	Disgruntled from the inferior Identify spell, the group headed off to ask around to see if there might be any more mages in town. Orich grumbled about being especially busy because his assistant has gone missing - <u>[[Kylar Birthwitch]]</u> (the councillors nephew). The only mage he knew in the village was Basil the Bizarre, though he knew Paumine Sandlewood was a druid and that there was a priestess (<u>[[~~Isperell~~ Lightwind]]</u>) in the local chapel that could both cast spells but that might not be the type of magic they were looking for.

	Passing through the squalid refugee camp, the group reached the more refined tents representing the nobles part of the camp, where they met <u>[[Cadica LeBlorne]]</u> - an arrogant snobbish fellow. Cadica indicates that they don’t have a mage in their retinue, but that there was a priest from Safeharbour in the refugee camp who could cast spells. He also indicates that they were trying to figure out how to improve their standing, since as refugees, they don’t have voting rights in the village - and really they ought to have more say about how the village is run.

	With daylight fast fading, the group started to think about where they are going to spend the night. Cormir’s friend <u>[[Orich Stronghammer]]</u> happened along and was embarrassed to say that his wife had insisted that despite the group’s obvious heroic activities, for the sake of his marriage, he couldn’t really allow them to stay at his place again. He had however already had a discussion with <u>[[Malaga Taerwain]]</u>, the innkeeper at <u>[[The Weary Traveller Inn]]</u>. Apparently Malaga was allowing refugees to sleep for free on the floor of the main common room of the Inn if they were destitute, but she did have some paying rooms available as well and would be welcome for the business.

The party got a room at the refugee-friendly Weary Traveller Inn run by <u>[[Malaga Taerwain]]</u>, and got free food & drink at Jorney's Tavern, <u>[[Jorney Yovurn\|Jouney]]</u> expressing a desire to run for village council on an anti-immigrant platform.

	The next morning they visited <u>[[~~Basil~~ the Bizarre]]</u>, pissed him off, but bought a cheap scroll of identify which they cast realising more features of Morthos's sword were still hidden. They inquired about other mages, meeting Cormir's friend, the smithy, <u>[[Orich Stronghammer]]</u> - who mentioned his missing assistant Kylar Birthwitch (the councillors nephew), visited the Safeharbour refugee camp and met the arrogant <u>[[Cadicca LeBlorne]]</u> who also professed a desire to have more of a say in the running of the village affairs and also met <u>[[Sir Brenarform Steelcrest]]</u>, who invited them to join the <u>[[Knights of the Last Bastion]]</u> and helped them read some of the goblin book - which mentioned the worship of '''Gartlemak''' as a way to avoid ''"the Plague"''. They met with Kadra again who admitted being a sorcerer and in return for providing a full scroll of identify, asked the PCs to look out for a teenage girl amongst the refugees who she worried was her former teacher, the sorcerer <u>[[Merriath the Quick]]</u>, who was mad and wanted to kill and drink the blood of all of her former students to ''"become a dragon"''. Finally they visited <u>[[Isperil Lightwind]]</u> at the <u>[[Temple of Long Light]]</u> who agreed to help them if they needed it.

	The group looked for Bjalien, spotting him exiting the windmill, and approached him. He was pleased with their sign / hobgoblin head on a stake, and lead them back to his house, where he fetched their final payment and again exhorted them to continue to promote his re-election campaign. The PCs asked him if there was a wizard in town, and Bjalien pointed them in the direction of <u>[[~~Basil~~ the Bizarre]]</u> - the resident potion seller and purveyor of magical things.

	Drex tries to persuade ~~Basil~~ to let him copy Identify from his spell book, and when that fails, tries to intimidate him instead. When that fails, Morthos steps in quickly and offers to buy a minor identify spell scroll for 50gp before ~~Basil~~ gets too irate. Drex is banned from the shop.

	Leaving ~~Basil~~, they returned to their room at the inn where they eagerly cast the Identify scroll - only realise that the reason it was so cheap was because it was a cheap version and only partially identified Morthos’s sword as a +1 sword, leaving the impression that there more features yet to be uncovered.

	Disgruntled from the inferior Identify spell, the group headed off to ask around to see if there might be any more mages in town. Orich grumbled about being especially busy because his assistant has gone missing - <u>[[Kylar Birthwitch]]</u> (the councillors nephew). The only mage he knew in the village was ~~Basil~~ the Bizarre, though he knew Paumine Sandlewood was a druid and that there was a priestess (<u>[[Isperil Lightwind]]</u>) in the local chapel that could both cast spells but that might not be the type of magic they were looking for. He suggested that there might be a magic user amongst the refugees and the Heroes of Fort Frostfell headed to the Safeharbour refugee camp.

	Passing through the squalid refugee camp, the group reached the more refined tents representing the nobles part of the camp, where they met <u>[[Cadica LeBlorne]]</u> - an arrogant snobbish fellow. Cadica indicates that they don’t have a mage in their retinue, but that there was a priest from Safeharbour in the refugee camp who could cast spells. He also indicates that they were trying to figure out how to improve their standing, since as refugees, they don’t have voting rights in the village - and really they ought to have more say about how the village is run.
