Session IV
Looking at the pile of goblin corpses they had recently summoned (material component - live goblin), they strip them of gear and bring them a short jump to where they met the pack led by a werewolf as an offering of meat. Over dinner, they find out the werewolf's hatred of the Huntsman, and offer to help slay it if afterward they can be told where the sahuagin cave might be. Morluck's diplomacy wins out, and they travel to where the Huntsman is (werewolf rolls great on Survival), and wipe the floor with it thanks to the wolf pack's aid. They accept the information and leave.
Returning to their trek through the wilderness, they come upon a three way argument between hobgoblins, sahuagin, and a few frazzled Bear soldiers that have been without a base for a week. Just as the three factions' opinions reach a heated moment, the players jump from their ambush and come to the aid of the Bears, wiping out goblinoid and shark men alike. They apply some basic healing to the one wounded Bear soldier, and move a short distance to meet up with rest of the remaining soldiers.
Morluck has a conversation, convincing them that they can get Ramshorn to accept them as refugees who will abandon their associations with the Order of the Bear and start over in the community. All the PCs ask for in return is to guard the entrance to the cave while they go in and clear it out. Moving up, they encounter a few more sahuagin, giving chase until they reach the cave.
To not let them have the time to alert the whole cave, they send Morluck under full stealth a full round for possible recon, to which he sees that two of the four sahuagin are moving farther into the cave & opens with a sneak attack while the rest of the party unloads into the rest of the group.
It's a fairly clean follow-through with the rest of the cavern system, only one person going down (stabilized) in the fight with the shoggoth. They take the tentacles, pack up, check on the mermaid they rescued, & return to Ramshorn to convince the townsfolk to let the surviving members of the Order of the Bear turn their swords to plowshares (a small bribe & good Persuasion check later...).
