The Valley of Ends

Ready to go here.

[OOC: that's what I thought, I remember it being described as really well made but not magical, thank you.]

While traveling Resfaen will take a closer look at the battleaxe and see if she can figure out what runes are carved into it.

Arcana: 10

Religion: 8

Salys will spend some time working with the group to make sure the residence is reshaped to everyone’s preference. Good to go after that.

I think we just leave a list with requests, like cleaning the kitchen, with the servants.

"We will clean out the residence at once sir," the servant replies as in the back, you sees several objects start floating around. Brooms, dustpans, mops seem to emerge from the ground and move around by unseen servants, "Is there anything of the old master you would like to keep?"

Salys thinks for a moment, "Yes, don't throw out any if his belongings, but clean them and set them aside in the workshop for now until we have time to go through them." Turning to the others, "Oh, unless anyone would like it, may I hang onto this whip? It could come in handy if I have to close with enemies."

Gotch is ready to go.  He doesn't need the whip either.

The party gathers up in the lobby and going over allocation of the items, the party goes through the exit and almost immediately walk into a tree. Looking around, they ind themeselves in a dense forest once more but the tree do not obscure Spiral rock and they follow the landmark through the eerily quiet forest. Half of the sun has emerged on the horizon as the party emerged from the tree themselves. They  make to spiral rock and see the city in the distance, arrival quite early in the morning, the guards at the door let them in, mentioning they would be changing out soon. You're lead to the governmane building and escort to a familiar office. About half an hour after, a very sleepy hafling woman comes in and hops onto the chair, spins it to front the party.

"So I hear you're saying you're cleared our ghost problem?" She questions, acting as serious as she can while holding back a yawn, "While I would be more then happy to thank you I will however be inclined to wait a few days to see if this is true. I believe five days should be sufficient?"

On the way there, Salys will have Bearskr help dig a grave for the bones of the woman from the prison and allow them to be laid to rest with respect.

At the meeting, "That seems fair. Mind if I ask where would be the best place to do a little shopping in town? Looking for some tools and crafting materials."

"*yawn* If you want basic tools I would say you'll find them in lower district. I would say give them a few hours to wake up first," The halfing mentions. 

"If what you've told me is true, these ghosts may leave of their own decision but sadly I can not rely on that so should they not depart, I wil request you return the body of the guards I've sent for revival," She continues, "Of course, I will give your bonus for their return," 

"Seems like we'll be in town for a bit." Gotch says with a shrug.  He would move out to check on his two dire wolves and make sure they are doing ok.  During the downtime he would like to see if any of the others can help him in training the animals.  he would also ask if they think the servants back in the fortress woudl be able to do so, the fortress being their new home base.

(I'll handle wolves and servants when done with the official)

At the mention of the bodies, Onyx sneaks a hidden look towards his companions if any of them remebers seeing any guard bodies in the mansion.

„Don‘t worry, we can wait for a bit. And if the ghosts shouldn‘t disapear, we can take another look if anything else keeps them here.“

Salys nods cheerfully, "Sorry for waking you this early, but we wanted to report back in as quickly as we could. I think I might swing by there in a bit. But for now, I think we should probably head back and make sure the ghosts are gone and reclaim the bodies for you."

Once they're outside, "You don't suppose those skeletons we destroyed were the guards, do you?"

„Or maybe the one gholem?“ onyx sais with a small shiver.

"Depending on what state the "bodies" are in we might never know without magical means. Going back to look might be pointless but I guess we should take care of it now rather than later." Resfaen says.

We don‘t need to go back, just activate the key somewhere close by.

(They might be outside and we have to make sure the ghosts go away anyway.)

We were up most of the night, so i would suggest we summon the mansion somewhere close to the city and rest there. Maybe the servants know something..
