Begin
The adventurers went to the Dwarven Quarter in Freegate, attempting to get more answers. There they eventually found their way to the Dwarven temple, situated on a side street.
At the temple, they were silently directed to a priest who would actually talk to them. The priest told them he knew which Dwarven priestly order the pendant belonged to. It belonged to The Order of Those Who Watch. He was tight-lipped about the whole thing but, after hearing their story and seeing the rubbings Tim made of the original tablets, he apparently decided to trust them somewhat. He hired the group to follow the instructions to the hidden place in the Upper Reaches and retrieve whatever they find there. He pointed out that whatever was there was important enough that someone was willing to kill a Dwarven priest to keep the secret, so they should be very careful. He also said that he would speak to the single member of Those Who Watch living in the city and ask about any junior priests who might have recently become dead. The adventurers returned to the Screaming Shrieker.
While waiting for information and payment to be sent to them at the Screaming Shrieker, two toughs wielding enchanted swords attacked the adventurers. Facing incredible bad luck, the toughs went down almost immediately. The adventurers [minus Mikal who stayed to meet the dwarves] reported this attack to the City Watch. They were able to find out the name of the person the toughs worked for. The adventurers next went to the Gymnasium and attempted to talk to this individual. The individual they wanted to talk to died by rapid aging while the adventurers talked to his bodyguards. The adventurers were still there when the Watch arrived and the bodyguards reported that the adventurers had killed their boss (which is how it appeared to them). The adventurers were taken back to the Watch House to be questioned. The Sergeant gave the adventurers [minus Mikal] until nightfall to get out of the city and stay out for a month. Slightly banished, the adventurers [with Mikal] left Freegate and headed west to the High North Trade Route.
On the road to Route Terminus East (RTE), eight bandits attacked the adventurers. During negotiations the adventurers made a surprise attack and first crushed the morale of the bandits, then the bandits themselves. The bandits’ bodies were left displayed on the road as a warning to other bandits.
After a week of travel, the adventurers arrived at the RTE. There they paid the taxes assayed against them and received their travel token, authorizing them to travel the High North Trade Route (HNTR), an Imperial trade route that ran the length of the Worldspine Mountains. As it was late in the day, they decided to stay at the RTE's inn for the night. The adventurers got rooms, bathed, and ate. Darian Kyle got into a drinking contest with members of the Imperial Legion stationed there and won. The adventurers went to sleep for the night and left the RTE the next morning, heading west into the mountains.
Game session ends.
[I'm covering two positions at the DayJob while they look for a replacement for the guy they fired. On top of this, my knees are giving me grief, which led to me falling in the shower while getting in. Luckily I hit the far rim with my back/shoulder and not my neck. Even so, I feel rickety this week and probably for another week or two as I heal and then start some PT. All of this is a long way of saying that I'm posting what I have available and will resume the Ratpack when time allows.]
