Pippy, Isac, Gogo, Sildar, & Amber storm the base of Redbrands.
The party follows Pippy inside Tresendar Manor. They fight a Nothic within the secret cavern connecting to the manor. The Nothic seems very hungry so the squad kills it before it kills them. Pippy runs away at the sight of the Nothic so Gogo is immediately disappointed at Pippy. Pippy runs back home crying about how he was a coward and left his cousin gogo there to just die. Quelliene hopes they are all okay but comforts Pippy tells him that Gogo is strong. Gogo climbs into the lair of the Nothic and finds a black armor and knows its the Sword of the Tresendar the Black Hawk, someone who used to slay all the orcs around Phandalin. A legendary warrior. He grabs the sword and some loot and doesnt tell anyone about the coins. He gives Isac the sword. Amber goes on her own and finds a group of ruffians playing cards drunk in a room, she whistles really loudly She whistles loudly which alerts nearby ruffians, which they easily take care of. After continuing deep underneath the manor they walk into a room with 3 bugbears bullying a little goblin this goblins name is Gobey. They save Gobey and as a thank you Gobey takes the party to the prisoners area. Once Gobey shows them the prisoners area, Gobey runs away. The party fights some Skeletons and then rescue Minna, Nars and Marissa this is the woodworkers family. Minna the mother of the children tell the group of a family heirloom in thundertree. They set them free and then show them the way out. Rumple coming back to the hideout sees that they have been infiltrated and he sets up a plan to bring down the infiltrators. To his surprise he sees Gogo. Thinking back he really does regret but he knows these guys will take down Iarno for him so he lets Gogo live but badly wounded. Gogo fights with all his might but Rumple takes him down easily. Rumple decides its best to go on his own and rebuild. He heads out and plans to follow Gogo in the shadows if he survives. The party then runs into a trapped room where Amber and Isac gets stuck and the room starts to flood, Gogo in the meantime squares off against his rival Rumple. Rumple escapes and Amber and Isac meet Gogo on the other side. Gogo goes to the main floor of the manor where he sees a pedestal where a sword can be placed assuming it was for the Blackhawks sword. The party temporarily retreats which angers Sildar as he believes it is now the best time to strike against Glasstaff. He goes in alone while the party rests back the Inn. Sildar then witnessed a redbrand ruffian sexually assaulting a woman and Sildar being the man he is, is furious with this and so he goes to the Sleeping Giant tap house. Here he takes down 4 ruffians and asks where their hideout is. the ruffians tell him its in Trensendar Manor. He furiously goes there. Inside he witnesses multiple redbrand corpses, and among other creatures. He sees Amber Sweetgrass , Gogo Thornt , and Isac Gringle . Leaving, they look batterd and bruised Sildar thinks with his help this would be the perfect time strike Iarno which is Glasstaff. The party refuses and this dissapoints Sildar a bit but he goes on ahead to take on Iarno on his own. Iarno leaves his study for a brief moment and notices that the hideout is extremely quiet, upon further investigation he sees bodies and freed prisoners, her comes to the conclusion that he has been infiltrated and all of his men were either dead or captured. Surprised as to why he did not fall he continued to do his work but set up an alert trap beside his room for anyone to stumble on. Sildar tries to take Iarno on his own. This fails as Iarno was far too strong for him and ended up chaining him up. Iarno spent the night performing and perfecting his invisibility potion on Sildar. He eventually succeeded.
