Session 14: Troubles in Nadigave Report

General Summary

Returning Down from the mountains around Bjerglys the group makes their Way back west towards Nadigav. During ther rest on the second day they encounter a group of young Arnbjorns and Soren recognizes the cries of a hunting mother, through cunning maneuvering and great navigation by Muk Yuk and Thordun they circumvent a third encounter with the Arnbjørns after circling back.  Days later when they are nearing Nadigav they notice a lot op people, and that the forest have been thinned out. hundreds of people- refugees it turns out are felling woods for heating, housing and material. Soren is outraged by the old growth forest being felled and tries to take axes away form them- but before the conflict can escalate Killian whips out his drum and regales them about the Story of Ribhus , the Elementals of Bjerglys and the now blessed fields of that abandoned village. Many of refugees are taken in by this story and vow to rebuild their lives in Bjerglys.    Making their way into the city their posse of horses are stuck in line behind many other incoming wagons, and when they arrive at the gate the guard tells them to go as directly as they can to the guard station and talk with Fiadh- the Outsider captain of the Guard sent by Muradol, brother of Morokha.    Knowing this they go to the market immediately for a shopping spree. Killian buys himself a Beautiful double carriage, and the great spoils of Bjerglys are cashed in.  Even Uradil gets another downpayment, which he sends to his family down south.  After some much need and very urgent shopping they make their way to the newly built Constabulary and speak with Fiadh.   He informs them of the goings on, something or someone is attacking villages Sunward and to the west, they seem random, but have led to peolple fleeing from a huge area. The Lescailles are spending massive amounts of money to import food, and that the kanals and cisterns will break down if the villagers cannot return. He Suspects that the danger is somewhere near the Blacklake as the attacks seem emanate from there. He Also thinks that the Tripalkin are Responsible. He bids them to go out west to one of the possible targets: Larnera - about halway between Nadigav and the Blacklake.    The Group does not wait, except for a small Binge Night at the Laughing Cow with much entertainment and a regaling tale by Killian, with hardy groups of armed men in the tavern.   The next Day they draw west, slightly hungover but happy-. Even better- a large boom is heard from the Carriages trunk and they find that Ribhus has sent their finished objects! Branch of Spell Storage , Emerald Greataxe of Entropy , Spellpiercer ,Second Skin of Incorporealness ,and a bandolier.    After leaving a bit out of town they are ambushed by the very same armed men from the tavern, apparently in Emply by The vile Baron of Nalak, who wants Killian dead or captured. A short kerfuffle leaves one attacker dead and the rest fleeing.
