Location: Near and in Takanal

Date: Summer, 1333 Avard

Characters: Este, Halite, Nalani, Galadriel, Isaac, Xydeco

Galadriel and Este were quickly taken and bound by the bandits. Isaac convinced them to head for the docks, while Xydeco worked from within the bandits as one of them, helping as best he could. At the docks, the bandits and their hostages – including two guards – were taken below decks. About halfway down the river, the situation got worse when the bandits were locked below decks with barrels of dangerous arcanogen that could transmute anyone into anything with just a small amount. Luckily, a Guard ship showed up and assisted the team in rescuing their two hostages without arcanogen exposure or loss of life.

While Halite and I were meeting with Mother Tia, the rest of our merry band decided to disguise Este as a girl to head for the docks. Normally this would have been a fine plan, except for what happened next… remember the hand we found in the clearing? Its owner came looking for the female elf who relived him of it during the fight - Galadriel. Somehow, the bandits were abel to come into the city without arousing the guard and found us. Este tried to create some confusion, and in a way, succeeded; he cast fog and in the melee, was captured along with Galadriel - both 'girls', apparently. Isaac spots Zydeco (who was at this point under cover with the bandits) and leaves the 'girls' in his care while Isaac went to locate me and Halite.

We meet up with the bandits again at the docks, and board the Yellow Leaf - a ship bound for Rilan. We pay 10 gold for passage and by late afternoon the second day of the voyage, the groups are in a holding pattern; our party above decks and the enemy party below, in the forward bow of the ship. Zydeco manages to slip above decks and reassure our party that he's on our side and that Este and Galadriel are relatively safe. The bandits don't know that they have Este; they were only looking for revenge on Galadriel for their leader's hand. We devise a plan to start culling the enemy party, using magic to send a couple of them overboard and 'suggesting' that others come above decks to be dealt with. As the ship drops anchor for the evening, a guard ship pulls alongside the Yellow Leaf and boards. We report the situation, keeping Este's identity a secret, and they take over dealing with the bad guys. We discover that there's something very dangerous in the hold below; whatever happens, the crates must NOT be broken in battle, making the standoff between the enemy party and the guards difficult. Eventually, being outnumbered and out-maneuvered, the enemies are apprehended and taken to the guard ship. We manage to get Galadriel and Este (still safely unknown, and also made invisible thanks to Isaac again) back in our party, and we settle for the night at the front of the ship, above decks. The next day, we're on our way, and arrive safely in Rilan. We take rooms at the Blue Tyven Inn (rooms are 10 silver per day and includes meals; we take a suite with 2 rooms and an ante-room with fireplace for 20 silver), and find a message waiting for Este : 'the Count of Autumn Stones is Dead.'
