Session 3

Grimgrin and The Beggar were in the tavern the next day when a townie came running in screaming about zombies in the marketplace! They quickly arrived there in time to see a man in black speaking with some zombies, one of them in guard clothing. After they had dispached the zombies, a town guard finally arrived on the scene. The two guards who had been killed in the zombie attack were meant to guard a trade caravan in a few hours, and Grimgrin and The Beggar gratiously offered to take their places. Throughout the journey, Grimgrin attempted to peek in the caravan to see what the cargo was. He found that the caravan was well-constructed and could not be seen into without opening it, and he couldn't hear any distinguishing sounds from the cargo.

After a tense bear attack, the party arrived at a small encampment, with five locked buildings that seemed to be for storage. Grimgrin successfully pursuaded a very reluctant guard to give him a share of the cargo as reward for guarding the caravan. The guard opened the caravan, revealing a dozen bound and gagged people! Upon realizing what was going on, Grimgrin immediately turned and killed the guard next to him. The Beggar finished off the second guard, and they set off exploring the camp. Having found keys on one of the guards, they unlocked all the buildings one by one. In the first two were starving people, in the third was food that the people immediately set about eating. In the fourth building were zombies, and in the fifth were dead bodies. The Beggar accidentally set the fourth building on fire during the zombie battle, but fortunately the fire died out after the building collapsed.

Having thus dispached the zombies, the pair set about loading the caravan up with food and people. The people

turned out to be from Eswick, Ingdale , and Bastow ; all small villages south of Havengul. Also, the princess was among those who had been abducted. The caravan went back to just outside Havengul, and Grimgrin went into town to receive their reward for escorting the caravan. Meanwhile, The Beggar noticed the man in black racing away on a horse. The man dropped an onyx gem with a distinctive symbol on it.

Upon Grimgrin's return with the money, the large group made their way to Eswick. Here, they were received well and put up for the night.
