We started the session with the group in two places- the sensible part comprising Dormal, Irillo and Sid well on the way to Bagnot, and the lucky group, consisting of everyone else in the trashed Lunar camp, being descended upon from two directions by Grazelanders.

As it happened, both of the Grazelander groups were from Serala’s tribe, and indeed one from her clan. Her clan was led by her Grandfather, who is best described as ‘crusty’. After discussion about Serala’s marital prospects, they got down to business, gifted the group 1/4 of the stolen Grazelander ponies (5) as well as letting them keep hold of the 10 lunar horses (1 of which was a Goldeneye). They then started making tracks towards the planned rendezvous at Bagnot.

Meanwhile, the others had headed to Bagnot to investigate, in time to find it firmly in the hands of the Lunar Tarsh regime, but a bit ‘borderline”, with some Bagnotians referencing ‘The King’, whilst others mentioned ‘The King’ whilst waving a bit of greenery, which confused both Dormal and Irillo.

After some successful trading, Dormal went off in search of his temple, and found a variant of Eurmal he had not encountered before, Eurmal the ‘Smoother of Trade’. He went forward to worship, after a ritual exchange of pickpocketing and slight-of-hand to remove the valuable stuff from the pocket being picked. The God taught him a new mystery, and he found out about the meaning of ‘The King’ and ‘The King in the Greenery’. They also decided that it was possible that the others arriving might result in local complications. They waited with trepidation.

Serala ‘healed’ the Goldeneye of the Brand, using Healing from Yelmalio, who likes his horses and followers perfect, rather than with heroic scars. The rest of the horses, however, had either Grazelander or Lunar cavalry brands, and trouble was anticipated. They managed to sneak in, by looking like a Grazelander bunch, with horses to sell. They met up with Irillo, and the plan was made to make tracks. They left, and after a ride north, encountered some Lunar heavy cavalry. Spotting them at range, they managed to manoeuvre clear without encounter.

They finally exhaled, as they passed out of the Glowline, and headed back towards Aldur Chur. There was a slight detour, as they headed down the smoothly paved road to the Dwarf Mine. They wondered slightly at the strange geometry, and were awed as they came closer to the great stone gate, surrounded with the runes, with the Sun at the apex, pierced as a window of some sort.

The door opened to them, and they were greeted by a Dwarf, who offered to take them to ‘The Dwarf’ . It turned out, when he sat down on a throne, that he was the Dwarf of Dragon Pass. The great hall had wall paintings which magically echoed the time, seasons, and weather outside, and also had strange statuary of other Dwarves in niches around the hall. Trading occurred, with Irillo exchanging silk for gems. They were fed, in a separate hall with pointedly decorated walls, showing the Cannon cult at work.

Leaving, but now recognising the aperture above the gateway as a cannon port, with a delightful itching between the shoulder-blades as they passed through a carefully designed killing field.

With surprisingly little further worry, they reached Alda Chur, and sold some of the goods. When they went to sell 3 of the Cavalry horses, however, one of the buyers turned out to be a Seven Mothers Rune Lord. He accused them of stealing, which Berra didn’t take well to. He spat in her face, and she drew her sword, which triggered the Market spell, causing her to fall over. He tossed Irillo about half the value of the horses, and took them away.

Dormal, being a suspicious SOB followed, and was able to see the Rune Lord paying off a bunch of ruffians. Dormal wasn’t able to make out the details, but came back to warn the others, who shifted inn, and thus missed out on the inn being burned down. Leaving, with the warm sense of a sling bullet dodged, and the warm feeling of an open fire, they headed back towards Boldhome.
