[QUOTE="Abciximab, post: 5607568, member: 46017"] [B][CENTER]Session 12.[/CENTER][/B] Arodus the 20th(Cont). We met with the Pathfinders once again in the evening to formalize our agreement. Amivor tells us that the Pathfinder caravan will follow, two to three days behind us. They will have a runner to send information back and forth. They gave us some funds to purchase equipment and materials and gave each of us a Wayfinder (A bit of a surprise that last one), basically a magical compass. They also showed us how to construct the cairns and other trail markers specific to Pathfinders. He told us to meet with Klaus, the warehouse concierge, at a Pathfinder warehouse in town. Once that was done, we should plan a trip to meet N’Ketchi, the hermit cleric of Gozreh who we hope will be our guide. He mentioned the trip to N’Ketchi’s home might take a few days. When we arrived back at the inn, Chumba informed us that she was leaving our group. She needs some time to wrap up some personal matters in the region and cannot accompany us on our journey. Her presence will be missed (and not just by Max). We would not have survived the Shiv without her. [CENTER]----------[/CENTER] Arodus the 21st. Quite an eventful day, I must say. We spent the morning shopping, that part was uneventful.
