Shron

  Arriving at Shron; the party decides to set anchor a few miles up along the coast, and not dock in the city. Giff gives a time restraint for being in this city; giving Cerrin till dusk to return.

At the guard outpost Cerrin meets personally with Admiral Kane under the pretense of selling him a pocket watch. During their dealing Cerrin takes off his hat of disguise; revealing himself to Kane. Kane stares at him as if he seen a ghost; and then quickly refocuses himself. Cerrin ask him "Do you remember me?" In replay Kanes tone changes; and tells Cerrin "No I do not; now you have 5 seconds to leave this place or I will call the guards." Cerrin quickly leaves the barracks while putting the hat of disguise back on. The small group then begins to quickly investigate the city itself and asking people around what happen to the city. Along with Cerrin looking for more clues in to his past.   During this investigation they arrive at the gallows. People currently hung there; with a sign posted in both Common and Amurrun saying "Traitors to the Empire will be brought to justice." Cerrin somewhat recognizes on of the Catfolk hung there as an old shipmate. During their investigation they find out that the Catfolk are not a huge fan of the Empire at all; and are a difficult group of people for receiving information from. Eventually Cerrin takes off his disguise and finds it to be much easier to talk to the Catfolk in this town. Cerrin learns that the town once held the base for a group of people that were fighting against the empire. Unknown to the group their was a traitor among them; and ratted out the groups location. The empire full on attacked the city; killing both innocents, and resistance members. The traitor lead the charge boastfully; and then was never heard from again. As time slowly began to run out; the small group decided to head back. Unknown to Cerrin someone saw him use the hat of disguise, and recognized him. Half way to the ship this man fired a poison arrow at Cerrin; while yelling out "Traitor!" Completely confused Cerrin rushes to defend himself. Truth manges to get him to stop attacking for a little bit, and Archy quickly strikes him down with a fireball.   Bring the unconscious man back to the ship the party interrogates him. Tying him to the center mast; Giff slaps the man awake and Truth cast Zone of Truth. The party finds out his name is Nakkes, and was once close friends with Cerrin. Although Nakkes says he knows Cerrin as "Nine Lives Ruun." Nakkes states that it was Cerrin who lead the charge against the resistance. Cerrin states that he has "No memory of this at all." After a bit of back and forth the party lets Nakkes go making him swim to shore. As soon as he reaches shore Weasel cast sleep on him, and Nakkes collapses drifting into sleep.
