26 Saraju 720

Time: Early 2nd watch.

Your warband is awoken by the innkeeper entering the hall and throwing more wood upon the fire, it is then that you realise that the morning air is chill. Rising from your slumber the innkeeper informs you that the morning meal shall be served directly once you have had a chance to wash the sleep from your eyes and dress.

The morning is freezing as a light breeze blows from the north. The sky above cannot be seen through a thick mist which hangs about the thran obscuring all but the closest details.

Looking outside Barak comments "That mist should burn off by early third watch and the weather should improve well enough to travel"

Assuming none of the party wish to stay; Barak will go through the normal routine and travel back to Ygresdram as soon as the weather is conducive.

[Barak has no plans for the day, other than return home, so feel free to wizz his timeline on as required]

Same for Borygg.

Svardkell will make the journey back to Ygesdram as well.

"Thanks for your company friends. I will see you in the next day or so. If anything comes up, come and get me"

Bryndis will travel back with the others.

Time Beginning 3rd watch to Mid 4th watch

The temperature rises as Nolomar casts its light burning off the mist. With the mist gone and the temperature more suitable to travel the warband head back to Ygesdram (less Bjarni). The day is still cold with a steady wind blowing from the north, however, the sky is clear and there looks to be little threat of rain for your journey.

Drawing your cloaks about to ward off the cold wind you make the trip north.

Nearing the thran of Ygesdram you see a small group of men approaching over the next rise, some 5 men approach all carry weapons, shields and spears are clearly visible, it would seem that they have seen you too as they pull up momentarily. The two groups approach cautiously until you get close enough to recognise familiar faces, among them Tersi, who greets you warmly and chats with you briefly (including a friendly question on where you have been, any news and the whereabouts of your oversized friend) before excusing himself to attend to business. The other four men chat amiably with each of you as the two small converse.

Not long after this meeting you arrive in Ygesdram and are soon seated by a small fire which Barak fuels. Gelda peers from behind a door to see who has entered the hall. On seeing your warband she disappears only to reappear soon after bearing a tray with several tankards of ale. "Enjoy your trip?" she asks

"It was a complete waste of time. But at least it was some exercise in the fresh air."

Barak Daas wrote:"It was a complete waste of time. But at least it was some exercise in the fresh air."

"...and by complete waste of time he means that we found Bjarni in good health just sitting and waiting. He had more waiting to do, so we came back. Good exercise though."

Later that morning Jabor appears and sitting down says "Well" he says with a hint of sadness in his voice "in a few days this hall" he says waving his arms about him "will be empty, I intend to make for Tarnbro about the 28th day. You are welcome to say as long as you need but I do not know who the new owners will be until I return after this war to reopen the hall"

"We are just waiting for Bjarni to finish his business and then we will be off ourselves. So I don't think we'll be staying much longer than you. Are you planning to take Shela and Gelda with you?

The innkeeper looks at you with a strange look "Of course, they are still mine!" then standing up he adds "If I leave before you could you ensure that the hearth fire is out and the lamps put out" then with a nod of thanks he turns and leaves your warband alone once again by the fire.

The door to the inn opens and Algared enters, he looks tired from whatever work he has been about. Upon seeing his friends have returned from their search of Bjarni and noticing the big man isn't present asks after Bjarni. Upon finding he is waiting upon the outcome of discussions nods. he adds to the discussion, "Barak you and I at least should be heading to Myna with our Daas Clansmen. Lest we put our friends in danger by our association.. I have a feeling that any Daas men who remain will not fair well. I will be leaving as soon as I have finished here."

Late in the afternoon the door to the meadhall opens unexpectadly, a huge figure of a man enters. Bjarni has returned, he is cold and foot sore from his travels but otherwise no worse the wear...

"I have had no word. I suspect that I will be refused.' Bjarni warms himself and dries out as best he can. Seeing Algared he will ask him "Have you worked out what that journal Cunate gave me is"?

To the general group he will ask - "Have we a berth or are we walking"?

"No berth Bjarni" says Barak "I wasn't sure when you'd be back, or how much of a hurry you'd be in to leave. However, if we don't get a berth I don't mind walking. I am not even sure we want to go to Myna"
