[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 2672062, member: 114"] Not very happy with the current situation, the band make their way through the woods back in the direction of Bridlerest. Near the edge of the woods one of them becomes aware of a bird which looks suspiciously as if it is following them. Not prepared to walk into an ambush, they call out for those shadowing themselves to reveal themselves, and are surprised to hear a familiar voice from the past boom out in reply “My friends, it is I, Juma!” At the edge of the woods they find a well hidden campsite with four adventurers gathered around it. Juma the huge black barbarian who has fought alongside the party a couple of years ago when they first encountered the temple of elemental evil welcomes them with warmth, asking the identity of those he doesn’t know and introducing them to his new friends – Leeta the druidic shaman dressed in animal hide who crouches at the edge of the firelight. Sir Torvald, the honourbound knight of Lythau and Blenhem a wizard from the same nation. Sharing war stories, the new party commiserate with them over the problems with Baron Noliss, and Sir Torvald suggests that their best route for seeking redress surely lies in the city of Tanor. Juma and his pals are heading northwards past their old stomping grounds and into the Barrier Range, seeking a dragonhoard which they have heard about, and a magic mirror contained therein. “We will be rich, brothers!” Juma boasts with his customary laughter, and they spend a comfortable evening together before setting out their separate ways in the morning. Back in Bridlerest they put their affairs in order and gather their supplies and belongings ready for the trip down to the capital of Tanor. Apart from the advice of Sir Torvald, and the fact that Baron Noliss clearly wanted to do something to destabilise the kingdom with the information they had discovered in the crypt, there was also the matter of communicating with Warlord Astimon about everything that has been going on recently – a commission with money involved. Before they set off, it appears that letters have arrived for each of them. Trajan has a letter from Jannek, Grey Lawgiver and head of an inquisition team and his cohort. Apparently Daros has been seen in the Borderlands, but no further action has been taken their since Borderlander Rangers killed the last inquisition team who went there. In addition the sword saint problem is due to be resolved shortly. Trajan also has a number of letters from women at court in Bridlerest, seeking romantic liaisons, plus a letter from Countess Naomi, in very restrained language, informing him that he is to receive an honour at the court of the king of Tanor. Anne-Marie has a letter from a group of Cadlanian guardians (psychic warriors) who wish her aid in mustering an assault on a demi plane apparently used as a prison by illithids, and a letter which is apparently written by the wizard who created her magic boots more than half a century ago before she had been time trapped. Strange because the wizards tower had been abandoned and taken over by fiends, and all the evidence suggested that he had died a long time ago, yet this was fresh writing. Furthermore, the wizard remembers that once upon a time Anne-Marie had been instrumental in the romance with his beloved, and he seeks help from her once again in romancing the reborn image of his one-time lover – Tania! Tania has a letter in code from her Black Circle mentor Lonnia. She is to meet up with him that night to help him in a circle magic ritual. She never finds out what the ritual is used for. Tania then hurries off to make a secret report to the Morannon ambassador, filling him in on all the information they have recently learnt. Then it is off by coach. Four days travel down roads clogged with merchant caravans laden with grain and hay – far more than might normally be expected at this time of year. A poor harvest in Tanor perhaps? On the fourth day they come in sight of Tanor. An amazing, marvellous, vast city. It is the first time that Zherinda and Trajan have ever seen the sea, and that is wonderful in itself, but the city – it stretches for miles! And in the centre, dominating the harbour is a volcanic plug rising up above the shoreline; and on top of that is the palace of the king. [/QUOTE]
