Welcome to Elsir Vale!

Well, it seems to be a grim situation, as we follow Bifur and Bofur and their prisoner off to the Hammersmith Holds. They're firm but fair, it seems.

Anyway, other than Oppillaa being a prisoner, we've been travelling through some very lovely country. We came down this old dwarven road (called "The Dwarfroad" for some reason) through the Wyrmsmoke Mountains and onto another road called "Old North Road". We crossed over Skull Gorge (pretty!) and into the beautiful Elsir Vale. We spent one night at Drellin's Ferry, then Terrelton, and down to the Wyvernwatch Mountains to Hammerfirst Holds.

I have been to this area before, but not for 20 years. Maybe when this business is sorted out we can go visiting. At the moment we've come to a small settlement outside the dwarven fortifications. They have a large moat filled with crocodiles, and it seems we have to ride the crocodiles to get across. That'll be exciting! We have to leave the wagons here, but we'll take some snake oil and the Princess's spell books and so on.

Hmm... it looks like there are some monkeys here which are going to carry our things for us. Or are they trying to steal it?

Oppillaa Off to Jail?

These two dwarves (Bifur and Bofur) told us that Oppillaa is wanted for "Desertion" and "Dereliction of Duty". Which seems to mean that she was supposed to return to Hammerfist Holds after visiting Fazzell but she came with us instead and now she's in trouble about it. Oh well, it looks like we're all off to Hammerfist Holds!

Garm has told us that he'll be staying here - his job is to look after roads, not to gallivant inside mountains. Oh well... maybe we'll see him again one day. The dwarves have told me they'll let me sell snake oil, so I've got business to see to.

Oppillaa Arrested!

Two big burly dwarves have just come in and taken Oppillaa away! Oh goodness me! More details as they come to hand!
