Events

    • Day 40 - Out of Old Town - The party had just finished capturing Thorn, the Royal Assassin in her Old Town hideout when the Chaos Cube activated releasing Audra and Terryn. While the party was catching up on events an earthquake occurred causing the caverns of Old Town to start collapsing. The party ran out of the cavern, narrowly avoiding being buried alive. They had to fight their way out but eventually made it to the sewers and out on to the streets of Ells-Wah.

    • The quake had caused massive damage to the city; many buildings had collapsed, fires broke out, and ships in the port had been run shore by a tidal wave. The party split up and some of them helped the citizens put out fires and saved innocents from harm. The other half went to the House of Ellis with Thorn in custody and had Edmund the Steward send word to the Chancellor about the Royal Assassin's Capture.

    • Day 41 - Rewards and Shopping - The chancellor arrived the following morning and took custody of the assassin. As a reward the royal house opened up accounts for each party member with Tortho, Kevit and Zookwinkle Grain Loans and Haberdashery, the largest guild in Traeconia. Each account was initiated with 100 GP each and a small safety deposit box. The party was also able to get magic identified and purchase mundane equipment.

    • Terryn and Janice went to the castle so that Janice could receive her reward of a full suit of chain mail for having saved the queen's life. Here they met with the King's Royal Ranger, Sir Gerald de Flettchet who offered to escort the party through the King's Retreat as far as the source of the Sanguine River.

    • Audra met her aunt Eliza and learned new truth's about her family, specifically that her mother had not died in childbirth and that Oswald (the man who raised her) was not her uncle. Audra also followed up on the strange list she found in the puzzle box by going to the Jade Valley Hall and speaking to a half-orc bartender. She was interrogated in a secret back room, but, was otherwise unharmed by the incident. If Audra learned anything then she has not yet shared it.

    • Day 42 - Into the Woods - After meeting with Sir Gerald in the King's Retreat, the party was escorted a ways south where they encountered a rouge bugbear gang. Gerald said they were poachers and deserters of the hobgoblin nation further to the south. He suggested that if the party was going into the Drytsib Seht (The Land Between) they should make nice with the hobgoblins and that the heads of these deserters would go a long way to establishing a rapport.

    • Eventually, the group made their way to an outpost which marked the boarder of Traeconian territory. They saw a large smoke plume off in the distance which Gerald suggested was the sign of a hobgoblin outpost. He also said that it was on the wrong side of the river and the hobgoblins risk breaking a tenuous treaty with Traeconia. Gerald went back to the castle to report on this but is also assuming that the PCs will act as “ambassadors” and check on the outpost. He suggested that the party does not try to sneak in, but, instead go directly to the encampment's front gate, show the severed heads of the deserters and demand an audience with the commander.
