Episode 4

== Episode 4: "My name is Tauro!" ==
This is the fourth episode of the "Heroes of Legend" campaign. The party, consisting then of Barkley, Rashi, Olivia, Kakara, and Stella, entered the nightwarden camp stationed in the Sleepless Mire. They saw the drow and their tracking spiders, as well as two dragon wyrmlings that Shad'ro had purchased and strung up for his troops as food. When the party asked the one wyrmling that was still alive what his name was, he answered that "[His] name is Tauro!" which is a reference to a character from another setting that the players all knew and was QUITE A SHOCK. The party was upset at the idea of the dragon babies being eaten, and so offered to do a mission for Shad'ro in exchange for what was to him basically the still-alive Thanksgiving turkey he'd acquired. He told them to bring back information about the missing criminal, Andrith Shadowbane and the party agreed. While in the nightwarden camp, the party also met Shad'ro's navigator girlfriend, and Barkley tried to ride Shad'ro's tracking spider to no avail. 
The party then left the nightwarden camp and located "The Rats" - a group of wererat children struggling for survival out in the marsh. The party gave the kids most of their rations and made friends with them. The rats current leader (name??) told the party that their former leader was still in the sewers of the quarantine district in Grindwall. The rats asked the party to please, if they ever went to Grindwall, to tell their former leader, Penny Tibbs, where they were now located. The party agreed, although when they went to Grindwall next they didn't actually get the opportunity to go into the quarantine sewers. The children also had accidentally converted the missing blacksmith from Banar's Landing into a frothing werebeast and were holding him in a cage. The party didn't really know what to do about that so they just let the kids continue handling that situation. 
The rats gave the party directions about where they might find what Andrith was looking for. It was apparently a strange structure out in the middle of the marsh. The rat leader (again, name??) took the party there to see a huge statue of a winged serpent with a door at the base. The door at the base had a riddle in celestial preventing entry. I don't remember all the details but the gist was basically "I have rivers without water/ Forests without trees,/ Mountains without rocks/ Towns without houses." and the answer was a map. Once Kakara solved the riddle, the party was able to open the door, ending the episode.
