#55 - The path to "The Temple"

The party of 3rd level character reaches the trail that Venos had described to them.  He had told them of a secret outpost known as "The Temple".  Pale Moon uses this as a hide-out, and a meeting place with their goblin allies.  Venos told them that they should search the swamp in a certain area for wooden walk-ways.  These walk-ways would lead to the temple.

The find that a halfling rogue called "Lightfoot" has followed them on their journey.  He wants to join in the party.  He is seeking a potential reward from White Skull if he can give them information about the location of "The Temple". 

The party finds a dry niche in the swamp where they can take an extended rest.  And while doing so, Malkir, explores on his own.  On the trail, he encounters two zombies.  He finds them on his own at first, but after suffering some wounds, he decides to retreat back to the camp.

Later the party finds these same zombies and destroys them. 

They come to a fork in the road.  To the left, the trail continues, but seems to end in a gate in the distance.  The trail goes off to the right as well.

This trail is a walkway of wooden slabs.  In many places, it has tall rails, designed to keep out swamp creatures. 

The party decides to explore the trail to the right.  They encounter a patrol, 4 goblins and 2 worgs.    The goblins let our war cries and the worgs bare down on the party.  A fight ensues.  The party dispatches the goblins and worgs, and disposes the bodies in the swamp.

The return to the other branch of the trail, and stealthily approach the gate.  Behind the gate is large guard post, staffed by an ogre, two goblins and 2 worgs. 

The party decides to leave the trail and sneak past the guard post. 

As we leave off, the party has successfully sneaked under the guard post.  But they have aroused the suspicion of one of the worgs.

20 points of experience awarded.  For finding the temple trail.  For fighting the zombies, and the goblin patrol.  No experience awarded yet for the guard post.
