G.o.S. Knocking on Death's Door

Summary: This week, we actually start Ghosts of Saltmarsh and meet our new heroes, who are ready to tackle a haunted mansion in Saltmarsh (or so they think).  After a brief encounter with some giant weasels (stopping and smelling the roses was a baaaad choice), the survivors regroup in the village and meet some more adventurers ready to tackle said haunted mansion.  This new party actually makes it inside and after some quick exploring, they run into some bandits beneath a hidden trap door.  A battle quickly ensues and just as things seem to be going the way of the weasels, Velkyn makes a noble sacrifice to trade his life for that of his party members (because it made a very tidy way to excuse Chase while he's off playing around in basic).
