* We leave for Skytower Shelter
* Along the way the Chwinga’s follow us and start throwing snowballs filled with things like Infinite Bag of Beans and poisoned food
* Arriving at Skytower, we are told Arn is not here
* After arguing with the guards, Harad Cloudstrider, the chief’s wife, comes to the gate and allows us to wait inside
* Harad’s mother, Kaniaka Stormcrow, allows us to sit by the fire with us
* After talking a while, Lohengrin removes the curse that was blinding Kaniaka. SHE CAN SEE!
* She agrees to help us convince her son in-law to help us and sends us to wait in the griffin hatchery
Lohengrin speaks with one of the griffin handlers, Rahi
* The griffins and Akannathi are paired from birth and are paired for life
* If either of the pair fail, the surviving one is set free
* Griffin eggs are similar in size to goat balls but not in color
A griffin that is of age to be paired has become afraid to fly
* Swagger plays bardic inspiration to the young griffin and cures it of the fear of flying
* As thanks, Swagger is given a blue griffin egg and she agrees to take care of it for 5 months
* Cloak crafts her a Battle Bjorn for Swagger’s egg
* Sous chats with Rahi and learns they have to travel farther afield for food and are thinking about attacking the Ten Towns when they run out of food
* Arn returns and Lohengrin and Titanius goad him into meeting with the other clan without his griffins
* Lohengrin messages people
* Ballan about Sally “Can’t talk now. So close!”
* Dannika Greysteel “Meet you in Easthaven.”
* Lohengrin and Swagger meet Chieftain Ogolai before she arrives and convince her to come without her full army so as not to provoke Chieftain Arn
* In spite of our ineptitude, we convince the two clans to stop their fussin’ and a feudin’
* Speaker Ballan messages Lohengrin, he has news!
