Upon our return, we were approached by a Vroc and two smaller buggers. They let us know that Aterfodden, the first dragon of Linneaus, wanted to summon us to the Court of the Damned. We reasoned with the Vroc and settled on meeting again with it in a fortnight in Ailbhafair. After that we met with the Lord of Kraberkai, who compensated us for our sob story about his daughter and bid us a curt farewell. We then stopped at the tavern and met with Yngvild and crew. I decided to step out of the morning reveling to stock up on rations both for myself an the horse (whom we later named Coconut). I spoke with Ella for a short while, being careful not to keep up many pretenses. While eating the complimentary cookie I made my way back to the hall and was confronted with a Earth Genasi harboring my seat and in discussion with the party. Upon talking to her, we learned that she was working with another group who had all been killed by a dragon, except for her, and that she more or less admitted to being a rogue.
Given that she was interested in joining our party and our party being naturally wary, we decided to do a "trial run" where she would assist us with the abandoned Wizard's keep in Ailbhafair. On the road we encountered a clay golem that hurt Skamos considerably, afflicting him with some clay illness. He let me know in one of our conversations at camp, where I had been making opportunities to learn more about Athanasios. I urged him to stay out of close-ranged combat until we could have the issue seen to. After that, we encountered a pack of gnolls outside of Ailbhafair that we took down with impressive speed. Skamos tried to gloat about his accomplishments in close combat, but was thwarted on account of the injury he had sustained from a dying gnoll. We bandaged his shoulder and continued on, learning some more about our new companion Iluna, and making plans to have Skamos healed before we confronted Yonaton.
