• 5727 gp

• Total gp 6251

Maervahr has a Charmed Bandit as an assistant for now. We will free the slaves and prisoners.

The camp was lead by Varkhan and they made their money from tradesmen by walaying merchants from Crellin'Deep which is run by a Cleric of Cine. They also waylaid people from Ylvenrest which was a fortified Inn that offered a guide service across the Lorianth Flow. They would pay for passage and go across the flow toward the easterlands. The owner is a powerful Elf from Ikazingu in the far east. The prisoners talk about her in fear and respect, they think she is a jaguar spirit. Ylvenrest is a neutral site that accepts anyone.

A lot of people travel to the 6 cities from one of those places. They would target monsters or people that were unprepared.

In the ruins they bear the sign of the skull, revealing a Temple to Geos. There is only walls but no altars and no dungeon entrance. The Bandits all believe the ruins are cursed. We dont see anything that would make it cursed but they all have different ideas of why it is cursed.

Thorgards asks Aliisis about the magic properties of their magic items. The prisoners all say they will trade information for their freedom. They have confidence they will not be killed due to the Paladin.

Maervahr's assistant says that the sword is important for killing undead and he gets the command word. The cloak is a Cloak of Displacement.

We head back to Mombafra.

On the way back we must make camp the first night. The weather is clear in the evening and we are in Scrubland.

No encounters the first night.

We have more days of travel. Maervahr casts Stoneskin on Pithor who is also healed.

The weather becomes excessively hot, dropping our movement to 3“ so we only can make it to the canyon.

We are carrying all the magic items on our Hippogriffs and in Jacob's Handy Haversack.

Slaves and prisoners are riding on horses, 28 total and 5 Hirelings with Aliisis and 22 Hirelings with Jacob.

We only move 3 movement points due to heat. 3 days and 2 nights. We start in scrub and end in the hills.

Nighttime weather is clear. No more excess heat.

The night goes by without incident.

We will camp out in the scrubland. Thorgard sleeps in his Elfin Chainmail. Maervahr casts Invisibility on himself.

The weather is clear during the day. No encounters.

The weather is clear at night. We set up camp in the Scrublands.

The night goes by without incident.

We pass through the hills, 3 hexes from Mombafra.

We made it back safely!

The prisoners were not all from one group. They are all people of different origins and backgrounds. We will get some gold for their return and freedom. We will keep the prisoners as contacts and find out more about what they know during downtime.

All the slaves are human and we will free them. Some of them will take us up on that offer to help construct Thorgard's aviary.

Mombafra pays 100 gp per level for the Bandits. The guy with the flaming sword has the Charm Person fading off, if we return his weapon and armor he will tell us how to access a treasure vault in Crellin's Deep. He is a 3rd level Fighter.

Our reward for the prisoners is 5600 gp.

Jacob and Thorgard will spar with the magic weapons and armors. Briiz senses a great power from the leader's broadsword. He can sense its strength. The name of the sword is Cataclyzer. Briiz tries to speak to the sword but it has not respond.

Timbraun tries on the ring and spars with Thorgard, nothing happens. Hold Person is cast on Timbraun by Tatrin and it works. Outside the city. Aliisis tries to wish for Fandillas back but nothing happens.
