A Clean Slate

by Dahlia Di Mare

* On the road to the town of Morland, our party met a caravan with a monk named Lothar driving. He was transporting ale to a town in the mountains.
* Lothar told us that the town had become prosperous due to a mining boom. There were ores, minerals and harvesting of a dead celestial brain to be had.
* Lothar advised to mention his name at the Red Dragon Inn.
* Entering Morland, we found that the town was divided in two as there was a huge mining operation in the middle. There was Morland and Morland East. The Elder Brotherhood was running the operation.
* Our party headed for the Red Dragon Inn and got free accommodation for the night in exchange for Petros' performance. Petros earned 110gp in tips from his bardic performance.
* Struth cased the room and was able to gather information about a lady named Sylvia. A meeting was arranged between the two to discuss the offloading of goods.
* Mal continued to be suspicious of the party and followed along quietly.
* Dahlia overhead conversation at a table with miners that one miner had mined a large part of the brain. Once sold, this would be enough to buy his freedom but most like he would be swindled of his treasure by the brotherhood and end up with nothing.
* While eating dinner, a man came in and informed everyone that there was an accident at the mines. This resulted in 5 deaths. He began to say it was foul play but changed mid-sentence to that there was a cave-in.
* Following the man back out, we watched the bodies be brought up and then hauled away to a building.
* Back at the Red Dragon, the rest of the night went well with no further event.
* The next morning, coming down for breakfast, there was a man dressed in the Elder Brotherhood garb talking with Lenny the bar owner. Dahlia listened into their conversation to learn that 5 able people were needed to work in the mine.
* Struth was approached by a beautiful well-dressed lady. She introduced herself as Sylvia and they moved to another table to discuss business. Another meet up was arranged with another person.
* At this stage. Lenny motioned for Dahlia to come over and proposed that our group should go and work in the mines to make a fortune. He needed an answer by nightfall.
* Dahlia put the idea to the group and it was agreed that we wait to see what Struth learned before a decision was made.
