Session 17: Letter to Mayor Ormond

Mayor Ormond,

I have much to inform you of and little time to do it in. I will try to be succinct.

Based on intelligence we gathered from townsfolk, our band explored the temple of Merikka last night. We attempted to enter without drawing attention to ourselves but were immediately attacked by wolves and guards. We had to defend ourselves and slayed the men and beasts. Upon exploring the interior of the temple, we encountered several groups of foes -- including men, goblins, and reanimated skeletons -- who each came upon us with deadly force. Each time, we were forced to fight for our lives and each time emerged victorious. We also happened upon the priestess Misha who was asleep. As she did not attack us, we left her to slumber. What we found inside the temple was disturbing indeed. There were slashed tapestries, false idols, rooms that appeared dedicated to torture and slaughter, and a young girl imprisoned who had been cruelly beaten and starved. The girl is currently being protected by unnamed parties. This holy site has been defiled by an evil force.

When we awoke this morning, we became aware that certain townsfolk had learned of our deeds and that it may not be safe for us in the town. Because of the current danger and because several of our party were gravely injured, we have retreated to outside of the village to recover our strength and strategize our next steps. I hope this letter finds you and reassures you that we have not abandoned you. We will soon return to assist you in ridding your village of this evil once and for all.
