Hello Ackyn Selebon,We have finally reach Waterdeep after being on the road for 40 days. The trip was filled with many encounters. The first part of the trip we discovered the following about the wagons and guards:Wagon 3 Charle and Azbara Jos as passenger (page 31). The wagon is part of the cultWagon 8. Beer –Beyd Sechepol Half Elf (32). Beer has not been tapped.Wagon 10 Cooking oil –Lai Angesstun Gold Dwarf (32) money grubber.Wagon 11.

Initially the Teamster allowed them to join us, but as we road along with them trying to see what they were all about, I noticed they were a very ragtail bunch with no weapons and stage props from gear. I informed Longnose of this discovery. She pulled three of our party with her to convert the group and it started to get heated when our good barbarian Zip stepped in and settled the issue. We manacled them and threw the wagon out of the caravan and continued our trip gathering more in formation as we went. On day 6 we get attacked by Perytons and lose a couple guards and defend off the rest. I myself take huge hits but the cleric was able to healing word me before I succumbed to my wounds. (see day 15 for more). We discover more about which wagons belong to the cult (see wagon notes). We also discover we are being tracked by what we believe to be a panther though we think it is a druid. On day 10, we need to rest, and we find that wagon 6 has uncured furs which is possible that we got attacked because of this. We put together hunting parties to help cure the furs each night as we travel. Note on wagon discoveries below:Wagon 1 Allen, Abe. Know the Franklins.Wagon 2 Barry, Betty.

Known to 3.Passenger Chuck Flower, Passenger Aldor Urnpoleshurst (32)Passenger Green Imsa (32), Passenger Radecere Perethun Rock Gnome (33)Teamster Losvius Longnose halfling (32) female, chew tobacco and boss.Teamster Werond Torohar. Good with animals. Is a player. Thinks Mugen is Hot.On the morning of day 15, I awake with a cold feeling of death when I see Mr. Happy (Reaper) approaching me on a skateboard carrying some paperwork concerning my near death experience with the perytons. Unbeknownst to me, when the Peryton claw attack landed it should have ripped my heart out of my chest; however, its clawed foot got tangled up in my leather armor giving the cleric time to heal me which Mr. Happy quietly informed me was a misnomer and I should be signing his skull. We both missed this on minor detail when attacking PCs and therefore I had to sign his paperwork stating this mistake wasn’t his nor my fault and that I would only have 2 death saves from now on. (Press hard, 3 copies, place blood fingerprint on last page.) Our little meeting was seen as I was talking to empty air.After my meeting with Death, we continued on till about lunch time when we were surprised to see a noble hunting party running a fox hunt through the train. Some of the wagons get scared and bolt. Half of the guard chase the noble and the rest help to gather the wagons. During the gathering more information is found out about them. (see below). After confronting the noble (Cartwright) a fight ensues and we get quite toasty from a fireball. Our spell caster dies, and we escape. We then go grab more guards and come back but the cartwrights are gone and the spell caster is lying on his back quite toasted and burned but back with us. (Guess his master isn’t done with him just yet) Not much to report until the start of Day 26.Morning of Day 26, Longnose is very irate and brings all of the guards to a meeting to discuss something that happened during the night. One of the merchants is missing a wooden chest and has asked the teamster for assistance. We are then assigned to search the wagons to find it. We find the missing chest in Wagon 5 which we also discover at the same time to be a cult wagon. The cultist are adamant that they did not steal anything but there is no proof on either side. Therefore, all of the cultist wagons depart the caravan at that time, there were 5 wagons as well as the passenger wagon that were all together. We parted ways, but the druid decided to follow the cultist wagons (see below for wagon names), for half a day and find they are taking a parallel path towards Waterdeep. Due to their treachery, we couldn’t find out where they were going after Waterdeep, but we did find out all the below information. When we departed no further actions/ecounters happened the rest of the trip. I am under the impressions, the cultist keep getting us attacked to keep suspicion off of themselves. The entire time, they kept acting suspiciously. It is not our fault that one of them wanted to gain more gold/treasure by trying to steal a box from one of the merchants. As much as we are new to being guards, we did the best we could with the numerous encounters and attacks setup by the cultist. I even lost my life defending them and their wagons.Wagon 1 Allen, Abe.
