Kill the Carrier
Session Date: October 9, 2009
"Rugby football is a game I can't claim absolutely to understand in all its niceties, if you know what I mean. I can follow the broad, general principles, of course. I mean to say, I know that the main scheme is to work the ball down the field somehow and deposit it over the line at the other end and that, in order to squalch this programme, each side is allowed to put in a certain amount of assault and battery and do things to its fellow man which, if done elsewhere, would result in 14 days without the option, coupled with some strong remarks from the Bench." - P. G. Wodehouse (1930)

Crash and the dwarves decide that they want to deal with the smoke. They decide that the first course of action is to find Al. The dwarves deploy a dwarven retreval team to find and apprehend him.
Safiria, Lucius, Varien and the Shadar Kai also decide that they want Al. They quickly deploy several agents to track him down.
The dwarves surround the bar where Al did alot of business loot through it rudely and move on. The shadarkai agent that sorts through the wreckage twenty minutes later takes the barman into "protective custody".

There are some issues when the party initially goes to mount up in the morning. A large man name Mongo blocks the road while knocking his horse out.
The party attacks the caravan on the road. They ambush the caravan by dropping a pair of trees on the lead cart, killing one of the horses. At this point the carts start disgorging automated troops similar to the ones they foundn in the Shadowhold. One of the human teamsters manipulates something on his chest and fills himself with black smoke. One of the other teamsters also attempts to work a similar device but the party chops him down viciously. During the fight the lead cart is also lit on fire.
Party manages to take one teamster alive. There is a hurried discussion and the party decides to clear the road and move the wagons to a suitable clearing so they can rest overnight.
Safiria extracts epi-pen of evil.
The party pulls the carts off the road so as to appear that none of the carts are damaged.
