4th September 2013

As the party arrive at Court Farm it is quite clear that something in wrong - the gates are barred! Some vigorous knocking succeeds in only getting a response from a young girl who quickly runs to her father in some distress. A polite enquiry by Mardram reveals that a serious situation has occurred. Mrs Court has been trapped in the basement by several beasts of unknown origin. With no knowledge of their foes, the party spend a few minutes preparing themselves with various spells, much to the agitation of Mr Court.

Cautiously they enter the basement, its darkness only alleviated by a overturned lamp burning in the corner. The dim flickering light reveals a couple of fiendish looking brutes prowling the room.

Insert Fight sequence here...

The last beast flees underground only surfacing briefly to take a swipe at Mary

With the last beast hiding, Linden and Mardram are able to locate the trapped Mrs Court in a sub basement. As they try to get her to follow them to the surface, the last wolverine burst through the wall almost collapsing the stairwell An awkward battle ensues, destabilising the walls further. The creature finally dies and with a bit of bracing of walls, Mrs Court and Linden escape, barely!

Unfortunately the Courts life savings are now buried under several tons of earth.

With everyone safe, talk turns to how to retreive the Courts buried safe. With a little scratching of heads Andrei comes up with a plan to use one of Mardrams Summoned Earth Elementals to safely dig down Following a quick batch of instructions from Linden the elemental vanishes through the nearest wall only to emerge a few moments later trailing the slightly dented safe behind it.

With the safe now... safe Mardram examines the corpses and get mary to skin them resulting in 2 hides (500gp, 1500gp) and a variety of dagger sized claws and teeth

Mr Court then takes them on a tour of the stables and offers them a good deal on some fine, fine horses (4000gp for 5)

One more door in the stable remains and Mr Court takes them through to see nothing less than a young Hippogryff! The beast was found in the mountains, alongside the corpse of its mother and Mr Court is trying to rear it himself.
