Warlock used his frog familiar to explore a mansion and used the frog to kill a commoner inside by dropping it from a height of 20 feet on him. Afterwards, he stole the owner of the mansionâs shoes and silverware.
The party left the town to go to another town.
At the next town, they were told that they could not come in until they had done something to help the town first. The party offered to retrieve something for them and left to do so.
On the way, the party stopped to loot a ruined tower. Outside was a brightly painted wagon. Since nobody could pick the lock, they decided to just break through the wall of the wagon.Â
A powerful trap triggered, destroying the wagon and dropping the party to 0 HP.Â
Wizard dies.
Warlock only survives because he casted false life earlier.
In the last session, Warlock had left his frog familiar hidden in the Burgomaster of Valakiâs manor so he could later look into some rumors he had been hearing in the tavern. Warlock waited until it was dark and then sent his frog out to explore the manor.
He ignored the first floor and made his way to the second floor. As he shoved himself under the doors of various rooms in search of the attic, he eventually found the bathroom and impulsively decided to (using his strength of 1) drag a towel out from under the door and into the hall. He left the towel there and wandered into the next room -- which happened to be the master bedroom.
Seeing the Burgomaster and his wife sleeping, Warlock sent his frog back to grab the towel. He dragged the towel down the hall and under the door to the master bedroom. He concidered trying to murder the burgomaster in his sleep but decided against it when realized frogs have no attacks and no strength. In the end he decided to drape the towel over their eyes with a high stealth check and snuck out the window. he climbed up the outside wall and went in through a window to the attic.
The frog made its way through the attic and to large door with a skull carved into it. He could hear someone muttering incantations so he decided to try and get whoever was inside to come out. He sat above the door and croaked as loud as possible. The person inside could hear him but decided to ignore it. Eventually the frog climbed down and knocked over a lantern. The clatter got the man inside to open the door and look around -- buying just enough time for the frog to slip into the room unnoticed.
The frog rolled and extremely high stealth check and managed to evade the man and the six skeletal cats wandering the room. He acquired ink and a bit of parchment and wrote a little note on it then climbed to the ceiling above the man. from this vantage point he dropped the note down to him.
As the man resumed the casting of his spell, a note drifted down from above him, startling him out of his concentration. He plucked the note out of the air and read it:
NOT ALONE
Confused and more than a little frightened, the man franticly searched the room before looking to the ceiling. At this point, a frog leaped from the shadows, fell 20 feet, and hit the man square in the face.
2d6 damage and three death saves later, the man lie dead in the attic and the frog - being a familiar - was vaporized on impact.
From outside, Warlock heard a thump from the attic of the house and took it as a success.
Warlock made his way into the house to search the room of the man he just had murdered. The operation went rather smoothly and even when he rolled rather low to go up the ladder to the attic, the towel over the Burgomasterâs face kept him from being caught for just long enough to get to the attic. Warlock looted the dead manâs corpse of his spellbook then returned downstairs to look for where the burgomaster kept his money. Unable to find the strongbox, Warlock settled for his  boots and silverware.
The party met back up at the tavern and agreed to leave tomorrow morning for Krezk.
Their travels to Krezk were more or less uninterrupted, though they did take note of a large ruined tower off to the side of the road.
Once they arrived at Krezk, they spoke to the guards who retrieved the Burgomaster. The Burgomaster of Krezk told the party that he could not let them in since he has no reason to trust them. After a heated argument, the party agreed to retrieve a missing shipment of wine so long as they took in the young woman under the partyâs protection.
The party left Krezk and decided to check out the tower they saw first.
Now at the foot of the tower, the party could see a large iron door and a brightly painted wagon parked outside. The whole party crowed around the wagon and tried to figure out how to get in. No one has thievesâ tools so they tell Paladin to break it open. Paladin headbutts the lock (nat 1) and falls unconscious for one round. Wizard breaks open a window and drops his familiar inside to look around. Monk - coming to the conclusion that the wall would be weaker than the door - decides to punch a way in through the wall. Glass shatters inside as he goes to town on the wagon. Instantly, the wagon is blown to pieces and emerald flames erupt from the wreckage. All members of the party are reduced to 0 HP and Wizard is killed outright. The rest of the party succeeds their death saves and go to explore the tower.
