Morgansfort Again.

Fourth session of our Morgansfort campaign and another delve into the old island fortress. New hirelings were employed; two wandering treasure seekers, one a dwarven outcast of Gryk Thalek named Phireal and a human guildsman Illthmier Bakker and a wandering elf named Gulderphen. We also met a new party member, a halfling priest of Agni named Zethera and his companion Gormadoc Goldworthy.
This session was quite a bit more combat intensive than the previous sessions. We had a running battle with some bombardier beetles which kept retreating around every corner. The goblin raiding party that had to be dealt with and a surprise encounter with a group of hobgoblins that we had to pay a hefty wereguild to in order to press on; they had a decided tactical advantage and combat was not an option. Deeper in the dungeon the party found a mithril long sword and a set of mithril chain mail, after which we were set upon by a pack of ghouls. Brave and loyal Greyforn fell to the claws of the undead beasts but the sword proved its worth. After that, it was decided that retreat was prudent as we had one dead and two with wounds. We ended up fleeing from a group of gnolls and made it back to the keep without further incident. The fallen will be mourned and new friends will be met.
Another great session, the new player Niko was awesome as was our DM Rick, as always. Thanks for a great game.
