STAGSTEADS - The Black Basilisks, a newly formed adventuring company out of Knightswood, found lodgings among the cottages that flank the tree-girt, built-in-a-hill hunting lodge that gives this tiny village its name. Of the seven adventurers, only Torstram Harbrow has previously visited Stagsteads, where he received formal training before assuming his duties as a forester. Folk took the time to visit Torstram to hear the latest clack from Knightswood, while an elderly pair of locals took advantage of his fellow adventurer’s woodworking skills. Indeed, the warrior sisters Calaumdra and Belyndra Hardspike brought their mauls and axes to bear on felled wood and made short work of it. Their woman-high log piles were finished by midmorning. “I’m happy to split wood as there are no handy goblin heads nearby,” a smiling Belyndra said to an elderly cottage dweller, the two taking in the forest while sharing tea served in clay cups. Later in the day, the Basilisks took their meals from the Stagsteads serving window, and were seen to rinse their stamped platters(1) with cold water and stuff them into bags.The Basilisks are not expected to tarry long, and presumably won’t be exploring the nearby adventuring destinations. These include the Mushroom Dell, the ruins of Goldfeather Manor, and Oadal’s Stand.1. Such platters sport an antlered stag’s face stamped into its surface. Several decades ago the design of the stag changed, and has changed at least five additional times since then. Collectors and social climbers caught on, and ever since there has been an increase in demand (and a corresponding increase in value) for the older platters.</blockquote>
