Detective Work

Having defeated the Ulfen raiders, the party set off the next morning in their captured ship, the Aril’s Hammer. After some debate with Sandru and Koya, they’d convinced them to let Amieko join them on the boat, so they could make sure she was protected.

The Fury of the Northmen

The party was nearing Kalsgard, and had reached the Thundering River. A freezing fog rose from the river as the sun set, and party wasn’t surprised to see the blood-feather raven that had been dogging their path watching them from the far end of the old stone bridge where they had made camp. The fog only intensified with nightfall, and the party prepared to endure a cold and damp night’s sleep. But suddenly, they heard a sound from downriver – the muffled thump of oars in oarlocks. Alert for danger, the party fanned out, some heading out onto the bridge while others headed for the western side of the bridge. A slight breeze parted the mists for a moment, and those on the bridge saw a dark shape materialize out of the fog. There was a crunch of wood scraping on gravel as the longship beached on the riverbank, followed by the sounds of splashing feet, and the war-cries and battle songs of dozens of Ulfen warriors, who came pouring out of the ship!

Ill Omens

Having defeated an ambush of moss trolls in the Grungir Forest, the party paused to catch their breath. Wondering if the trolls might have a lair nearby, they sent Spivey flying off into the forest to make a quick survey. She returned about half an hour later, reporting that she might have found something.
