The PCs opted to head towards the dungeon that they believed the Priest of Orcus was within. They basically came across the outskirts of Morrick Mansion, and encountered some of the Cursed creatures. The nearby town of Grollek's Grove became their base of operations.
They met with a few of the NPCs within the town, and became interested in acquiring proof of who was responsible for whatever had happened at the manor, on behalf of Richard Arien.
Along the way, Thyran Whiteoak offered them good rewards, for information about the curse or how to break it (or use it against rivals), but the more scrupulous members of the party didn't want much to do with him. The interaction was mainly between a (Rogue 2 | Brawler 1/SoulKnife 1) (the replacement of the first Rogue that fell to his death), as the rest of the party did not trust or like Thyran that much.
They had a bit of interactions with Leah Redoak (Druid) and Sarah Lyrean (Priest). Leah wanted as much evidence as possible from within the cursed area, as she was acting on behalf of the Druid's Circle. Sarah was used more for her curative (remove curse) powers, as she didn't want the curse to spread.
The (Paladin 2 | Bard 2) almost drowned, when he was investigating an area by looking down a well, and the NPC chick (cursed, believed everyone was out to get her) bull-rushed him down the well, in his armor. The party prevailed, and rescued Rommel.
They cleared, or explored, the majority of the outer areas on the first session.
On the second session, they went into the Manor house and played there. Rommel had another near death experience when the Tiger (cursed) attacked the party and eventually fled (wounded) but was dragging the unconscious Rommel away (to be its' dinner)... the party Archer (Zen Monk | Ranger) managed to down the Tiger as it was disappearing into the tall grasses...
A clue found within (a Vial of Poison and a note instructor the assassin to be careful, but to place the stone within a pool of water upon the grounds)... that motivated the party to check (Detect Chaos) each of the exterior pools of water.
The (Rogue|Brawler/Soul Knife) fell in battle, against the Demonic Mists... but the party managed to acquire the cursed rock, whom the Druid/Priestess dealt with.
