Hungry wolves and nightly talks

by Marya Silverstring

On our way back to the tavern, we're talking tactics a little
Then Nim and Melech are back!
So we're going up to their room to talk about stuff
 
For the bringing back a scale idea, we come up with the idea, that dragons actually shed their scales every now and then
Also the dragon seems to be on the younger side
And it seems to be called a gemstone dragon
Unclear whether it speaks our language or not
We're in any case planning to start our journey tomorrow
And also taking this hunter friend with us
Also Magnolia is back!
She has shadowed Madame Korshad and saw the talk between him and Krishana in a different house
 
Then Dalmir, Nim and me go to the hunters they met earlier
They seem to be having dinner
Well, we are invited, so why refuse?
It's all about consultation anyway
There seem to be ruins on the way we're going to take shelter in
Most adventuring stuff can be had at the "Blue Cape Tradepost"
They're usually the last store to close
We're gonna meet her in the morning by our tavern
 
On to the Tradepost we go then!
I get a herbalism kit and a tent for myself
And they really try to sell us silk rope for 10gp
Takes a little to throw them off that idea
 
Then we go back, go to sleep and then it's morning already
On the next morning
Some general talk, then we pick up our halfling huntress and go onward
And we really trust in our guide
Also Dalmir plays an instrument o.o'
Meanwhile Nim hits the brushes regularly
We follow the "Angry Giants Trail"
Though there are no giants here, or at least there is only one story about one
Nims family originally was from the Underdark
And he trained his whole life to be guiding people there
Suddenly Hildove notices something and looks at some potential tracks and stuff
Some people seem to have recently come through
But not people from around here
We want to be a little on the stealthier side with everything after that
 
When we arrive at the ruins Hildove seems to be a little struggling
It's called the "Temple of Solace"
We then start setting up camp while she goes hunting
While we're setting up camp~~
Suddenly Direwolves, 4 of them to be exact O.o
I most definitely go helping Nim, who's solo in melee with one of them!
Hildove comes back mid fight
In the end there are three dead direwolves in our camp
 
Carson and me take first watch and we have a little heart to heart
Everything worked out pretty fine
I said, that as the favor, I wanted to watch over the scale and he agreed to it
He said, that he's a little lost in life and searching for purpose
His thought was, that maybe this group can provide help in finding that purpose
I kind of felt that a bit
Meanwhile I told him a bit about the life debt that I owe and that this job is kind of part of it
Also I reassured him, that I'm not out to screw over the group or him
We seem to come to some kind of understanding with each other at least
 
Then it's the next morning!
Hildove already took care of the direwolves and took their pelts
Sebastian is a little weird about his wounds
We get going anyway
Nim forages again
And Hildove scouts ahead a little
After some time, she beckons us forward
When we sneak to her, we see a camp set up on the side of the mountain
Six people gathered around the entrance to a cave
And Carson once again alerts people to our position, this time via snapping a twig
