Gato and Andi are druids from the bent willow circle. sean is from the faldon monastery. gato sees a black shape enter and later exit the water. skeletons attack the druids, and the party protects the camp until the elder druids can put up a natural protection.
The party travels to the monastery to seek aid. Sean facilitates the group gaining access to the monastery, and the group visits the fantastic library before being granted an audience with the grandmaster. Sean accepts a quest to become a monastery elder, and gato gets verbally bitch slapped by the grandmaster. sean gains access to the monastery vault, and uses an item to scry the bottom of the lake. he sees a man (gersh) covered in runes and skeletons coming out of his unconscious body.
party meets up with sky and rachael who are part of a caravan going to the monastery. the caravan is attacked and most people are killed. rachael and sky join the party and the group resolves to get rid of the undead infestation of the lake.

Andi, Sean and Gato travel into the depths of the lake. Gato and Andi travel as sharks, and sean as a monk. once to the bottom they find a horde of skeletons. Gato gets grappled by some of them, and while Andi distracts the skeletons Sean grabs gersh and escapes. They take gersh to the monastery where they find out who trapped gersh at the bottom of the lake. they decide to go to bright walls in order to cure gersh and discover more about this unusual occurance.

the party sets off following the trade routes and first comes to the small trade town of woodside. party stops for supplies in the tavern and although they hear talk of some new business entering the town and possibly pissing off the elves, they decide to do nothing. they leave town and travel north along the trade route. next they come to farmhaven. this prosperous farm town is welcoming and the group stops at the tavern. gato gets drunk (for the first time ever), and gersh investigates a magically blessed "town drunk" in the corner. it turns out to be thee man that imprisoned him in the lakei n the first place, (given away by the man's glowing red left eye). the party fights him, and the man escapes, but not before he casts something that summons zombies and puts a mark above the tavern. the party follows his tracks down the road and evetually off towards the forest.

the party tracks the dark figure into the forest. they come across a kobold camp. after many shenanigans involving rocks and their tree related origins, gersh attempts to color spray a group of kobolds. they mostly resist it, but decide that Gersh is one of their masters. with some interpretation by Rachael, they convince the kobolds that gersh is indeed a master and with an amazing pyrotechnic display he vanishes. the kobolds hold a ceremony in his honor, and while they are distracted the party slips into their tents. they find a hole in the ground that leads them to the kobolds underground lair. inisde they find a suspicious trap door that sean demolishes with a punch. they descend further underground...

the group encounters a secret order of karathus base. they are greeted by the secretary, Elektra. Gersh charms her with his boyish good looks and the group moves on. they encounter a mirror and using it find out that arcturus is there and that a dwarf is being held in the prison. they rescue the dwarf (kaiser), and knock out/tie up the secretary. the group tries to kill Arcturus, but after his human form is killed, he turns into a balor. the party jumps through the mirror and ends up outside bright walls.

SUMMER PARTY:
The annual wizards conference in the Dalelands is here, and people from all walks of life have gathered in the Daleside Wizard's tower. Ben and Joe are a Druid/Monk pair from the bent willow circle. Jorie is a Bard, Jack... The party is standing and chatting about the finer points of magic spells when Joe notices somethign from the corner. Three wizards seem to be in a trance staring at a symbol on the ground, and a black cloaked fiure flees the scene. As the wizards turn mad and start blindly casting spells, the party chases the black cloaked figure down the spiral stairs and into the study. The figure casts a spell and burns a hole straight through the tower, and then in the confusion escapes. As the party leaves they are intercepted by members of the Order of the White Hand. Fast talking by Jorie gets them out of a night in jail, and they are given a sending stone and told not to leave town. The next day they are summoned to the Keep and interrogated by white hand knights. they convince the knights that they are not members of the Order of Karathus, and the knights recruit them for some work. They travel to the small town of malondale to look for possible Order of Karathus informants. A sweep of the area reveals a small campsite in a pile of rocks outside of town. At night the party witnesses an airship (one hasn't been seen in 100 years. since the gnomes all dissappeared.) The next day they see kevin come into town, the town is amazed to see a real live gnome, but in the crowd a black cloaked figure steals kevin's clock and runs off. the party tracks the figure to the campsite, kills him, and then stages a trap for the airship. they board the ship and take it over.
