One fine late spring evening, three recent arrivees to Greyhawk from Medegia, Sarkon the psi, Polynikes the fighter, and Aeona the Vestal Virgin wander through the Foreign Quarter. Tailing them is the leopard naamar (cat-man) namd Bjorkmar. It just so happens that Algn, emeritus scholar of the Mages' Guild is wandering the same section of the city, as is the beautiful Koryo woman, Mi Ho, as well as a the nine year old, Rose, her twin sister, Lily, and their sitter, the 18 year old Tamra. At least another half dozen townsfolk are also on the street when a half dozen skeletons emerge from a townhome, attempting to grab any passersby that they can. One such target is Mi Ho, who runs toward the three Medegians for help. For his part, Algn, an experienced student of magic, unleashes a magic missile into the undead, destroying it. Rose springs to the attack, slamming her foot in the face of another skeleton.
Several townsfolk are grabbed and more skeletons emerge from the building. Aeona invoked her goddess Hestia and drives most of the skeletons away. Still a few more undead emerge, as do huge spiders. The heroes assemble to battle the spiders and undead. In the process, Algn uses both his spells and Sarkon is badly wounded, with both men retreating back to find the city watch. Polynikes, on the other hand, proves to be QUITE capable of slaughtering spiders, racking up a body count of three -- half the arachnids present. Tamra joins Rose after Lily runs to "get Dad" with both girls using the martial training to destroy several undead. Bjorkmar doesn't fair too badly, but like Aeona and Polynikes, is bit by a spider.
Two townsfolk are carried into a building, despite Aeona's impressive powers at turning undead. Polynikes goes after the two victims, only to spy a dark elven woman bending over the poisoned body of one man. The Medegian warrior attacks, but the drow's undead minions defend her while she manages to casts a hold person spell on the hapless adventurer. Luckily, Mi Ho, Aeona, Rose, and Tamra follow the Medegian into the building and while the rest engage the skeletons, Rose slips past and attacks the drow. In the ensuing melee, Bjorkmar bars the door and the dark elf ultimately falls. Her skeletal undead minions, however, return, still following their last orders and the party is forced to battle them all. Finally, the group tends to their wounded and while doing so, Aeona searches the dark elf's body and finds a strange talisman around her neck...
