Rise of the Runelords

Some time passes while individuals shop for items, wait for D'Argo and Edwin to craft some, see contacts, take short trips, etc.  Some may take a short trip back to Ardrinn. Others may go as far as Greyhawk.  To follow up on the lead(s) you have, at least Wolfgar heads back to some Dwarven enclaves near Ventnor to learn more about the Vekker brothers.

During the down time, you learn the following:

• The Vekker brothers established a base camp near where a tributary enters the Karazon somewhere deep in the Griff Mountains.
• Reports have Hextorites sending parties into the Tenh.
• Xin-Shalast is located on the towering Mhar Massif, which is itself located at the end of a valley at the headwaters of the river Avah.
• Leaders of 'He of the Blinding Light' have issued a fatwa against any travel in the Pale, Tenh, Bandit Kindgoms and Barbarian Lands for worshipers of Hextor, Ethythnul and Incabulos.

[Others may have more specific and/or detailed info which will be passed directly.]

Once all are back together, the party will head back north to Nevond Nevend to provision for a trip up the Karazon to find the Vekker Brothers' camp. The map below shows some locations and give an idea of distances.
