[QUOTE="Wilphe, post: 2825186, member: 8221"] Last month on "Bother around Beregost": 3rd Day of Melting 1372 Our intrepid bunch of heroes was assembled in the tap room at the most congenial Feldepost's Inn, perhaps the best inn in Beregost. An establishment owned by the taciturn and withdrawn Roc, who mostly sees to the stables, but for most practical purposes run by the garrulous manager Curt* assisted by the graceful, and somewhat roguish Carlotta and the gangling and clumsy Bran. They were "between jobs", their last gig guarding caravans had paid them off here and looking for a new challenge. Their discussion was interrupted by the arrival of a young conjurer, Melicamp whose arrival at the Inn was met with a volley of chicken noises from a young lady named Idriane. Curt and Melicamp did their best to ignore this, but fearing that the situation may erupt into violence our protagonists attempted to defuse the situation. Idriane professed no desire to attack Melicamp, merely recounting a somewhat embellished and far-fetched tale of how Melicamp over-reached himself and transformed himself into the form of a chicken with a scroll stolen from his master, only being rescued from this dire state by a party of adventurers. She then left, leaving Melicamp to say how he could kill her easily but feared her backers. After a bit of talking, it emerged that he was on his way north to Baldur's Gate at his master Thalantyr's order. There he was to find some adventurers for an expedition into the Cloakwood, and had only stopped off in Beregost as his mare had shed a shoe. He agreed to give Neraw a Letter of Introduction to his master, while he contunued on his way to Baldur's Gate. However, some of the party, notably Mykal thought it would be an good idea to offer to escort him to the city. At this he became rather upset, and proposed a demonstration of his power. A crowd gathered in the street to watch Melicamp summon a fiendish wolf and challenge anyone to fight it. Though the clergy were standing by, and Melicamp assured people that it was not a lethal contest, the party decided not to let one of the locals take up the contest. Instead Mykal stepped into the ring, with a protective spell cast on him by Neraw. The battle was short and decisive, the wolf charged Mykal but was unable to approach because of the ward. Left confused and vulnerable it was nearly cut in two in a single blow. Meilcamp paid up his 10gp and left in a huff, telling Mykal that he'd never make a gladiator. Carlotta asked them not to take it personally, as Melicamp still feels he has a lot to prove. The group gathered their belongings and set out West on the road towards Candlekeep, High Hedge being on a southerly turn from that road. Passing the limits of habitation they came across a pair of charcoal burners, with whom Hal exchanged refreshments and talk. Where we left off the group were about to say farewell to the charcoal burners and continue towards the fork where the trail to High Hedge leaves off.
