Session 4

PCs: Garreth, Markus, Shadowfang

The party spends time at the temple, with Shadowfang mastering the ritual needed to seal the portal. Once prepared, he unleashes the spell, permanently closing the portal. 

Returning to Outskirt, they rest and sell their acquired loot. Markus crafts a brand new longsword for Garreth. With some of their funds, they purchase a cart and a donkey, anticipating their future expeditions.

Hearing rumors about the Tower of Sighs in the nearby marshes, the party plans their next venture. They decide to leave the cart behind in Outskirt, realizing its impracticality in the swamp.

En route to the tower, they halt at a local farm for the night and unexpectedly encounter a boar the following day, providing them with a hearty meal.

At the Tower of Sighs, they confront a group of bandits led by Ursic, a scarred woman, who claim the tower is guarded by a giant preventing access to its treasures.

Taking the initiative, the party negotiates with the giant, Glam-Glam, convincing him to allow them a glimpse of the treasure in exchange for a lavish feast of marsh fish.

Descending to the tower's lower level, they discover a chamber strewn with orc skeletons and an altar holding another piece of the sought-after statuette. Additionally, they recover an ancient war-banner significant to the orcs.

Leaving the lower level, they bid farewell to the giant, disappointing the gathered bandits who anticipated riches. On their journey back to Outskirt, the bandits ambush them, resulting in a fierce battle where the party emerges victorious, sparing only one bandit.

Returning to Outskirt, they sell the bandits' weapons and take respite to replenish their supplies.
