Securing the Raven's March pt 6

* During the process of calculating the armed forces available to the human rulers of the Raven's march, I found that I had under-titled the human rulers. For the rulers to have the forces available to them that I envisioned they should, I needed to upgrade the size of the realms. Thus Barons Valerio and Grunwald are now Marquis. And Marquis Hallvard is now a Count. This makes sense, allowing for the small forts on the maps to be ruled by Barons. I will not re-edit the previous posts, but will use the new titles moving forward.

The party arrived in Rythey Tower, and received an audience with the Court Wizard Azarius. They explained what they had found of the goblins and what had happened. Azarius found this interesting, but explained there was currently nothing to be done about it. Count Hallvard had made a call to arms in the realm. There was a looming Troglodyte Incursion from the south, and Hallvard intended to meet it head-on. The party was paid their reward, and dismissed.

At this time, Trebor parted ways with the party. He had been seeking adventure, but had found far more than he desired. Trebor took Trouser with him, as well as Erick Celtigar's Shield, and returned to Westbrook. 

This left Korian the Bard, Osparagus the Wizard, Ogden the Fighter, and Aalis the explorer in the party.

The group had acquired some magic items during their dungeon delve, and decided to go to Ravenholm, the largest city in the March, and seat of Count Hallvard, to try to sell them.

The party decided to cut cross-country through the forests, instead of sailing around on the river. A journey of 3 days, they met wild boars twice. However, they kept their distance and avoided provoking the territorial beasts.

Let's go around, shall we?

The group arrived in Ravenholm with little incident. They were able to sell some of their more expensive loot, and Osparagus found he was ready to learn some new spells. Thus it was decided that the party would stay in Ravenholm for a month. The wizard would learn his new spells, and Korian would look for more hirelings.
