Session 3 Report -- 01-06-2021

General Summary

Part 2: Phandalin (continued)

1. Awaking from their rest, the party had a nice breakfast with Qelline Alderleaf
2. Then they set off to the Sleeping Giant tap house to confront the Redbrands
3. There, they found a confrontation and a battle ensued with the party victorious
4. The bar owner returned shortly after, so the party quickly hid the bodies of the Redbrands, made their pleasantries with the owner, and excused themselves
5. The party then set off searching for the secret tunnel to Tresendar Manor that Carp Alderleaf had mentioned the evening prior
6. Eventually finding the tunnel, the party emerged inside the catacombs beneath the manor where they encountered a strange creature called a nothic
7. They learned that the nothic craved and hoarded items and that perhaps Glasstaff had taken an item from it to use as a carrot to press the nothic into his service
8. Exploring the ruins, the party encountered a group of bugbears tormenting a goblin
9. A difficult battle ensued, but the party narrowly defeated the bugbears led by Mosk and befriended the goblin Droop
10. Very weak, the party attempted to rest quietly in the bugbears room and successfully did so
11. Shortly after, a gang member knocked on the door looking to alert the bugbears to the apparent killing of some of their members at the Sleeping Giant
12. The party convinced Droop to show them a secret passage in the ruins that led directly to Glasstaff's quarters
13. Surprising Glasstaff by emerging from the secret passage, the party circumvented his surveillance and intercepted his escape route, a brief battle ensued before Glasstaff surrendered
14. After an interrogation in which Glasstaff revealed himself to be Iarno Albrek and working for the Black Spider, the party took him prisoner
15. The session ended in Glasstaff's quarters
