2 hour adventure. Ethereal DM Quest. Awarded Bracers of Archery to Mr. Slater.

Used 2 potions of healing (now have 9), 1 potion of necrotic resistance, and 6 menga leaves (now have 153). Max HP drained by another 9 (total of 30). Triceratops died, bought an elephant to replace it (I'm not made of downtime).

Downtime activity: Giant Toenails. If the characters scavenged toe nails from Bad Fruul, SEER brews a potion of hill giant strength. A few ingredients are needed and require the adventures to spend 10 downtime days (and associated living expense costs).
Story award: Savior of Parnast. You are always welcome in Parnast, while in town you will not spend any gold on food or lodging (lifestyle must still be paid for any downtime days spent).
Story award: Giant Horde Breaker! The tale of your defense of Parnast has spread far and wide. Charisma checks made when dealing with goodly folk who have had trouble with giants in the past are made with advantage. Similarly, any Charisma (Deception, Intimidation, or Persuasion) check you make against a non-good-aligned giant is made with disadvantage.

Defenders of Parnast story award. When the DM asked who wanted the Ring of Jumping, all Thog heard was crickets, so he took it.

3 hours (finishing off that previous odd number), APL 1. Players completed most of the first part!

Fought some undead. Got the story award: Enmity of the Welcomers. You slew one or more members of the Welcomers for little more than petty theft. So long as you have this enmity, all future Charisma (Deception, Intimidation, or Persuasion) checks made against members of the Welcomers faithful are made with disadvantage.

Used 1 oz menga leaves (now have 159), 1 zabou (now have 29), 1 antitoxin (now have 4).

Found a Potion of Healing.
