrill of striking the hideous hobgoblin, as the blade passed harmlessy within inches of the throat of its intended target.
For whatever reason, known only to the Hobgoblin Shaman himself, instead of pressing his advantage against either Danamar or the others, the evil shaman did the unexpected once more.
He spat disdainfully in the direction of his would be attacker, while simultaneously conjuring a Fly Spell that carried him aloft and away out of any further danger or retaliation from any of the four adventurers, but he made sure that Danamar heard a dire message before leaving the scene of battle:
"You Are All Marked For Death ... No Matter Where You Go!
"Should You Manage To Survive The Perils Awaiting You ... Between Lasch And Chinon ... Then You Will Find Me Waiting For You ... And Your Leather Coat Companion ... Some Where Near Ritterberg ... Should You Dare Try To Find Me!"
Then the hideous hobgoblin Shargnaz turned his back to the elf, heading north with an equally hideous cackle of perceived triumph, as Danamar watched until he was hidden from view by some far hills.
Castle Keeper Note: Players Feel Free to include your actions, reactions, thoughts etc in your next post from what has just transpired with Shargnaz the Shaman. I will advance the storyline from here!
It had begun to rain shortly after Shargnaz had vanished from view and just before the adventurers had eliminated the threat of the skeletons from roaming freely around the countryside.
After conferring among themselves, once Danamar related what Shargnaz had issued as an obvious challenge ... assuming that the adventurers would survive any future encounters with the unknown evils stalking the land ... they headed towards the City of Lasch to reunite with the Fortunato brothers.
"In case we do get separated ... meet us at the Dragon Claw Inn ... and you will be well compensated for the inconvenience of staying behind to help guarantee the safe arrival of these wagons in Lasch ... as you were hired to do!"
Their journey to the city was without further incident ... unless one counted the circumstances of the hard driving rain as such ... until the four companions were met at the city gate by armed guards who escorted them to the Dragon Claw Inn.
Food, drink and dry clothes were awaiting them as the grim faced duo of Fredrico and Lars Fortunato waited patiently for their hired guards to get somewhat comfortable … before discussing business.
Conspicuously absent were the halflings Drog and Seg Kargar.
"We have a situation gentlemen ... unfinished business as it were ... our wagons and the maidens made it to the city safely ... but Drog and Seg Kargar ... were ambushed by Goblin Raiders ... before they reached the safety of the gates ... and were forced to drive the treasure wagon into the Forest of Frie!"
Fredrico makes an amended offer to provide extra gold and another treasure item to any of the guards who are brave enough to go rescue Drog and Seg Kargar from the clutches of the Goblin Raiders ... plus return the treasure wagon to the City of Lasch ... with the treasure!
Lars grumbles that they owe them nothing because the treasure wagon that they were hired to protect did not make it to Lasch, but he agrees to the offer made by his brother.
They give the adventurers the option of formulating a plan and agree that the hired guards will be the ones to decide when is the best time to enter the Forest of Frie ... be it later that afternoon, later that night or early the next morning.

..... for falling a bit behind on posting, but some Real Life issues had to be addressed before I could resume my gaming here!
Secondly, due to the delay I will take the liberty (within the context of the characters) to advance the sequence of this adventure within the framework of the Hobgoblin having the initiative.
Hopefully I will have the game thread written and posted later tonight if all goes according to plan!

Topic: The Leather Coats Avengers
Subject: REXTUGENOUS A Marked Man
"Death To The Last Of The Leather Coats!
"Death To His Companions!
"Shargnaz Shall Crush The Life From All Of You!
"Shargnaz Shall Serve Sungo Well This Day!
"First Death To The Magic Users!
"As Sungo Commands All His Worshipers In Battle To First Do!"
Rextugenous had only moments to prepare his heart and mind for whatever unexpected attack was about to be unleashed against him.
It was in line with what his former Leather Coats companions had alluded to upon the waters of the Bay of Imboden at the port city of Sherrill; when privately warning him prior to his disposing of their undead lives once and for all for the good of those they had been sworn to protect.
There would be a better time to inform his companions as to what may be in store for them if they chose to continue their journey with Rex the Reckless, who had obviously become 'A Marked Man' for his previous association with the Leather Coats.
What a few mere days before had amounted to a quest for Avenging the Leather Coats, had now become Personal for Rextugenous, as he stood his ground against the Hobgoblin Shaman named Shargnaz ... who was about to launch a spell from afar!

