Welcome to Restov
The group spends the night together, taking shifts and those spending time with the "native" islanders, Ruarc and Elurin, trade tales of this new land and of their own homelands, whether it be Daunton or elsewhere. The morning arrives, thankfully, without incident, and the group begins heading north, following Ruarc's directions/lead.
After another week or so of travel, Ruarc leads you over a rolling hillock, and beyond you see the city of Restov. It is not large, definitely smaller than Daunton, having under 20,000 inhabitants, even including the outlying farmers. Ruarc/Elurin may know that Restov is the least beholden to the Dragonscale Throne and the main home of the Swordlords, the masters of the blade that established the region.
On the path to the city, there is a large notice posted on the road, indicating that the Swordlords of Restov are looking for individuals of strength, skill, and intelligence to aid the city in ridding the growing menace of the bandits to the south, in the Stolen Lands. Interesting individuals should report to the Swordlords headquarters in the city to inquire.
The guards are more than a little suspicious of the motley crue, particularly Faustus' appearance, but they allow passage into the city.
