Session 3
General Summary
A second foray into the church against the Orc bandits was far more successful, with the heroes
killing all bar one of the evil brigands and letting one escape to take word to the orcs about the
party. Further exploration of the church ruins discovered a spiral staircase down into the crypt
which felt unnaturally cold and had been blocked by the orcs. What with the rumours of the
haunting of the church the party decided to leave that area till later. They continued exploring the
out houses, killing lots of stirges on the way. Then they were suprised by webbirds. All bar Tor
were covered in webbing and held fast. Tor started to lay about him with his huge sword, felling
the birds in droves, but not before they had implanted eggs in Licinius and Fortuna. Tor got them
out of the webs and Fortuna bravely used her new found remove disease ability to heal the cleric
Licinius, leaving herself vulnerable.
The party decided to head back to Waymeet, some twenty miles away, but never made it. Less
than an hour later the egg inside Fortuna hatched and a grub started to eat her from the inside out.
She was restrained by Kai and Tor and they performed emergency surgery on her by the side of
the road, miraculously saving her life.
A few days rest were called for and then the party felt ready to return to the church where they
cleared the final nasties from the outbuildings before heading into the crypt. In the crypt they
encountered the ghost of the captain of the guard when the church originally fell. She asked what
the heroes were doing and they told her they were reclaiming the church for the clergy. She was
pleased, telling them she'd meet them later. The heroes went on to defeat all the evil creatures that
had made the crypt their home and then the ghost reappeared. She thanked them and asked if they
could lay her bones to rest properly. They agreed and went and dug them up and took them to the
church in Ashtar, returning to the ruined church afterwards. There they found the key to the
treasury and a king's ransom. They returned to Ashtar to rest up so the barbarian could recover
from grevious wounds inflicted by a group of giant spiders.
