- We pick up the morning of 5 Austus, having slept in the barn and some in Avic the Bartender's inn in Gloomsedge
- Its hot ouside - we're in the middle of a heat wave.
- Summer is in swing.
- Avic the Bartender
- Its a full days' walk to the Lumber Operation, hang a right after the bridge that heads towards the trading post
- Avourel runs Lumber Operation for Sabino Lebesco. He was a log driver for a long time. Been with the lumber operation since before Sabino took over.
Heading to the Lumber Operation
- We walk past the mill, which is right at the edge of Gloomsedge
- Getting toasty out - mid 90's and no wind
- Folen Quivaler falls into the river after Nia Moonwhisper knocks the board into the water. A rescue mission commences and we manage to save him from certain death.
- We enter a grove as the path straightens out. Nia and Folen see a small satchel lying amongst the leaves.
- Folen Quivaler steps on a spike trap and dies again. We investigate and see that this trap was built hastily and recently.
- We come to a rocky outcropping and a smooth stone face, with an iron chain ladder of some sort. It's about 4pm. Still very hot.
- Krix heals Folen Quivaler, but Folen still seems pretty out of it. Says he is dizzy.
- Red Ulfharrow the Lumber Buyer is lying in wait at the top of the hill when Krix gets there
- Roll Initiative!
- Red and his 5 lackeys attack Krix, grappling and tying him up.
- Hubert hits with a ray of frost.
- As Folen Quivaler runs away down the path, Red Ulfharrow the Lumber Buyer throws some kind of metal grenade at him. Takes a bunch of points of thunder damage.
- Nia Moonwhisper convinces us to let Red Ulfharrow the Lumber Buyer take her and Folen Quivaler
- "Jim is Jam" - Pan after smashing a bad guy's head with the pointy spear
- Zaithar is down.
- We managed to lock Red Ulfharrow the Lumber Buyer up with manacles, but Zaithar is unconscious for 4 hours.
