Having hooked up with Oakshade and set off for Tindale, the heroes travelled a day and stayed at the "Halfway There" Inn. The next day, they encountered a slaughtered border patrol and located the band of ten trolls responsible for it.

After playing until nearly 1:30 am EST, with Oakshade almost dead and Kel not far from being put down, the trolls were at last slain.

Finding the key that the leader wore as an earring, a chest was uncovered and unlocked.

A note was found in Dwarven Runes, inscribed in blood on some kind of flesh. Some may recognize the language as Giantish. If anyone can read the letter, I shall reveal its contents.


Also in the chest, you find the following:

A magical rapier of exquisite craftsmanship, studded with fine jewels and wrapped in gold and silver filigree, the blade being mithril.

2 Garnets
1 Aquamarine
1 Azurite
1 Pink pearl
1 Peridot
1 Hematite
1 Alexandrite
1 Golden yellow topaz

Currency: 5000 gp.
