On our way to Winnowing Reach we found some bandits in the road robbing a cart. More Humblefolk making bad choices. We fought them, their leader was a Vulpin named Fray who was very strong from what Cyra said. Several got away but should be easy to spot in the future since one Jerbeen lost tail and ear. We managed to save most things and the merchant, an Eluran cat named Eliza Pennygleam. They are headed to Winnowing Reach as well so we travel together. We notice a fire close by the road and go check it out; 3 fire bat swarms around something. We fought them, seems they were attacking some skeletons with runes on them. I killed one of them which Collina didn't like. Collina is weird, these things shouldn't be out here and now it wont come back. Found another sky shiny in the hole, but it doesn't feel the same as mine. Also, someone was spying on us with a magic eye. Manager thinks it may be from College. We make it to town, Eliza gives us some things as thanks for saving her. She had a Whirley Tube! I've missed having one. We go to rest in the inn and Remington was there. Been awhile since we've run into each other. We told him what we had found out, he may go talk to the guild more to see if they can help us see the council. I must have drank too much, dyed hair blue to disguise myself and don't remember much. Oh, others think there is something in my necklace, like reptile or mean bird. I've never heard it noises like that before.
