[ Session 08 ] [ Back ] [ Session 10 ]

We turned in the bounties for the orcs and ogre upon return. Following that, we rested, purchased all necessary additional gear, did whatever training we needed to, collected upon our debts with Ohlo. Thus prepared, we went to check out the proclamations board and see where we would thought might fit our talents.

We were escorted by Jeannine to speak with four of the Councillors:

• ulrich eberhard, 1st council man (head honcho), old as dirt,
• captain werner von urslingen, merc, touch but fair
• bishop braccio, high priest of tyr, god of justice
• porphyrys cadorna, nobility, scion of the ancient house cadorna, older high house of ancient phlan

After speaking with them we were given clearance to go to Thorn island as our next task. The next day we set out on our escort ship to the island. We arrived there within an hour and scouted from the edge of the nearly-ruined docks. We decided to scale the walls with the rope of climbing and head in from there.

We were challenged by skeletons as soon as we landed on the top of the wall. We battered them down after a fashion then pressed into a tower. At that same moment we were attacked by reinforcement skeletons. With a good bit of improved coordination and positioning, we were able take down the second wave with fumbling and boo-boos.

We found the skeleton of an elf with a diary right outside the front door, the words in it said: lux shestnik samos.
