 Incidentally, just to clarify: In my earlier post, when I refer to the '''Sword,''' I'm talking about Jahzir. The '''Fey Killer''' is Grial, the '''Kinslayer''' is Jorg, and the '''Exonerated One''' is Kulos. It appears as though most orcs don't have last names, so I am assuming that those who have earned honorifics are typically referred to by the honorific instead of the name. (Humans appear to use both the name and the honorific, but I imagine orcs would just stick to the cool part.)

			'''Eranon''' "I'm not really sure what all of that means. Does that give a clear indication of where Walden might be, or is it still just guesswork?"

			"By the way, something I forgot to mention, there was something odd about Valendil's trailmark. It's unlikely that it's a forgery, there are less than 50 people in all of Erdane that would even be able to recognize his personal mark, but there was something about the way it was carved. Kuyad, maybe you can take a look at it? It's a long shot, I know, but maybe you can see something I missed."

			"Also, I went scouting for old trails and tracks, and it seems that orcs have passed this way, maybe the orcs we were looking for. Some wolves went this way also, it's hard to tell after two weeks. They look like they're headed Northwest, maybe the Spire, maybe Dead Marshes, Darkening Wood, maybe Three Oaks, but it looked like a small detatchment to me, probably Radagug and his dogs. More oddly, however, there was a large number of orcs and humans, also some barefoot humans and some elves all headed southeast. The trail ebbs and flows, it would take time to figure it out. Time we probably don't have. I don't know what that means. Do you know of a detatchment that would be headed that way?"

			"Finally, I had completely forgotten another palce we can go for help, and it may be easier than finding Valendil's raiders. This place is called the Hamlet, I've heard it as the place "where the whispers ar born." That means the tenders of the wood must be there. They are wise indeed, and we may benefit from their council. The wood may be able to tell us or them more information. However, it may be much further from us, though in the same direction. I need to consult the map"

			'''Steve''' Is it possible to tell how large each of those groups were (the orcs and wolves headed northwest, and the orcs, men and elves headed southeast)? What is the comparative distance between the are where the raiders might be and the Hamlet? This may be information best dealt with in game.

			== Kevin ==
			'''QUESTIONS/Thoughts and Notes - Asked & Answered'''
			* [Durgaz] '''Regarding your understanding of Legates'''
			** ['''A''']: ''Good logic, I like when players work in legitimate "leaps" in logic that help the game progress. Obviously we "know" Adam isn't a Legate, he's a PC (or is it just a ruse?!?!!)... So it's good to find reasons to have him join to help the DM and that new member. That's a GOOD player! Nice job Andrew.''
			* [Durgaz] '''I had heard rumors that some number of us were to be placed under the command of a Sarcosan - Krell something - when we returned to Zorgetch, but I don't know why, or how many of us.'''
			** ['''A''']: '''''ROLL:''' Durgaz (Sense Motive +0) ROLLED: 14+0 = 14'' <br> ''Logic and experience might dictate for Durgaz a few things...''
			*** ''a.) If Radagug "failed" in his mission to kill Walden and/or the PCs, then he'd be punished or demoted, etc... ''
			*** ''b.) We know that "Fork" was demoted to poo-shoveller along the Shadow's Highway.
			*** ''c.) '''(you all have this intel)''' Thorton had mentioned that he found a large silver coin from the audience people who were watching the beheading (that began our campaign), they were seen paying Radagug for the entertainment of watching the unusual beheading. Some of those city folk were from Festrun, Thorton assumed many were from Alvedara since he found a large silver coin with the Traitor Prince of Alvedara on it. So the question is - was this a "mission" for Radagug? Or was he freelancing in his scouting time? If so what ties did all this have with Walden? Did they know who Walden was? Was it a fluke? For that matter, you might ask - how/why did Legate Pessoign just "happen" by Shadowwall.
			* [Durgaz] '''Perhaps only a part of it was, and the rest now serves this Sarcosan, or the Kinslayer, or the mad legate I spoke of - the Exonerated One.'''
			** ['''A''']: ''FYI on "alliegences" recap: Krell (unknown), the Kinslayer (the Sword), Kulos (the Priest). Lots of names... Any others I can help with...?''
			* [Durgaz] ''' Radagug and his dogs would not have been much good on the front lines ... it would make sense that, if anyone was left behind or reassigned to some other duty, it would be him.'''
			** ['''A''']: ''reassigned or he could have been sold, bartered, or given from one warlord to another, one Night King to another, one warlord to a politician - if that's the case.''
			* [Durgaz] ''' "I wonder if this Sarcosan who just happened to appear in the swamp with us knows of this Krell. It would be interesting to find out."'''
			** ['''A''']: '' They all know each other... right?? hehe... Yes, he MIGHT know this Krell. You'd have to ask him. (ie. I'd have to have Adam roll, and fill him in if he doesn't recall Krell off the top of his head)''
			* [Eranon] '''All this intel and info being said makes Eranon think of Valendil, his scout group, and the area of the Dead Marshes, the Druid's Swamp, the Darkening Wood, Three Oaks and such...'''
			** ['''A''']: '': '''ROLL:''' Eranon (gather info -1) ROLLED: 17-1 = 16'' <br> ''Why hadn't you thought of this before? Beyond Valendil's scouts aid. There is another immediate alternative, a place of knowledge in the center of the Druid's Swamp there is told to be a place where the elves learn to commune with the Erethor.

