Employer
A handsome fit human male, who is in his mid-twenties, named Eric Arlesen. He comes from the clan holdings of Markah in the Kingdom of Gilenmark in the far north, area of Ivinia. Eric is well dressed in this year's style of clothes from Seagate. At Eric's side is an young human women dressed in a Seagate-style blue gown, obviously clean and well kept. You can see by her hazy eyes she is blind.
He says 'We have spoken to the Seers from the Kingdom of Lokis', and indicated to the woman next to him. 'They directed me to hire a party of both adepts & warriors from your powerful and well respected guild.
One of the great clans of Rogna has raided our lands and killed many, captured more, and escaped before our warriors could mount an attack. My Okla is missing; presumed stolen. I want revenge. I want your help in this mission. Our great king - Harlmaar Ivyrsen, has given me this chest of gems worth 90,000 sp to pay for those willing to help me.
Payment

Scribe Notes
Setting Sail
We meet with our employer and discuss the situation. The 200' longship (the King Harlmaar's flagship) sails on the tide in 2 hours, Mungo orders a feast then we head to the docks to board.
- 2 weeks sailing west and north, gaining a tan, wind swept and a layer of sea salt.
Arrive at the settlement of Markah. Popn. 200+
Offloading fabrics and metal tools purchased in the south. The ship then departs back to Gilben.
We are welcomed into their main hall. Eric introduces us to his mother, Ola. She shows us around the village.
We are taken to the corpse of one of the raiders, Keeshah speaks to his spirit.
- They are from Heling on the Isle of Heg.
- Captain Turee - Destinian. 3 hooks instead of left hand. Used to report to Slimy Jack.
- 6 Destinians and one damaged ship, now using longships.
- They were raiding for sacrifices to appease a monster that has been burning their outlying villages.
- Had disease carrying bears.
- Wounded are unnaturally diseased - necromancy.
Ragna, Keeshah and Vychan help with their many wounded.
Some of their traders offer me a necklace to help understand their language. After a few hours, understanding of Ivinian does come.
They put on a feast for us, stories are told.
- Duesday 15th Meadow
More healing then in the afternoon we prepare for departure.
An older warrior wishes to come with us, Mungo is keen to lead him to a glorious death but we talk him into staying to protect his people. [i was only thinking of his best interests - Mungo]
Keeshah spends a few hours in rituals preparing his flying ship. Late in the afternoon, we launch and head west. Flying through the night for 10 hours, we land at the edge of the bay north of Heling.
- W'ansday 16th Meadow
We need to scout around to find a walking path as the thorns and bracken would make a slow hard walk.
A morning walk through rough highlands, we come to one of the burned out villages. It has been 6+ weeks since the village gardens were last tended, no sign of people having died here, looks like they packed up and moved to Heling. The hamlet is set up for defence, implies a hostile environment. We eat, sleep most of the day, with watches.
Mungo Wyrm Slayer
- Th'rsday 17th Meadow
We openly walk into town, past several abandoned villages.
The town walls are over 50' tall, wooden ramparts above 30' earthworks. We later discover they have been recently reinforced. The gate has been replaced by 30' stone rubble. Mungo declares himself sent by the gods to slay the beast. We are cautiously welcomed in over the rubble and escorted to the council by over a dozen warriors.
The council appears to be dominated by the young and passionate Ker, daughter of the Yarl.
They had a great defeat last night, a fortification outside the walls was overrun by the beast. Ker blames the seniors of the council for the foolish and doomed plan, she then publicly executes one of then men who broke and ran.
In our own special way, we negotiate to slay the beast in return for some gold, silver and the prisoners who include Okla.
The Destinians say they are getting the prisoners to sacrifice to make the walls stronger. Ker suspects they have another motive.
The beast is described as 140' long, 15' wide, 12' high, and glowing bright as day during the night.
We head out to investigate where the beast has been and are shown to a hole where it has emerged from the ground. 60' drop to a tunnel that leads away, appears to have been burned out rather than tunnelled. We find a scale that has been shaped from human bone by Solar magic as defence against necromancy.
Mungo casually insults Hel who stops his heart until Keeshah restarts it.
A storm starts magically forming above and around us, we head back to town through snow, rain and strong winds.
