Kane returns to The Grove to pull a bounty for an owlbear Encounter Table 301 66, selecting 81-100: 1x  Owlbear (700 XP, 175 gp)

Casting mage armor from a scroll and then casting false life from a 2nd level slot (13), Kane takes a short rest and uses arcane recovery to regain the 2nd level slot back. Attempting to sneak up on the bear, he uses Stealth DC 15 vs Perception 7 to give disadvantage on init. Kane init 18, OW1 init 17 (disadv 5). Kane uses Lucky to impose disadvantage on the first attack each round until out.

Round 1
OW1 charges Kane multiattack

OW1 claw Attack: 10 Damage: 20

Evelyn's Magic Shope

spell scroll of cure wounds (50 gp) spell scroll of invisibility (150 gp) spell scroll of longstrider (50 gp) spell scroll of shield (50 gp)

weapon, +1 (300 gp) shield, +1 (300 gp) Wand of the War Mage, +1 (1000 gp)

gauntlets of ogre power (700 gp) driftglobe (700 gp) eyes of charming (3000 gp)

I just realized that I didn't provide any item access for spellcasters to boost their magic. So I've just added Wand of the War Mage +1 for divine and arcane casters alike. There are others but the price point is so high that I'm just ruling that there is no class or focus requirement for this item. Good luck and enjoy

Dak and Bargus go on an expedition mini quest  

They take a long rest and the duo perform their rituals in the morning breaking camp.  Bargus cast Mage armor casts his two level 3 spells for Animate dead at dawn arcane recovers a third level spell slot.

Location: The Silverwood Forest
For this mini-campaign, you are encouraged to add one more monster than the number of characters in your party, with the recommended party amount of two characters but also do-able with parties of one. Each encounter is repeatable. It's recommended that you finish each encounter, in order, before the next.

Unearthly moans drifted from the woods, and twisted forms were spotted between the trees at night. Villagers who ventured too close to the forest's edge returned as empty shells—or not at all. Those brave enough to investigate have discovered scattered skeletons and shambling zombies, all bearing strange markings etched into their bones.

Ghouls Encounter 1
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.

2+ ghouls

Dak hits GH2 (had the GHs on the wrong ones.)  38 dmg to GH2 killing it.

XP split 100 each.  Loot ?

Ghasts Encounter 2
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.

If you fail the skill check then the ghasts get advantage on their initiative
