Salvation's Landing and Beyond

by Shyrene Windheart

We spent a few days in Salvation's Landing after making landfall. Some may refer to them as eventful.
 
The first day we got supplies for our trek north to establish Cleeve's claim and managed to convince Helga, the quartermaster of the town, to move up the preparation of the goods we need to the third day. Spath performed a lovely entertainment number to ease this favour, with all of us chipping in for the dinner and party to give Helga and her husband, Oscar, a much needed break in the working drudgery that a loaded airship brings.
 
The next day was likely what the earlier aforementioned eventful happening is what most would refer too. We hired our lizardfolk guide and then Geode insisted on going to see a crystal within the New Order's barracks. Once inside, the dwarf touched the crystal and sang and the heavens literally split open and the ground shook. A god appeared in the clouds and a magical shield of force formed along the coast. The New Order was not pleased, and the townsfolk were mixed in the reception of it.
 
After Geode woke from his passing out and explained his god had granted a favour of protecting the town, and the shield would be their guard. I spent the rest of the day hiding to avoid any further trouble.
 
The third day, we moved on towards Cleeve claim with the guides and supplies. After a half days travel we reached the abandoned lizardfolk village in the shelter of a cliff face. We discovered a group of three kobolds apparently led by an elder named Mya had taken up residence in the vicinity but left them in peace, as they seemed unlikely to cause trouble.
 
The jungle to the south seems to be full of howler monkeys, and many poisonous vermin which we shall have to be aware and cautious of , but the rest of the immediate area did not turn up much of concern. Mya has said that the hot spring caves to our east contain her former kobold clan and we discovered that a rock cairn to our north was in fact a codicil for war wizards. This pleased Umlilo very much.
 
Cleeve arrived a few days later with some builders and the encampment is starting to take shape. We have been here a few weeks now, and I grow restless to move. I look forward to our first foray into the wilds.
