Ronan pointed out that I forgot to record the name of Timmy’s father, so for the record his name is Killian.
Dinner at Vilma’s was delicious, but we could hear wolves howling outside. She told us some great stories of the town, and she also told us she has seen scaly humanoids with crests on their heads, crossing north of her cottage and climbing the walls of the temple, plus an unpleasant odor from the temple area! I think we know what those things were!
After dark, when we left Vilma’s house, there were lights in some of the homes and the inn, but no one appeared to be outside. We managed to sneak down to the Foaming Mug Inn without being seen, got inside the window, and Lhoss, Gnorcia (that's me), and Cheeky went down where we left the Troglodytes and cut off their ears as proof we had done battle and killed them. Lhoss’ spare cloak is really going to stink because that’s what she used to wrap them up for safekeeping.
Back outside, we headed up to the temple. We spread out outside the temple grounds and climbed trees to see if we could see anything over the walls, but apparently we weren't as sneaky as we thought because two wolves suddenly appeared inside on the north and ran toward the northeast corner where Ronan was peering in from his tree! Behind them came two of what appeared to be human guards, yelling, “Who goes there?!” We all ran to the north side of the wall but doing so appeared to draw even more attention to us so we decided to leave quickly and go back to the elves’ house for backup. Alas, the house was dark and quiet, and no one answered our knock, so we headed back to the temple grounds. Something simply had to be done about that place!
It was quiet again, so we made our way around to the east side wall where Lhoss climbed up and set up a rope system for the rest of us to get over. Ronan, Chiki and I made it over the wall and inside the temple grounds before two angry wolves appeared from the north with two guards close behind them, yelling about intruders! The wolves attacked Ronan and he quickly killed one. Lhoss put both guards to sleep and I threw up an illusion of Ronan, which the second wolf chased back to the northeast corner of the temple. Armaziti then made it up and over the wall, and Calbach climbed to the top of the wall and got out his bow.
Armaziti cast a spell to bless us all with both power and courage, which we really needed because arrows were flying all over and people were running around swinging at the last wolf, which was attacking the illusion. Finally the wolf went down just as three more guards rounded the corner! Chiki and Calbach shot arrows at the guards, Ronan ran up and attacked with his sword, and the illusion of Ronan backed him up. One guard got knocked out! Lhoss jumped down from the wall and attacked with her new staff, knocking the head in of one of the guards and slitting the throat of the unconscious one. The third guard ended up dead but it all happened so fast and I was so focused on keeping up my illusion that I don't know if it was all those arrows sticking out of him, or Ronan, Chiki, or Armaziti, who were all attacking him. Whatever it was, we were relieved nothing was left to attack us. At least for the moment!
