Weekly Faalor Game (Aug 6th)

The party set off through the Fenmark Forest, where they encountered an old man. The old man appeared to know quite a bit about what was going on and claimed to own the forest.

As the party headed off, they ran into a guardsman from Hamog, named Kradon, who claimed to remember Faalor the way it used to be. He claimed to be part of a group out looking for the party and was assigned to watch the eastern end of the Fenmark while other larger groups headed for Gundar and south of Duath. He wanted to join the party because he had no other choice: either go back with his unit and face the probability that he'd be found out and killed or go on the run. The party reluctantly agreed to take him along. As darkness fell, the party found a spot to rest in a small forest. It soon became apparent that they were not alone as Wood Orcs and Faewood elves began a mindless attack on the group. Quickly the party fled and ran through the night with elves harassing them.

When morning finally came, the party made it's way through a nameless village west of the main road. Here an angry crowd was in the process of burning a "witch". Quickly the party acted to save the girl. Rowan cast a fear spell which scattered the crowd, while the "Gnome" turned into a white dragon and blew out the flames. The girl, who turned out to be Vistani, was scooped up and the party made a run for it.

Luckily there was a gypsy camp nearby. There the leader of the tribe, none other than Madam Thaloshi, gave the party some insights into the nature of the Mists and what they could do to possibly return Faalor to it's normal state. At that time, Madam Thaloshi gave each of the party members a personal reading, giving each some insights into why they were there and what may lie ahead. With a quick nod, the party set off for Duath.

That night, the lights of Duath glowed in the distance, the old man appeared briefly and looked as if he was trying to cast some spell. Fortunately (or not) the spell did not work and he disappeared.
