Asks how it was joining the [[Scavenger's League of Fortuna|League]] as a foreigner, and if the job helps him find glory. He asks to join the [[Scavenger's League of Fortuna|League]] to have the same opportunity. ## From 5th to 6th of [[Germtide, 1049|Germtide]] * The party buys [[Brine Rapids Gazette - 5th of Germtide|the local newspaper]] from a kid selling it at [[The Wise Rat]]. * [[Claudia Renforth]] (cited in the [[Brine Rapids Gazette - 5th of Germtide|newspaper]]) approaches [[Morgano Beltrão|Morgano]] in [[The Wise Rat]] and extends an opportunity: * The dragon [[Azurefang]] took over a mine from the [[Fortunan Mining Consortium]] in the [[Salt Hills]].

I recommend the [[The Drunken Rattlesnake]]. Quite interesting portraits hanging on their walls. I wonder if they ever saw someone that might interest you.* > >*With this whole thing happening in [[Castle Ember]], I assume you and your friends have about a week to enjoy your stay there, before the [[Knights of the Green Cloak]] overrun the town, preparing to cross the river into war.* > * The party spends additional downtime before the Baron's dinner. >[!info] Rumor found (20% a lie) >[[Joppyr]]: You pick up conversation with some traveling adventurers and they tell you they are about to head on an expedition. They've been in contact with a nobleman in the village of [[Strix's Nest]] about a lost dwarven fortress in the [[Burnt Pass]], 20km east of [[Moon Lake]]. They say it has been taken by orcs long ago and it was meant to be built over a crystal grotto. They are worried about going around [[Castle Ember]], but excited for the prospect of treasure. >[!info] Rumor found (not a lie) >[[Drakus Thunderheart|Drakus]]: You pick up a few games with local army men and a few knights working for the local lords. Some of them have been to [[Kaagunud]] recently, taking some gang-member they caught in the roads to the prison the army manages in that town. They had to spend the night and their usual place was full, so one of them got to stay at the Drunken Rattlesnake. They say the innkeeper looked shaken, as if they saw a ghost or something. The most they got out of the innkeeper is that they had kicked someone out a few days before for bad behavior, and they were worried it could go back to haunt them. The innkeeper also didn't want to press charges or anything, so it sounded sketchy to them. >[!info] Rumor found (not a lie) >[[Drakus Thunderheart|Drakus]]: You also get some information about [[Castle Ember]] from someone that was stationed there a few years ago. The castle was quite important to the fight against the Lucians, and it was already old and dilapidated at that time. The barony never used their budget to restore it as they didn't foresee needing it in combat anytime soon after the [[Reign of Terror]], having only a couple soldiers stationed to keep bandits away. Rumor has it that there are still magical treasures hidden in the castle, but nobody stationed there ever dared to look for because it is also haunted. * [[Morgano Beltrão]] deciphered the [[Flagbearer Diary]] and the [[To Summon Rodagog the Betrayer|scroll]] found at [[Roc's Peak]]. * [[Morgano Beltrão|Morgano]] identified that the higher-echelon of the [[Flagbearers]] had made pacts with devils to betray the [[Tajará]] and help in their conquest. * The scroll was a copy of the ritual [[To Summon Rodagog the Betrayer]]. * [[Itxaro]] visits [[Kaagunud]] looking for someone to help him train how to wear the [[Mithral Armor]]. He finds [[Irundila Khundruk]], a friendly potty-mouth blacksmith that accepts to help him out. They also drink too much and cause trouble with the a local lieutenant of the [[Imperial Army]]. # Pictures * [Instagram Post](https://www.instagram.com/p/DDPuB0ptdOs/?img_index=1)
