General Summary

Day Twenty-Nine Through Thirty-One

Tyjit plans to meet up with Hjolgarn after she sees Beyd successfully to Waterdeep. Dillion maps ore locations during his down time. Ben is watching Vogin talk to himself.

Day Thirty-Two

After a miserably wet, cold day that promises to become an even wetter, freezing night, the caravan arrives at a large well-known inn situated along the Trade Way. Upon entering the warm, comfortable common room to make arrangements for the night, the innkeeper tells the party that the entire inn is sold out; all the private rooms are taken and the common room is reserved for a private party. The party only sees a small group at the inn, an aristocratic judge and his entourage of three human dilettantes. They smirk at the characters while making comments such as “sleep tight” and “have a pleasant evening” followed by insults muttered under their breath about the characters’ mud-spattered clothing and low breeding. A fight breaks out between the posing aristocrats and the party. Turns out, these are thugs having a grand time at the expense of others. They've got the wife and youngest of the inn keeper restrained upstairs and threatened to kill them if the inn keeper didn't play along with their little game. Godfrey manages to subdue them without bloodshed and the party questions them. They mention that they lost their money and wares amid some ruins a ways down the road to three hag sisters.

Day Thirty-Five

The party locates the ruins the masquerading bandits mentioned. They managed to make their way inside. The crumbling temple seems to be inhabited, not only by the hag sisters, but also a number of oozes. They engaged in a harrowing battle during which there were some wild happenings. Alas, poor Godfrey has gotten to know his companions more than he'd ever liked. Post battle, the party discovered markings related to Cyric. Godfrey harvested the hearts and heads from the hags.
