20 June Finally, 20 June arrives, along with word that the blueprints are ready at the printer’s. Kinnka tells Kentaro to prepare the horses and gather all their gear. They’ll pick up the plans on their way out of town, and they won’t be back. Kentaro tells him with a smile that he’s already packed [...]
13 June Just after dawn, Kinnaka hears a loud knock on the cottage door. He opens the door, expecting to see Thekla, and is surprised to see instead an old woman, shabbily dressed and leaning heavily on a thick, gnarled walking stick. Her hair hasn’t seen a brush in weeks and her face and clothes [...]
28 May On 28 May, Kinnaka and Kentaro awaken to a cloudy day, with a strong feeling of rain in the air, though none is currently falling. During breakfast at the Christina, where Kinnaka is rapidly becoming a regular, he is surreptitiously handed a sealed message. He thanks Marko and finishes his leisurely meal before [...]
25 May Kinnaka wakes up in the pre-dawn hour to a thunderstorm, which doesn’t stop him from going out and wandering, as is his usual habit. By the time he returns home, perhaps an hour after dawn, the storm has passed, the clouds are clearing, and the day promises to become, well, if not bright [...]
19-21 May Kinnaka spends the next few days in an absolute rapture of living amongst nature’s bounty and occasionally checking the dead drop site or the temple table (always with negative results.) For these efforts, Mother Nature seems content to reward his adoration with ever increasing warmth and beauty. With Nature providing such ready entertainments, [...]
08-09 May As soon as breakfast has been safely put away, Kentaro announces the pair’s decision to leave today. In fact, they will be leaving immediately. Most of the men present don’t really know them, and some of the others aren’t what you would call close. There is practically no reaction to the announcement, although [...]
04 May May 4th dawns clear and warm, with no sign of the rain or overcast that has plagued the area for the past few days. At the ambush site, Kinnaka is pleased. Good weather will make things slightly easier. He’s not really expecting to see the silver transfer until 8 or 9 bells at [...]
30 Apr For Kinnaka, April 30th begins as a frustrating day. In his favor is the fact that Greysmere is a larger town, so he has no trouble staying away from people that might recognize him from his previous visit, but that’s about all that goes well. Apparently, the business day in Greysmere begins much [...]
26-28 Apr The next three days are routine. K&K wake early with the others, spend the day performing menial tasks, and sleep in the bunkhouse. Kinnaka has started taking long walks every day after supper. To queries about the elf’s unusual behavior, Kentaro offers the opinion, “Hey, ‘e’s an elf. They do that.” After a [...]
25 Apr The next morning, the same young lad wakes K&K up again. As happened yesterday, Nigel gives them breakfast, after which they head out to do the morning’s labor. When the morning work is done, they get lunch, and then the day is theirs. During their morning labors, Kentaro reports his efforts, and the [...]
23 Apr (evening) Entering Karakas, they ask the nearest townsperson, a young man in his 20’s, for directions to the nearest inn. He gives them an odd look, but tells them that the White Horse is the only inn in town. He gives them directions, which they follow to an older structure that stands on [...]
16 Apr Kinnaka shows up early at Kentaro’s room. If anything, the half-giant looks worse than he did yesterday. He smiles sheepishly and informs his disapproving partner that Crym’s flagon works very well indeed. He notes that Kinnaka is wearing his new cloak pin, but chooses not to comment on it. Kinnaka’s apparently not having [...]
15 April Kinnaka sits very still on his new land. “His” land! As if you can own land! Humans have such odd ideas. But the human concept of land ownership means that they mostly stay away, leaving him, even this close to the city, in more or less undisturbed peace, a situation he greatly treasures. [...]

16 March In the morning, having experienced an unusually quiet evening and achieved a practically unheard of six continuous hours of sleep, Kinnaka barely make it to breakfast before Kentaro does. Afterward, and after getting directions to the Guards Headquarters, our heroes go to meet the Chief Constable,Jennix. The HQ isn’t hard to find, and [...]
10 March The next day, the Ill Wind sets off early again. Despite that, they don’t find themselves arriving at Hardby until shortly before 11:00. As they approach, while Kentaro and Dagan enjoy the view of the large town getting nearer by the minute, Kinnaka seeks out Captain Dinntin and obtains directions to the town [...]
08 March In the morning, Kinnaka, as usual is up and about first, but is surprised when Kentaro comes out as he passes the half-giant’s door. The two exchange pleasantries, then head down to find Crym in animated conversation with Tyrillya, the Silver Spoon’s owner. After another round of pleasantries, Crym leads them toward the [...]
07 March The morning dawns clear and cold, with no hint of the Spring that in reality is only two weeks away. Kinnaka jerks awake from a nightmare that seemed to have lasted much longer than the 90 minutes or so that he knows he has been asleep. He stretches, trying to ease the kinks [...]
18-20 Feb After several days, no further witnesses have come forward or can be uncovered. All the actions that can be taken have been, including distributing descriptions and pictures (copies of Kinnaka’s portrait) of the pair. Copies have been sent to neighboring communities as well, but have yielded no results apart from a wandering tinker [...]
Even at the slower pace, they still manage to cover the 20 miles back to town in a little under 2 hours, arriving back after 1 bell in the morning. The sight of the town prompts Kentaro, who had been dozing in the saddle, to full wakefulness. Kentaro: We’ve got a problem we ave. Where [...]
