Notes:

Picking up after the burning of the dolls and mask, the party heads to the local item shop and runs into Eevor an architectural scholar from Illmar. The party finds out that a university in Illmar has been buying up all the old books and scrolls in the area (much to Grigor’s digust). Heading into the item shop the party procures an old scroll case that is mechanically locked. Fyn is able to disable the device, and they find 4 readable scraps of paper (see the Mooncrest Scroll Scraps).

The party rides out (it having finally stopped raining) the next day, and travel east on the road. They reach an intersection on the second day of riding where the road branches off to the north. At this intersection is a small troop of guards who inform the party that they cannot pass north as there is plague in Caer Wynnic. The party continues east. More of the shepherd communities line the road occasionally, and it is two more days before they reach Suncrest.

Entering Suncrest in the early evening, they have 3 options of inns: the Sheep’s Rest, the Nightingale, and the Dwarf’s Pillow. The party chooses the dwarf’s pillow, and turn their horses over to Gragnar, the dwarf on the porch. Heading in they meet Harv, the proprietor, an elderly dwarf. Bajol and Feydor remain in the inn and strike up a conversation with Harv (befriending him), and Fyn, Frumious, and Grigor explore the city before turning in.

In their conversation with Harv, Bajol and Feydor learn that the capital of Dalus Marque is Mountshadow, north of Waymeet. Dalus Keep is not actually in Mountshadow, but is higher up in the mountains. Harv tells them to talk to a dwarf in waymeet named Marcus.

The next morning the party heads out into the city. First they visit the Suncrest Cathedral and meet with Bishop Vornic.  Then Grigor finds out there is a library and eagerly goes to investigate. He is a little disappointed as the library is a new concept and only has about 30 books. None the less he pours over all of them, chatting with the librarian as he does so. Several of the books seem to have little value and are the ravings of madmen (seemingly). Two in particular catch his eye – the Anatomy of Cats by Boros, and On the Nature of the Universe by Hugh. The librarian agrees that they have little value, but felt compelled to collect them, almost against his will. Grigor consults with Kyros about this and Kyros lets drop that there are world enchantments, and this may be one of them.

The Party heads back to the Dwarf’s Pillow and has dinner in the dining room with a few other guests. One seems like an adventurer and Grigor introduces the party. Instead of engaging the “adventurer” excuses himself and exits the inn. About 30 minutes later there is a banging on the front door, and a voice says, “Open up! We’re here to make our reputations.” End Session
