[Now dear reader, it seemed that many of the people that I have been writing about recently were beginning to congregate on my new home - Yag Island. New faces such as Sparkledingle, Griffolk and Fangornio, my friends and family, Lavinia, Sylvia, Jiggles and Irritator, and new arrivals of old faces like Fenrir, Reinward and Giselle. The place was getting quite crowded!]

DAY 595 (19th Marpenoth) (October) cont ...

Fenrir set himself up in the inn with a nice room for him and Giselle.

Veddic teleported in too today. I think he had been kicked out of Westgate or something. It was more important for him to stick with Fenrir apparently. He wasn't the "stay at the temple" type of cleric of Kossuth or something, but anyway, he was now also on the scene. Always handy to have a backup cleric and it did mean that Sylvia could leave when she was ready. She wanted to stay for a while longer
though, until Lavinia had the baby. Note also that Corhim, Griff and Fang had promised to bring a cleric back from Sasserine, but in all the kerfuffle they forgot - which annoyed Sylvia a little.

Reinward got a room too, and Fang followed them down and despite the business with Gyles and his daughter last time he was there, he managed to get a room too.

DAY 596 (20th Marpenoth) (October)

The Blue Nixie had arrived back from Sasserine not so long ago and the supplies were still being unloaded. Fenrir went to help for a while, as did Fang.

This was all part of my wife's plan to turn the "Yag Barrow" into a colony. This was a good idea for two reasons, the first was that there would be more people to protect the place, and the second was that it would give the reason for why we were there. The Vanderborens were known for their colonies, like
Farshore, and Yag Barrow would just be another one. Any rumours about what was inside the barrow could be put down as false stories spread by suspicious pirates.

I suppose eventually some of the big regional players would take an interest, but my wife and I hoped that by then we would be well established and able to make them aware that the place was ours and well defended.

Reinward didn't help with the loading, and neither did Corhim. Young Sparkledingle took himself to Harmony to buy some magical ink. He then spent the day studying spells. He also told Felia (his cousin who had set up a shop at Yag Barrow) all about Harmony. She came with him later to buy things for her shop, including Red Rock Candy and other things that could not be found back in Faerune.

It's not very thrilling but for the record this is what came off the Blue Nixie.

I should have really been there to sort out the animals. As it was, the pigs ran amok, half the chickens flew off and several of the donkeys wandered into the jungle. There are no predators on our tiny island so the should be ok, unless one of the people from the village find them in which case fair play to them if we can't control our livestock.
