The Shadow's Codicil

We set out from the hall with the intent to map our way there and so we did. Towards the end of the day we find tracks of a large predator who was of a monstrous nature, and later a cave that was likely it's den. We obviously did not want to leave it behind us and went to confront it. It went poorly. Both Himo and Obin fell to some fel magic, but Geode was able to save them from certain death with his earth singing. We finished our mapping for the day and turned in for the night.
 
The next day was rainy, with my spyglass suggesting that the rain was going to continue and get worse tomorrow, so we headed back to base. We mapped our way back but saw fire at the HQ and moved quickly back to find the field on fire and corpses of zombies everywhere. They were Uthgardt and had glowing red eyes similar to what we fought in the temple. The lizardfolk had also been bothered by the undead, but knew not anything about them.
 
We waited out the worst of the rains then headed into Salvation's Landing with intent to take the river up to the Shadow's Codicil. Umlilo did some service to the Power and Powder that was owed. Geode went the Knight's of the New Order to discuss their request to see them. We spoke with Sgt. Phillipe, who offered us employment with the New Order in exchange for all of our info firsthand.
 
Geode fixed the shield issues hampering the town. It now lets through some rain and wind. The next day we set out up river and stayed at the White Suns Lizardfolk village the first night. Many druids were present as the codicil for Moon Druids was nearby. The next day we made it to the Standing Crane village where we stayed the night. The next day we turned north up river, and ran into a pack of dimetrodons who gave us trouble. Himo jumped into the water to push us to shore and got us wedged into trees without dying and we killed them. Then we butchered them and smoked the meat over a few days for 300 days of rations.
 
We mapped the area while smoking the meat and by the time we started out again it was raining. We reached the tower and found a halfling group led by a Trickery Cleric, Nobana. One of her
 
Butreyvia Smoketail, a follower of the Shepherdess, who failed in her mission as her charges died. She asked that I deliver her report when I next see the Shepherdess. I said that I would.
 
I then took the next 6 weeks to achieve my codicil.
