From UtterChaos
- In morning (19 Blessing Moon), Evathyth scouts and figures out where they are
- 200 miles from El'Ikara; will take 5 days if party really hoofs it
- Midway through day 2 (21 Blessing Moon), party intercepts two kids on horseback fleeing from their village, which is being destroyed
- SIDEQUEST TIME
- Michael, Sventukothar, and Osmul arrive at Kerrickston to see half-eaten corpses in the street, the Brood Keeper battering down the door to town hall
- After a round or so of fighting it opens plates on its back and releases a swarm of winged maggots, gross
- After a great battle, a dozen of the villagers are alive, but another eight or so have been eaten by the maggot swarm, ewwww
- Party escorts the 16 survivors (12 + 2 children + 2 other children) to neighboring Braxton
- Slightly delayed, party hustles with combo wind-walk, flying, and Sil tromping to make up lost time; arrive at El'Ikara mid-morning on day 5 (23 Blessing Moon)
- Evathyth drops them off at inn, tells them to get Endure Elements supplies at the bazaar and get something to eat at the tavern row, he will have the info for them by the morning as to where to go next
- On tavern row, Ellowyn runs into an old friend, Raine, who invites them to a show that night
- Sil spends many golds being bathed, massaged, and otherwise pampered
- Party grabs a couple wands of endure elements, and Osmul gets a lordly pavilion
- At show that evening- pair of dancers all in white, with white silk hangings and ropes leading to the tables around the stage
- Female dancer Ivory is much better, she dances second set alone and runs along the ropes to the tables to dance for even more tips
- At PCs table, Osmul tips her and she undresses even more, then sees Sil and falters
- Music dies as Ivory stares at Sil, then slaps her and runs away
- Sil and Vin attempt to follow, but bouncer says the lady is not working tonight; Vin sneaks by
- Osmul talks his way to the back and makes an apology to Ivory, who is distracted by, um, stuff
- Vin is out all night; Sil is very mad
- Ivory is Ivy, Vin's childhood friend from Aldacre, and seems to blame Sil for The Incident because of her leaving
- In morning (24 Blessing Moon), Evathyth reveals the Plan: travel to desert town of Dahn Gohben to gather more information. 40 miles, about 2 days travel
- Ezel does some scrying, discovers that Team Tamara is not doing so hot: Marcus, Senyo, and Eryyul are captured, Nula probably dead; Aezma alive but acting really strange; some other stransge demon woman involved
- On to Dahn Gohben
- Midway through day 2 of travel, party spots some slavers with captives
- Michael is really bad at haggling, but great at intimidating
- Bandits easily defeated; 5 slaves, one of whom is clearly someone important in disguise, are rescued
- That night Osmul attempts to get Shana to reveal her identity- her lordly pavilion is even nicer than his- but she won't talk
- Dahn Gohben is reached (26 Blessing Moon)
- Shana is immediately surrounded by guards to whisk her off to her father
- Her parting advice is to speak to the dwarves at Bahl Lok, as they know many of the desert's secrets
