(Nov 19th – Dec 28th, 447)<\/p>\n
The party finished up their last days in Portreaux where Giselle had delivered Elemix to join them. After attending several social events, the party left for an inn “The Squirrel” where they took up their aliases. From there they took ship without incident aboard the Dawnstar<\/em> and arrived a week later at Adera.<\/p>\n In Adera they went to the mercenaries guild and hired Ricimer, a half-Carian shieldman. Sister Typhon consulted with the Temple of Aarith in the city about her vision from St. Aria. River and Em got into their roles with enthusiasm, while Elemix kept things subdued as ‘Bob’. They heard rumor of refugees coming from the south east, possibly from Malith.<\/p>\n After leaving Adera, the party got into a couple of incidents in Estraisia. First they got into scuffle with an over-amorous bandit named Wulfa (Little Wolf), the second in command of the Wulfengang. When he seized River, he was killed by the hand of Ricimer (who knew he was worth money). Emmeline blamed herself, as did River. \u00a0Second they used the money Wulfa had to buy the freedom of a talented halfing mistrel, Rosie. All this put too much pressure on Emmeline and all the powers trying to track, find, or harm her hit at the same time. After a time of tension which drew all the party in (except maybe Ricimer), Emmeline recovered.<\/p>\n Leaving town, they were attacked by the Wolfengang, whom the party killed to a man, once scout – Ertenn – whom they freed as a warning to others.<\/p>\n At the village of Cahswig\u00a0they learned (Emmeline through talking to the Malithii families) that some refugees were attacked by a rogue sorcerer (also a refugee). The party was pressed into service and managed to capture the mage, named Vasseck. He will be hung for his crimes assuming the refugees do not string him up early. The part also learned that these refugees fled before Stava was razed. Others were on their way.<\/p>\n All along the way, bands of refugees and migrants were encountered, some Carian, some Malithii, but all in trouble. The Duchy of Haran refused them entry, and due to prices, the party skipped them. A terrible freak storm almost engulfed the party before after a long slog through slush and snow, they reach and were admitted to the trading city of Storuvan.<\/p>\n In the city, the party rested and the Inn of the Royal Unicorn, an establishment where they found out shortly was also a brothel and high-class bathhouse…<\/p>\n The Winter Festival (The Gundarnickten)<\/em> of the Great Gods Gond, Krag, and Ilmar\u00a0is set to start soon, with the Konigin (Queen)\u00a0of Storuvan and her court, including her high Herzog (Duke\/Minister) and Zauberer (sorcerer) presiding over the three day festival.
