The Goodbyes
- The party prepared for their journey with supplies and sentiments. They wished their friends, new and old, farewell as they departed on this new journey.
- Alfredo instated Rigatoni as the manager of the Kindled Flame and Knead & Knot while she was away, showing him a trust that he did not feel he deserved but would do anything to earn.
- Cinamon worked out an arrangement with Fiona, the daughter of Goulash and Glasha, to work at her animal shelter while away. She also arranged for Garlic to help out Fiona on occasion.
- Greylyn put trust and fear in Garlic to ensure that he would look after the businesses and people's well-being here.
- Quipper met with the captain of the Seafoam Dream, a cruise vessel a part of Seacaster Shipping and Sails, to inform him that she would not be on board for the next departure.
- The first natural stop on their journey was the capital city of Agande, Cellis, where they researched their destination, cobbled together supplies, and sought out trinkets and knowledge only available here.
- Cinamon and Greylyn shared a room and a promise to keep each other safe, no matter what, in the days and weeks to come.
- At the generosity of Cina, the party had brand new custom shoes and boots made for them by Garlic's favorite cobbler. Garlic also threw in a sneaky surprise for the party.
- Quipper and Alfredo did some shopping for memorable trinkets and valuable spices.
- Cinamon visited a temple to the Raven Queen and met with Doomguide Driel, a non-binary Shadar-Kai, and discovered that many troubling things stir east of The Shade and the Shadowfell itself, as a feared figure, Draudur Skuggi.
- The group stopped at North Watch, one of the Cratorian forts established soon after the fall of the empire to be a first warning system for attacks from Rokkurveldi.
- Here, they learned about the recent attacks by Rokkurveldi and the Raven Knights on North Watch and a clandestine mission inside of Crato City itself. They met one of the commanders of the fort, Postous Processus as well as a young, female Halfling named Kara Harn who told them much of what they learned. They discovered that the leader or organizer of this garrison is a wizard named Aelin Reed.
- After North Watch, the group passed many abandoned homes and small villages, as well as an almost entirely destroyed small town named Varish. They found remnants and corpses of undead creatures, soldiers from both Crato and Rokkurveldi, and dozens of ravens.
- In their final day of travel, the group walked in near darkness, despite the sun being high in the sky. They had officially entered the Dead Lands and walked a road parallel to the northern province of Rokkurveldi, Dimmadül.
- On their walk, they began to hear the distant wails of the Dead Lands and saw the shattered hulls of ships in Galley Alley.
- At the one mile mark before Grim Landing, the group found a large tree with a half dozen hooded hanging bodies on it, which stands as a warning to those that enter with any sense of levity in their hearts.
