//Note: This adventure comes from "Gluttony", by J. Bradley Schell, as
published in [[http://paizo.com/dungeon/products/issues/2003/98|"Dungeon
Magazine" #98]], May, 2003, pages 14-19, and the "mini-adventure"
[[http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/oa/20040731a|"Bad Light"]],
by Owen K. C. Stephens.//

**//28 June 1111//**

Travel to [[Mane]].  While staying at the Inn, [[Líkami]] overhears a farmer
talking about a dead pig who "got up and tried to attack" him.  The party
decides to investigate the following morning -- as it is generally seen
as unwise to confront undead at night.

**//29 June 1111//**

Meet a farmer named Dervin who has organized a 250 gp reward for whomever
kills the "Vampires" that have been killing farmers for the past two weeks.

The party discovers (and defeat) a pair of Rasts, apparently summoned (or at
least allied with) an evil Dwarven Cleric to Hel.

After collecting their reward, the party is invited to feast with the farmers.

**//30 June 1111//**

Travel to [[Feather]].  Baron Johann invites the party to spend the night at his
keep -- where he reveals that he has hired a scholar to help him decipher the
books the party [[v2session03|recovered near the village]] of [[Thistle]].

Most of the books were worthless, but one book turned out to have a wealth 
of information.  This is what he has learned for sure:
  * They are written in the Yuan-Ti script.
  * The Yuan-Ti are a race of "snakemen" who come from the tropics.
  * The book documents decades of activities (many nefarious) of the "House of Circlet".
  * The people and places are referred to with code words, so it is not a "smoking wand".
  * He believes his family has been wooed (and possibly recruited) since at least the time of his grandfather.

These points are mostly supposition:
  * The House of Circlet is allied with the Yuan-Ti.
  * There is an organization called "The Vanguard of Sertrous" - which is either the same as or allied with the House.
  * The Lizard Men from [[Mosamor Marsh]] are allies with the House.
  * There are references to both [["Mosargrax"]] and "The Black" - which refer to the Black Dragon who has ruled [[Mosamor Marsh]] for centuries.  It is unclear whether it is an ally.

**//1 July 1111//**

The baron is heading to [[Rainbow Point]] to oversee some sort of dispute
between merchants, so the party joins his small caravan.  The baron, in
no hurry to face the merchants, spends the night in [[Stillsquall]].

**//2 July 1111//**

The baron leaves town, while the rest of the party returns to their "normal" lives.

That night, however, the baron returns and says he needs the party's help.  "Someone
or something has taken over the Pearl Tower!"

**//3 July 1111//**

The party heads out to investigate the "Pearl Tower" and finds a group of Goblins
guarding the top entrance.  After dispatching them, they descend into the tower,
where they find a Barghest and a Green Hag.  The group had apparently taken over
the tower, doused its signal fire, and then set a new signal fire farther down the
coast.  Their intent (which seems to have been successful) was to misguide ships
into the dangerous reef near the tower.  Once the ships ran aground, their crew
were killed and their cargo stripped.
