It Begins…

We have 3 captives. Spooky Mr. Pelor Priest man casts some spells to get the baddies to tell the truth, but it takes effect of all of us since Kire.
Kire kicks the guys and tells them to spill their beans or they will be turned over to the necromancer. We question the first mercenary and he tells us of a promise made by Targill that they will get great power through help from a "league of dragons." All they had to do was help him kill us. Guess that didn't work. We question Targill and he discredits the men, eventually his tattoo freaks out and tears off his skin forming a gaseous creature which flies off leaving Targill dead.

"What do you mean we don't have a keg? So why are we going to the mountains?" sez Kire before arguing that we should just leave the 2 remaining bad guys in the wild and so begins a discussion of rules and order and justice and mercy. Problem solved when Cestus suggests sending absent players back to town with the bad guys in tow. Done and done!

Us good guys confiscate their 350GP the bad guys got for trying to sill us.
Also ID'd:
-Dagger +2 (scaled handle, etched with dragon)
-leater armor +1 (flat black)
-Ring of Invisibility
-Rod of Hold Person (17 Charges)
-Potion of Cure Serious (Qwand)

Travel, Travel, Travel. A change of direction. Travel, Camp, o Homesteads, Travel, Reach elevation.
…Next day, scary noises in the forest prompt Kire and Cestus to make Max check rules on riding. As they skin out for the castle 2 creatures bust out of the forest. Time to fight. Aldar crits / bow and annihilates one beast. We travel a ways and fight some more beasts. The chase is on! We ride and ride! We meet up /w a bunch of baddies at a bridge. Kire jumps over one and clears the way for the rest of us.

We get up into the mountains.
A griffon swoops for Kire's horse as he cowers behind a rock. Kire makes the horse invisible. We keep riding and approach two 40ft. towers. There is a gate as well. One of the doors is off its hinges. Inside is a tower (description on sheet).

We checkthe guard towers. (Cestus kicks in the door of one of the towers. Check the other tower. The chest in the room attacks Kire. It has arms and everything. We fight. Kire w/ arm stuck to chest plays his banjo w/ his teeth to sonic blast the chest.
-250GP/100SP were spit out by the "chest man."

"The most damage I've gotten is from inanimate objects." -Kire

Check out the rest of the tower and find a storage area on the second level on the top of the tower.
