Heroes: Robyndella (archer/mage), Vanity (Cleric), Kymmera (witch/fighter), Low Dog (Totemic warrior), Artec (Archer) and Mamood (Undead Hunter)
The heroes Robyndella and Low Dog both receive a dream message from Cornelius that someone from Oerth is using the runes of Sidra to gain power on Charn. He needs heroes to save the children that are powering the runes and possibly destroy the person who caused it all and there is only a day to do it. If the party was to assault the castle, they needed to destroy the runes but it was recommended that they have a black rectangle ioun stone for protection. Robyndella tapped the Temple of Bahamut for the only two available people who can turn the undead, Vanity and her younger sister Kymmera. She was not happy that she had to bring her sister, but she needed the holy power she brought. Robyndella also asked her friends, Darya and Artec to join them with a local undead hunter Mamood. They all met Low Dog at Tovag Baragu, the ruined stonehenge to use the gate to Charn. Once they arrived, Low Dog's totem spirits became empowered enough to fight back the curse laid upon him on Charn which left him in a weakened state, but able to fight.
They appeared on a hill top that overlooked the valley with the castle to the east and the town to the southeast. The heroes moved south to start searching the building there first and work their way around the city and then to the castle if there was time. The first house they came upon was a dilapidated farmhouse. Three farmers started to approach the party, Low Dog realized they were not alive. Two were ghouls and one was a ghast. He also notices several shadows waiting in the house itself. While the party took care of the corporeal undead, Vanity waited for the shadows to appear and turned them at first opportunity. They fled into the darkness. After searching the house and finding 73 sp, a strange wicker holy symbol, and a greenish gold coin with medusa's head on it, they left after not finding a child. They were then attacked by the returning shadows which were quickly dispatched.
They moved on to the next cluster of buildings, a miller's house, and upon approach, Low Dog notices several ghouls in the house waiting for the party. One has a long wand looking object that Low Dog recognizes as a fire arm. He tells everyone to duck as the first round is discharged which misses Mamood. Everyone charges the building after Low Dog starts. Artec manages to kill the shooter with arrows and the party quickly picks off the rest of the undead. The party searches the house, finding 10 chunks of fine quartz and a clear spindle. They also find beds for 7 children that were recently used. While searching the house, a group of undead have come to investigate the sound from the firearm discharge. A group of ghouls charges the party, but are quickly destroyed. They are followed by four shadows who are also quickly destroyed. The party decides to move on after Low Dog destroys the fire arm.
The next building is a farm house. Darya sneaks to a window of the house after the party hears a child crying out inside. The rest of the party charges the front door. Darya finds a child tied to a bed alone. She jumps in and dim doors the kid and her out. She notices ghouls and shadows preparing to ambush the party and yells out to let them know. It was too late, but the party easily destroy the undead after some help from Vanity's turns. Kymmera has her familiar lick the blood of the boy which horrifies Darya. Darya pockets an Iridescent spindle found on the child and "forgets" to tell the party about it. Once the building is secure and searched, finding silver and gold pieces, they move on with one child found.
The next building looks like a trader's house. One thing is different about it though, there is a cloaked skeleton with a scythe guarding the front door. Between Mamood and Vanity, they determine it is a Lesser Death. Not wanting to take any chances, Darya shoots a meteoric missile at it, destroying it utterly. The party then ventures inside. The scene before them is startling. A nude prepubescent girl is floating in the air with three stones rotating around her. After an initial charge by Low Dog, Vanity turns the undead to help control the situation. Once all of the undead have been pushed to the corners, Vanity then pulls the girl down into her arms and out to Darya, being called a Tiefling for her trouble. The party then methodically destroys the undead and search the house. The three stones are a Deep Red Sphere, Orange Cube, and an Oblong pearl. They also find some magic dust and a magic potion which turns out to be poison when Vanity sips it. Realizing her mistake, she drinks some sweet water and is fine. A large runestone is also below where the girl was floating. Darya makes a rubbing of it. The party has now found two kids of the seven and divided up the ioun stones amongst the party.
