Roads Uncharted

Arthas, Rou and Eight arrive at the town of Ravenspire, where they come across a Jerboamin named Florence. Florence is preparing for a big celebration back at her family’s shop, and is nearly hidden by the number of packages she carries. 

After a brief discussion, the group offers to help Florence carry some of the packages back to her family’s shop. When they arrive, they discover a worrisome event has cast a shadow on this joyous day.

Blisternose has made it clear that he has no intention of stopping the drumming. Angered by the party’s influence on his people, he attacks Rou. Arthas and Eight are quick to respond when their friend collapses to the ground, the other goblins left in a state of shock and confusion.

Rou’s wolf form emerges, resulting in the goblins running away in fear. Blisternose is left to deal with the trio alone, who let him escape with his life. After he leaves, the party is forced to deal with the consequences of their interference.

The trio heads off to the unexplored area on their map, attempting to locate the source of the drumming. Upon reaching the rocky outcropping, Arthas tosses a rock and ends up striking a green humanoid named Griswold. Talking to Griswold reveals that they will need to request permission from their chief in order to get the drums to cease.

On the other side of the outcropping is a cave, wherein a group of Goblins have taken up residence. Talking to the Goblin leader, Blisternose, Rou attempts to negotiate a peaceful compromise; however, Blisternose has other plans.

Eight offers to help Rou practice his new sword skills, but once Rou realizes Eight just plans to stand there he encourages the Warforged to grab a weapon and fight back. Over the course of their journey, Eight changes from a target to a sparring partner.

One day, they begin to hear the sound of drums in the distance. Following the sound of the drums, they come upon a village called Springpoint. It isn’t long before they learn the villagers have been plagued by the drumming for the past week and can’t locate the source of the disturbance.

While preparing to leave Kidohlva, each member of the group takes the opportunity to tie up some loose ends. Arthas spends his final two days trying out the various restaurants in the city, and stocking up on supplies.

Rou heads to the library, spending his last two days researching Warforged and Giant-kin in an attempt to better understand his companions. He also requests help from Arthas in learning how to use a sword, something that Arthas is more than happy to help with.

Eight pays a visit to the head of the council, a Silarin named Latham, to learn what they can about the Jruna family. Although there isn’t much the council member can share, Latham is at least able to direct Eight toward the records in Baukora and provides them with a copy of the information.

Once the group is out of the mountains and clear of the city Azarra, they come upon a crossroads in their travels where a woman sells produce. When they learn the crossroads is named for a nearby sulfur pool called The Devil’s Bathtub, they take the opportunity for a detour and visit the local natural wonder.

At the suggestion of Arcterus, Eight visits Professor Trela. It takes them a little while to locate her classroom in the upper levels, but once they do they find they’re greeted by a Moldir Elf with black hair and emerald piercings.

She agrees to help Eight learn divination on two conditions. First, they must never use this magic to harm anyone. Second, they must deliver something for her as part of the exchange. Trela requests that Eight bury a locket at the grave of a dear friend of hers, resting somewhere near the Crystal Shoreline to the south. When Eight agrees to these terms, she demonstrates the possibilities of divination.

The rest of their visit is spent learning the basics of this new type of casting, and Trela gives them a book that they can use to continue their studies. However, before they leave, the Professor has a word of warning for their journey.

Eight approaches the individual with the familiar voice, and when they offer to pay for any food and drink ordered, they learn the voice belongs to Viktor. Eight eventually convinces their acquaintance to join the group for dinner, and learns that he has suffered a loss since their parting.

At first Viktor is reluctant to share details of his past, but Rou is able to pry information from him. When Viktor professes he wants to do good, to make up for the deeds of his past, the group agrees to make him the custodian of their new communications device.

Rou and Eight return to the inn, carrying with them a velvet pouch and a scroll with a broken seal. They discuss the nuances of wolf pack behaviors and speculate how Arthas’s interview with Professor Whitmire went. When the group is together again, they discover the pouch contains a one-way communication device.

Rou attempts to contact anyone that might be at the other end, informing the listener of Arcterus’s fate and that they will be the owners of the device. When they read the scroll, they realize the connection it has to the brooch and Rou immediately fears he has committed a social faux pas.

Just as they begin to relax, a familiar figure wanders into the inn.

Rou and Eight head to the dungeons to visit Arcterus, bringing with them a treat for him to enjoy. They are able to ask him about the transporter that he stole and his memories surrounding his death. Although his answers weren’t as helpful as the pair anticipated, he is able to point Eight toward a person that could help them hone their magic skills.

They later find Arcterus’s old office, which is now in possession of the university’s newest member, Professor Blossom. As Eight distracts him, Rou is able to search the desk and locates a velvet pouch hidden within.

In order to gain permission for the visit, Rou and Eight are escorted to the chambers of the Kidohlvan Council. When their mission is eventually revealed, they receive an important piece of advice from its members.
