Quixotic Dragonlance #7

 

A shorter, transition session found the party finally deciding to head out from Long Ridge, sicking out the relative urbanity of Haven, where Amity and Crowsfoot hail from both, and where they hope to find further information on the history of the ancient peoples they have uncovered. Rhona and Elka are convinced to leave town with them, with Rhona leaving most of her riches for the town of Long Ridge to defend itself with. 

Along the way, they stop in the town of Trellmont, looking to stay at an inn which some of their members had stayed at previously, but this time the accommodations are all in use from a merchant caravan passing through the area.

Lunethalas spends some spare gold on the few items of interest the merchant seems most proud of.

Amity eats seriously. Though the party is offered lodgings at the home of a local farmer, she turns it down immediately.

Breadington assists skillfully in the kitchen. He overhears some children imitating someone they call the "Toad Master" and arguing about the details but does not let that distract him from service.

They all of them elect to sleep outside. They find a tree outside of town under which to set up camp. In the middle of the night a drunken local passes by their camp and into one of the fields. 

In the morning it is revealed that this boy has gone missing, and the party consult local wisewoman Marcella about it when directed, who is said to know more. They have little patience for her skepticism of their ability to help, however, and quickly move on towards Haven, following Marcella's lead towards a pair of robed wizards that live in that town and that she would ask if she had the questions they do.
