Monday, January 1st, 1153

The party stared outside of the small town of New Sorpigal with their six letters in hand. They walked around the town wondering where to go, and decided to enter the inn first. They saw a shady character who they thought was Andover Potbello. Haku approach him and gave the password "Sandman" and handed him the letter. He gave the party a bag of money and ask them if they could retrieve a candelabra that was lost in their abandoned temple to the northwest. He would give them another bag if they were successful. The party got a room and thought about it and decided to do it and figure out a way to mess up the evil item before it got back to Andover. They agreed.

They used their money to purchase some weapons, armor, and needed skills for adventuring. They also purchased memberships to the Blade's End, Buccaneer's Lair, Guild of the Elements, and Guild of the Self. Talking to various people around town and the town hall, they agreed to kill the Queen of Spiders lairing in the abandoned temple, and retrieve the combination of the vault door in Goblinwatch.

The party decided to attempt to attack the fort, Goblinwatch, and ran into trouble on the way there. Three orcs attacked and with some trouble they defeated them. They took their spoils, including a light warhorse, and sold their wares for more cash. They finally spent the night ready to face the next day.
