Broken Spire Keep Part 1

In game dates: Brezen 19 and Brezen 20 (Spring Equinox)

Gist: Party had Kuiper reach out to Oleanne to find a cure for the rotting illness, then set out to Broken Spire Keep.

Part 1: Resting overnight at Kuiper's cabin (Ranger). Kuiper was hospitable, and sent birds to track Oleane for a cure. Oleanne is the druid the party has worked w/before. Kuiper expects her to come to the cabin by the 22nd.

Part 2: Approaching Broken Spire Keep The trip itself was fairly quiet - and the party pushed hard to get there before nightfall on the 20th. From there, the part observed Broken Spire Keep from a distance for some time. They learned of a sentry in a watch tower, and saw scouts return to the keep who took a strange path in. Based on the odd path, the party surmised traps were likely.

Part 3: Assaulting the keep The group approached under nightfall, using the silence spell and find traps to hide the approach. Then, the group belly crawled across the roof, charmed the tower sentry, and descended into the courtyard. From there, things rapidly turned violent. Due to the charmed sentry, the bandits at the keep were unable to mount a very organized defense, so the party was able to mostly face them in small groups. However, at the end of the struggle, Ranchfegus, an evil priest emerged from the depths below the keep. He took flight on black wings, landed on the roof, and began raising slain bandits as zombies.

Recent recap

In general, the group has continued building a name for themselves in the region, and learned of a wave of kidnappings and it's origin in a ruined keep deep in the woods. In the most recent session, the party finished leading a caravan to Parlfray's Keep, taking their earnings for caravan duty.   At the Keep, the party met Parlfray, informed him of some recent goings-on, found him to be a bit shifty, and met his son - Lyntern, an eager 18 year old lad looking for adventure. Lyntern suggested that he could show the group the way to the keep, so long as the party gives him soem adventure. The group decided to not take Lyntern directly to the keep in the woods, instead, taking him on a lesser (but still paid) adventure to seek pilgrims lost on the moors.   On the way out to the Moors, the group encountered and defeated some ogres, before finding the slain pilgrims.   The pilgrims appeared to have fallen prey to terrifying, two headed dogs - who descended on...
