May 2nd

Sorry this is coming so late.  Here is a brief summary on what happened.  The party left Hillstead after securing another horse for Captain Purof from a local blacksmith.  The passage on the road passed without incident, with the party's passes being inspected by the guards at the bridge.  The day was getting long so the party stopped at Della Minera.  The party was feeling like they wanted to do something, so Fafnir participated in slave cage fighting.  Celecor stayed in another inn, away from the party, researching.  The cage fighting resulted in some fixing of the odds on both sides, with the end result being huge winnings for Werkle. 

May 4th

Party exchanged coin for gems (except for Werkle) and Bane/Nick had their spidey sense go off that people were following them.  They started towards Fol Thron, the capital of the South, reaching it towards midday.  Lot of traffic on the roads while making their way to the city.  One of the horsemen looked familiar to Bane/Nick and was spotted riding towards the capital at a fast speed. 

Celceor made his way to the Mage Guild and Archives, learning of a reward for translating the book.  The people in the archives were disappointed to learn that the book Celecor was translating was myths and half truths, even outlawed stories.  They gave Celecor assistance with his research and he made short work of it, finally finishing the book.  He was given his reward, and he departed to the Mage Guild to get some supplies.

Mean while....

Werkle, Bent, Nick, and Fafnir were making their way to the merchant district, hoping Werkle could exchange his huge mound of wealth into gems.  He was ambushed by very experienced assailants.  The four of them got pretty beat up, but they only made off with a portion of Werkles wealth.  The guards showed up questioning the party.

We ended right about there.  We can pick back up with the guards asking questions and then have the party go to the Inn.  (Because the guards will insist while they investigate the situation).  Bane learned that there is a thief's guild and they run some gambling operations in the mining camps.  They attacked the party because they lost too much money the night before to Werkle.  Bane talked to the guild and through a roundabout way, got the guild off the parties back.

Fun session, hoping for a full house tomorrow.
