Session #51: "Bless the Maker and the Coming and Going of Him ..."

[Once again, profuse apologies for so tardily adding this expedition to the chronicle]

Returning to Cothon-town from his camp on the lands of the Iqta' al Tolwan (allowed thus by the iqtadar), Lars Ghar-Rider sought companions to accompany him on another venture into the island tombs where he had earned his new cognomen. Arngeir and Persephone answered his call, and Arngeir suggested traveling to the iqta' by boat, rather than taking the road.

The company thus setting forth from the harbor in a pair of pangas:

• Lars Ghar-Rider (magic-user 4)
  accompanied by Slith Sly (Sakkra 1)
• Arngeir (fighting man 4)
• Persephone (fighting woman 4)
  accompanied by loyal Finbar and eager Boots (both renyu)

They returned in the boats of Tolwan, bearing on the deck the shell of a final ghar that had not been slain last time, as well as a number of wing-cases taken from flying worm-creatures that someone called gerednya, and claimed were valuable to alchemists.

Lars seemed lost in thought, murmuring some barbaric prayer, and speaking to himself of worms and the "red forest"; meanwhile Persephone and Arngeir saw to the selling of their gains and the counting out of dinars.

Before setting out, Arngeir had sounded out the possibility of commissioning a ship from Guild of Shipwrights with his winnings from previous ventures, backed by Lars' promise to assist if necessary. This was done, and so the ship will soon be ready to slide into the waters of the harbor and the estuary of the Roads.

As always, characters who wish to "buy out" any valued item may do so, and it is up to the company how to divide non-valued items. Art or write-ups provided to the Scribes will be published to the blog and earn the corresponding player-character 100 xp per level.
