Chapter 14

A passage from Rutger's Journal

 * We slept throught the night without incident, and proceeded to break the fast.  Ravel seemed to want to take his morning tea with him - but we would need to return with it and that seems like a troublesome endevour.
 * [*Bob - with mead - more multiple personality fun]


 * Ravel and Iggy discussed the finer points of saluting, a conversation I could have lived without.  An officer of the imperial army I presumed delivered a note to Iggy.  A summons from the govenor I believe.  Ravel nipped off to Theans the baker and met us at the govenors palace - the dark haired elven woman we met yesterday left the palace in some form of hurry Stebbins met us at the door and led straight up to see the govenor.  Iggy prostated himself like a lapdog before the govenor - something that the govenor liked it would seem.  The govenor subesquently explained that there is an elf within this provence that is probalby involved with this cult.  In the forest to the north west.  The govenor dismissed us with an imperial wave.  Stebbins tells us that Angrad is the elven hermit that they want "dealt" with.  He marked a position of Angrad on the north west of a map, and a small time later we were delivered the 500GP we were promised.


 * We head out of town to discuss the situation that we find ourselves, a highly unusual situation one - we ruminate for a few minutes and decide to see if we can find this Angrad.  We head up into the foothills and find some shrubbery and a boar.  Iggy sneaks on ahead and finds a spiral staircase heading upto a hut in a tree, where we meet Angrad and go up into his tree hut and analyse the situation.  Clearly he is a simple hermit, no cult leader here.  Heading back we ran into an orc raiding party with archers and ogre but dispatched them with relative ease.  The ogre Balmoth was unsurprisingly the ring leader - and had a scroll from the govenor to kill us - clearly the govenor is involved in the cult.  He has become a target for my vengance the remaining orcs lead us to the rendevous for their raiding party we find an old barn where someone is waiting for them.  It was Stebbins.  We interrogate him and found out that the elven advisor Isolde has the blood spear and that the govenor was trying to get rid of us to make it look that Dubov lost the spear.  Isolde convinced the Govenor to hide the spear and then find it later.  She was heading to the East where her people were located.
