The greatest thief on Zearth

After enjoying a pleasant meal and drink at the pub Garridan attempts a little thievery. The plan was to take a belt pouch. But plans are meant to change it seems. After being caught, the man, who turned out to be quite a gentlemen did not report him. Instead he excused himself and went to leave. Garridan wanted that purse so bad, he followed him and tried again. He botched it and the man made quick work of Garridan's outfit with the tip of his sword.
The group leaves this small village behind and heads further North in the Direction of Nigel's scepter. They scale a hug water fall and encounter a strange tree.

Burning down the house

The group returns to the Citadel of Tears hide out. The place appears to have been cleared out. The only thing the thieving bastards appear to have left behind where their women and children who appear to be frantically running around in a panic. Cooper bars the door and the group leaves to go get their constable friend. They find him in a peculiar position on the floor of his flat stabbing his wife to death. He is no help to the group though, he is in shock.
The group hides the body of his wife for him and returns but he is too far gone it seems. The group then meets what Cooper still thinks is a ghost. He looks like a twin of Percy except for minor differences in hair and clothing color. They befriend this lad and tell him of the demise of what can only be his twin brother. He introduces himself as Nigel They tell him of the his fathers skull and return to the Exileton flat so he can meet Madame Tessa and retrieve his brothers things. But alas, the place is in flames. They ask around and no one seems to be helping to put the fire out. They don't even know if Tessa was inside or not. They head to the bizarre and to their relief find her alive and well shopping away the day. They immediately get her out of the city and head to their friend Holly's hunting camp in the woods.
Garridan sneaks back to the city and retrieves Percy's items from the burnt down flat. After presenting the items to Nigel, he produces his old scepter that he has had for as long as he can remember. Just as he brandishes it forth, it magically attaches itself to the skull and the gem finds its way into the left socket. The item appears to point north
The group procures some cold weather and adventuring supplies as well as some horses and decides to help Nigel uncover the mysteries of his scepter. Sherrell and Tessa decide to head back into the city and begin to rebuild.
The group heads north along the river for many days and then, once they found a secure location, cross the river. The group now can tell they are no longer in their native Kingdom. They are now in the Kingdom of Portlund. They continue North and enter a small village known as Southdown. They head to the Screaming Wolf for a pint and some lodging.

WE ARE ALL FRIENDS HERE

When Garradin, Percy, & Guliver return from their hunting trip, they head over to the Dank Dunk for some dinner. They fill in Kim and Cooper on their recent exploits and also introduce them to their new housemate Percy.
Not long after their food arrived at the table then 8 guys wearing the tattoo of the citadel and tear stroll in. They demand 1,000 gold for each of the their brothers who were slain in the alley. Naturally the group refuses and a great battle occurs. The group kills 6, mortally wounds a 7th and the eighth guy escaped. Kim heals the one victim so Percy and Guliver can question him. They find out where the hide out is after Percy removes his ear & Cooper removes the mans tattoo from his neck with his dagger.
The group quarrels a bit over how the equipment from the dead men should be divided up. After some deliberation though, they all come to an understanding and agree to split the shares evenly. They head back the Exileton flat. Madame Tessa has made them some gruel.
In the morning, the group wakes up to a first class breakfast. Bacon, eggs, toast, and cheese. During breakfast, Madame Tessa informs them all that she fired the roofers they hired and wants them to do the work themselves. Guliver convinces her that they will do it tomorrow because they have some important business to handle today
They head over to the hideout of the tower of tears. It is an old abandoned church. there is a boy outside reading a book. After some words they attack the boy only to find out that it is an illusion. They break into the old church and find a trap door... The opening appears to have a darkness spell on it. Garradin heads down first and is almost killed by a barrage of magic missiles. The group makes quick work of these mages..
