Reuniting the Band

Starker will ask for Sir Chadwick’s help on selecting and negotiating the price of and fitting out a riding horse and a pack animal. He will also buy a new set of clothes to go under the Cloak of Protection. 

Quote from BugBearBait >>

Chadwick, like Kragen, has been quiet. He seems pensive, spending more time staring into his mug than drinking from it.

"I read Allindra's letter last night. (Pauses) I understand better what they went through. That beast was cruelty incarnate, the torture they went through could break just about anyone." The sorrow is clear on his face. 

"I stand by my judgement, it was a correct ruling (seems like he says this more to reassure himself), but they did right by us in the end."

Pauses to drink and gather his thoughts.

"We have many things to address, correct, and people to save (he looks at Kragen for the last part and puts his hand on his arm. Perhaps we start with the greatest evils and threats first before we get to the judgement of Yartol and Allindra?"

He clears his throat.

"For now let's carry on to Shalecliff. I'm sure they'll welcome the news of the slaying of the beast. I would also like to see how the reconstruction is going, and it'll be nice to see Bessia, Bronk and the others."

 

 Kragen hears Sir Chadwicks inner struggle and contemplates his own reflection on the events.

"I have a sending to Yartol, communicating that if he and Allindra truly intend to atone for their deeds, the scales of justice will settle fairly. Let us see if their acts follow their intentions, if they do, the Tyr will judge them justly."

"I have a missive in with the Stonejaws to meet in shalecliff. Last i heard they were busy at the mine, however i am awaiting clarification. In the interim, shall we pull on the Kellistor thread some more?"

Starker has purchased a riding horse and pack horse with appropriate saddles.

/plans?

Xymox: "What are we going to do once we reach Mirabar?  I think we should formulate a strategy."

It is a two day trip to Mirabar.  This is a big trading city of the north.  It is ruled by the trade houses and functions in an orderly manner.  High and wide, sloped walls protect the city proper and there is a strong standing militia to protect against marauding humanoids from the mountains.

Any common item you wish to purchase is available here for listed prices.

Rooms are easily arranged at an inn.  There are many taverns here as well for food and drink.

Starker:”I would like to visit my Tower. I am anxious to start filling its shelves with keepsakes and seeing how progress has come along on my laboratory and see what my steward had been able to accomplish towards my teleport circle!”

Starker:”I am not uninterested, though, in retrieving my pickled illithid brain. If that takes us too far out if our way, perhaps we could find and murder an illithid. <pauses to refer to his notebook.> One that is female, left-handed, and a poet, if possible.”

Kragen addresses the group. "Cleggor has responded and they are busy at the mine. He mentioned that there are refuges from Vaasa that are now there. If we hewd to the mines to meet the Stonejaws, we can stop at shalecliff, do some additional.investigstion at Kellistors tower and i can interview some of the refuges and discern what is occuring in my homeland.", "it may be time to return and provide Tyrs Judgement to the Warlock Lord Thistlepig."

Kragen purchases a stout mule for the trip, including tack, harness, saddle and bags

If the weather here is warmer, Kragen unastunes the ring of warmth and attunes Tzantars cloak.

Horses are acquired in Mirabar.  The Company then heads out to Shalecliff in the morning.  It is a couple of days travel to Shalecliff from here.  A few inns dot the plateau along the way.  On the third night, you have set up camp beside a creek to water the horses.  The night comes and watches are set.

In the night......shenanigans!

Camp Site

A howling wind wakes you in the middle of the night.  The sky is clear and the stars bright.  Selûne is high in the sky, the Tears twinkling brightly.

/actions?

(Waiting to get in map)

Starker casts Mage Armor and sends Cyrus out to look around, sharing his familiar’s senses. 

(( Anyone else ))

(( Update.  Xymox has cast Leomund's Tiny Hut that can accommodate all of the bipeds. Reset.  ))

If Chadwick hasn't already switched attunement from the ring of warmth to the cloak of protection, he'll begin the process (maybe before bed?).

Assuming he isn't wearing his armor he'll start putting it on.

Using their telepathic link he asks Freya "Do you hear or see any danger?"

Trolkarl will exit and look about with the Angelic gaze 120’ to support the other humans 

Kragen prepares a spell abd awaits word from Trolkarl on source of the eerie feeling.
