After our morning at the Inn where I found information on the missing persons, the Scotsman, and the forest witch; Soren went asking around for more details on the Scotsman and his whereabouts. Nobody had seen him in a week or more, so into the forest we go. Soren quickly picked up a trail that led deeper into the woods. Along the way, Toussine picked up on the distant sound of bagpipes, and Soren discovered several black raven feathers, and some of the tracks on the trail mysteriously disappear.
We came to a brook and found the Scotsman across. Toussine and he spoke for a while in a language I don't understand. He goes by Connor McCloud, and he was hired as a bodyguard by the woman living in the woods. It became clear he wouldn't let us pass, so the party agreed that I could duel him to open the way.
I lost...
