As morning arrives, Audrey Rose brews an antitoxin. The companions make their way down the path. At midday, they arrive at an overgrowth. Three caern wights emerge as they enter the clearing. The head caern wight bangs his shield and yells in goblin, “Halt. Go no further.” The foul undead informs the adventurers that this is the resting place of a hobgoblin warrior and that anyone who approaches will die.
Sabrina tries to negotiate with the creatures, but lead caern wight responds, “Come any closer and we will attack.” Sabrina tries to negotiate further.
Hendra takes a step forward and the caern wights move to intercept. Tweetie-Bear flies over the caern wight's head and grabs it. Bosley casts burning hands. Audrey Rose throws a bomb at one, lighting it up. The head caern wight takes a swipe at Hendra. Hendra feels the wound go cold, and everything goes grey as she feels weakened. The next caern wight steps forward and slashes at Bosley; he too weakens. The last caern wight attacks Sabrina and misses. Zita twirls her way through her allies and slashes at the caern wight missing it. Sabrina casts glitterdust upon the undead. Dol casts haste on Tweetie Bear, Zita, Bosely, and Hendra. Bosley slashes at a caern wight. All three caern wight swing and miss. Tweetie-Bear rears up and tears the caern wight apart. Zita flanks Bosley. Sabrina encourages the group, and Hendra closes to attack, slicing the creature through the ribcage to the mouth. Tweetie-Bear slashes at the last caern wight. Bosley slashes and misses. Audrey Rose throws a bomb at it. The angry caern wight attacks Zita, weakening her. Zita screams, “No not again!” and flees. Sabrina forbids her from running, so she stops. Hendra beheads the last caern wight. As calm settles, the companions hear voices in their minds saying, “Thank you.”
Sabrina walks into the structure. She hears a click but nothing happens. Sabrina and Zita also enter and find an assortment of brassieres, rings, and amulets. They loot the caern wights and get three breastplates of hobgoblin manufacture and three long swords.
The adventurers continue along the game trail. Ahead they hear something running very quickly to their left. A big black panther lands on the trail and then runs off. The companions continue down the trail. It’s almost sunset when they hear voices coming down the trail. The group comes out in a larger clearing. They see a large stone hut. People are working outside the house. There is a hen house with legs. Sabrina yells, “Hey you. Where’s the hag that runs this house?” The woman in the garden brushes herself off and glares at Sabrina. Sabrina convinces them to lead the adventurers inside.
The door slams shut, two windows open, and a volley of arrows is fired. Audrey Rose runs towards the door of the house and casts fox’s cunning. Bosley follows after Audrey Rose and casts acid splash, but the man slams the door in his face. Zita rushes forward and loads her crossbow. Dol casts Wind Wall on the windows. Tweetie-Bear runs up to the door.
Bosley steps up to the door and opens it for the party. He immediately encounters a fletchling Audrey Rose throws a shock bomb at the creature and dazzles her. Zita enters the room and is caught by two other creatures that incapacitate her. Sabrina lights them up with glitterdust. Dol runs forward and heals Zita. Hendra rushes in with her sword drawn and attacks with a brutal slash. Another fletchling enters the room and shoots at Hendra.
Bosley slashes through the door and badly hurts the creature’s arm. Frozen blood drops sail across the air. Audrey Rose throws a bomb and takes out two of the fletchlings. Zita attempts to do a crutch shot but unfortunately misses. Sabrina casts hideous laughter; the woman falls over laughing. Sabrina starts kicking the downed woman. Tweetie-Bear rushes into the room and attacks. Audrey Rose throws a bomb into the room, but it misses and bounces around. Zita tries to attack but misses. Dol trips the fletchling and Tweetie-Bear closes in and finishes it off. Hendra finishes off the remaining fletchling.
Sabrina starts messing with the rug and the fireplace starts talking. “Who are you? Why are you here?” Sabrina gets smart with the fireplace. “I am the guardian of this place. My mistress will not be disturbed.” Sabrina thinks the voice is coming ten feet from the fireplace. She steps forward and gets hit by fire. Sabrina slashes into the air near the fireplace and misses. The fireplace starts to move toward Sabrina.
