Fellowship of the Dice

Aetoron carefully lays out one of the maps they received from Jubilost. Pointing with his finger, "We could head due south and cross the Little Sellen River at Old Ferry Station. From there we can push west until reaching the edges of the southern Narlmarches." Looking at the others, "From there we can enter the forest and start our hunt."

Ylyndar looks at the map and Aetoron's directions. "That could work. It would allow us to bypass the slow travel of the Narlmarshes. According to my scouts, the Drake is located somewhere east or maybe south east of the Troll lair."

"You have me quite convinced," Cal replies. "Let's make plans for an expedition. But you won't mind if I arrange for some boats to meet us at the end of our journey, will you? We can either use them to cross to the island with Candlemere Keep, or simply use them to return to Stagfall via water."

Aetoron smiles and looks up from the map, "And that Cal, is why you lead us. I would have ventured out, completely neglecting a means of passage to the tower's island until looking upon it from the waters shore."

Its settled then. You will venture south to the old crossing mentioned on Jublilost's map, and search for the Drake there, making your way west until you either find it or run out of energy. Cal arranges to have two row boats brought down the lakes and left on the shores for you to find and use later on to get to the Isle of Candlemere, and to row home in.

So you ready your supplies, pick up last minute items, and are packed and ready by morning. It feels good to be heading out again into the wilds, and as the cool air blows off the lake you look back at Stagfall and its rising castle, and towering cathedral and marvel at what you've built out of nothing.

You just hope it looks the same when you return home....
