Participating Characters

Heimdalsgate, Illia Viran, Jalfrezi, Pan Oros, Rickard Hill, Therthyra Brutebeard

Leaving Anvilrock

Initial attempts at leaving Anvilrock failed, as the various exit tunnels were still collapsed. The party set about helping to clear the tunnels and left Anvilrock as soon as the way was clear, ignoring the fact that there were still trapped dwarves in the vicinity. Once the party saw the sun again, they gathered up their mounts and headed off towards Streamwind.

Bomgar the Barbarian

As the party traveled close to the edge of the Kharadin Woods, loud sobbing could be heard from within. Upon investigation, the party came upon an overly-muscled wild elf who wielded a monstrously large greatsword. The elvish speakers in the group spoke with him at length. He named himself as Bomgar the Barbarian, a recently deposed bandit leader (though he would not know what the word "deposed" meant, as he was quite simple of mind). It took some effort to get him to calm down, but between pep talk and drug pushing, Pan Oros convinced Bomgar that he should head back to the bandit group and reclaim the leadership. Bomgar also learned that there is a difference between humans and lumberjacks and that he would take this into consideration during future banditry. He also was given enough courage to seek out Clarie Windspeaker and tell her how he feels for her.

Despite Jalfrezi's best efforts to get the party to fight the barbarian wild elf (to steal his flaming sword), Bomgar left the party peacefully.

The Streamwind Situation

The party arrived to find Streamwind in various states of rubble and reconstruction. The residents were sullen, ill-tempered, and lacking the joy for life normally exhibited by elves. Heimdalsgate led the party in seeking out Orack Reieeg. He was not able to get any help from the local population, who simply shook their heads and shambled on, but after some hours of searching Heimdalsgate came upon a very drunk Orack Reieeg. After pestering the poor drunk for some time, he became enraged and brought down a flamestrike upon the approaching Rickard Hill. As the party quickly restrained the man, the villagers converged on the conflict and attacked the party with improvised weapons. The lawful good paladin Rickard Hill suggested that Pan Oros vomit a swarm of insects upon the villagers, but the witch declined to kill the poor and downtrodden crowd who were simply trying to defend a friend against a group of strangers.

The fight was broken up as a dozen riders from the Garriton garrison charged into town. As the men came into view of the elves, they simply stopped their struggle against the party and stepped away without emotion. The riders stopped short of the fight as their leader shouted, "Stop this disorder immediately!"

Rickard let Orack get up and the oracle complained bitterly about the party breaking his booze jug (he had actually smashed it over Rickard's head during the struggle). He requested Rigg Alsman, the leader of the Garriton men, to take the party into custody. He refused while calling the oracle a "blind old fool". Rigg demanded that the party disperse. As they did, he dismounted, and grabbed Orack, dragging him to a nearby hut.

Heimdalsgate waited for three hours while Rigg and Orack were inside the hut. During this time, the rest of the party spoke with some wounded elves who came into town. Pan Oros was able to speak with one who talked of some of the motives involved in the struggle between the humans of Kandor and the wild elves of the Kharadin Woods. The wild elf said it was simply an issue of trees and land. The humans wanted the trees but the wild elves wanted them to stay the ground. It had escalated from there to raids on lumber camps, assassinations of mayors, and desires of genocide.

Wherein the Party Nonchalantly Kills Loyal Soldiers of Kandor

Soldiers of Kandor demand the surrender of both the wild elf guide and Illia. The party denies the request and slays the soliders.

The Arcane Focus of Control

After traveling all the way from Anvilrock, the party finally reaches its destination, the Arcane Focus of Control.
