The Burning of the Brick and Mortar

'Ut'hyngar, you shall not leave this place alive!'
'Yes... Bodies will be cremated here.'
- Antler to Hallbjorn.
The Burning of the Brick and Mortar was a minor event in early Marpenoth -1775.
In Bræknge, now a ruined city, the Crew of the Wolf showed up, seeking a Ravensbone branch. They paid a local girl, Hunwalda, to guide them through the dangerous inner city, but she led them right to the Brick and Mortar tavern, an old, wisp-haunted inn inhabited by the Body Snatcher gang of thieves, led by the druid Antler. Petram took off running, a little frightened, but Richard Dread and Hallbjorn Ulfsson tied up Hunwalda out back, then snuck into the tavern again, seeing the hiding snatchers. With Breighde MacEoin, they set the tavern alight using a giant green-flame skull, and battled the ruffians. Their jagged knives and rusty dirks sapped the group's strength, and Antler was a formidable foe, with a spectral shade that mimicked her attacks, and a jagged bone-blade. Hallbjorn nearly fell, but they killed or gravely wounded all the snatchers, especially with Hallbjorn using the skull to incinerate a few. However, Antler fled and made it away, but not before slitting the throat and taking the tongue of the captive Hunwalda outside. 
It was, well, a little spooky.
