The Northlands Pt 6
From the Grove
After spending a quiet night resting around the World's Tree, the group awakens. Their first order of business is finishing the bag of holding, made from dragon scales and twine from the World's Tree. Once the ritual is complete, the scales within the bag spell out northern runes. As they depart, the group leaves the Silver Sickle on the cliff, unharassed by the eagles. They pass through the crevasse without incident. Once to the river, they make use of water breathing to flow with the currents to a better location. Corrigan's phantom steeds carry the group from the river towards the gate through the remainder of the day and into the night.
The Ravens
As the group sets up camp on an open hill, they are swarmed by an Unkindness of Ravens.

Promise made to Arrinder by Corrigan, written as they bargained.
The Gate
From their position on the hill, the group can see the Gate. They also notice the other group camped out nearby. Ellia rides her steed out to the far side of their camp and lights a couple of smokesticks. The hope is to draw the group away from the gate.
As Ellia circles back towards the gate and passes by the camp, she is spotted by the dwarf. As she continues to approach, she realizes that there are still 3 members of the group at the gate. She speak with the dwarf and asks to speak with Triabar, the paladin. Ellia demands assurances that they won't attempt to kill us this evening or on the morrow. Triabar swears the same on his religion.
As the groups gather, Triabar reveals that they had been to the grove and returned to the gate with fairies. They want to trade information for the mistletoe as they are in need of the merits.
We agree to share information concerning the individual or individuals out for Perazada...exact details will wait until all are back in Highmoon.
Corrigan opens the gate, the
New Warriors pass through, then Triabar's band.
Merits are rewarded by Sycron,
