[QUOTE="Tikigod, post: 4615970, member: 75310"] Winterhaven greets the adventurers with shouts of joy and surprise. A crowd begins to gather around the heroes as they make their way to Wrafton’s Inn. Salvana greets each adventurer with a hug. Scranton receives an especially tight hug and Salvana’s smoky eyes give a promise to the half-elf. The inn begins to fill up with townsfolk eager to hear the tale of the heroes. Their story hits Winterhaven like a windstorm. Soon, even farms from the farthest fields have heard of the battle in the temple, the defeat of the evil priest, and of the Thing in the Portal. Truly, the group has earned the name of the Heroes of Winterhaven. A feast of honor is declared by Lord Padraig and set of begin in three days. Salvana leaves the town to buy supplies in the city of Felcrest to the north. She will be accompanied by Ohlmert. The Lord’s son is to join the court of King Blackmane in Keltis Siddig. Morthos delivers the Minotaur Crystal to Valthrun. He asks the old sage of a paladin named Aecris. The sage shakes his head, “No, I don’t know of anyone by that name. But I am not well versed in the warriors of this land. If you are looking for a famous paladin, I would point you to the King’s court.
