S13. Treat and Retreat!
General Summary
Marpenoth 27 - 28
Overwhelmed and demoralized with Raiya's insistence on not retreating, the party is forced to flee when she surrenders to the masked men and goblinoids. The make a fighting retreat while being chased out by their enemies, leaving Raiya behind.
They escape outside and are not pursued. Hastily, they return to Stonehill Inn and are treated kindly by Toblen's wife, who arranges for them to rest and hide in their room in case the Redcloaks come looking for them...which they do while they rest. Luckily she gets them to leave.
After a long rest they sneak back into the cellar under the manor to see if they can find Raiya.
Meanwhile, Raiya has awakened in a cell somewhere, but not alone. She is taken care of by Myrna Dendrar and he two kids, and Adabra Gwynn. They are all to be sold off as slaves it seems.
The rest of the party continues to explore, this time headed to the crypt that Raiya told them about. As they enter the crypt they see a Redcloak just leaving through a door across the room, and he yells out, "Illitharn SUCKS!" and slams the door behind him. Suddenly the skeletons of 3 apparently one-time crypt guards stand and zero in on the heroes.
While they fight the undead...Raiya is being escorted out of the hideout through the cavern room and through a tunnel to the south.
Just as the party finishes off the skeltons, with Flicker having taken the form of a draft horse, the sacrophagi begin to open and a zombie and a wight climb out...
