1348 DR, Day 17 of Mirtul (spring)
Having left the area of the strange mounds behind them, the adventurers have made camp a few hours later.
On the following day, they travel the rest of the distance southwards along the Barren River, until the familiar sight of the ancient city of Phlan comes into view.
On the evening, they set over the river with the help of one of the ships, and thus are finally back in the civilized portion of the city.
Near the harbor, they notice a few interesting-looking market stands that are just being packed up, unfortunately, but the merchant - who is apparantly selling all kinds of magical merchandise, the type adventurers might consider handy - reassures them, that he will be back at this place in the morning.
It's getting dark already, so the party returns to the Bitter Blade, where they have their rooms. While they have important news for the Council, they probably will only find it closed at this hour, so it has to wait until the next morning as well.
