Following the information about Greenest’s farmlands being in ruin. A young man named Shay, has been seen trying to help the local farmers there to sort out the land by their instruction. Mostly doing menial tasks out of his own free will and rejecting any form of pay

Hell broke loose on Fields of the Dead last night.

Three fellows walked out to scout a good location for a watch camp, yet they were encountered by a large group of death knights. They were dispatched, but soon after, a seemingly endless stream of powerful undead and their unliving minions from a nearby crypt flooded the grounds. With reinforcements from Candlekeep, the army was stopped and a meteor shower collapsed the accursed tomb, burrying what undead legions remained beneath.

Despite this, the camp wasn't patched that night. The exhausted group retreaed, unable to continue a fight with undead reinforcements coming from the other parts of the Fields.

After hearing of the destruction of the Greenest Farmlands, Soni'vaphra Anishtep of Bezantur heads to the festival with Thayan Knight Kurvallaxion Brax. She learns the fields have since been restored by druids, and seeks out farmers and people from the area to see if any other infrastructure (such as roads, irrigation ditches, etc) was destroyed. She asks after the state of their farming equipment or if workers were lost. She listens to their concerns and makes notes in a journal. Would they like more fields cleared, or other improvements? Afterward she offers a substantial investment on behalf of the Enclave in Baldur's Gate and awaits their response.

Five travellers journeyed north from the gate, armed with bow, magic, and blade. They cut a path along the Tradeway route, between the Gate through the northern ways near the Blackrose Construction, and further on, toward Corm Orp. They eventually turned from that direction for other routes, with a missiles flight or flash of the arcane for any obvious threats to the roads.

The companions shared talk along the way, though they shared no common banner, they wore no uniforms. They were of different creeds and indeed, there were several races in the mix. The only unifying factor was a small silver badge each of them wore.

A group consisting of a monk of the old order, a candlekeep acolyte, cat tiefling and a paladin of Ilmater depart from Roaringshore into the Fields of the Dead, they circle the area putting as many undead to rest, then they go into the vault, where they explore until the deepest part of it where they were joined by a crazy wizard shapeshifted into a gargoyle, where some of them face the greatest challenge ever seen, thanks to the expertise and experience of the monk, the group was able to best the bone dragon that roams the deeper tombs.

Rumour has it that undeath civil war breaks out in the Fields of the Dead! Undeath combat Undeath as it is said that a small halfling women heads one battalion and another figure shrouded in darkness hiding within shadow heads the other. The fighting last quite some time before both sides start to run out of men and the leaders of both sides disengage their separate ways after an exchange of offensive magic.

Rumor has it the fight had to do with a powerful gem in one of their possession.

"Blackrose" forces could be seen on a patrol in the area around their Outpost clearing the road of hostile wild animals to clear the way for travellers and caravans alike.

Rumors from the Outpost say that they ventured into the ants burrow to thin out their numbers keeping the ant threat to a minimum.

After a meeting held on the 16th of Mirtul, in which the Whitewood Vanguard pledged aid to the Hellriders in their campaign, the first of three volunteers to be rotated arrived for their stint at the fortification of Triel. The Vanguard's captain, Dunn, arrived near the area along with one of their magi, Jillian, as well as the company's stout, Durald of Clan Blazehammer.

The lot made sure to re-introduce themselves to Captain Vanders, during which a roster of the incoming future volunteers was supplied. After that, the trio went to work wherever they could be of most use.

In and amongst what was surely a stout's words on the status of the area's libations, the three were eager to get started.

The following night, three more volunteers of the Whitewood Vanguard show up for their duty at Triel.

Sergeant Ril arrives with Ranger's Ezrel and Drego. Again, introductions are made to Captain Vanders, and again, an eager three volunteered their efforts to the fort.

A far cry different from the first three, the elf, high gnome, and mixed blood bard provided aid of their own expertise.

On the third night, to the outpost in Triel, Captain Dunn returns with two fresh rangers for the duty, Eva and Mishala. Eva likely eager to further her studies amongst the duties required, and Mishala largely keeping to herself.

Another night, another draft of volunteers arrive in Triel. This crew includes Captain Dunn, Ranger Jillian, and Ranger Panthan show up to work.

After completing whatever areas they can provide aid in, when the day winds down and its time to rest, Dunn and Jillian wind up near a campfire. There, Dunn is peeling pieces of wood like one might treat a peeled potato with a large crucible forged knife. After a time, these pieces take various shapes which get passed over to Jillian.

Jillian, for her part, has a few sets of paint and paint brushes, liberally applying herself to the painting of these miniature wooden objects. Whenever Dunn isn't watching her very closely, she might be seen coveting them or trying to sneak one into her pack - he'd let her get away with it at least once, but eventually a dozen are made and packaged up.
