The party decided to continue travelling with the caravan at least until they had met up with the Centaurs. They would work on their cover story as Francis has suggested, and supplement their supplies with whatever foraging and hunting they could away from the main road.
Party to supply DM with questions to the Centaurs.
The party will try to ingratiate themselves with the Centaurs by doing favours, trading favourably and paying attention to names and who’s who in their society etc. [Francis refines this by saying: Treat with awe and respect, as befits beings who are close to the centre of Wyldwood. Only genuine admiration, but some centaurs may see it as flattering.] One of the questions will be why everyone holds Warlord Saratak in such high regard, given his ‘state of mind’. Garaf wondered if he might have Clearsight, and so is considered to be mad in the same way as the ‘Mad giant in Torgan’
DM will provide list of (known) locations of thieves guilds and mages guilds.
Info gained:
==Runic Language/Jewellery==
*The Primitive Language is a runic language similar in style to Dwarvish, but more basic, and probably pre-dates the Elves.
*The language on the Bracelet and Necklace was inscribed (that’s the fancy word a master craftsman uses for ‘scratching’) and is contemporaneous with the jewellery’s manufacture.
*We have the details of the person to whom the jewellery should be delivered – some intimation that they are connected to the Universal church. DM to provide delivery details.
*It would be difficult to create a dictionary of the language from what we currently know.
==Centaurs/Giants==
*The Centaurs and Giants have an almost entirely oral tradition passed on through Bards and Shamans – only the settled, non-nomadic Giants are likely to record things in writing.
*However, the ‘learning by rote’ aspect of some of the Bardic/Shamanic oral tradition should protect the information from corruption/forgetting from the Great Spell of Voids. DM mentioned that the effect of the GSOV was to stop you making ‘connections’ between information, as much as ignoring/forgetting it.
==Misc.==
*There is no news on Skyfleet. The Orcs and Trolls seem to be continuing their push down to the South and against Torgan and nearby cities.
*The cleric Erasmous appears to be the only magic-user among the guards in the caravan.
