The party followed some guards to a bar popular with guards from Ambermoor keep; The Sticky Goose.
Upon arrival, they found a table near the guards they were following.
After listening to their conversation for a bit, Revana went to their table to talk.
She asked them about their arresting of Laef.
They told her that they did find Laef by herself.
They also said that Laef, more or less, turned herself in.
Revana felt as though the guards were telling the truth, and that they were rather intimidated by her.
The party then decided to return to the Windscene Tavern to regroup.
As they entered, a cat (which Ekhart later identified as Agabane’s cat, Aloysius) was leaving the Tavern.
Ian, the barkeep, told the party that a package had arrived for them.
Inside, there was a note from Agabane explaining she had created a new type of potion.
Revana then meditated and spoke to Terra.
She saw a vision of her in greyscale, and Laef in focus on in colour.
Then, it flipped, and she was in colour and Laef was in grayscale.
Revana reasoned that Laef had fallen out of favour from Terra for some reason.
Ekhart looked through Cidmuir’s notes.
They were very practical notes for creating a portal to the Faerealm.
It required a large space, and also a large deposit of amethyst.
Morning, 19th Summer Prime, 498 CE
The party woke, exhausted from any other leads, decided to head into the Shadowfen Thicket to find the Silent camp and Cidmuir themselves.
As they were traveling toward the edge of town, they came upon a large, barrel chested man.
The man was Bravick Eene, the Guildmaster and Founder of the Foresters Guild.
He offered to take the party into the Shadowfen Thicket, where some of his guild members had spotted the Silent before.
Sanglant began to crush heavy on Bravick.
Afternoon, 19th Summer Prime, 498 CE
The party and Bravick arrived at a clearing in the Shadowfen Thicket.
He told the party he would wait for 6 hours for them to return.
Bravick offered his protective services for an additional fee, which apparently broke Sanglant’s heart who realized that Bravick was only interested in being paid, and not getting laid.
Ekhart, Sanglant, and Revana traveled an hour or so into the forest, and eventually found the Silent Camp.
It was a depressed clearing, with fortifications around it and a guard tower looking out for intruders.
Revana turned into a ferret and scurried into the camp to see if she could find Cidmuir.
In one of the tents, she found Cid talking with the Silent leader.
The Silent leader appeared visibly annoyed with Cid, saying that they were putting themselves in great danger for him.
Cid appeared flippant about the man’s concerns, assuring him that whatever Cid was doing would help out the Silent’s cause more than he could imagine.
When Rev returned, she offered Ekhart to send Cid a message with the Animal Message spell.
Ekhart sent a message explaining that he was here, and was offering Cid help.
Cid replied with a note around a squirrel’s neck that told Ekhart to create a distraction so that he could “see some really cool.”
