Bertilac and Orvine watch as the ship, The Trespasser, heads eastwards.

Huey speaks to Bert, and the cook is unconvinced that Bert can actually talk to animals. But, he does admit their stew has been made with grass.

Bert talks with Ulysses who is obsessed with being a big, strong horse. But, Bert convinces him to move the caravan back towards Krookhold.

Lycidias asks for a priest and a child points them in the direction of a temple, the sole building made of stone in Krookhold. It's a square building with a dome on top. A lean individual opens the door, almost elf looking. Master Yiban breaks into the temple, past the priest.

There is a dwarf, gagged and tied up against one of the walls. The priest is interrogating them. He questions them about whether sending someone to Garr is okay.

Bertilac gets back to the centre of town and asks where Risses lived.

The supposed priest, Hennex, and Alcott arrive. The taller of the two asks very strange questions, and boasts a lot. He asks for consent more than once. Then his healing is more like a plea, a wish, then channels power into him. He is very sketchy about which god bestows the individual with his powers.

Hennex is wearing a long green coat and a yellow shirt. He's fascinated with other people's power.

Hennex refers to everyone as ne'er-do-wells, learning about the town of Krookhold.

Bertilac searches Risses house, finding little of value.

Hennex asks Bertilac to consider all the power that Alaie has ever granted, then consider the power that the priest can impart. "Do you accept this great power?"

Bertilac uses a divine sense on Hennex. He is a celestial.

Lycidius heads to the tavern, The Lucky Crayfish. The bar keep, Valviun, seems keen to make a deal and claims to dislike Risses.

Bertilac says that they will use Risses money to resupply, then return the rest to Hennex. Hennex claims to be moved.

Bert carries Offir's body to the cart and wraps him in a bedroll.

For 25gp, they provide 150 potions of rations for the group. They allow all the barrels to be filled with water, then two barrels of ale are bought - each covering 318 pints.

A negotiation takes place to feed the horses properly, on top of the supplies.

Valviun says they get a special spice in from Khazara called Dire Balrog.

Hellex says vows are very important. He claims that if Master Yiban breaks his vow, he'd have no choice but to strike him down until he was just a spec of dust on the earth.
