1,200 xp for dealing with Nugrah the Decrepit


That's 480 xp for Jonah and Aeric, 880 xp for the rest of the PCs. Except for Maladan, whose player earned him another 400 xp roleplaying bonus for navigating some tricky moments with his character. Good job!


In addition to this, substantial wealth can be recovered in the remains of the Stag Lord's Fort. This pales in comparison, however, with the potential to be found in a little piece of paper that just arrived from Restov....

... a new charter.

Wind and wave, both gender we,
Ever changing the pairing be,
Wild woman or Old Man of the Sea,
The storms of winter or normalcy,
Avoid they wrath, or be pruned from the tree!
