Les Stoodius: Field Journal #2

Sitting here in the Lion, eager to get on the road. Mr. Seneschal and Mr. Pavel have already left for Port Verlin with my letter to the Professor in hand. With any luck, she'll be able to provide us with some clue of what might be afoot. Simarchuan?! That's the last sort of thing I expected to hear about, let alone Thorongil having some knowledge of the culture... I must use the trip ahead to see if I can prise something useful out of him, and maybe check with the bookshop owner at the trading post as well.
