Up past the halfling Shireland. We sign the papers.

Shopped for magic swords. There's a +1 sword available for 2000 GP, more than I can afford.

Bross pays 100 GP to have the black chainmail identified that he took off the skeleton in the pit.

Kevlar tries to get a deal on trading away a scroll of protection from magic for a claok of elvenkind.
He makes the deal by adding in some magic arrows.

There is a fierce spell of gusty winds early in the day.

Encountered a pack of dogs on the road.

Uneventful night.

Next day dawns, we're a day out frof Falcon's Hollow.

Weather starts to turn towards rain.

We come to a ferry at the edge of Falcon's Hollow.

Arriving in tgwon, we talk to the healer and hear of Laurel the herbalist and people worried she has been poisoning them,
but it seems unlikely. We use one of the three scrolls on the magistrate.


Laurel explains the illness afflicting the town is fungal and has a recipe from her grandmother made with
three herbs that might help. The oldest tree in the forest has one part, and we might find help in finding it at the nearby lumbermen's camp. One is a dwarf delicacy, Ironbloom.
Rat's tail. - witch Ola Zamila (sp?) might know where it can be found.

Go to the lumber camp, looking for Mylin who might know the first herb's location.

Mylin gives us a map and the info we need to find things and we give him one of the last two
scrolls.
