Illeyre's Odd Ogres

## Task

* Find where the Ogres where that were attacking the city and eliminate the problem, and keep eyes out for Adelaide Evenwood who had gone missing.

## Quest Events

When the Wanderers arrived in Illeyre they made their way to the meet with Lady Teselle Evenwood who informed them on the Ogre attacks that had been occuring around Illeyre as well as the disappearance of Adelaide Evenwood. While there the group also met Evelyn Evenwood, Salazar Kalak, and Therrin Marival.

The Actions of the Ogres were as follows

* 1st farm was attacked
* 5 days later a closer farm was attacked; two farmers were left dead
* 3 days later two ogres were spotted by the guards
* 4 days later the ogres attacked guards in the south
	+ There were 3 ogres
	+ 2 half-ogres who were casualties in the battle
	+ Guard casualties: guard captain, four guards
* The ogres were last spotted going south
* The ogres covered their tracks after the battle and have not attack the town yet. They also have been leaving the livestock of the farms untouched, which strikes everyone as being very un-ogre like.

Armed with this information, the Wanderers were tasked with finding were the ogres were, dealing with them, and also figuring out why they were acting the way they were. They were also given the second objective of finding Adelaide Evenwood, who had vanished the morning of their arrival.

The first person the Wanderers went to talk to about the attack was Captain Kansif, a half-orc guard captain who was healing in the infirmany from a mangled eye after the ogre attack. The group was led to the infirmary by their guide Westra, a guardswomen for the town. While there Kansif explained in more detail exactly what happened when the ogres attacked the guard tower:

* The ogres snuck up on the guard tower and clearly had a plan.
* The ogres attempted to tear the guard tower down.
* They then retreated south and guards went after them, but the trail went cold quickly.
	+ 1 went south-east and 2 went south together
* The guard tower was the main guard tower for the town, as the rest were closer to the forest making it harder to see certain things.

Next the Wanderers began to talk around town to learn a bit more about what could be causing the ogres to act the way they were. Several members of the group were quick to point out that it seemed like the ogres may be under a charm that someone put on them, so the group worked on finding out if anyone in the city would have that power or if the city had any powerful enemies. They quickly learned that Therrin was really the only person in town who was very magically adept, though other people pointed out that Shae had some magic as well as Jorlyn and Jandar at the Fit and Flair. After some investigation and shopping by the group, they quickly removed Shae, Jorlyn, and Jandar from their list of subjects as their magical abilities did not fit the facts. During this investigation the group learned that the Wildes Grandeur festival was occurring in a days time on the Vernal Equinox, which added to the group's need to solve the Ogre problem post-haste, and they learned the location of Therrin's house. With Therrin being the only suspect on the Wanderers list at the time, they decided that it was a smart idea to break into his house to look for clues. A few people went that way while others went to his study in the Evenwood manor. The group at Therrin's house only found books about magic in his eclectic and meticulous library, no personal journals. They did find some footprints, fresh human, and unnatural scratches, but nothing that led them anywhere. The group who broke into Therrin's study in the Evenwood manor had more luck, eventually finding a map that had locations marked on it that seemed to lead to a location in the direction of where the ogres had fled. With a close escape, the Wanderers headed towards the location on the map.

Once they reached the location they were quick to find the ogres and Therrin. A fight ensued in which the Wanderers killed the ogres and incapacitated the ogres. The Wanderers had a more difficult time tying up Therrin to prevent him from using his magical abilities, which resulted in Aggarash stuffing dirt in Therrin's mouth to shut him up. While this was happening, Toven and Kaedra left the group without saying anything and some guards arrived to help transport Therrin to the city.

On return to the city, the Wanderers went to meet with Lady Evenwood again and discuss what they had found. It was discovered that Therrin was doing what he did because he was upset that Lady Evenwood was now in charge rather than her father, and some elven racism played in as Lady Evenwood was a half-elf not a high-elf like her father. While this meeting was occuring, Adelaide Evenwood appeared followed by Kaedra. Most of the Wanderers were quick to understand that Adelaide and their new companion Toven were the same person, but Clover took a second to understand. After the meeting the Wanderers decided to stay in Illeyre for another day to take a break and enjoy the Wildes Grandeur festival.

At the festival, the Wanderers became friends with a gnome named Fenphina who they met at pub trivia and invited onto one of their teams. They also cheered Fenphina on as she went on to win the arm wrestling competition and almost beat Toven in the drinking competition. After a day full of games, food, and shenanigans the Wanderers retired to the inn that they had been staying in, however they did not find the rest they were hoping for.

Right before she went down for a rest, Garyn heard a knock at her door and opened it to find Kaedra, who asked to talk to Garyn on the balcony and brought up parts of her past. While on the balcony alone and far from the members of her group, Kaedra revealed herself to actually be a Rakshasa in disguise, contracted by the Iron Hearts of Selse, and then attacked Garyn. After a bit all of the Wanderers, except Aggarash, were roused from their rest to assist Garyn. They were able to kill the Rakshasa before it could escape, Clover landing the killing blow. Afterwards the Wanderers talked to Garyn about her past in Selse and decided it would be best for Garyn to go stay at the Temple of Tyr in the Shattered City while the rest of the group went to Selse to clear her name.
