Notes:

Bajol charges Sevarius and his group, which are 6 Inquisitors, 4 archers, and 10 elite guardsmen.  A battle ensues. Fyn and Frumious’ horses are slain and the Knights quickly decide that they are over matched. Fyn summons 5 dire bats with his cloak, which he and Frumious ride away while Bajol and Feydor break free of the melee and flee. Since most of the Chovalians had dismounted to fight and a spell of Frumious’ had slain many of their horses, they were not quick to pursue.

The Knights flee and ride all night long. In the morning they send Brutus and Zephyr off to leave a false trail and head south. After a few hours they pull over into a tall wheat field and camp up (dismissing Zephyr and summoning Brutus). Fyn takes a watch, and later in the day sees a messenger riding hard along the road. Fyn kills him and takes his horse back to camp. They find an APB in the messenger’s bag with their descriptions. They continue to camp in the wheat.

The farmer who tends the field comes upon them (investigating the big flat patch of wheat). The farmer lets them know that no everyone has bought into the propaganda of the Empire, and tells them to head due west into the mountains. Apparently the hill and mountain communities are only loosely under Imperial control, and may be able to help the party across the mountains. They rest in the field for a total of 2 days and begin traveling west at sunset on the second evening.

They travel through the Empire, heading west, for a week and a half (7 days), resting in crops during the day and traveling at night. They see that the Empire is largely empty, presumably due to the war effort. In the late afternoon of the seventh day they come upon a small village in the foot hills, right where the actual mountains begin. A man named Brek directs them to the village inn, which is run by a woman named Millie. In there they look for and find an old story teller, and ask him if there is any way through the mountains. He tells them about an old mine that runs underneath but that it is filled with horrible things such as the walking dead and creatures in large metal shoes.  The entrance is behind a local waterfall. (The party doesn’t ask but the village is named Fallsong if it is needed in future reference) End Session
