  • Summary of last session: A discussion takes place about dealing with the Redbrams. Tremen is reluctant to confront the Redbrams, without any further evidence of wrongdoing, and then proceeds to talk to the town clerk to see what his position is on the goings on of the Redbrams & the sleeping giant.
  • Monkeys name Fortenbrass. Dwarf Grundrem who gave us the initial quest is Fortenbrass friend.
  • Tremen goes to the town hall and gives a report to Town Clerk with Sildar present, whom confirms details of Tremen report.
  • Sildar confirms presence of the Redrams presence in the caves, & the town clerk mentions concerns arts of extortion and strange disappearance of a family that lived opposite the sleeping giant. The discussion continues with the town clerk not committing to an exact amount of payment or precisely what he wants us to do. Eventually Tremen agrees to investigate the missing family.
  • Silanne investigates the pathway that they observed last night whilst monitoring the goings on from the Sleeping Giant.
  • Tremen heads off to the building that the missing family were residing in, on arrival he observes the building looks like it has been ransacked, and notice the mouldy food looks like a couple days. On exiting the building Tremen notices some scuff marks on the door and appears it tracks out towards the sleeping giant.
  • Fiorana brings back some apples from the orchard.
  • Bluebell & Tarqual head of to the Smithy and have a general pleasant chat and discover he is Sildar’s son. Eventually the party reassemble and Tremen briefs us on the party. We decide to collectively head off to the sleeping Giant and investigate.
  • Tremen & Silanne approach the front door first, Tremen casts a check evil & good before casting detect magic. Tremen approaches the door and observe its ajar so pushes open. He did sense the presence of magic.
  • Cromagon casts danger sense and seems unworried
  • Fiorana sneaks into the back upstairs and is surprised by another halfling jumping out of a box, who mentions he lives at Alderfarm, & often sneaks in to play with his friend Narse who lives across the road.
  • Tremen enters the room and it appears empty, Bluebell heads to the bar and seeks out a drink, with their familiar in tow (an otter). After a quick survey notices the door at the ear and heads towards it, with some of the party following behind. The door leads to some stairs that lead down to a storeroom.
  • Silanne notices a chute that most leads to the outside, and further exploration starts to examine a barrel
  • Silanne shouts out for Fi to get downstairs sometime during the search of the building.
  • Tarqual finds 2 scraps of red cloth that appear to be part of ropes tucked away behind the bar.
  • Cromagon heads off to talk to the locals to inquire last time any of the Redrams were seen.
  • Trem & Bluebell head off to the house, Trem is a little surprised by the transformation of bluebell into a wolf as they enter the house.
  • Tharbin appears at the door at the back of the room and beckons us towards him and we head down the stairs, Silanne asks where Bluebell & Tremen are; & I mention that I overheard them saying they were heading back to the home of the missing family. He proceeds to dash upstairs out of the building, and a loud whistle is heard a short time later.
  • Eventually everybody is assembled in the cellar/storeroom and caught up on the party’s exploration.
  • I offer the scarps of the red cloth for examination and Tremen suggests passing them onto Bluebell who appears in wolf form. Eventually we decide on proceeding through the hidden door down into the tunnel. The tunnel just about holds 2 abreast but it would be difficult to swing a 2 handed weapon. The party descends with Bluebell in wolf form at the forefront with Silanne behind. The party eventually climbs out of the tunnel and emerge at the broken wall to the North of Alderleaf farm and to the west of the wooded area. Silanne reminds us of their observations of the movement of people from last night.
