Cleaning Out The Cellar

 

The Spider`s Web

 

On returning to Roesone, the party discovered that the town of Theoren’s Landing in north of the country had been overrun by forces from the  Spiderfell.

 

While Marlae marched north with the army from Proudglaive, the party accepted a mission to take a message to the Count of Ghoried to co-ordinate battle plans to repel the invaders.

 

Arriving at Ghoried Manor, the party discovered the keep had been overrun and a second detachment of Spiderfell troops was mustering there. Realising that this would place a major force behind Maralae’s back when she attempted to retake Theoren’s Landing, the part reolved to warn Marlae.

 

First however they decided to see if they could discover the fate of the the old count and his family. Entering the keep the freed some prisoners and discovered that the count and his family had been slain by giant spiders that had scaled the walls in the night before the orogs assaulted the keep.Sowing what confusion they could among the orog troopers as a delaying tactic (and slaying not a few) the party hurried to warn the baroness.

 

Arriving in the nick of time to warn her, the baroness was able to alter her battle plans and successfully drive the invaders out.

 

The party acquitted themselves well in the battle and at the following victory feast Lord Norvaire was proclaimed Count of Ghoried for services to the realm.
