2nd December 2023 In-game timeline: DR1489 Marpenoth 29 - Marpenoth 29 Our "Heroes" seem to have arrived at a cavern system that they hope this time is the correct one. At least there are people here, and they are being invited inside. Unfortunately their new-found 'friends' turn against them as soon as they are inside the torch-lit tunnels. The two humans they met outside turn quickly into human/wolf hybrids and start to attack the party. Mahtis and Carro were prepared for something to happen, and so are not surprised, but they are a little disappointed to find that their weapons prove ineffectual against the lycanthropes. What is worse, the werewolves have particularly nasty claw and bite attacks, and these seem to get through our "heroes" defences more often than they would like. What is even worse is that both Carro and Mahtis are bitten by their attackers and feel concerned when they sense some form of infection pass from the lycanthropes to themselves!

12th November 2023 In-game timeline: DR1489 Marpenoth 29 - Marpenoth 29 Our "Heroes" are heading for Moonfall cavern, where they hope to find the adult villagers, when they suddenly remember that they left something back at Elder Greylock's house - the area map. So they decide to head back to the village and steal that too. Back on the trail, they get a move on - it is mid-afternoon and in winter that means only a few hours of daylight remain. At the fork in the track they take the right path and eventually come upon a cave entrance. They cautiously approach, and check out the ground around the entrance, spotting some bear paw prints heading both into and out of the cave. As our "heroes" discuss their next steps, Mahtis hears some growling from within the cave, and as the group hurry to hide themselves, the dragonborn sees a large, bear-like creature approach the cave entrance from the inside and sniff around. The party is determined to get inside the cave, but

23rd October 2023 & 28th October 2023 In-game timeline: DR1489 Marpenoth 5 - Marpenoth 29 We rejoin our "Heroes" after a long out-of-game break, finding them in Neverwinter having returned from Abbey Isle and all spending time and money levelling up. Kandi, having completely forgotten his reason for being on this adventure when he gave his memories of Starshine to the Wise Woman, left the party to head home. Carro sent him back with a message to his parents about his progress (and to ask for money!). All have levelled up to Level 6 (Mahtis: level 1 fighter, level 5 druid). They did some shopping and some asking around about Moonfall, but not much information emerges - information on Moonfall seems mysteriously limited. Carro shows off his new, expensive outfit and braided hair, and then proceeds to borrow money from the rest of the group for the following week. Mahtis got a library card.  The party travels overland to Waterdeep by getting employed as guards for a caravan.
