Diary
Day One
Bors describes his problem. He and his brothers have finally escaped their mothers clutches and can’t bare to return. He hires us to investigate the issue of the boars being stolen. All he can tell us is there are bear tracks left at the site of each theft. The problem started about 6 weeks ago. He recognises that we are new to the guild and gives us 14 resurrection stones, some healing potions (10) and 4 grenados filled with the scent of boar glands.
Day Two
Bors opens a portal to Kerrena and we step through to a small village used as a staging area for the boars being sent to Seagate. Everyone has an opinion about the thefts, most blame hill giants, goblins and bear shapechangers although none have any proof. We ask about the area and hear stories of a ruined castle of Cryth (in the swamp?) where legend has it there is a great dragons treasure hidden, but you need to watch out for the vampires. We are warned not to step off the path to the front door of the manor house. Ma’am will be very upset. We head out on the 5 hour journey but only an hour out of the village we are accosted by some ruffians demanding a toll. It is a rudimentary trap with a body on the road ahead of us, 2 hidden archers in the forest and 2 ruffians behind us. Other than Bracs initial attack failing miserably (and needing to be rescued by Dodgy and Jexler) we overpower the group easily. Brac changes to tiger form and chases down the archers who fled into the forest. He tortures them for information. We are all surprised when changes back to human form and bites off one the victim's testicles but it has the desired effect of making them talk. It is a shame they had nothing useful to tell us.
It isn’t long before we come to a bridge with a magic aura of “gather information†but we suspect this is part of Ma’ams defenses so we cross it. We stop and talk to a few hunters guiding some wagons of boars and beer, headed to the small village we started in and the portal to Seagate. Nothing new is learned.
About an hour before reaching Ma’ams homestead we are attacked by a band of orcs. Some magic spells stop them in their tracks and the leader starts talking to us, saying they are hunters who don’t work for Ma’am. Before we can get much else from him arrows start raining on the small band from the forest. It seems their cohorts don’t take kindly to ‘squealers’. Art throws up some mist over the whole area and the other orcs retreat. Brac searches the forest for a few minutes and spies a human female leading the remaining orc band. He comes back before anyone can spot him. In the meantime we have managed to save one orc so we take him and the dead leader with us to Ma’ams. We have also found some nice recurve bows and 6 silver pieces - finally some treasure.
