[QUOTE="Carlo-One, post: 7872984, member: 7015827"] After returning to the Gatereach guest house and equipping themselves, the companions headed for the road outside South Gate which lead toward Turnton. After some hours' travel, they were attacked by two great wolves in the wooded area near the Glees crossroads. Brok-Tul took several wounds in the fight, but the animals were killed without anyone else being harmed. [I](These crossroads appear to attract hostile creatures, as the party is regularly ambushed there. --C)[/I] Continuing on, they reached the northern outskirts of Turnton after another three hours. Once they had been challenged and recognized at the gates, the guard captain saluted the three heroes of the battle of Glees – Aerikoth, Rahnee and Brok-Tul – and was introduced to Veran. Asked by Rahnee for news, the captain commented that the town was doing well, although fell beasts continued to roam the countryside, with commerce among the Baron's holdings down as a result. Rahnee mentioned that they had run into huge wolves on the way and the captain commented that those and more were now common on the road north. The Baron's guard no longer sent out individual patrols, but traveled in large numbers with caravans once a tenday. The four stopped at the Traveler's Cheer Inn for the night, Rahnee generously paying for individual rooms for all of them. The innkeeper Karl was somewhat embarrassed at having to ask for payment, since he normally provided free rooms for her and the other heroes of Glees, but greatly appreciated Rahnee's coin in light of the recent drop in trade. The morning of Nightal 27 they enjoyed the inn’s hearty fare, porridge with honey and sweet butter for breakfast, although the taste was somewhat overwhelming for Veran's palate. Rahnee inquired about Baron Pahar, and was informed by Karl and two baronial soldiers who were loitering nearby that he was inspecting some new defenses and would likely be out for another two days. Brok-Tul, Rahnee, and Veran then paid a visit to High Cleric Carlin at the temple of Helm, while Aerikoth busied himself in the town.
