On the River Cham - October 09, 2015

- the Sanctuary (Dungeon)

- A few days later - mid afternoon - the group arrives in the farming town of Clearwater on the River Cham
- The only "boat" on the water is an empty barge
- Hoping no one will attack O - FOST head through town to the river barge
- There's a sort of tent pitched in the middle of the barge
- There's a mostly bald halfling (Ulmric Longwhistle) who comes out of the tent when S "hullo's"
- They negotiate the price of 5GP to Eaglesham for all 4 peoples and the horses
- They head to the little general store to acquired some warmer clothing and provisions - T asks the stout woman behind the counter where they might find accommodations and she directs them to Collin Carpenter's house five houses north and on the right
- There is amusing banter with Collin's and Winnie's 10-year old Freddie
- T and Freddie stable the horses
- F & S chat with Winnie until T & F come in having an "Is-Not" argument
- The rest of the evening passes peacefully and the group get some nice warm sponge baths.
- The next Morning F & s go to the store to check on their order and to pay
- O & T go help load the barge

- the next noontide FOST plus Sweetheart & Tripoly (horses) board the barge - O is worried about drowning. so S ties a rope to waist and the other end to the mast
- F&T make a lean-to against a tall stack of grain-filled bags and crawl inside out of the wind

-The next morning S notices that some of their fresh foodstuffs have gone missing and there's a small footprint just a bit bigger than T's
- They talk to Ulmric and then search for a stowaway - S finds a little cave made out of some of the bags - she casts Unseen Servant to drag out the Thing
- The Thing is Freddie Carpenter who proffesses a desire to be a pirate
- Ulmric says they should just send him off to be a cabin boy and earn a finder's fee
- T insists he needs to go home and finish growing up before he can go adventuring - She charges F to keep him on his toes to prove he's not ready - F enjoys shooting arrows and throwing daggers that barely miss then chuckling darkly under her breath
- Later that afternoon there is a sudden jolt and the whole barge stops moving then arrows start flying from 6 goblins and two hobgoblins who are barely hidden by bushes on the riverbank

- Battle!
-HB2 misses F will his longbow
-G2 hits F for 4 piercing dmg
-Missing Data - F you PHONE!

- T heals Ulmric and F discovers that the locket makes her healing more efficient (doubles the amount of the die rolls when hit dice are spent)

- 580 XP ea. - 6110 XP ea.
