The second day of uneventful travel so far. Jemna Gleamsilver chatted up Fynn, but after some small talk the conversation ran dry. She did stay close though. Fynn then notices another suspected cultist watching him an walks over to him with a mug of ale, claiming they know each other from the cultist camp, where Fynn was a hunter and left behind when the cultists abandoned their camp. This way, Fynn got the information that they are travelling to “the Roadhouse”.
In the evening Posmet makes Kaiya invisible again and she goes listening to the cultists talking about Fynn and claiming that he can not be a cultist because he neither wears regalia nor uses Tiamat’s greeting (Outstretched hand, “praise Tiamat”). For this reason they want to cut the wheel of Fynns wagon so he has an accident and gets left behin - or worse! Another information Kaiya can gather is that Rezmir got “one of the masks”, of which there are five overwall. He must be one of the inner circle of a person called Severin, and must be one of the Wyrmspeakers.
Kaiya tells this to Fynn and advises him to go over to the cultists again, but this time with the greeting. Fynn goes into offense mode and tells another cultist that cultist number one did not use Tiamat’s greeting. This cultist however has known cultist one all his live. Change of plan: Fynn tells cultist two his real name and that he does not trust the other cultist - THAT is why he didn’t greet. With his enormous convincing power cultist two now is convinced and tells Fynn that cultist one will be promoted to “Dragonwing” soon. He himself is a “Dragonclaw”. But why does Fynn not wear any regalia - he convinces him that he is extremely high ranking.
Thoredim meanwhile tries to talk to Jos, who is not very talkative. He does tell that he is from Thay, a far away land reigned by a Necromancer callef Szass Tam. Jos just tries to get as far away as possible.
At last, at the request of Fynn, Thoredim tries to chat up Jamna by inviting her to a round of ale, and after some small talk, awkwardness and finally intimidation she tells us to get together at the next breakfast and she will relay some interesting information to us about why she is so interested in our group. We plan that Posmet and Thoredim will sit together and if we conclude it to be save, the rest of the group to join.
Lunchtime is approaching and the caravan is passing the city of Westbridge. Right after, in some misty woods the horses are attacked by three Ettercaps and two giant spiders. A battle ensues with the F* Five win without issues.
