DAY 368 (8th Ches)(March) cont ...

Fenrir had just arrived back in Waterdeep to find his girlfriend had been tricked into marrying the former household servant Teru.

After a short sleep he awoke and talked to Giselle at greater length, attempting to come up with a plan.

From Giselle he learned that Teru was clever and cunning, but he was also very paranoid about being attacked by the likes of Corum or Fenrir who he knew were men of greater power than he.

To protect himself he had hired an 'ugly dwarf' and was turning the family house into a fortress. He may have also installed a secret tunnel.

After breakfast Fenrir set off north, flying and invisible. As an extra precaution he used is disguise kit to alter his appearance.

He inevitably got lost. As night fell he considered sleeping in a tree, but could not find a suitable tree.

In the end he paid a happy farmer five gold for a room in his house.

DAY 369 (9th Ches)(March)

As you know dear reader, I am a druid. So it very much pains me to recount - yet again! - Fenrir's hopeless wanderings between Waterdeep and Kryptgarden.

Even when just following the road he managed to get lost and it took him much longer than it should have to reach the Huntsman's Inn, which lies more or less halfway between the city and my father's estate.

He kept going past the inn as it got dark. He then got lost skimming over the tops of the trees, having lost sight of the road. It was at that point he remembered he had a compass and he dug it out of his bag of holding.

It was useless to him though, in the dark, when he didn't know where he was in relation to where he was going. He headed towards the nearest lights.

An ugly man in a dirty apron answered the door. 'What do you want?' he demanded.

Fenrir couldn't say anything though before the door was slammed in his face.

He knocked again, the door was opened and a crossbow was fired at him.

Things escalated quickly from there and more bolts were fired from the upstairs windows. Fenrir burst in, killed two of the villains and stormed upstairs. He killed another and then discovered a room with six people chained up within.

He checked the rest of the house before releasing them and found an old man sat at a table downstairs. He offered no resistance, but Fenrir killed him anyway while one other man escaped through the back door.

Fenrir went back to the prisoners. One of them was dead, but the others he healed with his wand of Cure Light Wounds and fed from his box of provisions.

One of them, a man called Vink Jongler told them that he was a charcoal burner and his house was only a mile or so away in the forest so they went there.

Jongler's wife was understandably delighted to see him alive.

Apparently the villains had arrived in the area a few months ago and had been killing and robbing anyone they could catch.

Fenrir was given the best room in the house for the night.

DAY 370 (9th Ches)(March)

Fenrir got his bearings and headed off on his travels once more. He eventuallyarrived at Ottery St. Mary at about eight at night.

At ten he arrived at the Gnesher Lodge House. He flew around it, noting that all the windows now had bars on them. The back door had been bricked up.
