Adv Summary.

[Wright Frazier <khelek@ns1.cioe.com>]

Starttime: 3/1/26 or so.  End time 3/10/26.

On the previous week's adv, a Barrit died.  This week, a Barrit came
to town to figure out who all is responsible.

At the beginning, Aaron Barrit contacted and informed Mogradin and
Sandra that they would be accompanying him to Southham.  They took
a shortcut provided by Aaron to Southham, there they met one of
their local contacts, Virgil(Steve's character) a priest of Anubis,
who was instructed to show them around the city.  They were also
given a list of names of people to find and speak with, or if that
was not possible, capture and torture them.

The list included:
	Mindra Vi
	Valentino D'Nasti
	Maegwin Darwin
	Calliet
	Jonnie Chen
	Brigandor
	Rasp
	Brandon Willitz
	Alfonz Manchester
	Josef Torrenre
	Eddard Glascar

Sandra and Mogradin began by contacting those they had worked with in
the past first, Specifically Jonnie Chen, Calliet, and Rasp.  Then
they hired the Bureau of Messengers to post notices looking for
basically Thugs.  This caught the attention of someone who watches
such things, and so he inserted 1 of his people in that group.
They then set about with their 4 hired thugs to finding others
on the list.

They quickly found out that Brandon Willitz was a bandit, and set
their sites on him.  They left town to Brinshire, and there following
Jonnie's and Rasp(now calling himself Bad Ju Ju Fairie) directions
road towards the last known location of the Bandits that Willitz lead.
Before they setout they spent an evening at the "Beef House" a VERY
expensive restaurant that specializes in only Beef dishes, and then
stayed at the finest hotel in Southham, "The Southham Palace".  During
this time the plant informed his true employeers what was going on,
and then quaddrupled the fees of the other 3 thugs to swing them to
his side.  Also hoping that the party would meet with disaster, they
sent messengers by fast horse to the Bandit's camp and struck a deal.

The party walked into an ambush a day later that had been prepared for
them.  Not being completely sure it was who they were expecting, they
Bandit's commander parlayed at first.  Then once he was sure by spotting
Brigandor, they attacked.  Shooting the party up a bit.  The party
got split up and started fleeing in different directions.  A few
of the bandits were killed(6 or so in total) before the party got
away.  Maegwin, Darwin, and Jonnie fled in an opposite direction from 
the rest of the party, Jonnie was seperate from the other 2 and made
his way back to Southham on his own.  Maegwin and Darwin tried to
find the party, but choose the wrong road and eventually made their
way back to Southham.

The remainder of the party, Brigandor, Bad JuJu Fairie, Floyd, Virgil,
Mogradin, and Sandra captured a bandit, Miles, and Virgil bonded
with him using the empathy spell.  Miles told them that Brandon had
headed north to Aelran to sell off a sword he'd captured from the
dead Barrit, and that he had a week's head start.  After a bit
of toture, they determined that Miles wasn't lying too badly, and set
off after Brandon.

They checked each hostil along the way, with Sandra...interrogating
people to see if they'd seen Brandon.  After 5 days of
travel they found one that hadn't.  They figured that he'd
set out into Orc country.  On a whim, Mogradin checked the several
patrons, and spotted someone who might have been Brandon.  They had
miles check the guy out to see if it was him.  Miles lied and said
that it wasn't.  At that point the poison they'd been slipped earlier
started kicking in, and Floyd and Brigandor went unconcious as the
battle started.  

The party got lucky and Virgil's Instill Fears had a devastating
effect(I have never rolled so high on 3d6 checks in my life) as did
Bad JuJu's "Voice" spell.  They then butchered the villans piecemeal.

Afterwards they found the bodies of the true inkeeper and his family
under a compost heap in the back where they'd been killed almost
a week earlier.

They then made contact with Aaron Barrit, who sent a cleaner to
bring them back, and to dispose of the body and evidence.  The
last time they saw the inn, it was in flames and burning quite
brightly.  They took a shadow mount back to Southham which
delivered them there within a day.  Brigandor took a string of
8 horses or so, and setout for Kieron's Watch, intent on regaining
the favor of his deity.

I'm going to run a follow up adventure in a week or two that will
be further efforts to resolve this situation.  Where it leads? Dunno,
could lead to a war though.
