-A brassy horn is heard and [[people:MrCanders]] runs up. He beseeches them to save him the dog for he has not had a good hunt in many days. Thorne negotiates with him that he is willing to provide superior prey if he is patient for a single day. Mr. Canders agrees to the trade and helps them defeat the final dog.

-At least Thorne has better luck with his prey. The dishonorable scum of Holwen'​s Boys are prime candidates. He spreads rumors about them not finishing an honorable duel. While no ganger has ever met upon a field of honor there are over a hundred [[creatures:​Sidhe]] in the city that look down upon such things. Having them hunt you will bring him out of the woodwork to deal with these rumors.+At least Thorne has better luck with his prey.

 Thorne prepares an ambush in a stretch of trees near the city with the help of Anne and Hafwyn. He spies Rorrick along with three other companions - in addition they brought along a nasty looking [[creatures:​hobgoblin]]. Hafwyn'​s warrior spirit resonates with hobgoblin driving both of them into a rage. The ambush blown Thorn steps out and laughs at Rorrick'​s need for help - ignoring his own assistance. Thorne prepares an ambush in a stretch of trees near the city with the help of Anne and Hafwyn.

 Dragging along their prizes they head to search for a priestess in the next village. She knows of the grove, but the directions she gives are most alarming. Head west until you are heading east then pass through the fork in the road. The words may be twisty, but they do manage to find Mockers'​ Grove. Mr. Canders is not pleased with the quality of his prey, but he is willing to let the favor pass. All of the land owe obligation to the [[people:​Aegrin|ancient one]] who watches over these lands and the ancient one choose them. Dragging along their prizes they head to search for a priestess in the next village.

-He tells them of the time long ago when [[people:​Aegrin]] came to this land and killed [[people:​X'​toltn]],​ the Undead King of [[atlas:Marak]]. It is said by some that their battle never ended and they continue to fight to this day. The power used to destroy the Undead Sorcerers was drawn from the River of Souls and the river, along with the land, has never been right since then. It has been cleansed of their evil, but it has twisted everything sideways.+He tells them of the time long ago when [[people:​Aegrin]] came to this land and killed [[people:​X'​toltn]],​ the Undead King of [[orgs:Marakii]].

 He does has one spot of good news. Anne should seek out [[people:​Father Karl]] for a cure for her poison. The priest has some measure of power and he has gathered around him a strong following.

 The next morning Keribrar stops by and presents Thaogut with his chair. The fae gnome is immensely pleased with his new chair. Throne meets him there and returns Thaogut'​s walking stick and even helps Thaogut move //The Chest// higher upshelf to the temple district. Keribrar learned a great deal about Mr. Canders from Thaogut. The [[orgs:​Irillians]] call them [[creatures:​Liminal]],​ but the proper term is Harduic. Most are half-born creatures chased from the [[lore:Fae Lands]] by a [[creatures:​Faerie Queen]]. Pitiful creature trapped between world and never belonging to either. The next morning Keribrar stops by and presents Thaogut with his chair. The fae gnome is immensely pleased with his new chair.

-Thorne returns to the Watchers'​ House and finds it changes. The greenery is wilted, the flames dimmer, and the entire place chilled. The house is under the influence of the [[lore:​unseelie]],​ but [[people:​Ollonni]] does not seem to mind. He does meet up with some other Sidhe who are enjoying a nice luncheon. It is clear they are unseelie, but Thorne cares little for such titles and sits down for lunch with them.+Thorne returns to the Watchers'​ House and finds it changes.

 With everyone gathered at the inn they meet with the girl and pay for passage to visit [[people:​Gorrick]]. It is a twisty path with plenty of spots to ambush or kill any interlopers. There is even a heavy blade placed after a small tunnel to lop off any heads peeking through. Deep into a natural cavern they reach the lair of Gorrick. He turns out to be a deformed and amputee goblin. The roughest and ugliest goblin that anyone can remember seeing. With everyone gathered at the inn they meet with the girl and pay for passage to visit [[people:​Gorrick]].

-Gorrick is willing to help them, and even leave them alone, in exchange for a trade. He needs weapons, tools, and coin. In exchange he is willing to guide them to the edge of the territory of [[people:​Duerte]]. Duerte is a powerful necromancer who has lived here since the birth of this city. He is a master of secrets and dangerous as an enemy. Gorrick sold two brass orbs to him for a tidy sum.+Gorrick is willing to help them, and even leave them alone, in exchange for a trade.

 While speaking with the goblin they see a young girl carrying food and a goblet into a back room. When the curtain parts they seee [[people:​Quilate]] bound up inside. The girl comes out with empty plates and six colorful feathers. With an immediate goal they negotiate for Quilate'​s freedom. The final tally is Quilate provides them with six feathers a week and Keribrar repairs their simple furniture. In exchange they can take Quilate and he will provide them with his protection. While speaking with the goblin they see a young girl carrying food and a goblet into a back room.
