The Session:

Today they managed to get through 2 quests.

Mountain's Toe Quest

They had to escort a man named Don-Jon Raskin to some mines, which ended up being overrun with wererats. Rayna attempted to talk to the wererat leader, but a fight was inevitable. The PCs slaughtered most of the wererats, including the leader, and made a deal with the final survivor. After this quest, the characters leveled up to level 4.

Axeholm

They were tasked with clearing out all the dangers from an old Dwarven fortress.

First they encountered two ghouls, which was pretty easy for them. Then they went upstairs and fought some spiders, which gave them more trouble, but they survived. After that they took a long rest, then spent more time exploring the two levels. A banshee scared them off at one point, and they involuntarily fled back to the lower level. The fought a few more ghouls and a stirge, then prepared to face the banshee again.

This time it was a little tougher because they ended up fighting the banshee and four ghouls at the same time. Quosh and Nymeria faced the ghouls while Rayna fought the banshee. First Nymeria went down, then Rayna, right as Quosh finished off the last ghoul.

It finally came down to Quosh - who was down to 3 hit points, versus the banshee, who was down to 4. The next hit from either side would determine the outcome. But Quosh prevailed, and saved the day. They still had to fight a pair of stirges before the quest was completely done, but after facing a banshee, that was nothing.

They returned to town and rested up.