	** ['''A''']: '' Has Radagug and/or his troupe been through that area? Maybe. Wolf-like tracks can be found, some goblin and Orc. Though the Orc may be of the Bog Orcs... In your tracking/searching you would have found the wolf tracks passed within a mile of the area where the Trail Mark was, but not specifically at the mark. They did not stop and seem to be moving at high speeds at any point on their tracks Eranon sees in this immediate area. Were there "drag" marks? Yes, intermittenly. But this could be other prey if the wolves took down something hunted. If you like you might find more, so remember to search more in-game. Tracks were headed in the Northwestern direction - that could lead to the Spire, the Dead Marshes in general, into the Erethor, or even toward the Darkening Woods or farther North... There are also a great deal of orc and human (merc?) and even some bare footed humans and elf tracks heading Southeasterly. The tracks are very hard to follow at points. It will take time to track them in detail but one of Eranon's skill level could do it if needed (and if time is available)''		** ['''A''']: '' Has Radagug and/or his troupe been through that area?

			: '''Durgaz:''' "Assuming that he has not been reassigned, Radagug should still be taking his orders from the white worm, Talûn-karkû. Talûn-karkû answers to Jorg Kinslayer, who serves directly under the Fey Killer himself. I don't think I need to tell you who the Fey Killer is, or who he takes his orders from.

			: But that necessarily means nothing. Dafrum-Dâgalûr was not a part of the war against the Caransil; we operated out of Zorgetch, taking resources from the towns and settlements within a 100-mile radius and sending them up the river to the front lines. There was some talk that the Magauth, warlord, might order us north, as he had with some other units, to represent him in his battle for leadership of the Sword's new army. I don't know whether that happened. I had heard rumors that some number of us were to be placed under the command of a Sarcosan - Krell something - when we returned to Zorgetch, but I don't know why, or how many of us.

			: "Those are rumors, though. There was also one that we were going to be sent to serve the Kinslayer in the Darkening Wood. Then there was one that said he didn't need us, because a mad legate was going to bring the hordes of Cambrial up to put an end to Three Oaks once and for all. I don't know which was true. They may all have just been wishful thinking from a detachment that hadn't seen real combat in over a year.

			: "So I don't know. Perhaps Dafrum-Dâgalûr was sent north. Perhaps only a part of it was, and the rest now serves this Sarcosan, or the Kinslayer, or the mad legate I spoke of - the Exonerated One. Radagug and his dogs would not have been much good on the front lines ... it would make sense that, if anyone was left behind or reassigned to some other duty, it would be him.

			: "I wonder if this Sarcosan who just happened to appear in the swamp with us knows of this Krell. It would be interesting to find out."
