Against the Stag Lord!: A Lord no More

With yet another successful day of drinking comradary with the bandits inside the Stag Lords Fort, and the sudden arrival of yet another charter bearing explorer from Brevoy it seemed our heroes had finally mustered enough man power to take the Fort for themselves.
After another successful gambit by Flynn Magnamir the bandits where further turned against their Lord when their chef, Fat Nory , was tricked into destroying ALL of the forts food stores and alcohol supplies. Using the confusion the scene caused the next morning, Marshal and the new comer Absolam stole off into the cellar to investigate rumors of an old man apparently held prisoner down there. What they found was a room stocked full with the Stag Lords treasurers and guarded by several creatures!
Unbeknownst to our heroes the room was also magically warded to let the Lieutenants know when it's doors had been breached, naturally this caused troubled surface side for Uldon and Flynn as it seemed they would have to fight the bandits all alone..
Luckily the pair kept a cool head as Uldon feigned ignorance and Flynn delivered a speech regarding the uncaringness of the Stag Lord. Equally luckily Marshal had taken time the night before to befriend the fallen paladin, Akiros Insmorte, how sided with his friends now!
A mighty battle ensued in which all of our heroes were nearly laid low by their opposition. Through the combined efforts of Flynn and Marshals ranged capabilities, Uldons overwhelming presence on the battle field, and Absalom's ability to support them in all areas including magical healing our heroes were victorious! Laying the both the Stag Lord and Devon from Nisroch to their final rest. Auchs was bested by Uldon during the battle and gave up, whimpering for his life, which Uldon spared, and Akiros nearly died from wounds inflicted by the Stag Lord but was saved by Absolams quick reactions and amazing battlefield awareness!
With the Stag Lord defeated our heroes have finally claimed his Fortress aswell as his considerable wealth for their own, not to mention recovering an Erastillian Artifact in the form of The Stags Helm.
What now will they do? Only the gods might know!
