What Happened

Once a watch, assist with refreshing thunderstones for the keel powering

It's been six and a half day, he didn't pick up any food. He has gone through 20 thunderstones and has run out.

Sour says they will lay up at the next stop for some ley circle/keel maintenance. We get fronted "15 empers" each against our pay.

We pull into the Lonely Rest Way Station - an imperial tower with covilla next to it. The town is about an hour away.

The PC's decide to make a treck over. Bill and Lesley come with us. Markee and Durg are going too, not with us though. Along the way we come across three Wardens of Daneth working on a blessing on a field near the road to the village. There is a patch of woods off to one side. There are five large falcons that have lifted off from perches. They seem to be heading towards the Wardens of Daneth.

They were identified by Corvus as Bloodhawks (and they have jesses). As we start taking out the hawks, Hydrazine notices Bill falling over with a dagger in the back and a dark figure standing over him. We dispatch the Bloodhawks and then move and take out the hawk master. Our healers stabilized him and with the help of the Warden's healed Bill.

Searching the hawk master:

• MW Dagger
• Leather Armor
• One Throne (100,000 Empers)

XP for first level

• Bloodhawks - 3000 / 6 = 500
• Hawk Master - 2000 / 6 = 334
• 834 XP (+200 from DM graft bonus) = 1034 Total

notes

Aboard the Far Rider

The Good Captain Eulogy Peremon. Has 'vices'. Wears a lot of clothes because he likes flying high, where the air is rich and slippery. Talks with a weird halting cadence.

First Mate Sarah "Sour' Sarrin. Quite pretty, but as mean as three snakes in a tight sack. Everybody hates her, and for good reason.

Magester: Alchemist Meetrow Vin. Being a drunk as an alchemist takes EFFORT. Between binges keeps the mage circle operating and has screaming matches with the other crew.

11 drovers

Working passage:

The Band of Brothers: Six worshippers of Corellon, three of them actually brothers who are in a very bad drum circle. The other three are either groupies or girlfriends.

Meseven Kurrl  : A priest of Teb, he's not very talkative. That's because he's really a priest of Kareena who's hilariously bad at hiding it.

Durg and Marquee: A dwarven manasmith and her human husband. Substantial adventuring sorts, but not disposed to coddle a group of lowbies.

Leslie Smivven: Very pretty young girl traveling with her never-seen mentor. Wears baggy clothing of oddly rich make and carries a little lantern everywhere. Eccentric!

The Cannibal Coven: A circle of six Grimlander Bloodregents. Seriously high level and utterly terrifying.

'Bill': A tengu, probably. Wears lots of black clothing over glossy black feathers. A friendly sort, he avoids the captain, Leslie, and the Coven with single-minded devotion.

Fergus Halmanter: Huge guy in heavy, shabby, clothing. His whole face is replaced with a MASSIVE stone splice, and he moves like he has palsy. Avoid!

Five Guys and an Elf: Another adventuring group. Low level, ambitious, and hungry.

The Passenger: In the main hold is a luxury landau with curtains over the windows. Leslie Smivven sleeps in there, with her'mentor'. Nobody else has ever come out or in, but the lights shine and the landau sometimes rocks as if someone is moving around. The Good Captain Peremon goes down there every few days and begs another advance to buy more thunderstones. He even buys some thunderstones with the money, usually.
