When the party came back they were told someone who really stunk, broke into their room. She cleaned and freshened it up, but couldn't find anything missing. Budwar thought that maybe they stole his hairbrush.
Moonday Rova 17 Through Starday Rova 28
After a day of rest the group leaves for Magnimar to sell equipment and look to spend some of their money on new equipment. Shalelu comes along and sticks close to the druid. Ameiko comes along as well, saying she is looking to hire some new workers in Magnimar to replace the ones killed by her brother. They arrive in Magnimar late the next day. On Fireday the 20th the druid and Shelelu leave on the boat with some others that seem less than savory. The rest of the group go to the Golemworks to purchase and upgrade some magic items.
On Starday 21 Phain was visiting some seedy local establishments when he notices Orik, the man who left Thistletop. He followed him into a tavern and after observing him for awhile sits down with him. He discovers Orik has been drinking away his money from Thistletop. He was thinking of leaving Magnimar because of a string of murders that was happening in the city. Things were being kept quiet by the city guard as much as possible, but the word was getting out. Phain asked Orik to work for him and Orik accepted. Preacher found out similar information while checking out the boneyard in Magnimar.
On Moonday they decided to visit Justice Ironbriar, who the Sheriff had mentioned had helped him get a few men when the mayor refused. Ironbriar has heard about the group from Sheriff Hemlock and asked how he could help them. Ironbriar gives them some information about the victims, they were all merchants and they had a strange symbol scratched into their chest. After describing it, they ask him if it looked like Phain's amulet that he got off of Nualia. He confirmed that it was. They asked if they could help, but Ironbriar assured that they had it under control and agreed to enlist their aid if it they needed more help.
After a couple more days in town, Ameiko was ready to return to Sandpoint with her new workers. Arriving the following day back in Sandpoint, the group continued to relax.
Fireday Lamashan 4
The Sheriff takes them aside and tells them that some murders are beginning to happen again. There was also a note addresses to Budwar saying "We have spoken of this before, my master. Now it begins. Join the Pack and it will end." At the sawmill, there were two dead bodies, one female and one male, both had the Sihedron symbol carved on their chest. The male was the sawmill owner, the female unrecognizable. Preacher spoke with the dead to the sawmill owner, and discovered the last thing he remembered was smelling something awful. Remembering someone who stunk broke into their room, that searched and found humanoid tracks leading to the river.
Starday Lamashan 5
The Sheriff told them that a previous murder had happened and only the bodyguard of three merchants survived, though he was submitted to a sanatorium. The sheriff said they were as much con men as merchants and wasn't surprised to find them dead, but they had that symbol carved into their chests that seemed more than just revenge. He hands them a note found near the body that said
They checked out the location of the attack and didn't find too much evidence so they decided to head to the sanatorium. The doctor in charge seemed to want to experiment on his patients more than help them. Grayst, the bodyguard seemed to just keep muttering "too many teeth" and "The Skinsaw Man is coming". Preacher checked him out and discovered that Grayst had Ghoul Fever. Once Budwar got close enough, Grayst told him that the Skinsaw Man left Budwar a message and it was “He said you should come to the Misgivings soon, to meet the Pack, for they have something wonderful to show you.” After that Grayst became a should and broke out of his straight jacket and attacked. Phain downed him with no problem. They headed back into town and discovered that the druid had come back. He didn't go into any detail on what he did.
