Diary

1st Meadow
We all sat in the Guild meeting room waiting. I recognised a couple of faces in the room. There was Lunie Minerva, Caladonian Angus, who I insist is one of the reasons we’re here. There was also Mort who was on his first adventure when I saw him last and Kaeso who I spent last season with aswell. There were also two other people who were soon introduced as Sylvester a budding water mage and Eskel a Rune mage who doesn’t want to be called a Rune mage.

And this point guild security came in with a wooden crate and a message from Harold The Unfathomable. Mr Grumpy had a problem with his back passage and wants it dealt with and the Adlandias want 40 yards of McCloud Tartan. [Jaycey is certain she knows why, I'm not admitting anything til I see the evidence - A]. Within the crate was 42 waters of healing, 6 each and 7 amulets with little goblin faces on them. Deciding that finding 40 yards of Tartan might be the hardest portion of our quest Minerva suggested that we go and talk to her uncle for some help with finding it or someone who might have some. While doing that we went and visited Aaron for some greaters. Minerva’s uncle clued us into the fact that Jack Orc was out in the harbour and we arranged with him to get on board one of their ships in the morning and go out and meet Jack. Then we retired for the day.

2nd-3rd Meadow
At munchies we were woken up to go out to the boat to meet Jack. Some of the party spent some time purifying on the boat and Angus divinated the amulets. Apparently they protect from falling with the side effect of Naxious Vapour when we hit the ground. A standard goblin joke. About 4 hours into the ride on the Sunbeam through dense fog, we sounded a horn and got a reply and the boat started moving again under someone else’s power. A couple minutes later a ship appeared from the fog, it was the August. Angus explained our situation to Jack and asked for passage to Caladonia before we headed to Sandspit. Jack agreed to help us as we we’re working for Harold as long as we informed Harold and the Deep one of this favour. And so we headed of sending the Sunbeam back to harbour.

We spent the days proceeding doing some light combat training between the hand and a halfs and daggers. Until the night of the 3rd when we were told to hold on tight on the deck. We spread ourselves out over the deck and I proceeded to tie myself to a mast. With this Kaeso sees rocks in the distance that the sailors don’t seem all to concerned about and continue to sail towards. The dwarf at the helm yelled something about lift and the August and the water surrounding started to rise higher than the sea level to accommodate for the rocks. When the August got closer a glowing ring appeared to form a full circle with the rocks at its base and some of us more experienced adventures knew what we were looking at and started to relax a little bit.

As we come through the portal it is very dark. We presume we are in a lake due to the surrounding hills. As we stand there Angus comes to believe that he knows where we are, in lake Dunvegin. We stayed put so that our helmsman was confident that we wouldn’t run into rocks and headed out in the morning. We pulled up into a village and got some curious villagers due to the size of our ship. Angus lead us to a tailor and went in with Minerva to ask for some Tartan, soon learning that all the tartan he had was being held for a noble. If we wanted our Tartan faster we would have to go and deal with bandits out in the hills. [I could have pulled rank but didn't want to have to answer awkward questions, mainly from my father, the Laird - A] We first went to go find first breakfast at a tavern. Minerva went over and talked to the Bartender to get some more information and learnt that they had camp set up about 5 miles west of town, while Eskel went and asked trade routes from the Tailor. The tailor soon brought us wanted posters which I made sure to memorise. Then we went and talked to Jack to make sure he knew where we were.

 “Hopefully this shouldn’t take too long” – Angus 

 “The Tartans going to be the longest bit of this” – Jaycey

 “About 40 yards long to be exact” – Angus 

After about 2 hours of walking making sure we didn’t leave town in the direction we were going. When close enough Minerva put coriscades on all the party apart from me, who stealthed forward invisible enough to study the camp, and report back to the rest of the party

 "Minerva is going to be invisible for some time" - Jaycey

 "Out of sight, out of mind" - Angus

Once planned we went in and murdered the bandits with asparagus and well-timed bolts from Minerva. After we made sure all the bandits were dead and Minerva and Angus made sure the fires from the grenado’s, we sat and looted and had Second Lunch. During this we found a Goat which I promptly named Asparagus and a Dog who got named Onion. Along with a box who belonged to some McCloud. With this we went back to town and I dragged Angus along to buy Sylvester a new Tulwar after he broke his one cause the blacksmith wouldn’t sell me one. During this the rest of the party went and claimed the tartan by handing in the bandit heads to the tailor. Minerva and I then went to the Castle to give the box back. Cause I wasn’t in favour of either hunting him down or waiting the week or two, it would take for him to come back. I got payed in pies and haggis for returning the box and Minerva arranged for any further payment to be sent to Angus at The Guild.

“Your food will make my halfling very happy” – Minerva 

 “I’m not yours, I refuse to be yours, I know where that ends” – Jaycey 

Once that had been resolved we meet Jack and the party back on the boat and finally headed off to Sandspit
