There is some mention in Gram's journal of a task that they had to accomlish. One of their members had been accused of murder in Haven, and had been locked up. The group had to find and bring in the actual murderer. They had to return to the twists, and found that the murderer was a nethromancer who had a pact with a horror to try and corrupt the group. The horror (minor horror) and the nethromancer were both killed in the process.

Upon returning to Haven and bringing facts from the head of the nethromancer, the imprizoned group member was set free.

With as much items that the group had aquired through these various trips into Parlainth, the group decided to take everything they had found and sell it in Bartertown where it would go for much more than in Haven.

The group made there way to Bartertown through the northern route.
On the way there, they had to fight a band of Orc Scorchers. They also came upon a great battle scene in which only one survivor was left. To this day, they have gained this extra person as a member of the group.

At this point in the journal, Gram stops to make note of the group and scribbles thier names. Gram's spelling left much to be desired.

Angaren - Elf Warrior          Aliceann - Elf Thief
Cyrix - Windling Windmaster    Caryss - Elf Woodswoman
Esamu - T'schacka Warrior      Winton - Human Troubador
There is one more name, but it has been scribbled out.
It looks as though there was another wizard in the group at one
time.

The journal continues-
Before crossing the Snake, the group happened upon a small village where a Lord ruled the land. The group found out later that this lord, written as Lord Chicanous, had continued his own life through the blood of the people in the village. He had been feeding off the people for years in order to prolong his own life. The group took it upon themselves to destroy the Lord and free the village from his bond.

At this point in the journal, Gram lists some of the itmes that the group has aquired in Parlainth and since they left Haven:

Few pairs of horseshoes (Need to research these).

A few horses, some of war stature.

A large mirror/portal/framework (Research)

The staff of Lord Chicanous (Research)

Some miscellaneous armor and weapons.

Some gold moulding for a chandalier.

A very sharp knife (This item has a line through it.)
There are some other things on the list, but the rest has been smuged and is unreadable.

The journal continues-
Upon reaching Bartertown, the group finds that one of the biggest families is missing its son, who is supposed to become the leader of the family because his father had died. The group happens to find this young boy, who had dirted himself up to look like a regular boy. It turns out that one of the families advisors killed the father and had created a creature that looked exacty like the young boy. His plan had failed when the real boy ran away. The solgiers had been told that the real son was in fact the imposter. The group had to break into the familes fortress in Thera and reveal the imposter and the treatury of the advisor to all.
When the party had completed selling off all the stuff they wanted to, they decided to return to Haven. They still had a deed that they had to complete.
The group took the southern route from Bartertown to Haven, utilizing the rivers. At one point in the Journal, there is mention of a battle with a Nethromancer that ended up with the Nethromancer's capture, but nothing more is said.
