Returning to Mavagavrin

With Shael Gontain saved, the team ventured out to the coast where they had previously seen flashes of fire from the last night. There they found a few oddities. Memphis corpses lay hidden in the sand, and in one area the sand had been turned to glass. Jagged and irregular, the team avoided the area. After singling out some clearer footprints, they tried to track them but were unable to track the footprints as they crossed over one another often and haphazardly.

Giving up and returning to Mavagavrin, the team sent Shael home. They stopped in to talk to Eroul Faldrin. The team waited for about an hour as Faldrin had been in an important meeting before they arrived. They took this time to butt heads with Pavlin Ilvistar. Once allowed entrance, an older distinguished looking gentleman, named Haylon Turk walked out smiling and wishing them a good day. A young man stayed in the room with Faldrin. Iccari Cutinar had been asked by Haylon Turk to stay and aid Faldrin. Faldrin, in turn saw the opportunity and asked the team to take Iccari to investigate the strange movements of a group of mages called "Zabroi's Light". The team was generously rewarded and also asked to get a room in the Looky Cask Tavern facing the central square tonight.

The team went about different tasks, from shopping to showing up drill sergeants and training new soldiers. Eventually, news reached the team that there has been a rash of extremely brutal murders in the slums. The guard finally seemed to take notice when one of their own had been killed the previous night.

The team investigated the scene of the murder and were able to locate a very faint trail of dried blood along the rooftops. hopping from roof to roof the team trailed the blood across the city. There they came to a small alleyway with 5 doors. Hijinks ensued where the team walked in on a drunk and ransacked a shack of a barren home. Finally, the team located a glamoured door. Upon entering fire exploded outward and they were attacked by a large undead and a wizard who had been stitching the thing together.

After defeating the pair, the team salvaged some somewhat burnt notes to find that the killer had an accomplice, and was part of some larger coalition called the Sundered Spear. The team informed Pavlin Ilvistar when Faldrin could not be found and went to rest in the Looky Cask for the night.

That night Faldrin gave a public speech. Calling the people into the town square he bathed himself in a radiant light as he rallied the people to action. He called all of those willing and able to enlist and begin training for dark times were ahead and the people would need to steel themselves against the horrors.

The next night the team set back out to the Hork Swamp to look into the Zabroi's Light.
