DAY 319 (22th Hammer)(January) cont ...

Back in Westgate, Fenrir wasted no time in wandering over to the watch tower of Trepplemar the Magnificent.

She listened to his report on the uncovered coven of cannibals in Klapton and his admission of killing two of their magistrates.

'Very well, mission accomplished I suppose. As long as Haggam the Hermit was happy, then we are happy. We rely on him to watch that dragon for us and that's all good information about Grappa Valley. Good to know. While you are part of the watch we'll handle any issues that arise with Lord Karden. Well, it's back to work for you then. You know the routine with Dressdelle by now.'

As they had lost Veddic's main mode of transport they went to Gondeth's Mageries and bought a flying carpet for him. Together they then headed over to Spectre Island. Again, without Arahel to guide them, they got somewhat lost, but found it eventually.

They sold their loot to Random and got a bit of extra money towards the carpet. Random was sad to hear of Arahel's death. He had been hoping she would help him with setting up gardens on the island.

They talked over dinner that evening, going over their plans moving forward and among other things Random said:

In regards to the 'Main Quest':

'Consider this your main task, Fenrir old chum. What needs to happen is that you become the leader of the Watch. Not easy I know. First you need to get rid of Dressdelle, then Trepplemar, then Just Captain Torndith Hammersong. Now, Dressdelle we already know is not from Westgate. She's a war wizard from Cormyr. What is she doing here? I don't know exactly, but it has something to do with an event called the "Magpie Affair". I have a spy in Cormyr at the moment, but in the mean time see what you can charm out of her?'

In regards to the quest beyond the portal:

'Barry and his lads have done a great job carving a route to the city out of the wilds of the Plane of Shadow. They need help from you for the next bit though. Barry has the details, but I believe it concerns a tower with a single very high up entrance.'

In regards to his own dealings:

'If you don't fancy either of those, my old boon companion then I have a few side jobs you could do for me. Strictly off the books, nothing to do with Cavu, wink wink. You sort of did ok at the Grand Mansion where you punished the evil merchant for me. The next thing I need you to do is deliver a secret message...'

Finally he said:

'The main quest is pretty slow moving, my old matey. From what I'm picking up from Cavu we've got about a year before we need to seriously start worrying about deadlines. The stuff in the Plane of Shadow, its more a sort of 'nice to have' and I think more a bit of 'Do-Good-ery' by Gerty and Cavu I suspect.'

'Oh, other stuff I need doing is sorting out all the other islands around here. Help feeding all these bloody refugees.' (Referring to the twenty or so people that Barry's gang had rescued from the Plane of Shadows while on their adventures)

'That Grappa Valley sounds like an interesting place. It might help with our plans further along as well. I'll discuss with Cavu and get back to you. It might be a good idea at some point to go back and sort out your legal situation. Don't worry about it for now though, just an idea I have rolling around in my head.'

'A chap called Fayder has been skulking around Westgate, watching for you. He's Rathol Erlend's pet assassin. It tried to have him killed but he's pretty slippery and he's still in the city I think. Keep your eyes open for him.'
