1st Day of Rainmoot
Ragul-Nur: "I'll sit here then as there are none to many seats elsewhere, I just want to kill some Orcs, 4 days I've been here and not a whisper about what's happening down south".
The High Elf, looked the Dwarf up and down and nodded, pushing the chair out from the table with his leg.
Niall Tharival: "I'm Niall Tharival and like you I hunt Orc. Have you heard anything about the Screaming Skull Orc Tribe?"
The Dwarf shook his head.
Ragul-Nur: "Mine is Ragul-Nur, headed here as soon as I heard word about Murann falling to an Orc horde that came out of the Wealdath".
Tharival: "I have been tracking the Screaming Skull Tribe since, they, since they..........well I've been tracking them awhile. Lost the trail north of the mountains, eastern Small Teeth. Decided to head from town to town to pick up news. Ended here when I heard the news about Murann".
Ragul-Nur: "Perhaps these Screaming Skulls joined the horde and where in on the attack on Murann?"
They settled down for a few drinks trying to listen in and hopefully pick up news from the chatter on the other tables. The Guard District was full of mercenaries. All hoping to make a quick fortune. All that was known for sure was an Orc Horde had gathered in the Wealdath, marched on Murann and captured the city. The city of Velen was now cut off from the trade road west and it's only link with the outside world was by Sea.
As they drank they noticed a youth had entered the tavern and a few eyes were turned toward him. The youth was uncomfortable and seeing an empty space at Ragul-Nur and Tharival's table he hurriedly sat down.
Youth: "May I buy you both a drink?"
They both answered yes, and questioned the motive behind the drink so easily bought.
Eafan: "My name is Eafan and I seek escort to the city of Trademeet, to the south of Imnescar.
Tharival: "You'll cover expenses and food?"
Eafan thought awhile before answering.
Eafan: "Why yes, of course, I'll cover travel expenses but only pay for modest accommodation when needed, nothing outlandish, extravagant."
Ragul-Nur: "That would be kind of you, and we only have to escort you to Trademeet?"
Eafan: "Yes, Trademeet."
Tharival: "Then we are your escorts, now when and where shall we meet?"
Eafan: "The Meirtyn Gate, sunrise tomorrow. The weather is said to be hot, make sure you have plenty of water, which is free enough in the city wells".
Eafan bade his farewells. Many eyes followed him out the door!
2nd Day of Rainmoot
When they approached the gate, Ragul-Nur and Niall noticed a stranger standing with Eafan.
Eafan: "This is my brother Dromos Ethrane, he will accompany us to Trademeet".
Ragul-Nur and Niall looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. Just as easy to escort 2 as it was to escort 1 they thought. To beat it all, they were paying!
The day ended uneventful.
3rd Day of Rainmoot
Niall did some hunting and managed to bring down a stork. It was good eating that night.
4th Day of Rainmoot
They arrived in Crimmor at Dusk. They stopped in a modest inn called the Caravaners Rest.
An uneventful night.
5th Day of Rainmoot
They left their departure until late and decided to replenish the little supplies they had expended to get here.
It was only a 3 hour walk to Purskul, they arrived shortly before dusk. They stopped in a modest inn called the Weary Traveller.
6th Day of Rainmoot
It was obvious that the main influence in the town was the half-Orcs and very small % of True Orcs tat resided in Purskul. Ragul-Nur and Niall Tharival, although tempted, knew the penalties for the transgressions they were feeling.
7th Day of Rainmoot
They departed early. Heading away south before the sun was risen over the battlements. It looked like a sizable mercenary force, mainly Half-Orcs was building up in Purskul.
Niall went hunting again. Ragul-Nur went with him and was just about to give him the benefit of a Guidance Cantrip when a snake bit him in the long grass. He shouted out and put Tharival off his aim. The arrow sailed into the distance. Lost! It took Niall Tharival 3 more attempts before he brought down enough fresh game to feed them that day.
8th Day of Rainmoot
3 More arrows Niall used hunting this day.
8th Day of Rainmoot
Today Ragul-Nur decided to show the High Elf how it was done, 1 arrow and the young deer was brought down.
Ragul-Nur: "That's how you do it my friend, just like that!
Niall: "Huh! Beginners luck".
They arrived in Imnescar after dusk and where given directions to the Secluded Valley Inn.

Niall Tharival: Minus 7 arrows
