Adventure Notes

Currently:

We are looking to find One-Eyed Kem´s lair plus the man himself. Possa gave us this information: “Take the hidden north trail; at the lesser Bleakwater you must find Tjar; only he can take you to the fallen knight – his sword points the way. When you reach the red rocks, take the low path.”

Current Leads:

• Violet needs to find Thais in town - she seems to have had a sudden change in her daily routine, which doesn´t sound too positive. (But Master Artigas, head of the Fenwalker´s Guild knows Thais well). We found her spear and surcoat in the Dire Fens.
• Markel wishes to find a Sunken City in the Dire Fens, has a map leading to it in fact.
• Darithe wishes to make inquiries at the Fenwalker´s Guild (in aid of Markel, yes?)
• Gabriel was commanded to visit Nalencampa to the west of town. Nalencampa´s servants Brais and Amais sent the group there from the market. Nalencampa said that Gabriel and Fariya are but pawns in a wider game.
• Fariya is investigating the murder of a Jhonian merchant to the west of town, as is Gabriel. A gold ring set with a jasper stone inscribed with Jhonian writing, was taken when the merchant's caravan was raided.