Topic: Once in a Lifetime
Subject: Bonding By Brawling
The Scarlet Tankard
Quevin, Coria
Spring
Day 1
Evening
Whether this had been a test or not to determine if their group would work well together as a team, the perverted intent of the ruffians had brought out the best ... and the worst ... of the newly formed group of adventurers ...
Amariel waited for no man to come to her rescue … for she was not a helpless damsel in distress ... as she sprang into action by first stomping on the miscreant's right foot as hard as she could with her boot ... while placing her right foot behind his left and simultaneously thrusting the flat side of her scimitar against his chest.
They fell in a heap with the elven knight astride her attacker with her knee in his stomach and the blade of her scimitar pressed against his throat as she defiantly looked him in the eyes while stating:
"You Lose!"
She did not have time to determine if her assailant was a fool or worse? He fumbled for his weapon and sneered at the knight as he tried to unseat her with his weapon.
Amariel gave him no quarter as her blade sang a song of vengeance as it bit into his flesh, slicing his throat and vocal cords almost simultaneously, as his life escaped his body almost immediately.
The elven knight sought to spy out the whereabouts of the four suspects, but pandemonium had erupted in a seemingly simultaneous eruption throughout the tavern.
Revlan had jumped on top of the table after throwing the contents of his tankard in the face of the man who had grabbed the arm of the cleric Peryl.
Calling them "stupid Sigies" and chastising them for not offering their courtesy of buying the ladies a drink, the Pick Cidal grabbed Qempar's two unattended tankards and began swinging them round about as he defiantly goaded any would be attackers to try their best to disarm him.
The Slaa'kar Ranger named Qempar snarled at the intruders as he withdrew his sword and set his gaze upon the attacker who had Peryl by her arm. He was ready to literally disarm (as in dismember) the foolish one who sought to harm their healer!
Vord did not hesitate as he fluidly grabbed his chair to disarm one of the attackers as his subdued blood lust suddenly sprang to the forefront of his consciousness.
The two grappled momentarily, but the suddenness of Vord's action left the assailant with the jagged markings of his talons. Struggling was useless as the man sought to kill Vord, but he was the instant victim and would have fallen to the floor, had Vord not held his lifeless body as a meat shield.
Pandemonium had erupted and from every direction the patrons of The Scarlet Tankard had begun swinging fists, weapons and broken furniture at no one in particular. It seemed that many of the clients of the tavern had been spoiling for a good fight and an excuse for spilling blood and lives this night.
Peryl was shocked by the scene and taken unawares by the intrusion of the attacker who had grabbed her arm. Amariel had been a quick study on how to dispatch an attacker and Peryl tried to trip her assailant as best she could.
However, a blood curdling scream from her assailant could be heard above the din as the wolf named Smoke sank its jaws into the leg of the man holding Peryl as the druid Willow had bid her wolf companion to do.
Other men were rushing to the aid of the ruffians and Willow was there to meet them as she stepped in front of Peryl and dared the new combatants to draw near if they dared.
Peryl managed to pull her mace free and did her best to look menacing, but in reality she was shocked by the senseless violence breaking out upon every hand. She stood her ground as Qempar dispatched the arm of the man who had mere moments before pulled Peryl from her chair.
Qempar stood in front of Peryl and shielded her from both attackers and bloody view, while Smoke growled and took a position to guard the cleric from any attack from behind.
Amariel and Willow joined forces and cut a bloody swathe through the fiercest of new ruffians, then held their ground and slowly positioned themselves at a vantage point nearer the table where Revlan and Vord were standing guard against any and all other unwelcome guests of the tavern.
Bloodshed gave way to pushing and shoving as the clients of the tavern either collapsed from exhaustion or too much drink. It was then that Revlan called out to his companions:
"Where did they go?"
Revlan jumped down from the table and hurried off through the debris of broken tables and chairs and contorted bodies who were for the most part groaning from the pain and agony of a good fight.
Vord was at his heels, making sure that the impulsive Pick was not ambushed in his haste to locate the four suspects who had taken advantage of the mayhem to disappear from the immediate premises.
Qempar was close behind with Peryl in tow, as Amariel and Willow guarded their departing companions with stern looks and weapons at the ready. Smoke followed at the side of Willow and none of the adventurers were accosted as things began to settle down and patrons began buying one another drinks and slapping each other on the back.
The dead and wounded were being removed as though it were but a part of the nightly routine. The Scarlet Tankard was fitly named.
Revlan made his way around the far end of the bar and peered into the kitchen, but a nearby door caught his eye as he threw all caution to the wind and opened it.
Stairs led down to the cellar below, but Revlan peered cautiously from the top of the stairs, waiting for his companions to catch up with him.
Vord did not hesitate to take the lead, welcoming the descent down the stairs as if he were back in the familiar haunts of his native domain.
The others followed one by one and soon found themselves in a large food storage area. Their eyes slowly adjusted to the dim torch light while they quickly surveyed their surroundings.
Smoke let out a snarl as Revlan and Vord both noticed a crate slowly move backwards against a far wall, before a tell tale human left hand disappeared from view, behind the crate that was now flush with the far wall.
