Returning to Stonehell to continue their adventures in the halls of the great ancient prison. The party consists of Munder the fighter (now sporting a new bow), Makuur-Gak cleric of the Preposterous Grandfather, Snips the Gnome, Bash the fighter and their two hirelings arrived at the ancient gates to Stonehell around midday.
As they passed the gates, they saw their friend Coal the great bear being attacked by some bandits. The players engaged the bandits to help Coal. As they closed in on them they could hear the bandits yelling at Coal to get the arm he had in his mouth back. After rescuing Coal, defeating the bandits and healing Coal up, Snips learnt that a magic user had attempted to loot his caves up in the mountain and he was merely defending himself. He managed to steal the magic users arm and what he was carrying however, the bandits the magic user hired chased after him. So now my players have a one armed Magic User wandering around who is pissed he lost his arm and his high level scrolls!
