Timeline 2437

• Sun Time (Aug) 22 – Day 4
  • Travel
    Thunder Storms start rolling through during the night
• Sun Time (Aug) 23 – Day 5
  • This was a very wet day with high winds. Team decides to spend it in Verd.
• Sun Time (Aug) 24 – Day 6
  • Thunder Storms give way to just rain. Team decides to resume travel. Travel is slow and it takes until 9:00 PM to travel the 35 miles from Keld (pop. 800) to Combe (pop. 1200). They are now about 310 miles from Helm's Deep and a day and a half from edge of swamp.
• Sun Time (Aug) 25 – Day 1
  • Through intermittent Showers team travels the 40 miles from Combe (pop. 1200 to Fallhold (pop. 2200). Made better time and arrived in late afternoon.
  • Fallhold has
    • 1 large tavern/Inn (The Glad Rogue).
    • It had 2 but the team sees the recently Burned down shell of what had been the Second Large Tavern/Inn.
    • There are two or more small Inns.
    • There are about 4 or so small bars and/or taerns.
  • The team choses the Large Inn/Tavern
    • The team checked into the Glad Rogue. Each of them got a separate room.
    • Most of the team headed down to the Tavern to get supper and/or drinks. The Place was Packed close to overflowing. It was a diverse crowd.
    • Nia decided to practice her trade and cased the crowd for the most profitable marks. While the rest ate/drank she began her pickpocketing run. She expertly relieved the 3 of their money pouches. Even those watching trying to catch here doing it, did not. Her moving around the tavern did garner the attention of a dangerous looking mage (Trouble Mage). He continued to watch Nia as she pickpocketed the three next targets. And no-one caught her in the act Chalker did notice that the Trouble Mage was watching her. When she left heading to her room Chalker saw him about to cast a spell on Nia, so he distracted him, which prevented him from casting the spell.
    • The rest of the night passed uneventfully.
• Sun Time (Aug) 26 – Day 2
  • The rain has passed. The team takes their time traveling the 20 miles to the small village of Swish (pop 150), which was about 3 hours (9 miles) from the edge of the Swamp where Ty had left hidden flat boats.
  • The village had 1 small inn which was more like a large house. It was a 5 room inn with a large common Room for use to sleep.

    • Chalker and Dain took 1 room
    • Ty took 1 room
    • Nia took 1 room
    • intrinsius took 1 room
    • 1 room was in use by two other people which the team did not see.
• Sun Time (Aug) 27 – Day 3 (Day 29 in Eastern Realm)
  • @ 2:00 AM
  • Syas and Noba were awakened by to People Sneaking Through the common room. Sylas recognized one of them as Trouble Mage. The other one was about 5 ft. tall and carrying people cather gear.
  • Once they had passed Sylas stood, nocked an arrow and released the arrow at the back of the Trouble Mage.
  • The arrow diverted to the Short Man and killed bim, but he screamed first. This woke up all of the Team.
  • Sylas drew his sword and closed with the Trouble Mage (TM). The Rest of the team rushed out.
  • Sylas sliced the TM, who tried to use his fancy dagger to parry Sylas's next blow. The Parry failed. Next Sylas cut off TM's right hand.
  • The rest of the Team dispersed as follows:
    • Dain took up a guard position for Chalker as Chalker rushed over to check out the TM whom Sylas had just put on the floor
    • Nia rushed to external door with Intrinsius close behind.
  • Sylas and Noba also headed to the Door.
  • All those at the door see 3 animals about 20 yards away; small horse, large horse, and a modified Word (this was masked and Silas barely saw it. He sent Noba to check it out.
  • Intrinsius ran to the animale and Mounted the Large Horce. The unarmored Intrinsius had a longsword in one had and large fireball in the other.
  • Chalked determined that the TM was really a demon and killed it.
  • Ty found nothing out back.
  • Once Noba had determined that it was a Worg, Sylas Closed and attacked it giving it a major wound. Intrinsius using the now massive fireball hit the Work and finished the kill, mostly incinerating the Worg.

    • 1 individual (rider of Worg) Escaped.
  • A lot of the evidence point to there being TWO separate forces involved in what had happened.
  • The fancy dagger garnered a lot of the Teams attention. It did not really seem to be magical. Due to the way
