    Cloudy.

    More healing happens at the start of the day.

    The party heads back into the woods to make sure they got all of
    the trolls.  The find that the trolls remains have been tampered
    with.  The conduct a careful search of the area and find a hollow
    tree with a very small, crude oak statue of a hooded man raising a
    scimitar standing in the hollow (40gp).  Further searching
    uncovers 2 1000gp Opals wrapped in some cloth.  Dexter determines
    that it was more trolls that disturbed the remains and identifies
    the trail that they came and went by.

    Tristan and Ag are made invisible and cast Silence, 15'
    Radius on a stone, then head off to follow the trail while the
    rest of the party stays behind.  They spot a clearing with some
    trolls in it.  In the mean time, the invisible gargoyle also finds
    the clearing from above.

    In the clearing are a firepit (not lit) with an iron cauldron over
    it, a wooden chest, some dead deer, and five trolls with javelins
    looking at Ag (who had been apart from Tristan and failed his Move
    Silently.

    Ag cast Fireball while Tristan threw the stone into the
    clearing and then cast Scinitilating Sphere this damaged
    the gargoyle, who had landed to investigate the chest, the chest,
    which was something of an art object itself, and the trolls.  It
    also made Tristan and Ag visible.

    The trolls gave chase and caught up to Tristan, damaging him a lot
    while he cast Slow before his invisibility resumed and he
    slipped away.  He tried to use the wand that had been identified
    as a Wand of Healing, but discovered that it was actually a Wand
    of Negation and became visible again.  Ag used a chardalyn with
    Snilloc's Snowball Swarm cast in it to distract the trolls
    from throwing javalins at Tristan, which got them chasing Ag.  Ag
    managed to dodge through them and the rest of the party finally
    reached them.  Then the trolls died.
      10,000xp to Ag, Brogan, Darius, Denyae, Dexter, Henkles,
        Maanamere, Steve and Tristan for 5 crested trolls

    The trolls had small purses hanging around their necks, which
    collectively contained: 10gp Moss Agate, 10gp Blue Quartz, 10gp
    Rosaline, 10gp Woodtine, 10gp Sheen, 10gp Algae, 10gp Zarbrina,
    10gp Goldline, 10gp Obsidian, 10gp Agni Mani, 10gp Satin Spar,
    10gp Fire Agate, 10gp Fluorspar, 10gp Azurite, 10gp Sanidene, 10gp
    Nelvine, 10gp Moss Agate, 10gp Hyaline, 10gp Disthene, 10gp
    Zarbrina, 10gp Silkstone, 10gp Sanidene, 10gp Sharpstone, 10gp
    Frost Agate, 10gp Moss Agate, 10gp Sheen, 10gp Hyaline, 10gp Nune

    The chest had been to damaged to use, but the cauldron, the
    battered gold ladle with a vine pattern carved into the grip area
    in the cauldron (50gp), the contents of the chest and the
    medium-sized brass sculpture that hadn't been noticed behind the
    chest were all ok.  The sculpture depicted a scene from a
    well-known comedy written several hundred years ago where there is
    a case of mistaken identity involving a crazy pirate and a
    bouquet. (1000gp) In the chest were a small platinum sculpture of
    a duck in very poor condition (500gp), 2 Conch shells (10gp ea.),
    4 Opal Cowrie shells, (100gp ea.), 3 Horned Helmets (shells, 50gp
    ea.), and 11,964sp.  The party cleaned out the cauldron and
    carried everything back to town in the cauldron on the throw rug.

    In town the floating rug attracts attention and Ag blows a Pick
    Pocket attempt in the crowd.  The watch are summoned, but they
    decide that they really don't want to deal with the party and let
    them move along.

    The watcher from the warehouse doorway is there again that night.
