Entry #170 - Rollo goes to Wheloon

And there we must leave them for a small while! I know, I know, they are in a dire way, and please, skip ahead if you desire to read more of their adventures, but on these pages I have recorded some of my own adventures. Since they run more or less concurrently with my brother's hopefully this all makes some kind of sense.

At the time I had no idea Corum was in so much danger, which explains why I was happy to leave Kryptgarden for a while.

So, to find the beginning of my own little foray back into the world of adventure we must go back a few days to.....

DAY 203 (Highharvestide)(October)

At lunch time my cousin Sylvia arrived at the Lavius Estate with a message from my brother Elric. Now Elric is a Cleric of Mystra and I am led to believe that he is quite high up in the inquisition.

I don't know too much about it to be honest, and while I have always known that Elric is the most political of us four brothers I have never known him to be a bad person. From what I know from Corum, he helped keep Fenrir away from the fires with a word or two in the right place more than once and was Corum's 'inside man' at the Halls of Justice.

Be that as it may, he sent a letter with Sylvia saying that he had been contacted by a fellow cleric of Mystra known as Tunaster Dranik. They had once been great friends and had travelled a great deal together when they were younger.

They were still friends and kept in touch and I know that Tunaster once did father a great favour and father was always anxious to repay it. Elric's letter mentioned that Tunaster was in great distress in regards to something and could do with some help and this was father's perfect opportunity to relieve himself of this debt.

There was one small problem though, he was a thousand miles away in Cormyr!

Father is old now and one of his legs is not as good as it used to be, but he could call in a few old favours of his own. He asked me, if he could arrange a teleport, if I could go and see what all the bother was and see if the family debt could be repaid.

Well, I said yes of course, being a dutiful son, but Lavinia insisted that she should come too, being my wife and all. Then Sylvia said that if Lavinia was going to go then she would have to be there to look after her because (apparently) I would be incapable of such a task!

When father heard of this he said 'You may as well get a balanced party together!'

and called in Shump (who was back in the area) and a friend of his, a little halfling rogue known as Jiggles.

His wizard friend was sent for and it was all arranged. We packed quickly, said our farewells and were all teleported, one at a time, to the town square of Wheloon in Cormyr.

Interesting, although the sun was near setting in Kryptgarden it was still mid afternoon in Wheloon. I think we had gained two or three hours of light by our sideways jaunt.

This new town was of great interest to me, as I love travel and new places and I noticed that the wooden houses with their green roofs were of great pride to the locals.

In the town square we noticed a jobs board and on it one of the notices read:

'To those of strong arm, keen mind and curiosity, salutations! See the man in blue at the Wyvern Watch Inn before the 23rd if you wish to hear a peculiar riddles and are willing to undertake a commission to discover its answer - T.D.'

So, feeling like I was the one in charge whether I liked it or not, I stopped my examination of the houses in the area and got directions to the Wyvern.
