The Edwardsville Chronicles - session 6

The party is startled by Flanders' sudden reappearance, but he seems perfectly normal. They go over to the place where the deer crossed the road and investigate. They see two human-sized footprints, but find no other evidence as to what is going on.

They return to town and head over to the Emerald Tankard, where they hear some rumours that the mines are going to open up again. They then visit Wilfur's store. Aggie inquires about poisoner's kit, and Wilfur points her to an elf named Ka'Ral, who lives in the mountains near Tucktown (a small-folk village two days west of Edwardsville). Wilfur gives her a piece of paper to give to Ka'Ral, and he will help her. She also purchases some socks.

A man comes into Wilfur's shop, and Wilfur asks the group to excuse him for a second. The man is dressed in black and gold and begins to speak with Wilfur in a strange language that nobody understands. They think they hear a name - Xanathrax.

It is now coming up to the full moon, and the party realizes that Andrew Stonemill is likely to attack the town when that happens. They decide that a distraction is in order, so they acquire a sheep that they tie up in the market square as bait. Things do not go as planned, however. The wolves immediately tear the sheep to pieces and attack. A giant battle ensues. Kayleth, Flanders, and Aggie are on a rooftop on one side of the square; Larry is leaping around trying to bring down wolves. Aggie has to stabilize Kayleth, and Opi, who is in the square, is killed. The battle is tense, and the group barely make it out alive - but they manage to defeat the wolves and they kill Andrew Stonemill.
