Moat House Gold

The Four Stones arrive at the ruins of Thundertree and soon met the druid Redoith. Redoith informed the Four Stones of the damages among the ruins including a Green Dragon. The Four Stones fight against blites and zombies in search of the dragon.

The Four Stones in search of Cragmaw castle were confronted by a Banshee, a Necromancers, and a horde of Orcs only to find out that they must backtrack westward to the Thundertree ruins in order to find the answer they are seeking.

As soon as the Four Stones returned to Phandlin an unruly mob of miners took Glasstaff and Narth and disappeared into the hills. After unsuccessful looking for their former prisoners the Four Stones rested before gathering more information in the morning. Now they are on their way to find Cragmaw Castle.

With Glasstaff now captured the Four Stones continued on under the Tresendar Manor freeing Mirna and her two children from the Redbrand’s slave pen. On the way out of the hideout the Four Stones found Aldermath hanging by his feet from the ceiling and when Splendorous went to untie the trap he too was drawn up into the air by Narth in an unexpected game of pass through the loop. The Four Stones then defeated the last of the Redbrands and marched into Phandalin to lock up Glasstaff and Narth in the Townmaster’s Hall.

The Four Stones stumbled onto Glass Staff’s study through a secret door. Sildar was surprised to find his old friend Inarno had betrayed him and the Lords Alliance. After a brief struggle Glass Staff was tied up and questioned. He admitted that he worked for the Bleached Spider but he was unaware as to the location of Wave Echo Cave and only the Bugbears knew the way. Sandowhish in revenge stabbed Glass Staff in the side and was quickly pulled off by Sildar who wanted Inarno to face justice infront of the Lords Alliance. The Four Stones moved into the next room which was Glass Staff’s laboratory where Sandowish and Splendorious mixed their own concoctions, each ending with disastrous results. Once they had recovered The Four Stones moved to the next door which they found blocked. When Sildar pushed through the door they found their Bugbear allies pass out from an hour of heavy drinking

With little hesitation the Four Stones enter into the Redbrand’s Hideout through a secret tunnel. Sandowish let the rest of the party enter first in order to sneak young Crap into the hideout. The Four Stones disguised as Redbrands with their newly made capes convinced a band of bugbears that the real Redbrands were a group of traders. After the bugbears had dispatched with the Redbrands they decided to get good and drunk. The Four Stone moved on to explore the vast cavern that the hideout was built around, only to find Sandowish had saved a goblin named Droop from the tortuous bugbears. This act of heroism was short-lived when Droop was turned into a pile of rotting flesh from a telepathic monster. With burning hands Azerio sprang to action engulfing the monster in flames. Crap tried his luck in the fight but was slapped away by the smoldering monster. Splendorious took a tumble into the cavern where he was met at the bottom by the monster’s corpse after Azerio slew the monster by stabbing it through its single eye.

The Four Stones explored Phandlin to gather more information about the Redbrands as they await for Freda to finish the red capes for their inflation of the Redbrand hideout. Crap a local halfing boy will show the Four Stones to the entrance of the Redbrands secret tunnel.

Our hero rolled into Phandalin hauling the recovered supplies. After delivering the cargo the party head to Stonehill Inn to turn in for the night but after hearing that Phandalin was being terrorized by a band of ruffians named the Redbrands our heros vowed to hatch a plan to rid the village of these scoundrels. 

Pip the in keepers son informed our heroes that his friend Crap had found a secret tunnel to the Redbrands’ hideout. Azorio realized if they could steal one of the Redbrands’ signature red caps that they could pay the local weaver Freda sew replicas. Splendorous then thought up an ingenious plan to make a laspo out of a bedsheet and use it into a game he called “Sliploop” to drag members of the Redbrand into the shadows and take their capes. Sandowish then declared that their party must have a name and hastily deemed our hero the Four Stones without settling securely on a fourth member. 

The three Four Stones headed over to the Redbrands favorite hangout the Sleeping Giant, but when the Four Stones arrived they saw through the tavern window Narth, a local farmer and drunk they had taught the game Sliploop too at the inn, who had joined the Redbrand, and was now teaching them Sliploop. When a Redbrand stumbled into the alley to relieve himself, Splendor abandoned his intricate plan and simply tackled the Redbrand. Sessing the opportunity Sandowish ripped the cape from the Redbrand as he ran by. The Four Stones returned to the inn and Freda headed off to sew three more capes by the next day's end. Tomorrow the Four Stone will explore the town as they patiently await for their disguises and nightfall.

Yeemik, bound and gagged, led the party into a chamber that was the source of the caves stream. Two fellow goblin rushed over to free Yeemik but unable to warn them, Spendorious leap from the darken passageway to chop the first goblin in half. Azorio let out a ray of frost freezing the second goblin's hand to Yeemik’s ropes. Spendorious informed the goblin of his pending death. The frightened goblin struggled to get free, shattering his frozen arm to break loose, but he did not make it far before being impaled by Spendorious’ javelin. 

When the party entered the second chamber they were met by a smoldering fire that sat between a stack of Lionshield Caster crates and a single stalagmit. Yeemik was forced to enter the chamber first. Spendorious threaten Yeemik that he would be feed to wild beat if he did not tell the party what lay in wait beyond the shadows. Just then a giant wolf named Ripper leap from behind the stalagmit, tearing Yeemik to shreds. Spendorious landed a blow into the wolf’s side and Azorio finished off Ripper with another ray of frost. As Ripper fell to the ground shattering into pieces, Sandowish from atop the crates could see Klarg escaping down a rocky chimney. Sandowish followed down the chimney but found himself facing the three wolves from the entrance of the cave. Klarg was able to escape and the party gathered up the stolen supplies to continue on to Phandalin.

When we last left our three adventurers they had entered into the darkness of the goblin cave where they were immediately met by pack vicious wolves. Lucky for our adventurers the wolves were chained to a stalagmit in their den. The three climbed a rocky slope with Sandowish leading the way narrowly missing a flash flood that came crashing down from deeper within the cave. At the top of the slope was a den of goblins. Their leader Yeemik, atop an escarpment, held Sildar Hallwinter hostage threatening to throw Sildar to his death if the adventures did not help in Yeemik’s scheme to overthrow his bugbear overlord Klarg. Sandowish’s sneak attack went horribly wrong and Sildar was thrown to the ground below. Azorio rushed to tend to Sildars wounds as Splendorious cleaved the fleeing goblin. Yeemik surrendered and began ranting about a mysterious figure named the Bleach Spider who rules over even Klarg. With Sildar safe and Yeemik captured, the party will go insearch of Klarg in hopes of finding Gundren with Yeemik leading the way bound and gagged.
