Notes

Sven leader of the Northern Nomad Fellowship, he made come multiple tribes together as a organization. Gideon tries to go speak to him. But the guards seem not keen of him entering his tent. But if we have something to give Sven he might entertain us.

The guards tell us that at The Old Gate there are masked man that ask payment for safe travel. They are not part of the Ember Empire. That puzzles us.

We start traveling north towards Calor on the road to finally travel towards The Old Gate. When we get closer to Calor the nature seems to more alive. Flowers grow, less ice and snow. Up a head on the road are guards checking papers. We deviate into the forest west before we hit the checkpoint.

We setup a camp within the forest. Grumlik pulls out a cag of beer. Gideon suggests to Dr. Byron Dark to make something stronger. distil some of the beer or wine. Dr. Byron Dark suggests he tries to make meed with the alchemy jugs.

While in the camp Grumlik hears a lot of hooves trampling around. Wynling goes scouting and sees a lot of cow like animals.

While we try to rest the herd of animals starts moving again and runs towards us. We try to scare them off. They are fended off, but Dr. Byron Dark getst trampled by one.

At the end of the herd was a wounded creature that has a spear sticking out of it. Dr. Byron Dark takes care of it and it survives a Long Rest. Artos speaks with the beast. It agrees to follow us for now. A group of people attacked it. Wearing animal skins.

We discuss a little if creating a black hole using 2 bags of holding might get us to a better place. Eventually we discuss the portals Gideon used (in downtime). Those portals seem to teleport you to the Crystal Peak. Though you can't go from the Crystal Peak towards the other teleportation circle. Gideon makes suggestions how to create a portal towards the fey wild.

We travel onwards towards The Old Gate. The cloaked figure holds out a collection can and asks for an offer. Arranis pays the coin. This is to enter. To exit the place we don't need to pay.

This place is warm, we see no snow on the mountain. Old Ciarta is close, but no one is living there anymore as it is way to hot. We continue to New Ciarta. It's a small settlement with a small wall around it. Locals are guarding the place. We find a monument that is a memorial. We look for taverns. There are 2.

Gideon buys a whole bottle of red dragons ale. And is promised if he can clear the bottle he gets it for free. He doesn't manage to. Atticus speaks to the inn keeper. He tells us there is a situation with the mine. People started going missing. We can go to the town hall for more information.
We asks also about Tanbarrat. It is a wasteland with undeads.

Distracted as Dr. Byron Dark produces his mead. Dr. Byron Dark also goes for the challenge to drink a whole bottle of Red Dragon Ale.

We finally head to the town hall. Ask about the missing people in the mines. We offer to look into it for 60 GP. They promise to give us 60 GP on result. The foreman has gone missing. He tells us we can't take anything in the mine.
