Baldur's Gate to Waterdeep

My journal has sat idle these past few weeks, and so I am forced to recount our journey from memory...

After about a week at Baldur's Gate, our contact, Ackyn, informs us that the cultists have been sighted. We get ourselves hired on by Achreny, transporting fur to Waterdeep, to blend into the mass caravan that is heading North with the black-robed cultists.

Suffice it to say, the journey was long, and surprisingly dangerous. Yes, we encountered orcs and ogres (the largest attack Achreny has seen!), and spiders and ettercaps, but the most surprising was the multiple attempts at Sir Aberard's life - poison attempts!

At Daggerford, the complement of our caravan changes, and it appears a tattooed individual joins - perhaps a Red Wizard of Thay!?

As we camp, I would estimate we are 80% of the way to Waterdeep.
