Drum Beats in the Forest

Date: March 3, 2021. Who played: Elora, Sam, Igor, Eilene, LeRoy, Beadle. XP: XXX/player
Summary: We are hired by Eilenes friend Rocca to help with the logging issue in the forest. Loggers heard drum beats in the forest and two disappeared and are scared. Rocca gives us 2 healing potions and 6 glowsticks which he calls sunsticks. We head out and are stealthy, and find a primordial moss that attacks us ( they are salamander shaped and the size of a horse). Elora tries to talk to it but it wasn't having it. We attack and kill them. Elora wants to cleanse the area with fire, but Beadle, Igor, Eilene, and LeRoy convince her that it might make the bad stuff aware that we are here. We hear drum beats in the distance and come across a camp of gnolls. We kill the one that is playing the drum and Sam goes over and starts playing a sick ass drum solo. Eilene listens intently and says that the ones in the cave have noticed that the drum beat is different. That's not the beat he's supposed to play. We kill the other gnoll. We find the skeletal remains of two loggers and 15cp. We begin piling tents up in the cave entrance to burn them out. Beadle uses Chuckssby to scout out the cave and gets the layout. Sam does another sick beat and we ambush 2 of them. One gets away and runs down the tunnel to signal danger to the others. The leader is rough and we drop a fire tent on him. We get damaged a lot but eventually overcome the hoard that comes out of the cave. Sam sings a song of short rest.
Obtained a +1 shield.
