17th session: Communication is key

8th moon, 22nd day, year 4553
After dispatching the two mages, the brothers first have to face some guards and a Xiltyn cleric, followed by another Xiltyn cleric and some more guards. The brothers persevere, despite facing powerful foes and as they finish off the last cleric, the doors break down and Fathers forces are here.

As soon as their father arrive, they are instructed to soon go to Laketown and locate a sage named John Ghulton, who, according to the oracle, knows something important about the scrolls. The brothers are warned that Ghulton has been around for more than 250 years.

They stay in Menzo for 3 days, getting newly acquired items identified and preparing for the long journey north.

8th moon, 27th day, year 4553
After a couple of days of traveling, they are attacked at night, by a noble of House Hume. The brothers manage to defeat him, despite his impressive skills with the blades, but not before he kills Tawri.

Luckily for Tawri, Nalfein has in his possession a scroll of raise dead, acquired on an earlier adventure.
