Scribe Notes
One Day East
We meet up and introduce ourselves, some previous companions and some new. Then we are introduced to the large Northerner (6'4" blond large build, middle-aged, lame leg) Borgar, he tells us of his home and of the troubles in the Vale that they would like our help with. The way he describes it the vale is a pleasant place where they send those unable to fight and the elderly to live out their days, then he mentions all the dangerous creatures in the area and it starts to sound like those unable to fight are sent there to be killed.
After the meeting we go our different ways to prepare for morning departure. Mayhem keeps our employer and his companions company as they carouse to ensure they survive the natives of Seagate till morning. Ibrihim and Prue acquire winter survival gear, some luxury goods and some trade goods. Cher sets to preserving and itemising everything. Arandor and I are guards and couriers.
- W'ansday 2nd Thaw
Setting out at dawn, we fly most of the day to the lake south-east of the Filgiso Forest then into the caves and through the portal to the east. We arrive after midnight and camp outside the caves until morning.
- Th'rsday 3rd Thaw
With Prue in charge we travel rapidly down river then across a channel to Laoet Island and into the port of Setagen. There we are met by guards who are unwelcoming until bribed by Borgar, then they remember and welcome him. We are due to sail north on the Grey Storm but it has not arrived yet, the guards encourage us to stay at the Docksider while we wait.
It seems the Docksider is where all foreigners are sent, sitting in the common room when we arrive are merchants from Kin Lu, Azuria, and ?. Prue informs us over mind speech that most of them are probably spies. We acquire two rooms on the top floor where it is coolest.
