With Silverbirch exhausted, the party returned to the Sleeping Lion tavern where they met up with another member of the society, “Chitt” the Mind Thief (a ratling type character played by Mark). Silverbirch retired to her room for a rest and Brutus, Valariss and Chitt headed back out to the Barrow Lair. Brutus stopped to make a donation to the Temple for a blessing, which in hindsight seemed to serve him well. Before leaving town another ratling (coincidentally) offered to sell the group a special item it found in the sewers for only 10 gold. It looked special enough, so Valariss gave the grimy rat 10 gp only to find it was a piece of garbage. This should’ve been an omen for the trip ahead.

On the road back to the Barrow, the party encountered heavy rains and came across two carts stuck in the mud from what looked like a travelling “magic circus”. The group opted to help a Fortune Teller move her cart from the mud, gained some experience for their efforts but were cursed in the process. The old witch said the party was headed for doom, again another warning sign that should’ve been taken more seriously.

The threesome faced quite a gauntlet and maintained their health throughout, but were not able to retrieve the stolen items and all ended up exhausted just short of their goal. The group was heavily cursed through the ordeal (the lower level of the Barrow is full of bad mojo), and fumbled their way through too many failed attacks (mostly Valariss). Brutus took the lion-share of loot, some solid XP was earned and the party will now lick its wounds before attempting another run to obtain Jeksarah’s goods.
