This game is full. not accepting new players at this time. **Recap of Part 3, Act 3** The party keeps heading toward **Waldsby**, as **Nadya** fills them in on the entire town, even the juicy rumors. They make it to the east entrance of town where Nadyas house is, she invites the party in to meet her family. **Nadya** has two boys, **Orm and Mjoli** and an elderly neighbor named **Kashka** who watches the kids while she is away. She introduces them to everyone, and spends some time with her kids, telling of her travels while the party warms up by the fire. It is close to lunch time, and the children **Orm, and Mjoli** want to go to the **White Weasel** for lunch. The whole group heads to the White Weasel, the only bar and grill in town, they are greeted by the owners **Emil and Katrina. Zaur** gets an uneasy feeling from Katrina, like she is not happy to see them in town. **Juno**, being suspicious as well, runs outside to cast detect magic and probes the bar, she picks up that the mirror is magic, just like the **Attentive mirrors** they have found on the bandits. While the party has a few drinks, there seems to be a delay in the food they ordered, when they complain to Katrina on how long lunch is taking, she says they had trouble getting the grill working. The party again questions the excuse she made, and goes to the bar to get another drink, and secretly checks on the grill issue, **Arcelia** can feel the heat coming from the kitchen, and surmises the grill had to be going for a while for the amount of heat that is coming from the kitchen. Juno checks out the mirror while Gutrender gives her cover from the owners, Juno feels the mirror is active, and the party is probably being spied on. The PC’s get their lunch and eat but also feel like they were kept there longer then needed. Before leaving Zaur decides to look out the front window. He sees that there are guards out front, and Nadya confirms they are **Pale Tower** guards. The party buffs up before going to confront them, as they are expecting trouble, the guard captain tells the party to surrender their weapons, and to come with them to the pale tower. The party decides against being arrested, and battle begins. **Juno** hits the guards with **color spray**, and she gets 3 of the guards in the cone, taking them out of the battle for several rounds. **Ozzy** summoned a flying squid for the battle, Arcelia shot arrows, while **Gutrender Zaur and Walker** went into melee attack. The party went through the first set of guards quickly, but there were reinforcements that came down from Nadyas house to help. The guards used ranged attacks at first, but they had trouble hitting anyone in the party. The PC’s closed in, while Ozzie’s flying squid kept some of the guards busy. The Party did triumph and got some nice treasure and weapons off the guards. Juno comes up with a plan to get into the Pale tower by pretending to be the returning pale tower guards with prisoners. The party hires the graveyard keeper to bury the bodies; they also sell the weapons to the towns merchants and have the +1-armor crystal moved to Gutrenders armor. Nadya now realizes they will need to neutralize the rest of the guards at the Pale Tower to keep the town safe. The party also needs to close the portal and believe the way to do that is at the Pale tower. Back on the road through the deep snow with Nadya, they make their way slowly to the pale tower, about an hour from **Waldsby**. On the way there they were harassed by a small crow, a magical beast with some powers was surveying the party invisibly, looking to steal the keys for the Dancing Hut. The **Witchcrow** fids one on Walker and tries to hex him while going for the key, the hex fails, but it does manage to tear open Walkers pocket that is holding one of the keys. The party attacks, and Zaur grabs the Witchcrow, keeping it from escaping. The party damages the bird, and Zaur manages to pin it on his next turn. The crow had mirror images, but the party went through them all and killed the Witchcrow shortly after. The party getting close to the **Pale tower**, ready in their disguises, will try to bluff their way in and turn off the portal. (3pm)

Come play all kinds of board games on Monday nights! Both beginners and experienced gamers are welcome. You're not expected to know any of the games as we're always happy to do teach-and-plays. While the hosts will bring games, we also encourage members to bring any games they'd like to play. **ATTENDANCE** You do not have to arrive at 5:30 sharp! People drop in-and-out throughout the Meetup and we often play more than one game a night. For those driving, there is plenty of free parking near the location. **FOOD & DRINK** While there is no cover charge or minimum purchase, we do ask that you support the venue by making a purchase when attending. The brewery has a lot of non-alcoholic beverage options for those that do not drink alcohol. You are **allowed to bring outside food** into the brewery as they do not serve food.

Play popular party games in teams of up to four people, including games like Scattegories and Bananagrams and compete to win prizes! Bring a group or we will match you with teammates.

We play both board and card games that involve some sort of strategy component. Typically these games take 1-2 hours and are 4-5 players. Examples of these include Agricola, Great Western Trail, Tzolk'in, Terra Mystica, Castles of Burgundy, Beyond the Sun, Ark Nova, etc. If anyone would like to post comments about what games they'd like to play that night/solicit interest from other attendees, great to think ahead. No problem if not though, will bring a bunch of games, and everyone can just figure out what they'd like to play upon arrival. If you don't know games like the ones listed above but are up for learning, there are at least a couple of us available to teach. Please try to arrive on time! While you're welcome to show up late, if everyone is in a long game, you may be waiting for some time for another game to start.
