You approach the tower and knock on the doors. Harshnag is too large to fit in the building and will wait for you outside. After a short wait the door is opened and a tired looking Mage stares blearily out at you. “Yes? Can I help you vagabonds?”
Vagabonds?! How rude A wave of anger washes over Carilius as he grips his rapier, slightly drawing it from its sheath, fighting with the urge to pierce the point through the eye of the Mage. Able to fight the compulsion, he let’s go of the sword and quickly glances around to see if anyone noticed, not knowing what came over him
Taking the letter of recommendation the made reads it and frowns. “Very well come this way!” He leads you into the tower and up a spiralling staircase and into a large study. You see lots of Tressym flying around the room and at a lectern stands a tall thin human male in an ornate robe. This you presume is Krowen Valharrow
“Yes well the little sod should! He taught me my rudiments of magic and recruited me to the Harper’s.” Krowen scans the letter. “Hmm seems you’re trying to sort out the Ordning problem, explains why you have the frost giant outside, and we are to give you assistance. Hmmmmmm.” He pauses in thought twirling a finger through his goatee. “Ah I know! Here!” He rummages around before presenting you with a scroll. “This gives you access to the Harper’s teleportation circle network. We have one here in the tower, as well as in Loudwater, Yartar, Mirarbar, Neverwinter and Waterdeep. If you’re not able to access the magics required to cast the spells yourself then there will be a Mage on hand at each location, specified on the scroll, who can cast it for you. I hope that proves more than sufficient as recompense for helping a fellow agent.”
The tressym circles cautiously before landing lightly on Leo’s shoulders. Curling itself around his neck and purring gently. Krowen smiles “Oh that’s rare. Tressym do not bond quickly with humanoids that they are new to. Seems like you’ve been chosen by that one. Looks like you’ll have an extra travelling with you from now on!”
With nothing more to offer you Krowen bids you farewell and you are escorted out of the tower. Meeting up with Harshnag again you spend the night in a large tavern on the outskirts of the city, large enough for Harshnag to sleep in a barn for once.
The following day you set off north towards the Eye of the All-Father.
Halfway through the second week of cross country hiking you find yourselves crossing a frosty valley, all is peaceful for once when Harshnag stops suddenly. A low growl rumbles in his chest. On the far slope stands a fire giant, flanked by 2 hell hounds and a swarm of smoke mephits. The fire giant slowly stoops and picks up a Boulder while Harshnag unlimbers his greataxe. “Looks like we have a fight on our hands.”
Leo agrees with JK we have the letters so let’s go straight there

“Yes well you’re hardly dressed in court accoutrements. So what do you want?”
Good mage, we are here to see Krowen Valharrow. Please let them known we are here and wish to see him

He turns at your entry and shoos one of the tressym away. "I understand you have sought me out with a letter of recommendation? May i see it?"
Jhee-Kharr passes over his letter.
The tinkerer seemed to have great respect for you!

Leo looks to a tressym and attempts to calm it
