Subject: Cavern into darkness
It would seem that the decision had been made to head south in pursuit of the Ogre. It couldn’t be ignored that this side venture would take the companions further off trail, and further delay them from their task. With every choice of aiding another in need, they put themselves further and further from the keep, the task, and the rewards at hand. Bartholomew simply shook his head as his clients all decided they would be off and running, their morality superseding any prior obligations. What could he really say though, when he thought about what he’d be feeling if his wife and child were endangered, he’d likely be in the same boat as the old man. “We ride.” was all he said, turning Alice around to join the others.
“Please… bring them back… in either case bring them back kind people.”
As the man hoisted himself up into a kneeling position, he cursed the Ogre’s existence out to no one in particular, and standing set about putting out the already dying flames of his wagon.

The companions moved with all the haste their steeds could muster. Moonshadow could easily follow the Ogre’s scent, it hung heavy in the air like a noxious gas to the wolf’s keen nose. The coterie moved to the thundering of hooves. They traveled south for almost an hour passing into the foothills which bordered the river. As they neared, the first signs that they had found the source of the recent trouble was apparent with the slaughtered remains of presumably the travelers horse. Large chunks had been torn from its flanks, the horses entrails pulled forth and coupled around its other innards in a pool of crimson staining the green grass red. Bartholomew turned from the sight, Elesia audibly gasped. Behind the horse’s remains nestled between two small foothills lay a cavern of foreboding darkness. The ceiling hung low at only 8 feet at the entrance, with thick vines hanging over the entrance of the rocky opening into the earth. The slope of the ground seemed to descend gradually, but even in the rising moonlight the companions could only see a score or so feet into the depths of the cave.

I'm under the impression scrolls / potions are alot more expensive than 50gp / spell level..
If that were the case, I'd be throwing around earthquakes for 450gp a pop lol.

Subject: Choices
The sun of the light couldn’t break through the gloom that had settled over the traveling companions. The sight of the crucified brigand turned cultist was burned into their minds, and the thoughts of the rogue vigilante ‘Cardinal’ did not sit well with some of them either. The ‘local legend’ was a dividing point of sorts, with some admiring his resolve, some questioning his methods, and others outright objecting with the thought of one man taking upon so much power and authority unchecked.
With a grim resolve the companions moved along, mounting their steeds, and continuing once more along their original trail. Bartholomew found it strange that Kasenerrion had so easily been incorporated into their little shindig, and so spurred Alice alongside the strange woman of golden eyes and sun kissed platinum hair. “Excuse me miss.. Are you feeling better? That mark on your noggin sure looks tender. You’re more than welcome to travel with us to Castle Tethyr, but from there we make north across the wilderness for a quest most urgent.”
(allowing for back posting and conversation)
The group moved on with great haste. Traveling into the evening with the sun hanging low on the horizon before them as they chased the last of the clinging rays which grasped at the landscape with the last of their strength. As the night began to win the ever repeating battle against the day, the group came across the remnants of a wagon, plumes of smoke rising from the burning canvas, splintered axles and shredded cloth. The horse was nowhere in sight, but the battered form of a broken old man lay on the ground before it, clawing at the dirt as the party neared.
Elesia, without thinking fell into spell song, sending her lyrical healing over the man, who straightened somewhat, forcing himself into a sitting position with his back to the rest against the remnants of his cart.
“Thank you strangers, but you’ve come too late I’m afraid. You might as well have left me for dead for I’ve lost all that’s worth living for.” As the companions gathered round, the man grunted through gritted teeth as he fought back sobbing tears. “An Ogre most foul has claimed my wife and only son Marcus, even my horse. Dun dragged them off to his cave to the south. I can’t bare to think what he might be doing to them..”
Loriel could easily make out the signs of struggle in the tracks, and a heavy large set of deep footprints along with the scuffled dragging prints of at least two others, a human and child leading to the south. In the distance, those with low light vision could see foothills off in the distance.
The man was a disheveled wreck, battered and broken, his heart broken beyond the healing magic of any spell or potion. Night would soon overtake them, and yet another obstacle had presented itself.

Subject: Friday or saturday..
I work both nights, starting at 11pm my time, but we usually finish playing around 8-9pm my time so either day is fine. If Ayrn can only make it saturday (which means Brianna/DragonMistress won't due to their real life tabletop game) what it really comes down to is swapping one player for the other... one can make some friday sessions, and some can make saturday.. SilentOne and I can make either.. so really it's your call DM.

Topic: For Whom the Bell Tolls Q&A
Subject: here's my thoughts.
My Thoughts as to bounty spoil shares.
Ayrn - Aranel Eärfalas [Elven Mage/ Thief]? Or Devlin Burrberry [Halfling Thief]? 78gp 144sp 5cp
Brianna - Isilfeline [Elven Fighter] 78gp 144sp 5cp
Kaelyn - Emmerus Zane [Human Cleric] 78gp 144sp 5cp
Silent One - Arys Lotusbane [Elven Ranger] 78gp 144sp 5cp
That’s equal distribution of monetary wealth (with .5sp left over spent on random lodgings upon our return)
Carry items to a larger town for identification and selling.
Splitting books between the members, (that’s perhaps 10 books a piece) because we have two elves, and two people (me and Ayrn) that have special interest in ancient languages and such.
That’s my thoughts… yours guys?

Subject: So glad to be back...
Emmerus will indeed return the scroll and the oil flasks to the township, seeing as he has the contents of the chest now for some booty. (Dang skippy you drag that thing all the way to town at 42 years of age lol)
(I do still ahve on my sheet the potion of CLW that cdnflirt gave Emmerus btw)
Once I know which original players aside from SilentOne will definately be continuing, we can discuss diviing up the spoils, with a healthy thank you contribution to Aranas the strange mage who popped in and helped without provocation. (Ayrn's character)

Subject: Question put to my players...
AS you all know Zonk and Longshadow had asked for a little more time in posting due to Longshadow recovering from some trauma; which I happily gave. That was more than two weeks ago now, neither have posted since the 18th of february or before, and I've not heard a single word from either of them.
I've so much planned for this adventure, but I really don't want to have to Npc two more player characters for extended periods of time so I put the questino to you all..
1:Shall I -find and incorporate an exit strategy for these two and simply write them out?
2: Put out the call that we've two characters available for taking over?
3:or simply have them meet their eventual grim demise and put out the call for 2 fresh characters...
(I'm leaning towards #2)

Would just like to thank Gary Gygax, for such an incredible game, and our host Vorrioch, for an amazing session. We ran him long and hard into the night, and he ran us long and hard with all assortments of nasty enemies.
So Kudos to you both, I had a blast, and can't wait for another chance to bring out Emmerus Zane, crotchety priest of Pelor who'se too darn stubborn to retire.
