- Treanol autocracy
- Helagu empire broke into different hosts
- We've got to take 'the girl' to the Bruja
- We go through a stone grove, there's eviscerated bodies everywhere.
- We meet an old guy, question him a bit, he tells us his daughter has moved away (my notes are vague here, something happens, Ruben is unhappy with the guy, something else happens ...) and he goes off. We find out later (?) this is a chap called the Crag, a potentially nasty piece of work, and he is probably very responsible for Ophion's sudden onset illness - it's a curse cast on something of Ophion's the Crag stole from him - maybe a coin?
- We meet some treanol on our travels, they're not pleasant. Atalla isn't pleasant back, Kunoh defends, fighting breaks out briefly.
- Treanol guy we hold for questioning is antagonistic towards Ruben because "the dwarves abandoned them"
- We find out Grand Merchant Colphon of Jyrgal has been entrusted by the Autocrat with building the fortifications.
- They have watchtowers and linked highways, because they're afraid of the Erensari tribes
- No one's seen the Helagu around for months, they don't seem to be any threat, this guy doesn't think anyone's worried about invasions, but rather that they're shoring up defenses to go and cause war over the sea
- This guy tells us they were patrolling for werewolves
- Someone mentions Enteriath; Maybellina says that's another witch queen (Nb: Sili was the first witch queen we heard of)
- Lots of ruins
- We come across evidence of worshippers of Bardi, demigod of sacrifice - not a popular fellow in Faerun for many centuries
- Argos was the last civilisation that actively worshipped Bardi, 500 or so years ago
- Bhaal, god of murder, sort of tied in together
- People tracks, no animal tracks
- the Blood Moon of the Alpha Werewolf ??
- We head to the work site, with Atalla acting as trader, others as bodyguards (?). Ruben disguises himself as not-a-dwarf since dwarves are not welcomed here. Kunoh shadows Ruben to help keep him safe.
- Atalla gets pampered
- Onai (presented as Atalla's companion) gets a bath
- Maybellina and Ophion collect info among the fancy people
- Ephut Ki collects info among the workers
- Kunoh and Ruben talk some but mostly stay in the lodgings trying to avoid suspicion (as Rubens spell will wear off during the night).
- Hyan is around somewhere, probably also bathing.
- We find werewolves started attacking people about a month ago after the Jyacks started being crucified by the Treonol.
- We hear something about the Dark Heart of the Night
- Werewolves are Treanol - but they're not the ones that did the ritual.
- We move on. There's a fight, middle watch, werewolves! We fight, kill them, Kunoh grabs the head of one as he decapitates it, it's a young boy.
