Tales of Adventure

Year 1000 After Crowning

March 28th

Arrived at Castallan Keep on March 28th 1000 AC. Part of the party that defeated a group of Kobolds by using their ambush against them.

Use of caltrops in the was a key decision in contributing to the defeat of the kobolds. A feat that amused the patrons of Castallan Keep’s only tavern that they covered her expenses for the week.

March 28th - 35th

Between March 28th 1000 AC and March 35th 1000 AC the tales of ambushing the kobolds has brought some attention to Mira. In addition to having a weeks worth of living expenses comp'ed for her role in the adventure, she finds that her lethal caltrops are a frequent curiosity. Where did she get them? How much did she pay for them? Can I inspect them?

When a stranger asks to purchase them Mira declines. A day later she finds them stolen and in their place are 20 gold pieces. And the stranger is never seen again.

Mira later fashions a necklace of small decorative caltrops as a reminder of her adventure.

April 28th - 35th

Between April 28th 1000 AC and April 35th 1000 AC the weather has warmed more people are congregating in the keep at least temporarily. The stockade of public shaming has been empty but one day Mira notices a man in the stockade with shoulder length hair a curly mustache, and wearing gloves on his hands.

He begs Mira to be merciful and release him. "No one is looking!" he says. He offers that his name is Conrad.

Instead of releasing him Mira goes off and deliberately gets in trouble to join him. Conrad talks the entire time and none of his stories are believable. One does stick out as more unusual than the others. When he talks about traveling to the deserts of Yllarum he expressed disappointment that the sand wasn't the color of the sky.

May 7th

On May 7th 1000 AC(#may-7-1000) [Party 2](#party-0002) comes up with a plan to learn more about the possible whereabouts of [Conrad](#conrad), by using a similar technique that [Olga](#olga) and [Beatrix](#beatrix) used with a trio of bandits a week ago. This time the plan is to stage a birthday party for Stilton (whose birthday was 2 weeks prior) at the tavern, and charge people admission to cover the costs of the food (meat pies prepared by [Beef](#beef)).

Mira successfully invites the bandit known the party as 'Viking Braids' when she is splitting wood, and extends the invitation to her friends as well.

During the birthday celebration the party learns the names of the three bandits: Nyx Lastname (poofy hair), the muscular one with the viking braids is Shieldbasher, and the one with the 'short bob' is named Ellie (which Nyx pronounces "Ewws" which is Ells short for Eloquent Ellie).

Group isolates each of the three bandits so Beatrix can use his ESP spell on them again. Between that and general conversation, the party learns that the three bandits are leaving in the morning to meet up with their gang "the swans" who have a hideout south of the keep that are a couple days away, confirms that Conrad's hair is grows at a fast rate. Everyone in the keep knows Conrad and everyone has some sort of grievance with him. The gang doesn't pay taxes. There are two routes to the headquarters through the mountains or take the river south and then trek up through the hills going North.

The bandits invite the party to join the gang. But the party declines.

Other activities include hair braiding, arm wrestling contests with Shieldbasher, writing people's names on their foreheads with warpaint. As parting favor, Mira gives Shieldbasher a whistle which she intends to use to track the bandits to their hideout. Shieldbasher decides to play the whistle as they walk away from the party which irritates the two others who are carrying stacks of left over meat pies.

May 14th

On May 14th 1000 AC(#may-14-1000) Olga and [Mira](#mira) visit [Grwowth](#grwowth-the-ogre) at his cave and bring him some of [Beef's](#beef) meat pies. After some initial pleasantries Olga says that they are looking for someone who is accused of doing "the bad kind of murder" and then goes onto describe Conrad. Grwowth relays that he knew Conrad as a gold polisher who showed up at his cave and offered to take the ogre's gold coins and return them fully polished (an obvious scam). He thinks Conrad is over due and should be returning with the gold pieces. Grwowth assumed Conrad was living in the keep.

Mira asked about Conrad's appearance, Grwowth says he had a unibrow that would be the envy of any Ogre.

Grwowth is nervous about talking to "the law", no matter how good the meat pies are. Mira explaines that they are mercenaries and this is just a job.

Grwowth asked whether there is a reward for tracking down Conrad and Mira says that there is and it's in meat pies. Grwowth thinks that is odd and even suspects that Conrad's accusers will turn him into meat pies. He says that he only takes gold for jobs and wishes them luck.

Olga plants the idea that Grwowth's missing gold was due to Conrad and not to a miscounting by Grwowth. Mira convinces Grwowth that it is at least a possibility while also telling Grwowth she lives in a cave like him. She was also interested in his furry bear coat.

After leaving the caves the two go hunting for bear, and find a carcass that had been picked over. They see a peryton, a human sized monster with the body of an eagle, the head and antlers of a stag, and the teeth of a wolf. The two decide to back away from the scene. When they are far enough away they see a second one descend from the tree tops, which would have surprised them if they had attacked the other.
