Eh... I have added 614 XP for "the gnolls". I am not sure if by gnolls I meant "Everything up to the gnolls" I kinda do such shorthand things and 614 XP for the gnolls is kinda much so probably includes the Bulette at least.
If Kat just got to 7th, I am probably mid-level though; not more.

Just keep track from now on.

You didn't earn 614 just for the gnolls, I'd guess.

XP added. Ready.

I've had a message from Lord Skybolt.

Post coming...

Nobody gets the full bed rest benefit (time and conditions), but the party has rested through the afternoon and the night, so everyone gets back 1 hit point/level.

For the record, Benn studies his prayerbook similar to the wizards.

Do we have reason to think there is more we need to do in town? I mean, we drove the monsters off, presumably, and the captain just wanted us to go see what the deal was IIRC. So, maybe back to the boats?

Yep. Feel free to note him finishing his studies, if you like.

As far as course of action goes, that is entirely up to you.
Periele probably has an opinion, but she will wait to see what Benn and his fellow adventurers think.

We do have that plant prisoner, which we could use to find where the monsters are coming from. Then again, fixing Harrowdale may be a job for a proper army, so Klokulf could be convinced to leave.

Looking back in my notes, there seemed to be some thought that there would be info on a possible way back into the Dread Realms here. Though I don't have specifics written down.

Harrowdale was merely a stop along the route north to the Moonsea shores.


The party had contacted cultists of Leria, Lady of the Mists, in Selgaunt (big city in Sembia). The Leiran priestess or oracle the party met seemed to suggest the party go looking for an artifact called the Orb of Savras. She implied her cult might swap info about a way home for the Orb.
Investigations revealed that the Cadornas, a merchant family operating out of the Moonsea ports of Hillsfar and Phlan, last had possession of this item.
So off the party went, chasing the lead.

NOTE ON Phlan: According to sources in Sembia, the small city of Phlan once disappeared for years, lost in some netherworld, before returning to the world...



Were the Leirans lying? Is it all a trick? Is the Orb the way home? Who knows...
You are only halfway to your destination.

If you leave Harrowdale by water, you can (if you find a ship headed that way) get further north along the Dragon Reach coast, but you'd still have to travel overland to reach Hillsfar.

You could just strike out overland now, moving NW along the forest road built for trade, which connects Harrowdale with Hillsfar across the great forest of Cormanthor.

Was the ship we were on planning to go further north, or was this their last stop?

If Harrowdale's abandoned, I don't care for our chances of finding another ship north...

Kat is of the opinion we have not found the heart of the problems here. She could be persuaded that we don't want to.
