Who's that dead dude?

We're in Zeif. At the temple of Andor. Speaking to Sumner Fletcher.
Dead guy is Hugh Costa - a foreigner who passed through Zeif some time ago.
He's from the Southern Empire. Super Lawful place. Drimker specifically.
We're told that he collected daggers.
We take his necklace, and plan to bring it back to his family.
Seems hiding out in the southern empire might be nice?
The law is the thing there. If you break a law, you might be enslaved and executed.
We're meeting up with the countess.
We're told to clean up, wear nice clothes and get nice to meet her.
We buy some nice clothes, and take baths.
We look to get stuff identified.
We go shopping.
We meet with the countess Lady Britanni.
We drop our weapons into a basket.
Lightface tries to return her doll, but gets stopped by her guards. - Alfred
The door bursts open!
Armored man with a staff!
"I got it!"
 
We agree to get back with Alfred on our wishes.
We think about heading to Middletown to get the shield enchanted and buy a magic shield.
We ask for a wagon, some horses and enough food and supplies to get to Drinker.
Lots of tasty food, and wine and everything.
And a bill of sale with all our names on it to prove it's ours.
 
We collect our weapons and plan our next moves.
To Drinker!
 
We stop in Tannis.
Ancient City. Farming area. Lots of destroyed & rebuilt areas. Architecture changes from area to area.
No farming around crypts and cemetaries.
 
Thirsty Ox. They have a livery.
"Great! Where's that?"
It's just inside the gate!
"Great! Where's that?"
It's right there. Right fucking there.
 
Large lumber carts coming into and out of the area.
 
Cloy is the bartender. He is wiping the counters down.
It's like Canada. Everyone's nice and honest.
We eat, and we drink, and we make merry. We enjoy ourselves.
 
We visit the mapmaker - the guy is an elven fighter named Slik.
 
Yopo gets goblin-napped!
We go downstairs and look for him!
We try to follow his cries!
 
We wait and Bogdan charms the guard and gets him to lock her up and free Yopo.
She casts a spell at him!
She Misty Steps away!
Bogdan goes back to unlock the cell!
She's got the key to the shackles.
Charmed guard lets Yopo free!
 
We get away in the wagon!
Onto Drinking!
 
We wagon on through the night.
At noon, we get to the edge of the Almor forest.
We rest the horses. and us.
Sabre Tooth Tigers Attack!
We get Saber Tooth Tiger Saber teeth!
 
Rather than haul the big cats to the other side of the river, we cross to the other side of the river.
We step on some frog people! They attack!
We fight!
We win!
