Template:Rise of the Runelords chapter
The mayor of Magnimar had need for heroes so we were sent for. It turned out that an outpost called Fort Rannick had been out of contact for some time. The mayor wanted us to go there an see if anything had happened as he was about to send supplies there for the winter. It would be sent by barge along the river, but that way would take to long time so we decided to ride. The mayor told us he would pay us 300 gp for the mission. I thought that it wasn't very much, even less than what Brodert Quink payed us just to come with us to Thistletop that we already had cleared of most of all dangers. I think Xanesha was right in him being really greedy. When Shalelu heard we would leave town she wanted to join us. She was very happy about it too. When she heard we were going to Fort Rannick she definitely wanted to join in.
We left an early morning and rode in sunshine on a beautiful autumn day. The leaves were turning yellow and red, decorating the trees and farmers were working in the fields, harvesting. Soon the harvest festivals would start. I'm really looking forward to those. We rode for several days stopping for the nights at the taverns in the small villages we past along the way. There were some rain but mostly the weather was good. Creampuff seemed to think that now that Shadowmist is far away, he is the new leader of the pack. A palomino replacing the black.
We heard some noise from ahead. It was happy voices and sounds of
celebration. We continued and found a group of fauns having a pick nick
in a clearing next to the road. They made a suggestion.
"Have some wine with us!"
"Drinking with fauns?, I don't think so."
"I don't drink, anyway." I said.
"You don't? But I've seen you drink wine."
"No. You've seen me holding a glass."
"Here, free wine to all of you!"
Honeypot distracted them by suggesting a music competition. One of
the fauns and Honeypot played at the same time and we and the other
fauns were supposed to dance. The one whose music most dance to
win. I never was any good at dancing. I can cling to someone who dance,
but dancing on my own I never learned. Instead I did some somersaults
and flips, but I don't think anyone minded. Honeypot was the winner and
we prepared to leave. The fauns protested and said that we should stay
and celebrate the victory. The others talked in that strange language
draconic that all but me apparently speak. I'm sure that the fauns know
it too, even though they didn't show it. Then Velicia drew her sword
and pointed forward.
"We will continue that way to Fort Rannick. We are brave and powerful adventurers that are going there to save them from any dangers!" and while talking her sword lit up with magic. The fauns seemed impressed. I thought that there might be trouble ahead and put my hair into a plait to keep it out of the way if there would be fighting.
Tryckt stämning. Vi backar till hästarna och rider vidare. Velicia: "De kanske mördar andra oskyldiga. Vi borde vända tillbaka."
We continued on our way until late afternoon when we reached the little village called Pendala. We got rooms at the only inn where Olam Keeche, the owner, made delicious cranberry turtle pies for dinner. Well satisfied we sat on the porch and looked out over the Claybottom lake and the mist over the swamp of Shimmerglen. At the northern end of the lake we could see a barge lit by colored lights slowly making it's way here and there. We asked Olam what it was and he said that it was some barge that entertained visitors. He thought that strange people lived in Turtleback Ferry and they had way to many parties.
In the morning, after breakfast with more pies and a few more brought for lunch, we continued on towards Turtleback Ferry. After a short stop for an early lunch we reached the little town at the northern edge of Claybottom lake. It was set at the mouth of a river and had a small harbor. We took the time to ask around about Fort Rannick. We didn't get much information but that they usually came down about once a week but hadn't for a month or two. They thought that it might be due to the rain. It had been raining every afternoon for a long time now. It's autumn, but it's still a little strange. So far we had had a warm and mostly sunny trip. It had actually been pleasant even though it was outside city walls where I usually prefer to be.
Honeypot asked about places where you could have fun. We got to know
that most party at the Paradise's Doors. It turned out to be the
colorful barge we saw last night from Pendala. Honeypot said
"Let's go there."
"You have to be a member."
"I think I can get in anyway."
"Hey, I recognize you. I saw you in Magnimar."
"You girls should work there." another one added and nodded menande...
Velicia got angry and told him in no soft words that we were to help
Fort Rannick if they were in trouble and we were in no way helpless.
She has become much more domineering lately. She used be more
quite, but nowadays she has a lot more bite.
We got going in the hope of getting to Fort Rannick before dark. A rain started falling and I put on my waxed leather hood. We continued along the river to the bridge, which was still standing and was very old, made completely of black stone with beautiful statues. After crossing the river, we followed in on the other side, next to a big forest. Soon after I heard something from the woods that sounded cute. Velicia thought it sounded like some wounded animal. We were both kind of right.
We went into the woods to investigate and found a bear stuck in a trap. It tried to get away from us, but trap was anchored to the ground by a chain. Honeypot and Velicia tried to calm the bear as I worked the trap. Soon the bear was freed. We heard commotion further into the woods. It was dogs barking and running through the woods. We retreated back to the road and the others, but I hid in the edge of the woods.
