Four dark elves and a dragon of light

The group discusses whether or not to invite the Necromancer along with them. A vote is taken and it is decided that he should not journey with them. Gericks was scrying on their conversation and confronts the group about their decision. He says that he is not offended but that he will be travelling the same direction as the group as he wants to find this "treasure" as well. So he is sure he will see the group again. 

Meanwhile Vornyn visits the church of Darkenday. The priests gather around him and start chanting and casting spells. They expel the creature that has been possessing him for some time. He is finally free of the creature from the sarcophagi. Clyde commissions his own special cart to be constructed as his travelling workshop. 

Elga is given the scrolls to read that will awaken the powers of the treasure map. it reveals two clues and a location South West from Evonmar. The group sets out to investigate. Not too long into their journey they come upon a large chasm in the road preventing the horses and carriage from passing. Just then Gericks and his undead show up. The skeletons form a bridge for the group to cross safely. He wishes them well and continues into the forest.

The group then encounters 4 wyvern riders who land near the group. They are dark elves (drow) and warn them that they about to enter into their sacred territory. The group makes a deal with the drow that they help defeat a creature of light that is preventing the drow access to their sacred lands. Once defeated,  the group can move freely through their kingdom. The group agrees to help only to find out that the creature is some type of an unknown species of Dragon. Some type of light/ sun dragon......

"OK Timmy, now run to Daddy!!!!"

Heading towards Evonmar the group hits a bumpy part in the road and winds up busting not one, but two carriage wheels. Sprock is upset and complaining about how the weight distribution wasn't right. Then a few zombies and skeletons walk towards the group (non threatening). The skeleton opens its mouth and a human voice asks if they could use some help. A necromancer arrives shortly after on a chariot carried by other undead (40 in total). He greets them as a friend and offers to help them get to Evonmar swiftly with the help of his minions. The group agrees and heads the 4 days left to Evonmar with the aid of the Necromancer (Gerecks Blackfoot) and his crew. The Witch Elga seems to be quite interested in the Mage, and they spend much of the journey in his tent and chariot... Estia her daughter is confused and disturbed and leans on Delvin for some moral/ fatherly support, he plays cards with her. (anything to drown out the sounds of her mother moaning in the darkness...)

They arrive in Evonmar. Sura sees a post for her on a local street billboard. 

Delvin takes the broken cart to a black smith (Therumen) for repairs. He sells all of the treasure accumulated throughout the past journey's and commissions a second cart to be built. 

Jin meets a mysterious man on the streets and actually helps him locate the farmers son Timmy he was looking for. Timmy is excited to see the group but more excited at the opportunity to go and see his father. Gerecks offers the services of his friend, a local wizard who could teleport him to his dad. 

Through a scrying spell we find that the Timmy's father (the Farmer) is locked up in jail in DiamondBed city (he apparently went a little crazy when he arrived at not finding his son there). Timmy convinces the group that he should go and help his dad. He is sure he can convince the guards to free him. Timmy is teleported into his fathers cell. The group watches in horror as his father viciously tears his son to pieces with his bare hands. Blood soaks the crystal ball.....

Skinned alive men & dead abused women......nothing to see here...!

The group continues on their path south through the forest. They arrive on a horrific scene on the trail. There are two dead (naked) women lying in the road, apparently raped and beaten to death. In the distance they can see two dead human males hanging from a tree who appear to have been skinned alive. After some tracking and investigation, they determine the direction of the assailants. Murphy shifts into a bird and takes flight to do some reconnaissance. He soon finds a strange group of what looks likes 4 halfing/ bird like creatures (witches as we referred to them) talking in a strange language.



 They have two even stranger looking snake like monsters on leashes. 



Behind them are two sinister looking ominous humanoid beings with glowing eyes. 

He reports back to the group and after some debate and a group vote, they decide to not engage the enemy and move on. 

4 days later the group is ambushed by 12 human thieves. They all seem like seasoned thugs decked out with better equipment then the group. As the thieves engage, two entangle spells are cast, keeping both flanks at bay. Some horrible rolls by the DM make their way to the table and the group is able to squash the raiding party without taking a single point of damage. The spoils of war are great and the group piles up all of the equipment they found. They desperately need to get to a town or city and invest in a second cart because they cannot fit much more on this war cart. The group will need to spend some time to divide up all of the spoils of battle. On to Evonmar!

Fire in the hole

The group heads deeper into the forest. They find themselves on a desolate road where they witness several zombies snacking on something. Vornyn calls upon the powers of Darkenyear and turns them. They run in fear as the holy power surges through them. Not too far off, they find the zombies (four in total) just standing there in front of a small shack. When they investigate, they witness a large forest troll jump down a shaft inside. Vornyn turns the zombies again and the group sets fire to the shack and down the hole. Not long after a forest troll comes jumping out and attacks the group. He throws his spear high and wide, only to have it savaging return onto himself, killing him instantly. Just then another troll emerges and the battle is on. The group battles this beast for quite some time but they eventually kill the beast.
