Ostverk has been traditionally overseen by a Waldgraf, which is why Lord Deleveu bears that unusual title. Lord Deleveu can often be found relaxing here, when not at his manor to the east or in active service in the Mounted Borderers. The militia and foresters of this isolated community are often hard-pressed by evil humanoids of the Gnarley, and they have learned to be resourceful and independent. Ostverk is predominantly human, but supports a larger percentage of elves and gnomes than most cities in the viscounty. Almost certainly, the residents of Ostverk would count themselves loyal to Lord Deleveu first and to the viscount second. The hardy residents of Ostverk are technically part of Verbobonc, but many owe fealty to the forces of the Gnarley or to Her Fey Majesty of Celene. This isolated town is surprisingly substantial in size, and boasts a very strong militia. By late afternoon, you reach the town of Ostverk. To the west, they rise higher and less wooden, while to the east they gradually diminish into the woods of the forest. You travel throughout the day along the eastern edge of the Kron Hills. It's another clear, warm day (H:75/L:57) with a slight breeze. You awake the next morning, and continue your travels. The road continues south, and you should reach Osteverk tomorrow afternoon.Īfter passing an uneventful night at the inn, you get up, buy a small breakfast, and head back on the road south. You hear that it is populated by a mix of halflings and humans, and is known around here for its abundant hot springs. The road to the west heads to another village, Gallow's Corner, which lies at the head of a valley in the Kron Hills. There is a small village there, and you find a decent inn in the center of the village. By the end of the day, you reach another crossroads, with another road to the west. Continuing south, you are heading into new areas for all of you. The gnomes hail you as you pass, and you are relived that the gnomes seem to either not know of the events near Caustichlorinus's lair, or don't hold it against you. The western road heads to Kron and the Greenway Valley. You pass the small gnome village of Sheernobb, at the crossroads where the road branches. "Hey," he says when asked, "I can see in the dark now!" Everyone is now used to his new form, and Noot seems to like it even more than before. Rakk, Berenn, and Altan are all wearing their new dragon-scale armor, and Noot looks impressive in his new dragon-leather. "Good," says Isilme, not noticing the look that passed on Rakk's face. "I've been there," says Rakk, he face looking somewhat grim as he remembers. It is close to some well-known Suel Temple ruins at the edge of a swamp." "That's the location of the city on the map she was tapping. "It's a copy of the map Markessa was looking at," she says. She also produces a map, created by sage Betham in Verbobonc. I need to start developing a reputation out in the real world, she thinks. She will be wearing her dark green dragon armor and face mask while traveling. Isilme brings Gladriel on the trip (the elf we saved at the TOEE) and mentions we should stop and visit the lord who lives on the edge of the Celene and stay there for the night. "Very well, but if you change your mind we can always use a good archer." She stands on her tip toes and gives him a kiss on the cheek before releasing his hands and stepping away. He looks down, and you think you see tears for a moment. I hope you remember my words and when my business is concluded we should talk again."Īfter Berenn thanks him Hepla will come to Black Jay and take his hands in hers and say, "Thank you, on behalf of all of us. "Thank you for this generous gift Black Jay. "Perhaps they will come in handy on your journey." He gives Berenn a quiver with 10 +1 arrows. He seems more at peace, though his mind is still troubled. As you leave the inn, you encounter Black Jay. You begin your journey early, after a nice breakfast at the Inn of the Welcome Wench. The skies are clear, though there's a slight breeze still. The morning is chilly, about 51, though the high will climb to nearly 80. Vaddarra: Snow Elf Peakwarden/Wizard-Anagakok
