strange waters

The evening at Strulduk’s is uneventful, aside from their own little adventures. Fix walked about the estate casually checking out the area and talking with the guards. The guards informed him that Strulduk hosts a dinner quarterly and occasionally has guests, but mostly remains private. He found his way to the library and found a couple of books about the gods of previous ages. In one, he found the name of the Raven Queen, but could not read it directly. At one point, finding Kadath also walking around the estate, Fix asked him if he could read it. Kadath also could not directly read the name.

Meanwhile, Forsythe, in spider form, investigated the vault. He noticed several traps along the way, but was stopped by the magical orb that tracked motion. After thinking through several options, he returned to his room. Evangeline stayed in her room and began to work with her nanites, attempting to program them.

In the morning, they have some breakfast then head out to locate Jhorn, the shaman with the spear that Jenik had mentioned. While traveling there, they passed close enough to the Obelisk of the Water God to see the upside down waterfall. They continued to travel northeast and started to experience wild colors which affected Kadath and Fix a bit more, causing some disorientation. Eventually they made it over the Black Riage mountains and took the evening to rest.

The next day, the group traveled northward and located two orc scouting groups being joined through mediation of a shaman. After watching them come to an agreement, Fix then approached and spoke with Jhorn. Jhorn did not recognize the name Jenik, but did recognize Garon. After some discussion a compromise was made that Jhorn would travel with them to Uxphon to confront Jenik there.

Upon entering Uxphon, the group quickly realized the segregated caste system. Fix located some members of the Jagged Dream and took the group to their estate. Lord and Lady Methuk welcome them graciously and inform Fix that several servants also know of the organization. One of the servants, Illiphyn, was sent out to see if Jenik was currently at home as Fix began to deliberate how to upset this caste system.
