Summary in Brief:

9 Olarune 998 YK

Kelly Blades is the owner of the Eleven Bells.

The researcher from Morgrave University, Laren Morrus, is still following Coriell around, taking notes.  He even offer to pay Coriell.  Coriell donates all the money to the temple of Arawai.

Kyle is excited about Crystalfall, since today is the 9th of Olarune. He finally has enough copper to go to the fair and watch. He has taken a shine to Coriell, and asks the group to meet him at the fair. He runs off.

Coriell, Rafad and Tombor go to speak with Capt. Johann Ironfounderson about the escaped Emerald Claw soldiers. Daenerys catches up with them, and gives Coriell the note from Nux Two Thuds, asking them to meet him at Shadow on the Marsh at 4:00 for gaeth’ad.

Rafad and Daenerys head over to the Shadow on the Marsh early to get a lay of the land. Coriell and Tombor run into a stoned ex-Capt. Pardesh, whose guilt is starting to get the better of him. Coriell and Tombor take him to an inn and pay for a room, so he can sleep it off.

The group meets with Nux Two Thuds at Shadow on the Marsh. Nux tells them he was impressed with how they treated Vergus, and helped get Vergus’ apprentice body back to Sharn. “He was a good lad; it was a fine funeral.” They enjoy the gaeth’ad (Crane leaving the Lake and Viper in the Bush). Nux wants to see Victor Saint-Demain lose his bet with Coriell, so he gives them a lead on the Shrine of the Blood of Vol in Sharn. Nux knew someone named Durox, a dwarf, who was searching for the same thing. Last Nux heard, Durox was heading down to Lower Dura to meet with a goblin named Skakan at the Troll Market. Durox wanted to ask him about a “Valve Cluster”.

Nux warns the group not to spill goblin blood in Lower Dura, or word would spread very quickly about “murderous pinkfaces”. See Nux’s Warning.

10 Olarune 998 YK

Everyone but Daenerys pays 10 silver to keep a room at the Eleven Bells for another week. Kyle is paid 7 silver for the next week. Who pays Kyle? Coriell?

They check on Pardesh. Innkeeper tells them that he woke up, punched two elves and stumbled off.

Group heads down into Lower Dura. Daenerys takes her own cab. Rafad notices the same goblin girl who had picked Victor Saint-Demain’s pocket on the first day in Sharn. She has been waiting for him. Her name is Gisa. She speaks to him in Goblin, in Thieves’ Cant. She was sent here by someone named Zehra, who sees things. Zehra expected there to be five of them.

The group goes to meet Zehra. On the way, they face down a “Neighborhood Watch” group. An elf and a dwarf appearing out of the shadows seemed to shake them up a bit. Gisa seems impressed with Rafad’s handling of the situation.

They meet with Zehra in an old mansion in Lower Dura. She reads the cards by candle light and discusses their past, present and future. See Zehra’s Reading. After the reading, Zehra leaves the room.

Gisa takes them to the Troll Market, where they meet with Skakan the goblin merchant. Skakan tries to sell them his goods. Oh, and he’s never heard of a dwarf named Durox. “Wanna buy something?”
