I used 15ft distance.
Bargus cast burning hands on the two wights and they both saved. 9 dmg. The skeletons moved to melee WT1and did 38dmg but wait they didn't seem to do as much damage. 19dmg as the Wight resisted the normal shortswords. Dak moves to melee the Wights focusing on the injured one first. He hits with a solid attack 18dmg magical so that drops the first Wight. Dak's second attack hits as well and does 17 dmg to WT2. WT2 attacks SK1 and misses with the first attack but hits with the second for 8 dmg.

Bargus and the first 2 Skeletons finish the wight off since it had resistance to normal weapons.
The wights have 4pp and 10ep stashed in the watch tower. 700xp each.
The duo find clues and then head to town to go over stuff.
12 hrs to town and do a nice meal, with some elven wine this time for Bargus and Dak sticks to Ale and both do a bath and tip the bards.
The night goes on with the duo telling their tales of adventure to the bards who come up with a song to suit the two.
"The Battle of Dak and Bargus"
(Verse 1)
In the dark of the crypt, two shadows rise,
Dak the Orc, with fire in his eyes.
Bargus the Necromancer, staff in hand,
Together they fight, the strongest of the land.
(Chorus)
Wights arise, cold as the grave,
But Dak and Bargus stand strong, so brave.
Steel and spell, their fury bright,
They fight together through the night.
(Verse 2)
Dak's greatsword swung hard, it cleaved the bone,
While Bargus called forth the dead he'd known.
Lightning crackled, magic soared,
The wights fell down beneath their sword.
(Chorus)
Wights arise, cold as the grave,
But Dak and Bargus stand strong, so brave.
Steel and spell, their fury bright,
They fight together through the night.
(Bridge)
A roar from Dak, a spell from Bargus' might,
Together they turned the battle to light.
The wights lay shattered, the fight was done,
The champions victorious, they had won.
(Final Chorus)
Wights arise, cold as the grave,
But Dak and Bargus, forever brave.
With steel and spell, they claim their right,
Victors standing in the fading night.
(Outro)
Now legends speak of that crypt so deep,
Where Dak and Bargus made the wights sleep.

Kane scribes 2x scrolls of magic missile, 1x scroll of false life, 1x scroll of mage armor (100 gp)
Tesco scribes 2x scrolls of hunter's mark (50 gp) and purchases a Magic Shield +1 (310 gp)
Zim goes to Evelyn's Magic Shop to buy a Magic Morningstar +1 (315 gp). He brings it to The Grove where he meets with Kane and Tesco. "Well met, my friends."
Kane says, "Zim, you seem to be doing well on your quests as of late." Tesco chimes in, "This haven has been good for the lot of us. Where else can you find friendly people with endless wealth and the best of intentions. But there are rumors of a villain who may be behind the undead menace of the Silverwood." Zim spits out his ale, "You know of such a heel and we have not taken him out." Tesco continues, "It's not such a simple task. Aye there was rumor of an exiled wizard who passed through this town, many months ago but nothing tying him to the Silverwood undead, directly." Zim answers, "Then we should be the ones to find the evidence needed to bring him to justice for his crimes." Kane echoes, "It is safe to say that there are none more equipped to handle this threat as us." Tesco leads the group saying, "If there is a necromancer losing track of his pets, then we shall track him down and stop his machinations."
Encounter 1 (Ghouls)
The air grows thick with the stench of rot as you step deeper into the glade. The soil feels soft beneath your feet, as if recently disturbed. Suddenly, you hear a rustling, and before you can react, twisted, hungry figures lurch forward from behind the trees, their claws extended, and eyes glowing with an unnatural hunger.

(total 800 XP) 266 XP each
((Took a while for me to figure out who I wanted to add to the campaign, and I've gone for a distant relation of Varnak's in the form an Elf Monk woman.))
Cor takes his leave of the other two adventurers and continues on his mission until he finds a small train of three carts pulled by mules, led by a man in splint armor who dismounts from a horse to ride out and meet Cor before he can close to the caravan.
"Ho! Who are you to approach us in this place," calls out the Veteran.
Cor introduces himself while the man is at 60 feet distance. Behind him he can see that the mule driver's eyes are down towards the ground, and that the mules are thin. "I have been sent here to help with the escort through dangerous lands to reach Evergreen Hollow. Some trains have vanished in this place before now.
"We have no need of more mouths and our coin is not for you. Be gone."
Cor struggles for a moment to parse the response, so unexpected is it, and all the while the Veteran closes in. From above, a melodious voice speaks in his native Elvish.
"This mercenary is a blackguard, a bandit who drove me from the caravan when he usurped command and led them from the trail into the dangerous place. I think he means to force the train into some gang's lair, and I have trailed him since he thought he saw me fled."
The Veteran spins to see a dark haired Elf woman in a simple tunic, with a flute hanging from her belt and no other weapon in sight. "You," he growls.
"Attack," says the woman in Elvish.
Initiatives:
Sphinx -- 23; Cor -- 17; Theirastra -- 17; Veteran -- 3
The best strategies are tried and true. The Sphinx of Wonder flies in and rakes its claws at the Veteran's eyes in a feint. All the while, Cor is wielding his new ring in familiar magics, speaking to the elemental essence that he feels inside drawing it out and into a Witch Bolt. With a boom of thunder that causes the mules 200 feet ahead to buck and bray, a tangled snarl of crackling lightning wraps around the blackguard and chars him (Veteran HP 27/58).
With feet light even for an elf, the unarmed woman dashes in to meet the Veteran. Between crackles of electricity she times a blow to ring his helmet with an open palm, and with his head snapping backwards, the Veteran (HP 20/58) stumbles back 5 feet, while the monk, for only a monk can move in such a way, jumps back 10 feet to open up some space.
The Veteran has seen combat before, however. He runs towards the closer foe, ignoring the Sphinx and strikes out with a two handed longsword. One blow catching the monk with the tip of his sword as she ducks to one side (HP 2/9).
Electricity sparks with a twist of Cor's ring and then an Eldritch Blast strikes out too, forcing its way between the joins of the splint armor to draw blood (HP 7/58). The monk jumps in as he turns to run and delivers a kick to one knee and then a crushing punch to the neck as the man falls, bringing him down into the dust. (HP 0/58).
For a moment there is silence.
This is unexpected, thinks Cor.

Encounter 2 (Ghasts)
The scent of death grows stronger as you approach an ancient, crumbling bridge spanning a sluggish river. Before you can cross, a sudden chill fills the air, and two foul creatures clamber up from beneath the bridge. Their rotting flesh hangs loosely from their bones, and their mouths open in a silent scream, releasing a wave of nauseating stench that makes your stomach churn.
