[QUOTE="Morrow, post: 4711787, member: 301"] [b]Tides of Dread 0 (Garnham)[/b] From the journal of K. Garnham Seeker as translated from the Vallosan It has been two weeks since my last entry. Tomorrow we depart to seek out martial assistance from the Ohlman and the Phanaton, to free access to tarpits and to repair the Bronze Dragon. The time has passed too quickly. There is still so much to do; even if we succeed at every preparation there is no gurantee that we will survive the coming of the Crimson Fleet. Dexter and I have moved to the Last Coconut. Originally this was to improve morale among the Ravens, but I hardly spend any time there except to sleep and break fast and Dexter spends his evenings trying to woo Rowyn. It has worked out for the best however. My relationship with Lavinia has entered the gossip mill and it's probably best for our reputations that we sleep under separate roofs. Dexter has had an opportunity to return to his first love-carpentry. Sellis' Woodworks and Smithy had been in need of some serious reorganization. He soon set things right. It was from Gunnloda Sellis that we purchased an intricately carved chest upon which Maggie has cast a sonic glyph of warding. We have secured the chest in one of the warehouses, hoping that our mysterious thief gets curious and sets off the trap. As of this writing there has been no sign of tampering.

I had hoped to have Sabine act in that capacity instead of some stranger. I'm sure I'll be happy with whomever the Seekers send. It is through Sabine that I was properly introdued to Hevrik Aldwattle. He is the head of the local Witchwarden chapter. We discussed some spells that would prove useful in defending Farshore.

My time has been spent overseeing engineering improvements to the harbor and palisade, talking to people and making inroads with the local black market.
