Nethelen 35, Mityaradras

Balmy, Sun-baked, Moderately windy.

Before we leave, we talk to Genelen and voice concerns that Malyn may spread rumors about us, and ask her to speak to the legate about him. She doesn't seem concerned - arcanists don't usually have a lot of sway in the court of the legate. We ask her if she has any horsetail (which she doesn't) and also ask her to aid us with a spell casting.

We head to The Travelers Inn to look for the Fierce Brethren. Dominus says they aren't here, but they left a bill unpaid. Taliesin pays it (-7GP Taliesin) and Omus gives him a rumor:

Ulrand Valerian has no intention of paying the bounty. He knows no one is ever coming back.

Taliesin slips him an additional gold piece which turns Omus's mood around. Aurelia pays him a gold up front to house her horse and wagon. (-1GP Taliesin and Aurelia).

We head out to the corrupted dome. Along the way we encounter some mossy stones. Taliesin inspects the stones and finds some markings carved into them - of an ancient argollean variety. It looks like it might be a map to something. After some careful inspection, we determine it is pointing to a location northeast of Turos Telle. After noting the location on our map (Mossy Rock X) we continue on.

A few hours after we make it to the forest we suddenly run into a group of 22 armed humans. Titania hails them and they respond favorably. After a brief parlay we each agree to pass by peaceably.

A few hours after that we spy 19 tall men, around 50 ft away from us. They look Jutlandic. We are greeted by Olf, son of Sigwolf. They say they serve Baleg - the same God Aurean calls Bel. While speaking with Taliesin, Olf calls Aurelia a whore, which she takes poorly. After a brief confrontation, Aurelia fires an arrow at him, and Uthman follows up with his serrated blade, killing him. The Company of the Feather turns to flea, but Taliesin is struck and killed.

  • 40 XP 6 XP ea For killing Olf.

Taliesin's horse had on it:

  • Rations, Iron (2)
  • Blank Spellbook
  • Herb, Comfrey (13)
  • Rations, Standard (7)
  • Backpack
  • Bola
  • 1272 GP, 5SP, 2CP

A thrall of the chaotic band of Jutlandic barbarians uses the celebration back at camp to escape, and stumbles upon the party. After some tense discussion, Titania assures the party that he has no evil intentions. After some further discussion of Yngvi's path to this place, the party sleeps. Yngvi dreams of a great bloody heart and is filled with dread.
