Session 5: The Redbrand Reckoning
Scheduled: July 11th @ Taylor & Matt’s apartment
Session recap — to be filled in after the session.
Where We Left Off
The party is in the Stonehill Inn at the end of Session 4. The town has just sworn them in as official protectorate of Phandalin under a Lords’ Alliance writ. Four Redbrands are dead at the Shrine of Luck. The rest of the gang knows it.
The party has scouted both targets:
- Sleeping Giant — 8 Redbrands + 1 bartender; two exits (front door + kitchen door); five hungover ruffians downstairs, three upstairs.
- The secret tunnel behind Tresendar Manor — 2 Redbrand guards posted at the brambled entrance Carp discovered.
A decision is on the table: which target first?
