The party and the keep troops are offered brandy and some ale to celebrate the victory over the Orc. \u00a0The party is given some barracks and Othello, Bone, and Gubikla are offered Gambrial&#8217;s sleeping quarters. \u00a0Pete and Mightychondria find a quiet room and he cast speak with dead on one of the Orc heads he collected. \u00a0The party rest for 8 hours to recover from the battle and get any spells back. \u00a0When the party awaken it is early evening and find the cook has saved some stew for the party. \u00a0Bone and Othello talk to the lord and find out that he has not seen or heard of the Orc raiding party before they attacked. \u00a0The weather is unusually cold. \u00a0A number of random misty started showing up in Highvail. \u00a0The misty is yellowish in color and moves unnaturally. \u00a0If someone is caught in the mist they hear them scream but physical remains when the misty is gone. \u00a0The person just vanishes. \u00a0The mist only comes at night. \u00a0The party also gets a quick map of the area. \u00a0The Korvel Pass is on the left or east side of the map and shows a lake surrounded by mountains and Highvail is on the other side of the lake and Bridgeport, mineport, Fish Bouren, and a few other villages are around the lake. The party also find out that Gambrial was banished to the keep because of this love of Lady Chastity who was found of his brother instead of him. \u00a0He ask Othello to take a note to her maid servant to pass along to Chastity. \u00a0Pete and Mightychondria ask two more Orc heads some questions. \u00a0Each time the Orc would come to life and right before the spell ended, the head would utter \u201cDeath is Coming\u201d:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">The Orcs are out for conquest and to bring the Ice.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">The Glacier Lord is the one that is bringing the Ice.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">The Orcs were attacking Highvail first.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">The Orcs were then going to target Wyntbridge after Highvail<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">Fireblood is what they call the vial they crush and consume to increase size, become stronger, and meaner.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">They get the Fireblood from the Priest.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">The Priest are in the Temple of Shadow. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">The leaders are at the Citadel of Frost.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">Frost Giants guard the Citadel of Frost<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">A group of gnolls are heading to Wyntbridge. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">The Orcs are ordered to kill the Sheriff\u2019s party in revenge.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">The party waits till morning due to the warning of the mist showing up at night. \u00a0Fedwig and Litia bring some of the troops back to the Manner with the help of Hamish. While the party was resting till morning Othello finds a secret door in the Gambrial&#8217;s chambers and after getting it knocked by Gubikla they find a later on a hook, 150\u2019 of well crafted rope on a hook, and a small vial with a stick in it in a nook. \u00a0This worried Othello and after a little while he decided to secure the rope to the hook and carry the other end down the passageway. \u00a0\u00a0It runs out upon reaching some stairs up. \u00a0Othello uses another rope to continue the process up the stairs and into a small room that he finds another secret door that leads out onto the mountain on the same side as the Manner. \u00a0It is at the edge of a cliff that is about 120\u2019 high. \u00a0There is a pole spike that looks like you could secure the rope. \u00a0At this Othello heads back to the keep. \u00a0At the end he switches out his 100&#8242; of rope with the 150&#8242; rope that was in the passageway.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">At dawn the party gets up and eats some breakfast and then heads out to Highvail. \u00a0The party notices that there are rolling hills circling the center where the lake is. \u00a0About half way to Bridgeport the party comes across a midpoint Inn with a large camp of people packing up and heading toward Highvail. \u00a0After talking to several people we find out that the people that can leave Highvail at night to avoid the mist and the head back in the morning to work and do business. The closer towns and areas are booked up by the richer folks that can afford the prices. \u00a0The party gets to the Bridge gate that crosses the lake and there is a line of people heading back to Highvail and having to pay to cross the bridge. \u00a0Once the party gets to the guards Othello shows them the note he received from Gambrial and they ask him how he knows the lord. \u00a0Othello is shocked that hey have not heard of the heros of the battle of Korvel pass. \u00a0Pete holds up a Orc head to confirm the battle story. \u00a0The guards confire and let the party pass. \u00a0But as no animals are allowed into Highvail Hamish stays in Bridgeport. \u00a0After crossing into Highvail Othello notices the Swan Inn on Broad street. \u00a0The Inn that Gambrial said was a good place to stay. \u00a0The party goes in and are asked if they have a reservation. \u00a0Othello says yes and gives them Gambrial\u2019s name and they look down the list and go yes I see you. \u00a0You still want the suit? \u00a0Othello says yes and we will need several other room for the rest of the party and convinces the \u00a0front desk to put it on lord Gambrials tab. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">COD = Pete &amp; Mightychondria for getting information from the dead Orc. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cloverdung.texasbluelime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Korvel-to-Highvail.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-590\" src=\"http:\/\/cloverdung.texasbluelime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Korvel-to-Highvail-300x231.jpg\" alt=\"korvel-to-highvail\" width=\"300\" height=\"231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cloverdung.texasbluelime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Korvel-to-Highvail-300x231.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cloverdung.texasbluelime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Korvel-to-Highvail.jpg 471w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gubikla &#8211; Gnome: Mage (lvl 9) Pete \u2013 Dragonborn: \u201cReal\u201d Cleric (lvl 8) Tetranac \u2013 Drow: Ranger (lvl 8) Othello \u2013 Gnome: \u00a0Thief (lvl 9) Mightychondria \u2013 Half-Orc: Fighter (lvl 7) Bone \u2013 Human: Fighter (lvl 9) &nbsp; Did Litia seduce Cloverdung?
