Stoneshade Keep - Morning
Tarmen - Preparations for the move north are under way. The new mine settlement has been named Aquilo, meaning North Wind in the old Salos tongue. During your time at the Keep with Sir Zane you have also seen glimpses of the military operation planned for the Spring against the natives. The ambitious land grab is plain to see. You get word from one of the Keep soldiers that The Preacher has called a gathering of the Creed under the last moon of Winter. Something about a child sacrifice.
Blackwolf - You are taken from your cell and shown to the Keep's bathhouse, where you are told to shave and wash the accumulated dirt and grime from the last few weeks. Your clothes are returned to you cleaned. You are given a hearty breakfast of bacon and eggs, with some bread, washed down with some cool water. Once you feel some energy return to your body you are taken to see the Duke.
Cagliostro's Apothecary- Early morning
Voah & Hunter - You torture the general location of the grove where the sacrifice is to take place to the god Slivikhi. It's almost at the edge of the forests surrounding Ostiarium, close to the plains. It will take you most of the day to reach it. Although you know that you should inform Sir Zane, you have reasons to believe the Creed has infiltrated the Keep and you decide to take matters into your own hands.
Nicolaus - The night proved very useful to you, not only did you gathered some information on some of the criminal elements in the city, you helping the Arbiter in her own investigation can only be of future benefit to you and your own plans. Although willing to help extract information from the prisoner you draw the line at galavanting into the forests especially so soon after returning from the jungles of Sentinel Island. You have much to plan anyway.
Ostiarium forests - Morning
Alexis & Gonyaul - You break camp and continue your search deeper into the forests, not knowing that Wim Riese has not reach the Keep nor the city and that his plan will not come to fruition. You travel deeper and deeper into the woods following the few clues and trails you pick up unawares that no help is coming.
Wim - The ambush took you by surprise and now you are wondering if these cultists know you and the others came looking for them. They certainly seemed ready for you. You know that on your own you could probably turn around and sneak back into the City but you would never return in time before the end of the night. After sleeping in a hollowed trunk for the evening you continue tracking deeper and deeper into the forest following the paths of what you are sure are the cultists. You know this because the pull of the vials and the trees is leading you in the same direction. Or so you tell yourself.
Islana - You wake in the cold and damp burrow. A sheepskin with fresh water, some bread, butter and nuts are waiting for you. The body of the dead forester is gone. You were plagued by dreams following your conversation with your would be executioner. Your time is running out. And despite everything you experienced in your short life you never thought it would end like this. At the hands of the mouthpiece of a long forgotten god...
