After resting, the Companions at the Outpost take stock of the items they found and prepare for the trip back to Hillsboro. The companions make it back to Hillsboro on Brightleaf the 2nd. It takes the a week of traipsing back and forth to get all of the equipment from the Outpost. As they return, Balan's retainers greet him and introduce themselves, Rathkar, his manservant, Draxan, his healer and cook, and Buruna, his squire.Brightleaf 3, 2321 AR
A new companion is brought to the Black Quartz by Landon, Virion is a Tuathi elf, and agrees to sleep in the basement with the retainers. It takes a few days for the Outpost Companions to sell some of the trinkets they found and purchase supplies. Elyot retires to her room for much of the week, poring over the recovered spellbook.Brightleaf 7
Late in the night, the party wakes to a scream of pain from Buruna, who stood guard in the common room. Rousing out of their beds, they find three cutthroats who have clearly been assigned to kill them. The companions take one of the cutthroats captive, and learn that they were sent by the Temple.Brightleaf 8
The next morning, the companions very visibly bring their captive and the two dead cutthroats to Maleon and Reynulf in Valbard Tower. Knowing that there are spies in Hillsboro, they take the long route through the center of town. Reynulf and Maleon send to Garym, who had already been notified by his apprentice. The party then fill them in on everything they learned at the Outpost, including the plan to rebuild the outpost as a base for the temple. Garym recognizes the eye symbol as the Temple of Chaos symbol. Reynulf and Maleon endorse the idea that the party rebuild the outpost, as a way to stop the temple from using it as a base. They agree to contact Tostig and recruit a dwarven architect for the rebuilding, and are willing to donate labor and building supplies from their own construction project to help with the effort. With one caveat, they would ask that some of their own loyal guards be housed at the outpost. They party also tells Maleon and Reynulf of the weapons cache they recovered and agree to donate some for the defense of the town. The companions also agree that because of their very visible defiance of the temple by parading the dead cutthroats through town, that they disappear for a while, and once they meet with the architect they will leave town and sneak back to the Outpost.Brightleaf 9
Brannon, Abebane, Connal, and Gymno return from confronting and defeating a newly-formed cult of Orcus at the request of Prelate Talisen. The two groups of companions exchange notes and stories long into the night, and the Outpost Companions detail their plan to disappear and move to the Outpost. The others agree to stay at the Black Quartz and provide a distraction ad also a defense against any other moves the Temple may make.Brightleaf 13
It takes a couple of days for Tostig to bring in a dwarven architect. He brings Dworvic Stoneforge over to the Black Quartz, and they agree to meet at the Outpost. That night, the Outpost Companions leave, Crasock laying some false trails, as if they went their separate ways, until they finally meet up at the Outpost the next morning.Brightleaf 14
The next day, waking in the secure room the bandits had used as a hideout, the companions were pleased to find that Gayrm had removed the giant lizard they left at the outpost. It was mid-day when Dworvic arrived with a few dwarven stonemasons. The dwarves agree to stay in the cellars while they worked.Brightleaf 22
It would take more than a week for Dworvic and his masons to plan out a possible rebuild for the first floor of the Outpost.
