After recruiting more help at Habbib's Tavern (Hanur and Gildarin) the party set out for the alleged bandit lair, their one lead on finding this witch responsible for the tomb robberies.
Approaching at night, the party sent Ryaburn ahead to scout. The thief noticed a hidden watch sight and managed to alert the others. He also noticed what looked like an alarm. While Rayburn cut the rope leading to the alarm, the rest ganged up on the two watchmen. Due to Badger's spider web and a little luck, the guards were quickly dispatched and the party found the cave entrance to the lair. After a viscous crossbow trap (Rayburn's first near death experience of the evening) the party ran into some orc mooks (Rayburn's second near death experience of the evening). The clerics were working dual shifts keeping everyone alive and up to snuff. After getting rid of the orcs...death trap #2 - the killer cart...
messed up many of the party (Rayburn's third near death experience of the night) but was weakly followed up on by the ambushers (one ran for it, the other was entangled). For once the clerics kept disapproval at bay and healed everyone before chasing the trap setters into their lair...
...then it got real. The bandits had time to flip tables and throw caltrops, which meant that to close some damage was likely. Rayburn had a few more near death experiences, but still the clerics luck held. A lucky hypnosis of the bandit's wizard put a hurting on their chances and an all out assault by the killers in the party (Amar, Katilia, Hunar) broke the bandits defense. 
With lots of dead bandits and many new scars, the party paused for a break before pressing on.

After work and class the next day, the whole party met up at the Proffessor's townhome. They charried the train out into the courtyard that evening to give it a try. Proffessor Hartford activated the train and the group watched (holding umbrellas as it was raining) as it went round and round the figure eight. Nothing seemed to be happening, yet the party presisted even while discussing that perhaps this was a dead-end. With the 26th circuit  of the train however, everything chnged. ...

House of Dust and Ash Part I of the Season Finale: False Redemption Surviving their release of the Dei-Phage (demon lord), activation of the Pax Machiana, the ravaging of Kephistron Altis, melting of the Most Holy Gilded Cathedral of Baraspine, and the discovery that the “Pope” of the Callaxian Church is, in fact, a heretic…well, let’s say our Murder Hobos have a “mixed” reputation…(although Drustos seems to have made out well enough…) It has been a month since and the Acolytes are abruptly ordered off planet.  As the adventure begins the Player Characters are transferred temporarily into the service of a shadowy and notorious figure in the Holy Ordos, Inquisitor Lady Oriantha Rathbone, on the bleak and poisonous industrialized hive world of Solomon. There is a trip on the Lamentations of the Flame Princess which allows some new artificial limb work.

Anyway, as they got close to the new shopping area, they heard cries of pain and spotted a bearded man in black (Emerikol the Chaotic it turns out) riding down the street on a demon horse randomly killing passers by.  And calling on his winged gorhellas to kill witnesses. The patry generally ended up fighting gorhellas...except for Amar who got a good cut on the wizard before he escaped. After the fight Captain Rhal of the city watch came over to express his thanks and adk where the characters were staying...he ...
