	~~== On~~ the ~~road ==~~		*Introduce the town of Ridgerun
	As long as the players go down a road, they will see a raided caravan. There are a dozen wagons and carts, toppled and broken. Amongst the wreckage are with 3 humanoid corpses, a half-dozen dead horses and ~~donkeys, and an badly injured, almost dead man.~~		*Mine Manager comes up and asks them for help

	**~~The bandits took all the supplies they were carrying~~, ~~killed a number of animals, killed~~ the ~~guards, and took~~ the ~~rest of the caravaneers~~.
	**The caravan was bound for Gilhold, coming from Bazit.

	~~A trail~~ is ~~easily visible, heading towards~~ the ~~Raider camp~~.		== The Dungeon ==
			The mine has tunneled quite a ways and the miners were inspecting the damage when they were taken captive. One of the miners managed to escape to bring the news. The entrance is now being guarded by badly equipped miners.

			== March 31st ==
			*Discuss last session
			*Return to the keep with 50 villagers + the priest, Arth Smartwhisk, in tow.
			** 5 progressive skill checks, create tension.
			*By the time they return it's about 2AM
			**The governess tells them that it seems like a good number of the raiders have been leaving town over the last hour, though there has been a growing gathering in the center of town as well.
			**The governess also offers them: 2 potions of healing, a potion of superior healing, and a wand of Chromatic Orb.
			*If the players decide to rest, they will be called by the end of their short-rest that a rather large group of raiders is gathering closer to the gate.

			At this point, Langdedrosa Cyanwrath will call out:
			*"Defenders of Gilhold! The night has been bountiful, and I am feeling generous. I hold a dozen of your pathetic, useless ilk - and I will trade them back to you. Send out your best warrior to face me. Perhaps one of those cowards that has been killing some of my most devoted."

			Langdedrosa is a large, blue half dragon and is armed to the teeth. Behind him, about a dozen of villagers are indeed captured - about 3/4 of them children. They are guarded by a smattering of kobolds and human figures.

			Someone will step up if not the players.

			After the fight, the raiders will march off on-masse, leaving no raiders or mercenaries behind. They move to the north.

			Governess Marlyne will ask the players to head to Bazit and deliver a message to the burgomeister Aedan Evenspell, saying he needs to know about this incident.

The Chapel

	== The Chapel ==		== The Chapel ==
			Dozens of townsfolk (40 ish) have barricade themselves in the chapel of Pelor, which is surrounded by raiders. The attackers tried setting fire tot he structure, but with little success. Now they are using an improvised battering ram, and will likely break through in minutes.
			The building is a large and square, made of fieldstone. It is rather tall and inside a big altar occupies the middle of the temple with other worship areas around it.

			=== Enemies ===
			There are 3 groups of enemies outside of the temple:
			#A group battering the door
			#A group circling the temple in a screeching mob
			#A group heaping burning straw against the rear door

			'''Group 1'''<br>
			A Dragonclaw, two cultists, and six kobolds.
			*The cultists are handling the battering ram
			*The kobolds are keeping watch, but are distracted when group 2 comes by
			*The Dragonclaw is in charge

			'''Group 2'''<br>
			Three cultists, ten kobolds, two ambush drakes.
			*strung out about 50ft
			*Taking 8 minutes, or 2 minutes per side to circle the building

			'''Group 3'''<br>
			Two cultists, six kobolds tightly clustered at the BACK DOOR
			*Obscured by the smoke, which covers everything in 30ft around them.
			*Most easy target

			=== Staging a rescue ===
			Screams of townsfolk can easily be heard from the outside, though it is impossible to estimate how many people are inside. The backdoor can easily be unlocked with thieves tools.
			*Townsfolk are near panic, requiring DC15 charisma to take 'orders'.
			*Arth Smartwhisk, the priest of Pelor, is very glad to see them and looks to them for a plan. He offers to heal obviously injured characters.

			Town is of the essence, as the front door is being taken down.
			*The door has 30hp
			*Every 10-30 seconds the door is hit for 1d6hp
			*At 20hp: Cracks large enough to see through
			*At 10hp: Door is sagging in its hinges
			*At 5hp: Door can go at any moment.

			If the evacuation is not going, enemies will go for townsfolk first, group 1 pouring in first.
			*A kobold automatically kills 1 villagers every round.

			If the evacuation is going, the players can easily block enemies from going after the villagers and close the door on them.
