Not too later. the main party arrive (absent 1 member) back in Phandalin, greeted by Tremen who is surprised to see them so soon, as the trip to Neverwinter is a good few days there and back.

The party assemble for a catch up on the events that each group has faced, at the inn. Information is exchanged with all the party, minus one, which nobody seems to register. Tremen surmarises the information he & Tarqual have gathered.

  • Thundertree is located west of Neverwinter Wood, North of the river that runs within the woods down through the town of Neverwinter.
  • Owl Well is located on the eastern side of Neverwinter Woods.
  • The Banshee mentioned by sister Garaele, is somewhere north east of Phadalin.

Tremen seems to be the only one to offer options for the party consideration. The main one being we explore up the Triboar trail, whilst the rest of the party sit quietly pondering, Tremen is approached by Qelline, who offers the use an ox & cart, then informs Tremen that a quiet word has been had with Carp whom as agreed to give up his horde of looted treasures from the cave, which will be passed onto the party. Tremen thanks him & leaves the inn to check the provisions & loaded cart, before retiring for the evening.
Tarqual slips out for an evening walk, heading towards the shrine of luck before retiring himself. Tharbin & Crom settle down at the bar, and partake in a FEW beverages. The rest of the party (minus 1) eventually retire for the evening.

The following morning members of the party go about preparing for our departure. Some items are purchased By Bluebell from the local herbalist.

The Triboar Trail

We travel north out of Phandalin towards the Triboar trail before turning eastward up the trail. We travel for a good few hours before Fiorana, who was scouting ahead, signals back to the party that she has found a suitable stop for lunch. The party stop and consume lunch & Tarqual enlightens the party to his last chat with Sister Garaele, she needed an intermediary to deliver a suitable gift – before handing me a jewelled silver comb & then went on to say she was originally tasked by her superiors to get information from the banshee about a spell book that belonged to a legendary mage named Bowgentle & its location. She had underestimated Agatha's wraith and fled for her life. She believes that anybody who pays obeisance to her might be able trade the comb for an answer, but warns me that we may only ask one question of the banshee, so to choose carefully. She offered 3 potions of healing as payment, which are distributed to the party.

After lunch we set off again, continuing up the trail for a few more hours before stopping at a suitable campsite as evening light draws in. The party set up watches with Fiorana & Tharbin on first watch, and settle down for a meal and retiring for rest.

A little later during first watch, Fiorana & Tharbin are surprised by the sudden appearance of Silanne, and startled by Silanne's stern warning, put that fire out, there are mobs in the woods as she kicks out the campfire and says goblins, orcs & all manner of other creatures have been seen by her in close proximity to the campsite.

As each member awakens for their watch, they are a little surprised to see Silanne with a black wolf by her side, some of the party glance around to locate Bluebell, before seeing her in human form. When the party is fully alert Silanne asks for an update & informs the group of her observations whilst scouting – she mentions a Tower to the south east of our campsite and indicates a large number of mobs have been seen by her to the north of us in the woods and to the south up in the hills. The party decide to investigate the tower, but will spilt into 2 groups. One group will accompany the cart, whilst the other will approach more stealthy along a different path.
