New Adventure !!

Well, the troupe finished there tour of the hammerhold and headed back to Karahn Has, a bit richer for the experience. After arriving the Two Scars took some needed time to tend to themselves and refresh there gear with some hard earned coin. After seperating from the group and shortly after arriving back in town, Kharask took to some important duties, notably turning the head of Durzagon over to the dwarves. He also gave them a trophy of his victory over the deep dwarves and there host of devils. Kharask views the dwarves cautiously, he has heard of there greed, but also that they are more than likely an honorable folk, though he and his clan had little dealings with them. After setting things straight he gave yet another gift to alahn, the child ward in the care of there alchemist ally. (vadrier i think) The child was indesposed tending to his punishment for causing an accident in the alchemists lab. After setting his tasks down and finishing them the Dragonborn retreated to the comfort of the sprite, taking some time to replenish himself and get rested for the Two Scars next contract. Not long after he had settled in, he was approached by a likeable half elf who was eager to join the two scars, the half elf lead a band of his own, but wanted him and his troupe to officially join the company to give them some stability, it also sounded to Kharask that his troupe seemed to be good, but also seemed to be losing in focus. The half elf was sincere about wanting to know the charter and rules of the company, and Kharask agreed to meet with the half elves troupe once they returned from finishing a current adventure. Before he had heard word from the half elf, Kharask was approached by an Eladrin and his apprentice for some work. After going over the details, Kharask agreed to go north along a common trade route the Eladrin take, and scout it for bandits that had been hounding the Silver elves caravans. The Two Scars gathered there gear, and proceded to head north. Two days out the company encountered what Azriel later called a manticore, a strange lion beast with a human like head and a quilled tail. The creature had a thick hide, and was a hard opponent, but it was brought down mainly due to Erantaeliks magic, as he crafted snake like tendrils of electricity to wrap about the beast and bring it crashign to the ground. Once grounded the beast was easy to finish. After taking care of the manticore and getting there rest, the troupe headed further up the trade trail, once they finally reached the general area of there destination, they were attacked by ghouls dressed in commoners clothes. The creatures were difficult opponents, but able tactics and some quick thinking brought the combat to a needed close. After picking up there trail, azriel tracked there movements back to an ancient burial tomb of the sun god Phaethon. Once inside, the troupe encountered yet more ghouls, this time lead by a vile creature known as a Ghast. The battle was a difficult one, but again tactics and good training paid off, leaving the two scars victorious once again, but with a vast tomb to explore.

ok, the adventure ended there, and i'll pick up after the next session.
