AK510-37 Cool Summer End Week 1
[Charon Ruling, Shale Sleeping, Cycles Resting]
(Festival of The Orb: Charon - Craft, Combat and Feasts)

Moonday (Evening)

The Farmers thank their saviours profusely and promise never ending gratitude. The usual.
The heroes forget their names.

Vedic Tim Tanner, Chief Constable Todd Stuffitt stay at the farm to question them.
Bob Charmer and Bel-War Ethan Namer head back to the previous farm to pick up the tracks.
As they are following the tracks through a small wood they are accosted by a band of Black Scales.
A ferocious Charon fuelled battle ensues as Ethan and the four Black scales are all attuned to Charon.
Sheriff Appleby disguised as a tree appears from no where and surprises one of the blackscales.
A ferocious battle ensues in which Ethan is pummelled by massive greatclubs of silver and darkwood.
Appleby's Hippogriff's and Charmers bees along with staff and bow, help to turn the tide of battle.
They loot the creatures weapons and jewellery. The leader carries a magical wooden lightening javelin.
(This is claimed by the druid. Ethan take the cure potion and Charmer the shield of faith potion).

Ethan, John and Bob continue to follow the tracks eastward but gradually the pull of the Tomb and his past life get too strong for Ethan to resist.
He persuades John and Bob to go with him, while the other continue the slow tracking process to the east.
Ethan decides that they must get to the Tomb by Cogaday on The Orb festival. They ride hard and reach Tarbuck ferry
They reach Tarbuck ferry by midday on Shaleday and are enthusiastically welcomed by Tarbuck.
With the proceeds of Ethan's gifts of weapons etc he has hired himself a quiet muscular 'assistant' called George to ensure his safety.
They press on once the river has been crossed. And make camp within a few hours ride of the Tomb.
After pre-dawn prayer and mediation they manage to reach the Tomb an hour before midday on Cogaday.
