One Week

The Strangers With Weapons go on a much needed week-long vacation after defeating Ras Nsi. However, trouble is never far behind them.

## Major Plot Points

* One week later, SWW spend a week in the Faerun city of Baldur’s Gate to celebrate the end of the Death Curse.
* While at a seedy bar, the Acquaintances with Weapons were approached by two noblemen named Abercrombie and Fitch. They reported that grave robbers were pillaging tombs in Crow’s Hollow cemetery. They were afraid that their family’s crypts would be hit next and asked AWW to investigate. The two brothers said they were a family of means and would pay for the AWW’s services. Unfamiliar with this Common colloquialism, Calypso said she never heard of the Means Family and asked if there was a Mrs. Means.
* AWW went to the cemetery to investigate and saw many crypts were destroyed. However, they were broken out of rather than into.
* Several cats prowled the cemetery. Vlad used his Tiger Mask to converse with one, but he wasn’t very helpful.
* The group then fought off a hoard of zombies and went to investigate the brothers’ family crypts.
* At the tomb, Voloth used his limited reading ability to decipher a story about the Stone of Jergal and its power to raise the dead. Calypso found an old letter that warned about the Three Roses, three evil mages who tried to use the stone.
* The heroes were then approached by a shovel wielding skeleton named Rashida Bones. She spent 35 years as the maintenance worker of the grounds and was saddened to see its current state. She also had no idea how she was reanimated but warned that zombies were wandering about. She brought them to three crypts that each had a rose carving.
* They were locked and had enchanted doors that needed to be opened by certain elemental magic. Calypso used her shocking grasp cantrip to open the first one.
* The door locked behind them once inside. The far wall had carvings that showed heaven, earth, and hell. Three different carved faces could be placed in each section. Voloth - trying to prove he can read - found a book of religious symbolism and placed the faces in the right order, which opened the door.
* Vlad used his fiery smite to open the next tomb. Upon entering, the party was quickly attacked by four elementals (earth, wind, water, and fire). The battle proved very dangerous for Dani and Calypso as they got very injured.
* Calypso used Ray of Frost to open the final crypt. Upon entering the crypt, the door locked and the party couldn’t see one another. Only using their voices, they worked together to solve the rune puzzle, however, many players were shot by poisoned darts.
* The party was ambushed by the cemetery cats. Their leader, Ms Whiskers, accused them of trying to summon the demon Beezlebuddy. The spirits of the Three Roses (Rosie the Riveter, Rose Nylund, and Rose Dawson) appeared and explained that they’d been cut off from the material plane for awhile. AWW explained the Death Curse and how they stopped it. The cats and the Roses showed that AWW had been duped and were helping Abercrombie and Fitch complete a ritual to summon Beezlebuddy through the magical stone.
* AWW confronted Abercrombie and Fitch who now wielded the stone and had undead soldiers protecting them. After an epic battle, AWW successfully knocked out one of the noble brothers, which caused the other one to teleport them away, vowing revenge. The party finished off the undead soldiers and successfully stopped Beezlebuddy from ascending into the material plane. Rashida Bones gifted them with her magical Graver Digger shovel.
