The Road to Trisworth

After the fight, Luna looted the body and found a number of fire bombs, a letter, a burned note and the tooth used in the ritual. She was frightened by the fire bombs and decided to keep them away from the rest of the party. The letter is from a parent pleading with their child to return home.

That night, Roland's god, Corellon appeared to him in a dream. They stood upon a hilltop clearing. Corellon mused that Roland was in need of some further divine intervention and granted him further skill with his weapon as well as an ability to cast spells. Roland awoke more powerful.

In the morning the party attempted to figure out who should be in charge of the Red Windmill in the absence of Tom. The obvious solution to this was Caelon, however questions were asked of his reliability when his past came into question. Kresrogg recognised some Draconic heritage in Caelon and Luna suggested that the supposed elf be more forthright with his true nature.

The whole group was led out into the gladiator pit and the mist of the early morning seemed to coalesce and harden around the arena. Caelon revealed himself to be a huge silver dragon but with some corruption or disease evident on his Draconic form. Tom, having known Caelon his entire life was awestruck and pledged that this establishment should be renamed The Silver Windmill. Luna, with some help from Caelon, recoloured the windmill silver before Caelon let it fade back to red explaining that a low profile might be preferable.

Now, all confident (except a still suspicious Kresrogg) that the Silver Windmill was in safe hands, the party set out with mule and cart towards Trisworth. After a brief wheel mishap, they passed a man making scarecrows in a hut. Roland identified that the man was in fact a fiend though did not know what type specifically. After a brief conversation the party left, being promised that they will see each other again soon.

The party stopped in a forest to bed down after their first night together on the road. Dinner was gathered by the ranger and a watch was organised. The night passed uneventfully except for a flapping on wings heard overhead by Luna.

In the morning our adventures passed through the forest and found two scarecrows flanking the path. Luna spotted a four limbed creature flying high in the sky. Unsettled, the party continued through the day. They made camp close to the town as they failed to push on due to exhaustion.

Here they were visited by the fiend from the hut. He revealed himself to be a devil named Ipkesh and was there to offer them a contract.

While this contract was being discussed Roland dealt a ferocious blow of divine energy against the fiend allowing Kresrogg to fry Ipkesh and his contract with lightning breath. The body dissolved, leaving a bag of holding, a hat of disguise, and a number of rings.

The party reached Trisworth in the afternoon of the next day. Luna and a disguised Tom speak with a Sovereign's Guard and he pointed them toward the "G.E. Tavern" correctly identifies it as the Grave's Edge Tavern.

The jobs board was found to have the following advertisements:

* Goblin Camp: needs extermination
* Armed Escorts: needed for travel from Trisworth to Hartneer
* Cult Information: required for inquiry into recent suspicious activities
* Clasp Information: required for ongoing investigation into organised crime

Deciding they should settle into town before pursuing any of these leads, our heros found a table in The Ploughman's Respite. They were served drinks and food by the Darkelf owner and Tom hammered a gnome in a game of King's Tower.
