The party began this session arriving at Elara's Halfway House, an orphanage eight miles outside of Shroudbase.
The blackened husk of the orphanage lies atop the hill. Charred timbers are strewn among piles of caked ash and the only edifice left standing is a soot-stained stone arch. A small stuffed doll lies below the arch, her face seared off and her patchwork dress spilling dirty stuffing. Beside her, a troop of half-melted tin soldiers stand in formation, their bodies twisted and deformed by the blaze that claimed their owner’s life.
After some time standing around the player characters searched the area for any clues. After some very thorough searching, a trapdoor leading below was found within the ruins. The party kicked in the door.
The stench of rot belches forth from this rank cellar. A chipped, blood-stained oaken table rests against one wall, with all manner of blades and barbed instruments laid out on it. A single pair of rusted shackles is bolted into the opposite wall, whose bricks are stained in a bloody account of pain and cruelty. The robed corpse of a woman on the floor is the source of the reeking stench of decay.
The body was being consumed by a swarm of spiders that, in addition to their mother, attacked the player characters. Upon investigation of the body, it was learned that the woman must have died sometime before the fire, as her throat was ripped out. On the table in the room, the party discovered two masterwork silver daggers and rotten bundle of wolfsbane. After spending the night in the area trying to figure out what to do next, a rail thin girl appeared who stated that she had survived the orphanage fire and that she had seen the kids that had gone missing. She lead the party to a small campsite not far from the orphanage. There they found a shredded tent, and signs of a struggle everywhere, including broken twigs, crushed foilage, scraps of clothing, patches of blood, and reptilian scales that were identified as kobold scales. Jeva, the girl, knew where the kobolds had taken the children and the party set off towards the old dwarven monastery that they had discovered just the other day.
