Keep him alive! ... Nevermind

As the battle with Vincent Harpell continued, he strode out of the area of silence and began ranting about how the Lady of Mysteries (Mystra) had chosen him as her champion in stopping the world's spellcasters from using magic. "Magic is a tool that allows many to die too easily. How often do old magics cause the death or disfigurement of those around them? Mystra has grown tired of being used this way. It must be stopped!" Vincent spoke of a servant of Mystra who helped guide him, a being named Levistus who passed Mystra's holy word to his ear.

Robhim, having recently attended a talk by Yondbe on the Nine Hells, recalled the name Levistus as the ruler of Stygia, the fifth layer of hell. Presented with this information Vincent continued to fight, calling Robhim and the heroes liars.

After falling Vincent, everyone looked at each other asking, "Should we have taken him alive?"

Leaving the Dark Wood

As you follow your own tracks back through the Dark Wood, you find that the trail is getting harder and harder to follow. It's as if the forest itself was obscuring your tracks from earlier. Hours pass as you make your way through the wood and soon you discover that you only a few hours from nightfall.

In the darkness, you hear a raspy voice call out, "You have gone the wrong direction..."

A single kobold strides forward out of the shadows of the Dark Wood, addressing the party sternly, "You are not permitted to go beyond the fiendish oak tree. This is your ONLY warning. The penalty for trespass is death."

Thus prompted, the party agreed to travel through the night to get to the Meadmaker Mines. The kobolds could be seen slipping through the trees, as well as the great panther Netsuo.

Meadmaker Road

In the early dawn of morning the party runs into Blue, who has come looking for them. He was concerned that something had happened to Robhim and the rest.

Scarletstone

As the party approached Scarletstone, there is a large stone statue of a warrior clad in banded mail with a bastard sword and it seems that the statue has seen rough times. It speaks to them and says "Greetings and welcome to Scarletstone, home of the Harpell family and my master Victor Harpell. Only Harpells and those with them may enter."

The party knocks on the door until finally a little girl by the name of Twinkle Harpell answers the door. She goes and gets Anonymous Harpell, who tells the party to pretend to be Harpells and the statue will let them in.

The inside of Scarletstone is a flurry of activity, with many different casters of all varieties walking and flying down the hallways. In the back corner you can see that Peek-A-Boo has been placed in charge of caring for the families many familars as she is covered with cats, rats, and toads. She informs the party that most of the family is in the chapel, where Nyles is preparing mass.

After telling Nyles that Vincent was the leader of the Purists in the city and that he killed Smokin' Joe, Nyles agrees to cast Speak with Dead so that Vincent can be questioned. Nyles casts Raise Dead and brings Smokin' Joe back to life and he is "mighty grateflu to y'all!".
