During the night, the party is once again alerted to the presence of the raiders coming out of the portal. A group of four humans and four half-orcs have appeared from the portal and are preparing for a raid. The raiders are discussing the settlement of Glen, about half an hours ride to the north. Falin and Rentric decide that its a good idea to give chase and warn the small thorpe of Glen about the upcoming raid.
Setting off in hot pursuit of the raiders, Rentric and Falin charge on. Smashing through the bush at unheard of speeds the two almost reach the clearing where Glen is located when out of the shadows steps a cleric of Bane that smashes Rentric with a morningstar. The cleric, Kletus, and Rentric exchange blows on horseback as Falin tries in vain to pepper the cleric with arrows. The only arrow to hit manages to pierce Rentric's armor! Seconds later, Kletus lies motionless in the saddle and Rentric has been bloodied.
Falin
approaches through the bush towards the thorpe. Seeing the humans
readying their horses for departure in front of the burning thorpe is too
much. Notching an arrow and letting it fly right into the leg of
one of the human warriors. "Someone is attacking Kletus!! Charge!!!"
With that the humans gather the half-orcs and begin to scramble towards
the bush.
Rentric grabs the cleric and his war-horse and takes off, with Falin in hot pursuit. The raiders chase after the two heroes. While charging through the forest, Rentric's superior skills manage to loose both the raiders and Falin. Hiding in the bush, Rentric manages to overhear the raiders and their plans. They plan to give up their chase and forget about Kletus, and return to the citadel. After waiting a whole minute, Rentric continues on to camp.
At camp, the party decides to return to Ashabenford and collect their reward for the two prisoners they have captured. The party arrives in town and is greeted by Jarrold Rold. He immediately takes possession of Kletus and tells the party to go to the house of high council for their reward. The party spends a day in the town, collecting the reward of 500 gold and the severed hand of Kletus. The severed hand should allow access to the portal which will take the party to the Citadel. The party buys equipment, rations, and horces and prepares for the journey back to Galath's Roost.
