19th June 2013

The party rolls into Barcanton, and Strong Sardram bids farewell and continues on his way to Netris.

The local inn called The Roving Bard is run by a friendly man by the name of Jenson Pulley, who upon recognising the Sylvie and Carolus questions the party about the

whereabouts of their father. Jenson calls his wife, Fanny in and the children run to her obviously happy to see a familiar face.

Following 'The Telling of the Tale', Jenson confirms that the childrens Mother is in Dorduk, and arranges rooms for the party, including the Prince Suite for Linden. Andrei sweet talk Jenson into free stabling for the all, but Mary nearly scuppers the deal with a demand for free food as well.

A very generous lunch is served in in a well maintained private area, with Linden being served noticably finer meals.

Mary enquires after the children and discovers that Fanny and Jenson have decided that they should be handed over the local priesthhod who will transport them to thei

Mother in Dorduk. Mary is not sure if this is for the best and asks to speak with the head priest - Cerndrik, who agrees to talk to the group later in the afternoon.

Cerndrik arrives on time, along with a plate mail wearing guard. After recounting their tale, Andrei and Mary discuss options with Cerndrik. HE is of the opinion

that the children should stay until they could accompany the next pilgrimage to Dorduk in a month or so's time.

In the middle of discussions the guard, a Paladin whispers soemthing Cerndriks ear that disturbs him and he steps back to cast a spell. The target of his spell, Andrei, is accused of carrying that which is evil however in a panic he cannot think what it could be. The Paladin grabs Andrei by the arm while everyone else tries to figure out just what is going on.

As the priest continues his demands to reveal the evil presence, Andrei starts to strip until the Amulet of Malash looted from the crypt is revealed.

A tense standoff lasted for until an agreement was reached - Linden would study the artifact in the temple to learn what he could, and then turn it over to Cerndrik for cleansing. It would then be returned to Andrei if he still desired it.

As everyone relaxes Cerndrik calls for Jensen to serve wine...
