- We were approached by the Guilds of Magnimar to become an officially recognized guild– official in the same way that Karaz is our ‘official leader’. Not sure I really like this – but at least I know up front it is a sham. The reasoning behind the move became clear when we were approached by Shaelu – there was trouble to the northeast. Guess we are going to clean up another mess.

- We arrived in Turtleback Ferry after some trouble in wilds. The town seemed on edge – some bad things had been going down. Apparently, the fort close by had been overrun by Ogres and there was something about gambling? I must have been drinking heavier than usual as my memory is dodgy.
The Road to Fort Rannick
- Tokki
- The wilds unbound
- Dangers concealed by nature
- Half-breeds like a pox
- Dangers concealed by nature
- Isra'a
- On the way to investigate the fort we came across what was obviously a trained fire pelt cougar that was caught in a trap. While attempting to free the beast we were attacked by a mutated ogrekind and his dogs. We dealt with the ogre and it became clear that the cougar wanted us to follow him.

- Isra'a
- The cougar led us to a dilapidated farm-stead, where we were again attacked by a deformed ogre. Calum had a senior moment and opened up the barn while we were still dealing with the first foe. This sprung three more grotesque creatures. Following a brief skirmish we got to investigate the inside of the barn. It seems these creatures, the ‘Grauls’, kept a pet in here – a massive spider. Normally, I would be fine with leaving this well enough alone but it seemed that the Grauls were going to feed some prisoners to it. Unfortunately, we couldn’t spring the captives free without killing off the spider.
- These three, turned out to be members of the Black Arrows – the garrison that had been ousted from Fort Rannick. Before we could question them we had to finish with the ogres. We made our way into the farmhouse, we discovered the reason for the birth defects – it seems the matriarch of the farm liked to keep the gene pool as small as possible. We happened to catch them *urp* creating a new generation? We decided to do the only thing any reasonable person would do – kill them all.

- Valiant on their last breath
