It’s decided that we will stay here for the night and rest up. Dardenne volunteers to watch because he doesn’t need much rest. Hadrian stays up with him for the first watch but nothing happens. During the second watch, suddenly a small keg comes through the window and explodes in fire.   A group of men approach us from 2 sides and begin to attack. Hadrian stands up and rushes them, and Filarion shoots another with his bow.  Dardenne and Darius begin attacking as well. Brother Gregory takes a hit immediately and goes down.

After seeing most of his men taken down in a matter of minutes, the leader of their group turns and runs away. Filarion puts two arrows in his back. We finish off the others and regroup. Hadrian and Gregory are unconscious so we bind their wounds. We decide that we need to leave immediately and get help. We take the enemy’s crossbows, coin purses and put their leader over one of our horses. The corpses and the rest of the equipment are shoved into the rubble of the tower to hide it, and we take off.

We quickly go back to Homlett and cover up the leader’s body as we make our way through town. We go to the temple of St. Cuthbert and ask for their help. They let us in and the head priest heals Brother Gregory. Filarion goes to the Grove and starts composing a song about our adventure. He returns in the morning and Hadrian and Dardenne are healed as well. The Cuthberts ask us for money, and Hadrian & Gregory give them all of their share each. They ask Dardenne for some money as well and he promises to give them some.

Filarion asks the head druid at the Grove where to sell the other items we found on the leader, and he says to go to the merchants nearby. He does so and as he’s speaking to the shopkeeper, he is stabbed in the back. His things are left behind and he makes his way out to the street. At the temple, the priests say that they hear a scream from outside. The others burst out into the street and see that Filarion has been stabbed and someone is pulling out a dagger from his back. Hadrian and Dardenne run after the person into an alley, but they have disappeared.

Hadrian searches the area and sees two auras of evil. Dardenne calls for the city guard. Gregory heals Filarion and the priests catch up with them. Filarion explains what happened and the assistant priest goes to get the city guard and militia.

Meanwhile, Hadrian, Dardenne and Darius run through the streets and between two buildings. Suddenly Dardenne and Hadrian are stabbed from behind and are down. Darius cries for help and tries attacking and backing up from the invisible foes. One of them seems to trip and he sees some dust come up like someone has fallen. He shoots an arrow and it seems to stick in the air. Finally the others arrive and the cleric heals Dardenne. Darius is stabbed and goes down, and so does brother Gregory. Dardenne gets up and casts a sleep spell at what he thinks is the area where the assassins are, but gets a knife in the back himself and falls.

At this point the only people standing are Filarion, Zert and the cleric. Zert, being evil, thinks that this is a great opportunity to attack the cleric. The cleric casts Hold on him and he freezes, then the cleric takes him out. Filarion fires arrow after arrow at the invisible assassin but doesn’t take him down. Finally the cleric casts Hold on him and Filarion shoots a final arrow that kills him. Darius searches him and his hands start becoming invisible. Apparently they had some solution or dust on them that made them invisible. Suddenly the other assassin becomes visible — he is still alive but being held by the cleric’s spell. Darius dispatches him. The militia comes to the area and Filarion explains the whole story to them.

Hadrian and Dardenne are taken to the temple. Dardenne is healed but Hadrian is completely dead. They need to spend an entire day resurrecting him, and Brother Gregory helps.

The next day, Dardenne, Filarion and Darius go back to the shop to see if they can recover what was stolen. The head of the militia is there and lets us in. He mentions that there were two militia men who worked here but they didn’t respond to the call and didn’t come back the next day. Most likely they were working with the evil men. He gives us a description of them in case we run across them.

Inside, we see a lot of hard tack and other dry goods. The ivory box and gold chain are where Filarion dropped them when he was stabbed. They are recovered. We look for secret doors but do not see any. There are some nice looking horses in here. In the back room we find a small chest with a bunch of gold, some test tubes, a black scarab with the letters TZGY engraved on it, and other standard gear. Darius grabs a composite short bow and a composite crossbow as well.

Back at the temple, we hear chanting coming from the main area. We are not welcome there so we take a look at the two assassins’ bodies. We find armor, weapons and some riches. Zert also has a bunch of things that we will divide up.

The next morning, Hadrian is back awake, having come back from the dead. He takes everyone to the bar to celebrate. We then divvy up the goods that we found.
