So no sooner did our "heroes" arrive in Pembrose than they wound up getting inebriated at the Drake, cheating at cards, and ending up in a bar fight. I'm sure they're not in Boris' good books by any stretch of the imagination after that. First day in town, and already trashing the place.
Boris had just found out that door in his cellar, the poor man had such a fright. Of course, he had no idea what it was, so he asked that mad druid in town to take on the challenge. I am impressed, however, that they managed to get through the door at all. For a while it looked touch-and-go. Through either determination or stupidity, they found Turbish's empty tomb. That gave them such a fright! But they did find the journal as well. How can it have been left there? Ah well, no matter, they have no idea what they have found. None of them ever bothered to learn the civilized tongue.
They found the burial ground as well, but were nearly defeated by a single cloaker, of all things. Although, I had forgotten just how useful those creatures are, I should have looked into purchasing some of them. That was just how the elf died last time; they found his map. It was quite amusing watching them attempt to garner some information from it; it really is terribly obvious, but these mortals are blind, in addition to being lazy, greedy fools.
The halfling stumbled into the chamber about then, quite unfortunate timing. He is a survivor, that one, a favourite of Gramalkin I am sure. Incredibly, the "heroes" decided to track him back to where he said he was imprisoned, and free the two dwarves. So easily distracted! And here I thought they were just in it for the treasure.
Just when I was beginning to question their motives, they came across a few treasure chests that they could not open. They decided that obviously, that meant that whatever was inside was worth having, and they nearly killed their entire group from the poison gas the chest was rigged to release. Perhaps next time they will have learned slightly, but I suppose that might be hoping too much.
Logically, next they must encounter the owner of the chests they just "liberated." I cannot wait to see how that plays out.
