After several hours, the group arrived at the Reddansyr crossroads and turned south, soon spotting the town's walls in the distance. At the gates, they were challenged by the local guards and then allowed to pass, having been advised to take themselves and their ailing companion to the Giant's Folly inn. After pausing for a moment to scratch their heads upon seeing the overturned ship forming the roof the inn, they entered and were welcomed by Ian Gryphonhawk, who introduced himself as the inn's proprietor and town leader. Rahnee was taken up to the inn's suite, the only room available, and hot soup was quickly brought up.
By the morning of Nightal 22, Rahnee's condition had evidently improved, as color had returned to her face, although she had not yet awakened. Brok-Tul, Jokull, and Veran talked about the Giant's Run mountains with Ian, then explored the small town, finding a temple of Oghma. Veran took the opportunity to inquire at the temple about Ashnakzeroth and contracted for a tenday's worth of research, results to be delivered to the Gatereach Inn in Westgate when completed. (It is well worth seeking out the servants of the Lord of Knowledge wherever they are encountered, for much knowledge can be learned that is not otherwise available. --R)
By midday, Rahnee had awakened and was informed by the others of what had occurred during the bandit ambush and subsequent trek to Reddansyr. After washing up as best she could, she joined the others in the Giant's Folly common room, introducing herself to Ian Gryphonhawk. It was evident that Reddansyr was used as a base by other adventuring companies; one such, the Scarlet Cloaks, were also staying at the inn, and there was an adventurers notice-board in the common room. (I wonder if they actually had scarlet cloaks. Would that not be a disadvantage when attempting to hide from one's enemies? --C)
After some more soup and drinks were had, the companions were able to purchase additional supplies for the road, including some iron rations. Ian mentioned that the road south leading to Starmantle, where he was originally from, had been closed due to the weather and monster attacks. Somewhat hesitantly, he also asked the group to keep an eye out for his son Killian, who had departed for Starmantle at the beginning of Uktar. Killian had wanted to try the adventuring life and had not been heard from since. Ian said he was not overly worried, but clearly appreciated Rahnee and Brok-Tul's quick agreement to keep an eye out for the lad.
