[QUOTE="Carlo-One, post: 9215991, member: 7015827"] After Aerikoth took the first watch, the wizard stated that he would seek other sleeping accommodations, rather than spending the remainder of the night on the cold ground, and teleported out. The morning of Tarsakh 11, after his return, Darrow decided to remain at the hoard site with his father Boirin, who had arrived with a new expedition from Clan Ironhelm to help remove the bodies of their clansmates. The other four adventurers, after some further discussion and speculation about what had happened to the dwarves, hiked away from the Hidden Peak and back to the main trail between Ironhelm and the village of Mountaingate. Descending from the cliff next to the trail, Rosten and Lloria tumbled awkwardly down into the snow, after having rejected assistance from the party mage. They then watched as Aerikoth stepped off the ledge and spoke a quick word of power, floating gently down to the ground. Dermot competently climbed down and dislodged the rope and hook, storing it for future use. After observing they had four days’ time before they were expected to return to the Ironhelm hold for the coronation of Prince Dalgan, a short debate ended with the adventurers deciding to visit Old Hamish, the hermit ranger who had been searching for a troll nest in the Reddan River region. Given the time involved, they voted to have Aerikoth teleport them to Reddansyr to give them a head start. After some time spent sorting out their inventory to allow Aerikoth’s magic to carry their weight, the group linked hands and Aerikoth’s eyes grew distant, the wizard one moment speaking a word of power and the next appearing with his companions outside the Giant’s Folly tavern. Inside, the group was welcomed by tavernkeeper and village leader Ian Gryphonhawk, who thanked Lloria for what she had done for his son Killian in Teziir, after he had gotten drunk and lost his father’s money for supplies to tavern thieves. Ian had no news, but let them know he had in stock the usual adventuring gear, prompting Dermot to purchase some alchemist’s fire. Rosten liked the idea of the notice board’s offer of 100 gold for captured magical beasts, but Lloria pointed out all the work that would be involved in transporting them to Westgate. Aerikoth informed the others that if they were able to subdue a suitable creature, say a manticore or an owlbear, he could change it into something they could carry back to Westgate. Once caged at the Quivering Thumb – the fighting arena offering the contract – the wizard could return it to its normal form. The four headed out the south gate of the village, towards the Reddan River Crossing, a three-hour trek. Once there, out of concern for potential troll or other attacks, Aerikoth cast a series of protective and summoning spells, as Dermot summoned his animal companion to his side and magicked his wolf as well. From there, Dermot found the way through the swampy forest and after two hours of walking the party arrived in the area of Old Hamish’s cabin. [/QUOTE]
