Template:Rise of the Runelords chapter

The next morning I was in a better mood, but I was worse physically. Luckily doctor Habe was very skilled and after him spending some time taking care of me I felt better in the afternoon. Velicia and Dorothea also got better and Nathaniel arranged for a wagon to be borrowed tomorrow.

The next day we returned to the Foxglove manor and got the rest of all the things we wanted to keep or sell.

As soon as we were back in Sandpoint I questioned everyone I could think of about the Foxglove family, but not many knew much about them. Us. At least I found out that the Foxglove manor is 80 years old while Sandpointe is just 40 years old. The debacle of the burnt down servants quarters and deaths of my parents happened 20 years ago.

A couple of days later we had made all necessary preparations. I had asked Velicia to make a few magical items, which she did. On the morning I had a big packed lunch prepared and we set of on our journey to Magnimar, city of monuments. The weather was better than when we went to the Foxglove manor and Creampuff carried me with ease, but all in all the trip was long and uneventful.

Reaching the city Honeypot used her new hat of disguise too look like an ordinary peasant girl. I tried to look as inconspicuous as I could. After we passed through the gate into the city Honeypot said that the city guards at the gate looked strangely at us. Not at all in any way she had expected.

Magnimar is full of old monuments.

The others fell for the false face Magnimar presents to visitors. They were impressed by the old statues and richly decorated facades of the houses. The poor people and the homeless are hidden at first glance. As the others said "Ohh, Ahh..." I just muttered. I wasn't pleased to be back in the city that had given me so many bad memories.

As we didn't know where the Foxglove townhouse was and Magnimar is a big city and nothing like the small village that Sandpoint is, the others agreed that we should get rooms at an inn. I wanted it to put on a disguise. Dorothea said
"If you cling on Nathaniel no one will notice you."
"It's not to blend in. It's to avoid being recognized."

We wanted to get rid of the remains of the pirate Shadz "Rodshaw" Bilgar so we went to the city administration first. I wished that we wouldn't run into that evil elf Ironbriar. The wanted note had said that he would provide the reward, but I hoped not personally. As we entered, the ones working there looked at us strangely. I kept to the back, trying to look inconspicuous. Nathaniel requested the reward and presented the evidence of his demise. While the man worked Nathaniel asked him why he had given us such a strange look when we arrived. He answered that Ironbriar had asked the city guards to look for us in regard to the murders. We asked what murders and he explained that there had been several murders in both Sandpoint and Magnimar and we had been at both places. We told him that we solved the murders in Sandpoint and just arrived in Magnimar and therefor couldn't have been behind the murders. We also added that the sheriff of Sandpoint could confirm our story. We got the reward and now knew that the city guards might be looking for us.

When we left Velicia took out the awful mask that Aldern had had. She put it on changing her appearance to that of a poor woman. I sneaked ahead to change our number if they knew how many we were. We went to the better parts of the city and asked around for the Foxglove house. We were told it was in the Grand Arch district. That's the "old money"-part of town. We headed over there and at last we found it.
