With Crimmor’s docks bustling and trade opportunities rising, the adventurers find themselves navigating more than just river routes—they’re now weaving through whispers, guild rules, and the long reach of those they’ve crossed. What began as a simple job is becoming something far more complicated.
Kalen and Jasmin met with Emric Toln at a tavern near the docks to further investigate the River Rats’ presence in Crimmor. Emric provided valuable insight, but during their conversation, Jasmin noticed two shady figures carefully watching them—she is now convinced they were agents of the River Rats, keeping tabs on the group.
Meanwhile, Armand scoured the city’s taverns and brothels, gathering information. He deliberately spread false rumors to a brothel madam, suggesting the surviving River Rat from the battle was actually the true killer—a story the madam is sure to spread quickly. During his crawl, Armand encountered an agent of the Shadow Thieves who delivered a clear warning: stealing is strictly prohibited in Crimmor unless sanctioned by the guild.
Arlan Mursk later approached the group, offering them positions within his fledgling trade company. Though the party remained non-committal, they agreed to a job escorting one of his wagons south along the Orc Road, hauling copper ingots and smoked meats to Purskul. Arlan instructed them to camp outside the city and wait five days for his arrival. The journey should take about three days.
Before departing, Hobrick finished loading Dorian’s barge with goods bound for Shatar. Hobrick carries with him a letter from Jasmin to Hester, sharing her struggles and growth since leaving home. In a quiet moment, Hobrick told Kalen he would need to report what had transpired, subtly reminding the party that their actions are not without oversight.
While camped with the caravan, the party met Gilly, a guard with another wagon. Gilly revealed to Armand that she was hauling candied pears out of Crimmor—technically restricted goods in large quantities—and planned to make a tidy profit selling them in Trademeet.
The party now rides toward Purskul, but the River Rats are hunting for information, and not all dangers will wait quietly on the road.
