After a year of overseeing their fledgling city's construction (which they named Wyvernshore) the group
grew restless and decided to travel outside of the city boundaries and explore
the surrounding areas that lay to the east south and west of their base.
As they left the city the group headed south-east and soon encountered a
fisherman whom seemed rather disgruntled. Through conversation the group
discovered that the fisherman was having issues with his nets being
damaged by a large bad-tempered turtle.
Obviously as this dwindling supply of fish could affect the trade within the
city, so the group agreed to aid the fisherman and were directed down a nearby path
to a lake where the creature dwelled. It didn't take long to spot the large turtle which also seemed unhappy to
see the party and charged itself to the shoreline to attack the group, only to
narrowly miss biting Miro's hand off. The ensuing fight was short even though the year away from adventuring had taken more of a toll
on the party's abilities than they had thought, with a lot of their attacks missing their mark, but
eventually the turtle was wounded and slaughtered with a few minor scruffs to a
couple of the party members. With the turtle dispatched and the fisherman now happy that he can fish with
no more risk to his nets the group head east.
After four hours the group came across the deep and mighty Gurdrin River and in following
the river they soon find a part of the river where it was shallow enough for
the horses to cross over. As the group reach the other bank they find the carcass
of a large fish. Natalia took a closer look at the large carcass and even though it was 2ft
long it was only a portion of the original fish! Consulting Kyrander, they both decide that what they were looking at the remains of a dead salmon of approx
7ft in length!! It had been rumoured that there were fish this size that swam this length of river and both the ranger and druid noticed that there were nearby tracks and entrails which suggested that a number of owlbears had feasted here, killing and consuming a large quantity of these magnificent salmon.
They continue to travel through the area for a further couple of hours
before setting up camp for the evening.
