27 Hiddumont 0700,

 

Departed next morning, cloud covered sky and heavy fog covers the valley. Travel to Tarsis goes well, arrive at the north entrance of the city. City is surrounded by 25 feet walls.

​

At about 500 feet from the city gates, you see 4 Draconians guards posted at the gates, merchant kiosques at the exit of the gates with about a dozen humans shopping at the kiosques. Some humans are entering and exiting the city while the draconians stand guard observing who enters and exits. At a certain point a group of 3 humans arrive from the south east and are searched before crossing the gates. They go in without any issue.

Two Draconians are making rounds along the walls of the city. You manage to attrack them near the rock formation you hidding behind and take them out.

 

You then attempt to distract the other 4 draconians. In the process Korben is killed. but you still manage to take out 2 of the four before one enters the city (probably to get help). One of the human villagers (an older man) approaches and mentions that you are out of your mind to attracked that type of attention, and suggests/insist that the follow him away from this entrance to another smaller entrance through the sewers into the city.

​

You find you way in and the human suggest that you head to the Red Dragon Inn where the owner would be able to assist you in what ever you are doing.

​

The old man is Eldon Graymane (about 60), a former blacksmith from Gateway. He recognises Taryn and knew Farland, Taryn's father. He suggests that you head to the Inn of the Red Dragon. Mostly local folk go there and the draconians usually avoid going there.

​

​

​

​

​

At the Inn, he suggests that you speak to the owner (Thorin Ceary), he would be able to assist you in what ever you are doing, or at least provide some info. he is well connected in the city and knows everybody. But this one, pointing to Dorren, needs to conceal his Solamnic armor, he will be killed on site by the draconians.

​

Your carefully make your way to the Inn. At the Inn, its somewhat crowded and 2 draconians are having a drink. You enter seperately to not attract to much attention. the barmaid, (Lea) welcomes you and takes your orders. Lea mentiones not to worry about the two draconians, they are off duty and well into a few drinks... these two never make any trouble...

 

Le Nordais and Taryn overhear the 2 drunk draconians mention that :

• they talk about a group of stupid pretend heroes that killed Verminaard and Ember. They are heading for Tarsis... look out here they come ooohhhh, look im scared...

• The blue bitch has sent special Kapak Hunters, they will be arriving this evening, to track and kill those stupid heroes... good luck...

• ohh and wait here is some crazy news... get this, I heard that Fewmaster Toede will be the new Red Dragon Highlord, while they find a new one, isn't that funny and scary at the same time.....

​​​

The draconians eventually leave the inn....

​

From the various discussions with Eldon and Thorin (the Inn owner) you know this:

• the Draconian Blue army took over the city about a week ago.

• word is that they are using Tarsis as a main base in the plains of dust, but rumours say they are looking for something.

• A blue dragon and its Highlord comes and goes. hasn't been around in a few days...

• the draconians will stop people that are armed and put them in the city prison or maybe even kill them. There is a curfew from 10PM to 6AM (all found will be imprisoned or killed)

• the draconians are all over the city, some people from the other cities have been moved here (The ones that are still alive). The other cities have been overrun and destroyed (Hopefull, Lantern, Bazin and Rigitt. Not sure about Zeriak, seems it was destroyed and all the inhabitants where killed.

• the governor of Tarsis is a puppet for the Dragon Highlord...​

​​

Thorin offers to stay at the inn for the evening.... And you finish the evening by heading to your rooms, while Dorren takes interest in the barmaid. the Inn closes at 10pm.
