Mary's Little Lambs
With time to spare on the day of their arrival to
Mudwater after shopping, the party (via
Vita's insistence) decided to investigate the crying from outside of town, where they happened upon a
hag named
Mary that appeared to have been kidnapping townsfolk. Unable to kill her, but able to save the two captors, the party returned to town for a night of rest.
A Dance of Diplomacy
After a bit of intra-party friction, and a navigational tool from
Xenk, everyone awoke the next day to
Bulgey's request for company on
his meeting with the mayor. He was unable to convince anyone to join him in his sham, however Fork tagged along at a distance, feeling guilty about his actions the night before.
Bulgey, successfully keeping himself from getting cornered in a lie, was regrettably unable to secure much more than passage to
Riverbell in
the meeting.
Sun Fall
Returning to
the inn with
Fork, they witnessed the
sun unexpectedly dropping from the sky to the southeast, triggering panic in the population and shockwaves of various sorts to shake the town. Regrouping with the others, after watching
Tilly's magic nearly wipe the party, their presence is requested by
Commander Alban Cobcastle, who tasks them with clearing the southern road, ahead of the mass of evacuees he expects will be following in a day or two. Paid up front for the job, and healed up at
Vera's Cathedral, the party makes final preparations to leave down the darkened road.
