The party camp for the rest of then night without incident, and continue their journey to Parvus. 
 
We are well aware of the possibilities of the stilettos being used to track us, and having additional enchainments put on them by Thirson, but we decide it is best to carry them 'normally' for now, and only put them into the holding/stasis box at the point that we want them to become undetectable. Caradoc agrees to 'accept' the two stilettos and carry them for now. 
 
We pass through West Parvus - a settlement of about 800 people, with standard Elven fort nearby, though with the Alveran flag flying above the Elven flag to acknowledge that we are in Alveran (ie Adamas') territory. We cross the river on the ferry to Parvis (a smaller settlement), and discover that a party of 4 humans (with the kind of nondescript appearance that we would expect of Thirson and his cronies) had crossed earlier in the morning. 
 
We carry on the road from Parvus along the East/West highway - and camp overnight with some wagoners. We hear that a nondescript party of four were seen heading towards the highway and they are now about 6 hours ahead of us - ie they appear to be making their way purposefully onwards. 
 
When we reach the main North/South highway, we go South towards Stormhaven - which is about 60 miles away. (Northlake is about 20 miles to the North). We stop for an evening meal at the first wayfarers tavern that we come to. Kirsten picks up the scent of one of Thirson's cronies at the stables. 
 
The tavern is about half full with a mix of humans, Elves, giants, Ariels and even a native Orc. We have a decent meal - after which the Orc comes over to speak with Brokev (Francis joins them), and Umar goes to have a chat with the giants.
