Party note: Return to collect scales from the snake's lair. 
===12th July, Year 1===
The people in Hearthome are thrilled the zombies are gone. They ask who the major is, the guards bow to Izual. They tell the guards none rules over them, introducing anarchy to the town. 2 of the guards pronounce themselves the ruler, Izual prays to Astair, the second one surprisingly sticks. Abaddon introduces Malkis as the divine of the town.
Izual suggests they try to find the necromancer's lair. They find some clues, Abaddon tries to pick up a scent, but the smell of undead overrides him. The party rests in Hearthome before heading out to the fields. Abaddon orders a silver Malkis holy symbol.
Rae Kwon spreads overexaggerated rumors of the fight against the necromancer, and influences the general opinion of people to accept Abaddons condition. The people are satisfied with the new song.
Izual prays to Martha for healing spells and for Abaddon. Martha shows compassion and tells Izual to do it too. They heal the party and the horse too.
It's the day before the full moon, Abaddon goes to the woods. He feels the pull of the moon, but resists it and returns to the city. The night of the full moon, he has returned to the city, feels a stronger urge to transform, but resists it.
===17th July===
Nyx asks how Kael is doing, he seems unconcerned with his near-death experience. Nyx asks about the crystal she gave him, and he returns it. Nyx expresses her concern for Abaddon.
In wolf form, Abaddon follows the scent of the undead throughout the woods. Izual's horse seems fine with Abaddon, when at a distance.
They set up the camp. Abaddon feels the pull again but resists it, managing control over the wolf.
===18th July===
They see a long shimmering trail in the plains. Abaddon turns back into a human. They walk towards it and see it's a gigantic snake with metallic skin. It is slithering towards Hearthome. They move out of the way to observe it. The party discusses while Nyx murders the little lamb named Mary and does an omen read. Nyx learns snake is a foe.
Rae Kwon plays a song and tries to charm the snake. The snake isn't happy with the song and heads towards them. Abaddon casts , and . Kael casts , Nyx casts and creates a cloud of ice over the snake, slowing it. Izual charges the snake, the snake crushes their horse. They conjure the . Rae Kwon casts on the snake's teeth and breaks it, and Nyx shoots a dagger into its mouth. The snake coils Abaddon and he turns into a wolf to escape its grasp and bites its tail. Izual kills the snake.
Nyx picks up the snake's tooth. They follow the snake's trail to gather its scales. They find the cave, they find snakeskin and a nest with 3 large snake's eggs. They give eggs to John. Rae Kwon argues they shouldn't take them, but it falls on deaf ears. Kael finds Uluth'gak's Gythka, a +2 polearm with blades on the side. 
The party continues following the necromancer's trail. 
===19th July===
They come across a bridge covered with bones. Abaddon tries to identify the bones, with no success. Nyx reluctantly puts on shoes in order to cross the bridge.
A part of the forest is dense and covered in plants, everything is easy and quiet, the scent of the undead is fading. Rae Kwon tries to play the flute and it sounds muted. An hour into the woods, a voice calls out to them. It's an elf, Shabbernigdo, who says these are his woods and asks why they are here.
They learn elf drove the necromancer from these lands, who came from the Northeast, beyond the river. Rae Kwon introduces the party, the elf draws an arrow, Rae Kwon tries to defuse the situation, but the elf runs away. Nyx talks to the elf and he tells them where they will find the necromancer's lair, on the border with the ogres. Due to the confusion with directions, Abaddon continues the follow the scent.
During the search, he smells a stronger scent, of tobacco and spirits. He follows the stronger scent and sees it comes from a 2 feet tall door. Kael knocks. A little fellow appears from the door, Kael asks to trade, he steps out of the house and grows 7 feet. Rae Kwon gets some water, Kael casts to turn it into moonshine and trades it with the fellow, who shrinks to his original size.
Abaddon tells Izual the Leprechaun reeks of death, and Izual investigates the house and tries to disbelieve the illusion, but the house remains the same. While the Leprechaun is rummaging through Kael's bag, Rae Kwon reduces himself and wiggles into the Leprechauns house, trying to get to the Leprechauns wife. Leprechaun tugs him out of the house, gives Kael a pipe and tobacco, and bids farewell.
Abaddon whispers to Izual this is probably wrong and they get back on track. Nyx realises her daggers are gone. She casts and sees most of the trees radiate magic. They head back to the Leprechaun door, knock on it and the Leprechaun tells them to fuck off. Abaddon casts on the door. Nyx asks for her daggers back. Leprechaun plays dumb and Nyx goes to grabs him, but he closes the door. Kael tries to talk Leprechaun into opening the door, Abaddon breaks the window and throws a fireball inside. Kael props Nyx up and she casts on the lady Leprechaun, and she runs out of the front door. Kael casts and pours a bit of water, she runs towards him and he picks her up. Leprechaun appears on a three above and a saber cat appears, and Abaddon casts on it. Kael and Leprechaun negotiate, Leprechaun brings back the daggers, Nyx picks them up. Abaddon casts on the Leprechaun. Kael leaves the Leprechauns wife while Abaddon growls at the Leprechaun's face.
They follow the path until they reach the river. John asks to go back and feed the sheep. They spend the night.
