Waterdeep to the Mere of Dead Men

GleamSilver, a gnome who joined the caravan along with the Red Wizard, foiled an attempt on Sir Aberard's life - with chicken bones no less! Why is he helping us? He seems to know a bit about us, and is interested in the contents of the wagons...



We do not get much time to investigate Waterdeep, as we simply travel straight through to the North side. Leobin, Vlad, Sir Aberard and I keep our ears open, and discover that Naeritar is in the Mere of Dead Men. It was abandoned, but built by a 1/2-elf wizard. There are reports of a 1/2-black dragon with ~20 people who passed through Waterdeep about 10 days ago.

We travel now with the High Road Charter Co, to bring goods to Neverember, Lord of Neverwinter, ostensibly to help with the re-building process they are undertaking. I had heard some rumours of great destruction at the hands of some volcano, and that they were re-building. In my humble opinion, I would have recommended that they simply abandon the site, but it matters not to me.

We reach what I would call a "construction warehouse" at Carnath, run by a 1/2-orc named Bog Luck. The cultists unload their wagon into the warehouse's secure storage area. There are cultists mingling with the common folk, and we stick around long enough to get into trouble. To make a long story short, it appears Bog is in on the gig, and we discover the goods have already been "stolen" and transported on, probably to Naeritar!

We follow the trail out of Carnath...
