  Village of Skola Vale, Skola Vale The Dark Rain Forest, Kampos     SAS reveals that one of her Letters spoke of her father being held and the party believes he might be held at the keep nearby that the Elder would like cleared out.   She speaks of how he has long been gone, since she was young.   Shadow also seeks out a leathersmith as Arktos has outgrown his Armor. She was thinking a saddlebag/saddle thing. They also discuss the Blood Hands and how they have grown in size since the party last was on the Material Plane.   She paid 30 gp for Arktos saddlebags made out of the old Armor.   They go to the Elder's keep to check on the Adventurer Class Airship of the Vale, v.2.   In trying to restore it they had to use some outside resources. Cormin Bogletigle Neyer is a Gnome that specializes in Gem Magic.   and Morenars Neyers is a half Orc who owns some local mines. He locked them into a conract to restore the ship restoration, but there was.a clause in the contractthat seems to have actually made it his ito some degree. Unless the party uses the ship for a mission to visit another planet and satisfy the clause. He wants them to test it off-planet, visit another planet, and do a recon job.     met up with the Elder of the Dawngreets, Morenars Neyers and Cormin Bogletigle Neyer at the gate as they exit.   told the mission is all they need to claim the ship and they have 6 months to do this.   the keep is 12 hours following the river (thick overgrowth) so .     3 days by road with this.   traveling -- 1 nothing happens buit of travelers and commerce   1st watch see a silhoute of a large bird crossing and shadowing the moon. 100 ft wingspan, carrying a cow.   Bastion Bladesinger int check: a Roc flying southeast feathers can be used for some Crafting.
