January 9, 2010: Back To Regis Vale

Dragons Dead. Orcs have left.
I heard the Twisted Eye clan had left. Well met. I assume you'll be staying here as well.
We weren't expecting to see another party in this campsite.
Luck of the blessed traveller I suppose. I assume you'll keep your distance.
Tor Geltenhand. Mostly specialized in long range magical weapons.
No trouble on the Plateau. Safe travel on the roads. Clear road to Rivergold.
Might have trouble from raiders.
I've heard that there's a lot of cultist activity in these mountains. Tiamat cultists.
What type? Dragonborn?
Yup, Dragonborn.
I've heard of all sorts all being dragged into these mountains. I don't know what they're up to.
