Morning

  • Vala Silverton pays Orthanc to watch over her while she prays
    • Orthanc mentioned that his gods speak to him, to provide help and advice on living life and completing tasks

Midday

    • Before investigating, Gomlee has a spirited conversation with Meilu
    • After the conversation he gains an unusual amount of vigor, seeming somehow younger than he was several seconds ago
    • Two goblins ambush Gomlee, he kills them both instantly but is then hit by 4 arrows in rapid succession
  • On his deathbed, Gomlee says “This is my time, I also wanted to go out in battle. I got to behead two more goblins, 1121 and 1122, a good way to go.”
    • Asks that he be buried with his weapons, armor, and pendant of Mielikki, planted under some trees just off the road where he fell
    • He also says that The Party “needs to find the map, the map is important.”
    •  Vala Silverton and Orthanc follow Gomlee’s instructions and bury him with respect and reverence
    • Vala Silverton reports that Gomlee said that Meilu told him he was going to die but that he didn’t believe her
    • Vala Silverton finds and pockets Unknown from Meilu’s saddlebags
  • Persi notices tracks converging away from the trail and moving to the north
  • The Party decides to hide the wagon off the trail to follow the tracks
    • Vala Silverton says that Meilu told her that she would protect the wagon
    • Orthanc feeds Meilu a carrot and they have SERIOUS eye contact
    • ’Rig’asks Meilu about tactics if the wagon is attacked, Meilu responds with a sigh and a large mule kick
    • Orthanc asks Meilu to get the oxen to move the wagon, which seems to happen
    • Orthanc covers the wagon with tree limbs to hide it
  • Persi easily follows the tracks
    • The Party encounters 2 traps and manages to avoid them

Dusk

  • The Party comes upon a large cave opening at the end of the tracks
