Jokull had unthinkingly occupied...

By late afternoon, the group had reached the Turnton-Glees crossroads. Wary of previous wolf encounters in the area, they proceeded along the road to Turnton with caution; not unwarranted, as it turned out, since they were set upon by a group of bandits led by a young woman. Aerikoth began...

Late that afternoon, the four returned to the guest house, helping a groaning Marik to his room. Aerikoth emerged from his own room, having noted the return of the others. While everyone had been out, Jandrico's workmen had entered the guest house and placed the new furniture and other items...

Everyone agreed to head to the Black Eye for a drink, where they overheard several inebriated patrons discussing a Cormyrian gladiator named "Josurr Mountbatten" who had entered the next round of fights at the Quivering Thumb on Uktar 20. Josurr was referred to as a rogue Purple Dragon and some...

Chapter III: Mercenaries The morning of Uktar 18, Janatha arrived with the breakfast tray, including a new herbal tea Jandrico Swift had obtained from a Teziir merchant. Rahnee enjoyed the novel taste; Brok-Tul appreciated it, but declared he still liked ale better. Jokull, after grabbing an...

Interlude from "C" My predecessor's writings revealed more about the task in front of me - to read and provide commentary on these Chronicles - and I now understand it better as what must be the final test of the Order's senior initiates. I believe that how I go about it may be just as...

Interlude from "R" I meditate now upon the role of chance and destiny. We are taught in the Order that Kelemvor's realm is the ultimate destination of life's path and is to be respected as such. Yet even this seemingly certain ending to our tale is subject occasionally to the whims of fate, the...

Upon returning to the Gatereach guest house, the company found that things had been returned to their original locations by the Watch following the search, although the wardrobe looked as if it had suffered in the process. Rahnee and Brok-Tul went to check in with Jandrico Swift, who apologized...

Garis said he had been sorely puzzled by the subsequent murder of Senthur Signe, along with the other Sembians who had participated in Yar's murder, until the party told him of what they had found. Garis told Iono that he believed theirs was the missing piece of the puzzle. Iono asked the group...

An hour or so later, the four journeyed to Castle Thalavar and joined Aerikoth, who had arrived shortly before, outside the main door.

In the early morning, Janatha arrived at the guest house with a breakfast tray and an extra pot of tea. Jandrico had thought they would need it, since the City Watch had arrived and wanted to speak with them. A nervous Janatha explained that the Watch had arrived an hour previously, but Jandrico...

As Brok-Tul and Rahnee slipped out of the common room to explore the rest of the tavern, a man who had been talking with the sailors detached himself and trailed behind them. Once they were alone, hushed words referring to "Helm's shadow" were exchanged and the man - who introduced himself as...

Conversation turned back toward analysis and speculation regarding House Cormaeril and House Bleth and the circumstances surrounding the murders of Captain Yar and Senthur Signe. Aerikoth suggested the possibility of approaching the Watch with what they knew about Istvan's warning the night of...

Endgame The four companions, after returning to the guest house, agreed on separate courses of action. Rahnee and Jokull would leave a secret message for the Thalavars requesting a meeting, as Rahnee felt it was time to inform Thalavar Steward Iono of their discoveries. Meanwhile, Brok-Tul and...

At dusk, the party met in the common room. Brok-Tul showed the others the perfume bottle he had purchased for Jamal and gave another bottle to Rahnee as a gift. They then split up for the trip to the Rising Raven Annex, Aerikoth making his way directly and unerringly there, while Jokull trailed...
