John, Redcap, and Dordal the Monk - Session 1

General Summary

Frederick Henry Santiago Morse was in the Dreadwood chasing after the pie thief, John the Wood-Elf, when they both fell into a pit for several hours. Eventually, they were found by Dordal the Monk who saved them with a rope. The trio were promptly attacked by a roving group of Jackalweres.
The group brutally attacked and killed the monsters. Fredrick then skinned them for hides. After some discussion, the group investigated the pit and discovered that it was actually one of the entrances to Frederick's lair. They descended into some tunnels but found they had been excavated by the Dwarves of Saltmarsh.
The group walked for hours through the tunnels, eventually finding two dead dwarves and several disanimate skeletons. The group then walked to Saltmarsh to investigate Fredrick's Tarkeldisc at Dordal's suggestion. The guards in Saltmarsh had raised the security after a recent event and so they asked to look through the party's items. Fredrick did not like this at all and disemboweled one of the guards. Dordal was mortified. John was disappointed at the infantile nature of the murder. The town guard gave chase and the party was forced to sacrifice many of their items.
Dordal and John ran to the Haunted House, with Kraddok and his men eventually giving up. Fredrick was struck with Kraddok's spear and hid in a goat shepherd's field. Eventually, he went inside the shepherd's hut and stole everything he owned. Then he met the party in the Haunted House, where Dordal went to hide from Fredrick, and John punched him in disappointment. John would never be so obvious. He burned down a house in the Anvil Isles for fun - just to hear them scream.
