In response to questions from Shanni and Darrow, the stowaway Errend said that he could not remember anything further to identify the temple he had been taken to in Westgate, it having been too dark. Dejectedly, he explained that he had been hoping to make his way to the Order of Kainen in...

By late afternoon that day, stormy weather appeared and the captain asked Darrow, Dermot and Shanni to go below decks while it lasted. The three compared notes on how they could pass the time, while the ship appeared to lose momentum and they could hear the captain cursing on the main deck...

Early the next day, Alturiak 26, the adventurers gathered once again at the Gatereach, Darrow being the first up and discovering Dinendal had returned. Once Dermot and Shanni had also come down and Aerikoth appeared, Jandrico noted that Rahnee had already left. (Saying formal goodbyes sometimes...

After the group safely made their way back to the Gatereach, with Aerikoth splitting off on the way, Rahnee decided she should go see if Dinendal needed some assistance (or could be found at all). This left Darrow, Dermot and Shanni together in an upstairs room at the inn, with drinks generously...

Raiding and Departing It was mid-afternoon on Alturiak 25 when the wizard returned to the Gatereach to collect Rahnee, Shanni and Darrow. The dwarf willingly left his ale at the prospect of some action, after Aerikoth explained that they needed to go to a place outside of River Gate, where...

Rahnee went to check the Gatereach Inn for Dinendal's whereabouts, while the other four adventurers made their way through the dark streets of Westgate to the Temple District, where they entered the Hidden House. By chance, they encountered Dinendal inside, as he had thought the others would use...

Once Rahnee and Dermot’s wounds had been attended to, the companions noticed the sounds of banging coming from a crate in the back left of the hold. Examination of that and another nearby crate showed that they had airholes. Darrow meanwhile stripped some of their fallen opponents of their gear...

As the company was already prepared, it took little time to say their farewells to Ian Gryphonhawk at the Giant’s Folly and strike out for Traders Road. As they passed the crossroads area, they noticed a group of wagons in the distance. Dinendal expressed his concern at possible bandit attacks...

An Unintended Rescue While Rahnee was still out and Aerikoth was studying his spellbook, Darrow and Dinendal decided to spend time exchanging jokes and drinks in the Giant's Folly common room. Their banter was interrupted, however, by a recently-arrived man named Dermot Kenner, whom Ian had...

When Rahnee arrived in the outskirts of Teziir, she found Aerikoth and Darrow in conversation. Dinendal was not there, the elf having previously re-entered to the city to see if he could track down Rahnee and Aerikoth. Rahnee reported that Queron was still furious and had refused to see her. She...

As the time for the meeting with Reggius was nearing, the group made ready, Rahnee and Darrow changing into their armor. Queron, clearly moved by their willingness to help find his daughter Janatha, wished them success as they headed out the door. Barakus led them southeast to a dark and dingy...

After some speculation about what the kidnappers' demands might be, Aerikoth queried how far away the lodge was from the city and was told by Queron that it was a half-day's ride, far enough to be secure from casual travelers but close enough to visit in a day. In response to a follow-up...

The following morning, Allie served breakfast and the three adventurers at the inn again went over the events of the previous day. Rahnee expressed her hope that they could do some good in “Veranbrok”, the former Hallton barony. Aerikoth returned and informed the others that he had spoken with...

Chapter VI: Against the Astorians A Father’s Desperation Moving along the trail, the group debated whether to press on toward Teziir for the remainder of the day, which would mean making a cold camp at night, or halt in Mountaingate. Aerikoth dryly observed that he would prefer to simply...

Following an invitation by the Prince to speak, Rahnee eloquently described the need for doughty warriors in their recently-won wilderness land of “Veranbrok”, purchased with the blood of two companions and torn from the hand of a bad ruler. Dalgan asked where the land might be found and stated...

The four excused themselves from the audience chamber and made their way to the temple, occasionally hearing excited shouts and talk echoing in the halls as the news of Haelgrim's recovery spread like wildfire among the clan. Once in Iskar's presence, Darrow told the priest of the results of...

Another tunnel ran east from the chamber and the party chose to explore the series of caverns after it, but their path was eventually blocked by a rockfall in the southern exit of a large chamber to the south. While the others thoroughly explored this chamber, Darrow had a sudden inspiration and...

While Rahnee and Darrow checked out the old mineshaft in the chamber, Aerikoth returned to examine the runes on the freestanding walls in the central part of the chamber. Since the runes were inscribed at the top of the walls and otherwise out of reach, the wizard beckoned to his summoned dire...

Two old stone huts were the first structures encountered, appearing to be of old dwarven construction and long abandoned. As they started to explore towards the south, several skeletal bats attacked them, but were easily defeated. None of the group had ever seen such creatures before and...

The next morning of Alturiak 16, the others awoke to find Rahnee sitting outside her room and counting the stones in the hallway floor. Darrow considerately asked her if she’d like an ale to start the morning off right, while Dinendal helpfully offered to provide a Calishite hangover remedy...
