The 12th of April brings a cool, bright day to the world. The Company breaks camp, but does not load the horses yet. Firena wants to look at the room that Shasivin has found. The Company, as a group, heads into the caverns one last time for a fortnight and Shasivin shows them the discovery. [...]

Drathon tells Firena that they have been leaving around noon from Doselford to get to the springs at nightfall. This way they have the entire day to work. It seems a reasonable plan so Firena decides to do the same. And so, on the 7th of April at noon, Tar’s Company pulls out of Doselford. [...]

And so, on the 20th of Ernalder the Company heads out of Crystalwatch. The heat seems to chase them and for the next five days the heat is just as bad as it was. By the time they hit Starkwall Castle, however, the heat has started to abate. Firena hesitates looking at the Castle wondering [...]

The third day of the Company’s encampment brings heat and humidity unlike previous days and by 8:00 in the morning the temperature is well over 100. The temperature doesn’t get any better on the plains as the day approaches noon. Firena’s mood isn’t getting better when she is told that the Bakluni approach. Firena tries [...]

In the morning of 17 Erndalar, Firena and Nyra head back to the Bakluni camp with Nyra and tell the big guys who meet them that she would give the Chorihani-nak her answer. They tell her to wait and in twenty minutes, they lead her to Aljenique’s vargo. Firena looks at Nyra a little apprehensively???the [...]

On the 11th of March, the Company prepares to leave Castle Starkwall with few good memories. Yalinari has spent a good deal of time over the last three days drawing a picture of the Baron to present to him. Since it turns out so well, he presents it unwrapped. The Baron thanks him and bids [...]

Firena feels herself running. The Bandits, they’re all over. Suddenly a pain shoots through her legs and she sits up quickly. She reaches for her sword and her eyes dart around. She quickly adjusts her eye to the sunlight …wait… it was at night. At this point she realizes that she is in a bed; [...]

In the morning, the Company heads out from the Crystal Springs via “The Stone Road” to Starkwall. Midmorning on the 9th, the Company can see the walls of the castle Starkwell. They also can see a village set back from the castle by good ways. The Company enters the village and finds that there is [...]

The 6th of Ernalder opens with a bright red sun promising a great new day. As they start to get closer to the hills, they notice that the Franz River, rather than being the typical clear that they would expect of a stream seems to be tinged blue. As they follow the river into the [...]

In the morning, the Company gathers for their last breakfast in human climbs for another fortnight. Though they aren’t anxious to get on the road, they are anxious to leave this town. After they are finished, the Exegetae approaches Firena and tells her that he has spent a fair amount of time in prayer and [...]

The first thing Firena wants to do when she can get up is to latch onto whomever is still around – Morven or Nyra most likely – and take a tour of the town, finishing up at the Twisted Pike. Shouldn’t take long if the others’ reports about the town are accurate, and I have [...]

As the 27th draws on, Firena is becoming more and more relaxed and comfortable. Near the end of the day she starts to think about bedding down at night. It is then that she sees them. The same five as last night. She remembers them terrorizing a passing caravan and riding off quickly. Laughing and [...]

The Company, having asked after accommodation along the way, anticpates a night under the stars, and they are not disappointed. The lack of lodging on the road leaves them with no choice but to camp out once again. When night falls, they set up camp, like before, near the road looking for passers by to [...]

The Company leaves Beadnall midmorning and finds the day bright and shining. Firena wonders if it is a portent of things better to come. She thinks about he actions in Stone Battle and decides that she will change the way she approaches things. At least she hopes she will. Vanith has informed her that there [...]

The Company leadership returns to Woodward Hall and heads to their rooms. None, however, has come prepared for a formal engagement at a Baron’s residence and there are several that take up Merit’s offer. Not wanting to be slowed down by bustiers, skirts, and billowing dresses, Firena decides that they best arrive in less than [...]

Firena and Morven get to the gate and find that Nyra and the archers are there already. At least, they are near the gate. They are looking through the goods at a leather vendor until they see Firena. When Nyra catches her eye, she starts toward Firena. Firena looks around quickly for the group that [...]

The group walks through the city until they get to the central part of the city. There are three main visual landmarks in this area of the city. The first is the rising belltower of the Temple of Apollo, the second is the City Courthouse dome. Next to it, Merit, explains is the Lord Mayor’s [...]

Firena comments to Morven that they can’t know what the Baron is like without actually meeting him, but there are several possibilities. He may be truly evil and in league with the lizard men, having made some deal with them that will allow them unhindered access to the town. She feels this is highly improbable.

Firena’s morning is busy, but the triage center only has two more vicitms that day. One with a minor burn and the other iwth smoke inhalation. As Firena expected, a person who exhibits authority and solid sense will quickly take over leadership of a situtation, even if they have no official authority. My midmorning, the [...]
