In the morning, they took breakfast as usual at the Gatereach. Jandrico inquired if he should see about getting some more of the Mulhorandi tea, while Goruna brought in the food, porridge with honey and butter. When Veran objected to the porridge’s contents and asked for plain instead, Goruna...

In the guest house, Rahnee put a box she had been carrying away under the bed and invited the newcomer to sit and make herself comfortable. Belle, acting rather nervously, complied, then handed over two documents and a pair of gloves to Veran immediately afterwards. Veran first passed the...

Rahnee opened the discussion by stating that they were going to Turnton. Brok-Tul commented that Iono had told them that none of the big Houses would bother with hiring common mercenaries during election season. Rahnee said that it therefore would probably not be worth the effort to do anything...

To Turnton The next morning, Hammer 11, Jokull departed early without saying any further goodbyes to his companions, which surprised none of them. The remaining four gathered at the Gatereach Inn for breakfast, Rahnee and Brok-Tul trickling in last. Jandrico Swift informed them that Jokull had...

Rahnee tapped a fingertip against pursed lips for a moment, and then sighed. "Aerikoth has the most to lose in this fight against the fiend. And because he can teleport, he is likely to be the last standing in case things go badly. I suggest that Aerikoth carry Moradin's gift." Brok-Tul nodded...

Perhaps Jokull had been thoughtfully considering the dwarf's words or perhaps he was selfishly focused on his own problems, but up until this moment, since the arrival of the Ironhelm emissary, he hadn't spoken more than a few words. The truth was, ever since he had decided to go to Marsember...

Brok-Tul's face showed his astonishment, as he came to a swift conclusion. "Then... our dreams... weren't sent by Moradin himself... they were sent by Aszhnakzeroth posing as Him?" His brows furrowed in anger as he shuddered. "We're either played for fools, drawing more dwarves into the lich's...

Speaking solemnly, Dwyvar informed the companions that the “abomination” had visited ruin upon his clan once before, so they intended to see it destroyed, with Moradin's blessing. As Rahnee expressed her pleasure at the news, Dwyvar went on to declare that “the tidings I bring could mean...

News Back at the Gatereach guest house, Brok-Tul took a look at the scratches the owlbear had inflicted on Jokull, despite the warrior’s protests that he was fine. Jokull asked Rahnee how their chat went with Jamal. Rahnee told him that Jamal had been warned, although she was unsure how...

The next match was between two slaves armed with clubs, one each from House Cormaeril and House Bleth, who Stanslav announced fought to uphold the honor of their Houses in the arena; the last one standing would be the winner. The two slaves went at each other with gusto, delivering blow after...

Rahnee smoothed things over by stating that they would need to think further on the matter, and that meanwhile Veran should tell Aerikoth what they had learned from Melissa in Turnton. Veran reflected for several moments, then began, saying that Melissa believed they would need a mage to gain...

Very early in the morning of Hammer 10, Rahnee, Brok-Tul, Veran and Jokull tramped wearily into the Gatereach guest house, having just returned from Turnton. After a long rest, they joined Aerikoth for a late morning breakfast at the Gatereach, asking Jandrico to catch them up on happenings in...

Return to Westgate The companions took a full day and night to return to Westgate, spending an uneventful night camping at the Reddansyr crossroads. Rahnee separated from the others once inside the city, indicating she had some business to attend to and would likely meet them outside South Gate...

Brok-Tul, Rahnee, and Jokull argued with Aerikoth in favor of working with Marise and seeing if Seriawan could lead them to Rancel. Aerikoth pointed out that the purchase of the Hidden House had been completely legal and that, simply because it went against their personal interests, the others...

Marise and Seriawan Later that night, Rahnee and Veran returned to Queron’s house. Shortly after they arrived, Aerikoth excused himself and went upstairs to turn in for the night, while Rahnee, Veran, and Brok-Tul had a private conference in the dining room before going to bed. Jokull for his...

The four companions made their way back to Queron Ulanthar’s house, where they went over in more detail what had occurred with the diviner. Jokull found the diviner’s words terribly cryptic and not particularly helpful. (Such is ever the way with prophecies, reading of fortunes, and other...

When Isyio had finally ceased his chanting, he turned and looked toward Aerikoth with distant and otherworldly eyes. Unruffled, the mage asked the first question: “The creature known as Ashnakzeroth, does he or those who serve as minions to him reside in the location known as the hills of the...

The next morning, everyone except for Brok-Tul and Jokull made it downstairs for breakfast on time, although the half-orc eventually wandered down and managed to scrounge for leftovers in the late morning. While he was doing this, a messenger arrived at the door and handed a letter to Queron’s...

The Diviner At highsun the following day, Hammer 5, Queron gathered the companions together to update them regarding the investigation of Seriawan. Brok-Tul, busy composing missives to High Cleric Carlin, stayed in his room. Queron informed them that one of his agents had located someone...
