The party started the year with small expeditions
into the Rubble. Krogar soon provided them with gainful employment hunting down chaos beasts in the marshes near Corflu. They
were successful, even though Lucifer lost a leg to a crocodile.
After returning to Pavis they
had a run-in with Broken Horn clan sable riders that began an enmity that persists to this day.
Notchet and beyond
Krogar, who wanted an important
message delivered, then sent the Company to Notchet. After a long journey they arrived in Notchet, delivered their message,
and did some shopping. Kallyr met a party of easterners whilst looking for a fight down at the docks. Over drinks she recruited
some of them into The Company, as a mission had come up and most of the group could not go due to prior obligations in
Sartar. Thus Taka, Chun Li, and Wasumato became members of The Company.
Lucifer was appointed
leader for the mission, escorting a scholar to an ancient barrow and protecting him while he studied it. The journey went
well and the party soon arrived at the barrow. They found that bandits had set up a camp there and after a vicious fight defeated
them. Shortly afterwards they were themselves attacked by a party of warriors from Safelester who seemed to want something
from the mound. A short but bitter fight later, the party defeated these new opponents, but lost Wasumato in the
melee, killed by a lance blow. The group stayed until the scholar had concluded his research and then returned to Notchet.
They
completed their business in Notchet and returned to Pavis to meet up with the rest of the group when they returned from
Sartar.
Misbehaving in Sartar
Fost,
Kragle, Kallyr and Haradda decided to go to Sartar to see what they could see, find old friends and family, and to allow
Kallyr to visit Tarthcaer.
The
trip proved eventful. They had to flee Swenstown after an unfortunate incident in which Fost's alynx killed a Lunar soldier.
They spent some time being chased but managed to escape into the hills. They travelled to Tarthcaer to allow Kallyr to
visit the temple of Vinga there, and Haradda to find family who lived nearby. They then travelled towards the lands
of the Dundealos, hoping to meet up with old friends from the tribe.
One
night in the wilderness, with Fost and Kragle asleep, Kallyr and Haradda got up to some misbehaving while supposedly on guard
duty. They were 'ambushed' by a small party of Orlanthi led by Egil Ostenstadt. Egil had taught Kallyr to use a sword,
had been the head of the Macleod warband, and was quite amazed to find the chieftains missing daughter snogging a
Humakti in the middle of the woods. After a good deal of piss taking, they escorted
the small group to a nearby stead. A few discussions later it was concluded that Egil and his men would meet them later
in Pavis. Rested, the group continued on to Lismelder lands, stayed with Fost's family for a few days and then returned
to Pavis via The Paps (Kallyr had to visit a priestess there).
More small expeditions into the Rubble followed, along with training and attending to personal business.
Lucifer began to learn the art of swordsmithing, Garak tried to improve his unarmed combat skills (after a humiliating defeat
by Kallyr during a training session in front of a large crowd), Miko learnt some new spells, Kragle began to train for the
position of acolyte of Kygor Litor, Kateri travelled into the Wastes to find her pride and spend some time with them,
Kallyr spent time at the temple of Lhankor Mhy studying languages, and Fost underwent further weapons training.
