Temporarily postponing their quest for the Chaos Crystals, the party went to a small town from which people had been disappearing. The party agreed to look for a poor woman's son. Bandits raided the town. During a combat encounter, the party killed three bandits and took one, named Clancy, captive. From that bandit, they learned valuable information. End of session.

The Slave Ring

    After the food festival, the party found themselves in the plains in the Good Country. The Queen's messenger arrived, delivering the message that the Queen wanted them to postpone their search for the Chaos Crystals in order to investigate two disturbances. 1: People were disappearing from a nearby village and the surrounding area. 2: Reports of strange happenings in an ancient, abandoned temple. Even though Shavey wanted to go to the temple because she is a heartless elf who does not care about people, Reginald and Kyle convinced her to investigate the disappearances with them.

    Arriving at the small village, both Shavey and Reginald sniffed the air. They smelled air. Shavey kept trying to sniff the air. Finally, she caught a wiff of manure. She looked for the manure, and found a giant pile of manure. After that... they entered the town and encountered a sobbing woman who told them that her son had disappeared. The party agreed to look for the boy, who is about 12, tousled brown hair, green eyes, and potato-sack-like clothes named Percy. Just then bandits rode in and raided the village taking prisoners. A shifty man (called Mr. Shady by the party) killed the Sherriff, threw a smoke bomb at the party, and kidnapped the woman. Right as the smoke bomb hit, Reginald was already running to the sheriff to see if he was okay. He was dead. Four bandits came and engaged the party. Two at Kyle, one at Shavey, and one at Reginald. The bandits completely missed their initial attacks, despite having a higher initiative than the party members. (Fred and Donkey do not engage in combat.) The bandits attacking Kyle and Shavey did not manage to do any damage, and the one fighting Reginald did not deal much. On Kyle's first attack, he ran his longsword straight through the gut of one of the bandit's, killing him in one shot. The second bandit to fall was knocked to 0 hitpoints, but kept alive a knife-point by Shavey. The third to fall was beheaded by Kyle. Finally, after killing his opponents, Kyle helped Reginald with his opponent who was giving him trouble. The finishing blow was Kyle cutting the bandit's head in half in diagonal fashion.

   After healing the unconscious bandit with one of Reginald's spells, the party tied up and interrogated the surviving bandit, named Clancy. He revealed the basic direction of a bandit camp. He named his leader (the bandit lord) McClellan. The party took Clancy to a nearby jail and took a long rest.
