Moving on

Desdem

After a peaceful night's rest at Ekero's farm, the rising winter sun slowly washed over the party, waking the land and sore limbs.

Mercifully for those that partook from Ekero's cactus spirits, they felt no hints of a hangover.

As you gathered your belongings ready for the trip to Ostiarium, Alexis, Voah, Tarmen and Gonyaul were greeted by their host who had brewed a pot of tea to share before you left.

However this morning Ekero was not wearing his farmer's clothes but donning a old leather armour with the etching of a strange creature upon his chest. The lower arms are covered by vambraces which have rows upon rows of small leather pieces, mimicking fish scales.

His short lower legs are protected by leather greaves which have several metal rings attached to the outer sides. Thin leather pants are worn beneath this all. At his belt he carries two well worn but sharp hatchets and at his feet a large pack rest against a nearby log.

"I have decided I'm coming with you." He said looking at Alexis hoping she would translate for the others. "Greatest battle this land has seen in aeons. I would add my name to that song..."

The time for leaving Desdem was upon them. If they needed any more supplies this was the time to get the before the settlement.
