The party finally makes it to Phandalin. Sildar leads the group to the Stonehill Inn, where they set about procuring lodgings. Sildar pays the party the 50 gold pieces and sets off in search of his friend, Iarno Glasstaff.
The group then drops off the supplies to Barthen's Provisions, where they get paid and briefly chat with Barthen.
Yeemik the Goblin is causing a bit of a stir, so they head to the Townmaster's Hall next, where they encounter Harbin Wester and his group of Dwarven Mercenaries. Harbin offers them the use of the jail in the basement, and after a few tense moments with the Dwarves CoralKing decides to stay with Yeemik to ensure no shenanigans.
Harbin offers a bounty of 100gp if the party will clear out the Orcs harassing travelers on the Triboar Trail to the East. The group considers it. Geral asks where a healer might be found and Harbin replies that someone occasionally tends the Shrine of Luck.
No one is at the Shrine of Luck, so Tasbros and Tysnera decide to do their meditations there while the rest of the party rests at the Stonehill Inn.
Tysnera and Tasbros encounter the returning Sister Garaele, injured and the worse for wear. Sister Garaele is looking for Bojangle's Spellbook, and the last entity that might know it's location is Agatha the Banshee, who haunts the ruins of Conyberry. She offers three potions of healing plus her services upon their return, and says that if Agatha is approached correctly, she may be amenable to answering questions. Sister Garaele offers a silver comb as a gift for Agatha.
After conferring and restocking provisions, the group sets off on the Triboar Trail, intending to speak to Agatha and clear out the Orcs.
Making camp, they are beset by a pack of 8 vicious Allosaurs!
The Allosaurs blitz the party, jumping and shredding with claws and teeth. The party spellcasters scramble up trees for cover, and Orky, Geral, and CoralKing hold the center. Actias and Wulrif cast potent curses and Eldritch Blasts, Calmul breathes poison and provides critical blessings to Orky, and Geral makes a couple of key saves with his shield as well as inspiring Orky to heroic feats with her now-flaming Great Sword. Steve and Benjamin shoot arrows and Viker saves the life of the unfortunate Tysnera who has been taken into the jaws of an Allosaur after she and Tasbros expended all of their potent combat spells.
Triumphant after an epic battle, the party heals up and considers their next action.
