From the shadows Israe'anna stares at the work being done. She would shake her head, whispering to herself. "I'll handle this when I get time..." From there she steps off, not wishing to be noticed as the dark figure seems to glide away from the Triel area, for now.

Rumors of a dark haired drow in the area of Triel seem to have caught the attentions of a tall blonde haired teifling in blue armor, who has been seen walking in and around the area more than once. One with particularly good vision might notice he has a pair of golden eyes as they peer around searching.

Over the past week or so, noticeable progress has been made in the taming and restoration of Triel. A semi-permanent camp flying the banners of the Ebon Blade Mercenaries can be spotted on the high hill. It seems the rubble has been gathered into organized piles, and any brush cleared has been stacked for burning.

Several riders have been sent out from this camp, heading Westward in a great hurry.

Omar can be seen wandering around Triel, carrying a few sacks of dirt and sachels of acorns and shrub seeds with him.He would then place water in buckets from the river. He would murmur a prayer to Istishia over each bucket.

After he offers his prayers, he would spread the fertile dirt around, planting acorn seeds within it and watering each seed carefully, then spread the shrub seeds, and the remaining dirt around to several sites around the ruined town. He spreads the water carefully around each plant site, then pours the remaining water back into the river, dropping to his knees to offer another prayer to Istishia, before taking camp in Triel.

Liam makes another trip to Triel, ever watchful for the drow activity that rumor held was here. This time he has a mule in tow, laden with a number of cured hams, casks of wine, and dried fruits and nuts. He offers these to the workers Griel has hired in an attempt to keep morale up as the work continues.

After a richer meal than many of the men have likely ever enjoyed, accompanied by a short musical performance by the bard himself, Liam approaches the foreman of the workers and donates the mule to assist in the labor.

After another search of the perimeter, Liam heads off back south, having satisfied his desire to both search for the "dark-haired drow maiden" and improve the morale of the workers there.

It can be noticed that Captain Greil Nightgale can be seen escorting a wagon full of lumber into the ruins of Triel. Upon entering the small camp they have set up The captain would greet the workers instructing them on where the set the lumber. After helping the workers unload the lumber he remove a large pack from the wagon ,that would be filled with a few bottles of wine and some dried rations, and break bread with the men.


/// the lumber mentioned is an award received last night from DM Wagner

A small wolf gazes upon the scene, before scampering off, growling.

A group of undead and devils lead by a sinister looking blackgaurd has kidnapped another worker.

They escort this poor man to a clearing where an altar has been set up.. The man looks to the mysterious figure in red, as she chants and opens a portal. Out steps a devil with the appearance of an elderly elf. She speaks to him briefly before having the worker laid out before her. With a knife in her hand and hellfire blazing through her eyes, she butchers the worker. The area is covered in blood, but it slowly dissipates as the devil begins to chant softly. The remains are left blue and dry.. devoid of any blood...

Rumors mull about the dozen or so workers hired on by the Ebon Blade. Although they themselves were being kept safe by the vigilance of the mercenaries, a few of their number discovered the remains of some vagabonds.

These unfortunate loners had been murdered, and offered up to darkling gods in some obsence ritual. All the Ebon Blade could do to put the peasants at ease is promise to keep protecting them, and to hunt down those who would bring such darkness to Triel..

A figure darts from the shadows and sets one of the tents on fire. The flames burn with a violet glow.

There is a lot of interaction with NPC's and combative roleplay here that isn't really giving fair chance to respond. I am going to lock this for review by the DM team.
