Recap of Session 4:
1. Heroes fought dragon on the way back to town.
a. Everybody but Brapples was knocked unconscious and he finally saved the day after bringing Kethra back.
2. Made it back into town and instead of giving the town master any magical items from Gnomengarde they tricked him into taking a shiny rope.
3. Found 3 additional jobs on the job board.
a. Mountain’s Toe Gold Mine
b. Butterskull Ranch
c. Logger’s Camp
4. The heroes decided to go to the gold mine and were directed to the Stonehill inn to find the new mine overseer that they would be escorting to the mine.
a. The heroes made it to the mines without encountering any troubles, however they did come across some recently frozen orcs off the path not too far from the mines.
b. The group reached the mines in the evening and introduced Don Jon Raskins to the current mining crew and decided to stay the night at the mines due to not wanting to travel back to Phandalin in the dark.
c. Upon waking up in the morning DJR runs into the room the group slept in announcing that the miners had turned into wererats and he needed help clearing them out of the mine.
d. The current overseer of the mines told the adventurers that they had recently invaded the mines after being driven out of their previous location by orcs. The overseer offered the adventurers the option that if they can clear out their previous place of the orcs, the wererats would gladly leave the mines and go back.
e. The adventurers agreed to the deal since it is not far off the road from their next quest, and left with DJR staying behind to take stock of the mines and see what he would have to do to get production back up to speed.
5. The adventurers made it back to town without any issues and told the town master that they had escorted DJR to the mines with no issues. They collected their reward and after making some quick stops around town settled back in at the Inn for a night’s rest.
a. Bronk and Remus stayed up drinking a bit and, in the morning, Bronk suffered from a hangover while Remus was extra peppy and ready for the day.
b. Upon leaving town, the group was once again descended upon by the white dragon who promptly attacked again and knocked Remus and Bronk both unconscious before being scared away by Kethra landing a javelin in the dragon’s neck.
6. The group decided to head back to town and get some rest for the injured before heading on to Butterskull ranch.
