Late Afternoon
Raining, cold, and windy
Muddy Lizardfolk cave, south along the western edge of Diamond Lake
Introduction
The young Heroes were awakened by Jasper and summoned to a meeting with the more experienced members of The Three Hills Adventuring Company, including Morgan Hizari the Leader. After a short performance by Suzanna, the young Heroes were welcomed by Morgan. Who explained the Rules of the Adventuring Company, and gave each new member a chance to introduce themselves to the others and to the senior members. Moragn then took each of the members around the Three Hills compound. Dolgun managed to take advantage of the free drinks policy and imbibed a legendary amount of Dwarven Ale, Wine, and regular Human Ale until he passed out. After the tour, Moragan answered as many questions as he could before retiring to his quarters with Suzanna.
Disturbing Event
A short while later as the sky opened up with a heavy rain, Calashite women could be heard screaming heading right for the compound. To the surprise of Het and Nora, it was their mothers and they were screaming that distinct Calashite women scream. Het's two brother's Gholam and Reza were playing by the lake with their friend Saleem. It was not clear at first but from what the Heroes could tell, they were abducted by monsters. Het and Nora headed over to the Calashite compounds and after Nora forgot here place as a Calashite women and was forced to retreat, Het was able to conduct an interview of Saleem. Saleem then agreed to lead Het to where the boys were taken by "walking crocodiles".
Crime Scene
The Heroes then moved out toward the place where the boys were taken accompanied by Saleem and the three noisy and screaming women, Parvin (Het's Mom), Suzanne (Nora's Mom, no relations to Suzanna), and Maryam (little Saleem's Mom). On the way the troop was attacked by a rogue large crocodile looking for an easy meal. The crocodile darted up out of the lake and attacked Carenthal biting him solidly by the torso and thrashing him about. It was a very dire situation as Carenthal went limp after a blood gurgling noise that sounded like a mixture of bubbling blood and crunching bone and flesh. Luckily the Heroes swarmed the beast, slayed it, and pried Carenthal out of its powerful jaws. Trogdor and was able to heal Carenthal enough to bring him from the edge of death's door.
At the location, the Heroes found evidence that confirmed that the children where taken by Lizardmen. They then set out to follow the tracks made by many Lizardmen along the banks of the Lake south. After a short while they found a mud cave dug into the side of the lake embankment.
Battle Was On
The Heroes jumped into the mud cave, waded in, and then held their breath and pushed below the water line to find a cave filled with Lizardmen who attacked immediately. After Defeating 6 Lizardmen, the Heroes have held up for a breather ready to push on to rescue the two boys. The three women should be OK standing there exposed in the rain next to the crocodile invested Lake...Or will they?
