We recieved rings with the kings symbols on them, and Tollers was knighted
and given a fine looking sword, all seemed well. Then suddenly, Katherine
came running through the crowd as an arrow sliced through the air striking
the king with a killing blow. The party, confused rushed to the kings
aid while others ran to Katherines aid. Priests of Mendelth where
attacking her to no avail. Her wounds would close just as quick as
they were given. The priests made a hasty retreat as the party entered
the combat. Katherine ressurrected the king with her great powers
and all that was found of the assassin was a rope and some dead tower guards.
Things calmed down as the party returned to there inn. Soon after
it was discovered that Sklyla was kidnapped. Having not much time
the party set off after her into the cold winter of Norin.
Along the way the party encountered Schantall and Delvin Prophet, battling Trolls. After victory with the help of Katherine, who again came to the parties aid they continued on, with two new companions. Others followed the party on the trail to find Skye, those such as the gnome Knippers. The party soon found a body in the snow. It was Skye's kidnapper, an elf, his equipment still on him. The party took what they thought would be needed and continued on after Skye.
Eventually the party caught up to the bandit who had Skye as a prisoner. His struggles with her slowed him down. It was dark and foggy but Knipper's attacked the man on sight. A battle began and the party won, scaring the wizard off and finally recovering a nearly dead Sklyla.
Tollers rode off ahead to Tellon Northshire the nearest town, a town of wizardry. It was Skye's only chance in our minds. The rest of us made our way through the bitter cold, until we reached the mage's inn, inside the town. We met up with Spark, who everyone thought was Marr, a rather confusing event. We all took time to warm up inside the inn treating Schantall, who was nearly dead as well as Skye who was frozen solid.
Finding time to rest, Mithramir offered us a place at his parents house, as Tristan and Mithramir left and guard was entering the inn, asking them to reenter and placing everyone under arrest. Some resisted some didn't, in the end we all ended up in prison, except Jaden. We were charged with attempted murder and harbouring a criminal, who was Sklyla it seemed. It was the mage who had kidnapped her, pressing the charges and he managed to do a good job of it, though I was certain it wouldn't stand up in court.
Our hearing came around eventually, some were charged of illegal spellcasting, others of theft and one of attempted murder. Schantell and Kotetsu recieved lashes at the hands of the guards, while an elf lost his hand, and Knipper hung from his neck, to death. The rest were sentenced to a duty for the town.
The party was permitted to rest a week, where we all practiced and healed up our bodies. We were then given the quest to bring the Black Sun to justice. A task which could prove to be most difficult. Under the will of a Quest spell the party spent the night drinking and sleeping before they set off again.
