Previously on adventure.

Henley, Thrace, and Julian, you must go to Neverwinter and solve the mystery of his death

and find the murderer to discover the location of the second magical item.

The dragon is going to, I guess for lack of a better term, self-destruct.

You guys are in luck because I've been following Riley for the past five days.

Riley is very weird behavior for a gnome. He spends most of his time at the library. I track him there every day. He spends hours there. And you guys head to the library. Enter, I am Liberian Shrug. How are you? The librarian shrug, we're looking for a bloke named Raleigh. He's a friend of ours and we knew what he was reading. way to get a little surprise on the buggy, you know what I mean? Looking at the Alchemy book, there is one section pretty heavily dog-eared. A homunculus is a construct that acts as an extension of its creator through a mystical bond. We've got to get to that Riley guy. And as you're about to walk, you hear the sound of laughing.

You see,

looking, staring up at you on the ground,

the head of Carl the Black Spider.

And I just take the head

and punt it across the town.

Across the town,

you think you're really that strong?

All right,

at least down the street. I'm gonna do a strength check to see how far you're really that strong? All right. At least down the street.

I'm going to do a strength check to see how far you're punching.

Okay, go ahead.

It's a 13 plus zero.

Okay.

So you punt it.

It bounces off a wall and rolls into the middle of the street,

probably about 30 feet away from you.
