Reaching Citadel Felbarr
[Eleasias 3rd]
Having camped the night in a gully in the foothills of the Rauvin mountains,
the group awake to spot giant tracks passing close to their camp site. Following
them - as they happened to go in the direction they were travelling, the
group continued on their journey, luckily not actually spotting any giants.
As they came in sight of the Citadel Felbarr - or "the Citadel of Many
Arrows" as the orcs had once called it - they spotted a group of men
rushing out of a mine entrance, followed by long hook armed creatures from
the Underdark. Rushing to their aid, they entered the
fray, managing to help turn the tide of the battle. Afterwards, the
survivors (led by a man named Scest) explained that they were mercenaries,
hired by the dwarves of Citadel Felbarr to help clear some of the mines
and surrounding land whilst the dwarves focused on rebuilding their recently
retaken fortress.
The group entered the fortress and made their way to the only inn - the Orc Skull Inn, where they spoke with a number of the locals. Lucretia, Vaslin started up a conversation with a human mercenary named Haeg, whilst Yvandel attracted a crowd putting on a tale with Volo and Dolo. A dwarf named Sharn is amongst the crowd and lingers to chat with the companions. Sharn suggests that the Unknowns speak to his cousing Harius at Warcrown Hall in the morning to see if they want to sign on to help - the dwarves had plenty of mercenaries - but few spell casting adventurers to assist them.
Citadel Felbarr
[Eleasias 4th]
The next morning, after a night during which most of them experienced vivid
dreams, the group met with Harius
and were offered a job - to go down into the dungeons beneath Warcrown Hall
and destroy a powerful undead there. They visited the local weaponsmith/armourer
(Anthos Harmglade) and the local
dwarven cleric of Moradin (Dvalin Thunderhammer)
who told of his previous encounter with the undead. They spent the rest
of the day preparing, and then vowed to go down the following morning.

[Eleasias 5th]
The next morning the group descended into the dungeons under Warcrown Hall
and encountered an evil presense
which they defeated - but at a cost - Herod died at the hands of the undead
before they could defeat it. The gods must have been looking unfavourably
upon them, as after the battle, Larz fell down
a well and drowned. Drained and weary, they exited from the dungeon
with some dwarven treasure in hand and spoke again with Harius
and Dvalin. Back at the inn, they had an argument with Blondung
who hadn't accompanied them.
Travelling towards Sundabar
[Eleasias 6th]
The next morning, the group left with a trader who had made the mistake
of travelling to Felbarr without booking caravan guards for the return journey.
As they neared a camp spot that evening, they were attacked by orcs.
Having announced to the world their presence (through the use of fireballs)
the group decided to press on further before camping. At the bridge across
the river Rauvin, they were ambushed by four hill
giants, who they just managed to defeat. Luc was unconscious for part
of the battle and had a sort of dream
conversation about a Pain Brnger in Sundabar.
Sundabar [Eleasias
7th]
After an early start, they managed to reach Sundabar late at night, a three
day journey done in two. Exhausted, they said farewell to Redmane
and after asking directions,
took rooms at Baldivers, a sprawling
castle like inn favoured by warriors. Whilst Blondung
tried to be proactive, Milo went out
for a late night stroll and got everyone
worried as he went to try and find out info about the Pain Bringer.
Sundabar [Eleasias
8th]
Milo and Ceely went to visit a Temple of Tyr where they met with Lathkiera
Morlund (the Defender of Justice) and told her about the Pain Bringer.
She went off to investigate, agreeing to meet again with Milo late in the
day. Merrell and Cleo went to track
down a guide for the next stage of their journey. Meanwhile, the others
went shopping, first to Furjar the Flippant,
a magical curio shop, then an armourer (a camp dwarf named Gavin),
then a pair of elven bowyer/fletchers named Truebow
and Windstrider. Later, Milo and Yvandel visited "Old
Granny Smith" to buy some fish, I mean herbs, and in the evening
a group of them went to the Tabard
and Tankard Inn, looking for rumours.
