# Journal
## [[Itaiuba]], Afternoon, 28th of [[Germtide, 1049|Germtide]] ([[⛅ Overcast]])
* The party checks out the grave of [[Gilberto Ojuara]] in the local cemetery. [[Morgano Beltrão|Morgano]] detects a faint aura of abjuration magic coming from the grave. [[Itxaro]] sees musical notes inscribed in the tombstone and tries to follow with his drums, despite not being able t read partiture.
* They pay their bill in [[Odete's Corner]] and in the city market where the cart was parked and head out to [[Strix's Nest]] at night.
## Night, 28th of [[Germtide, 1049|Germtide]]
* [[Itxaro]] is navigating through the [[Wolf Wood]] through the stars, but the canopy makes it hard to follow. Ahead, [[Joppyr]] on scouting duty finds that their route through a recess in the woods has been blocked by a fallen tree. [[Morgano Beltrão|Morgano]] is on watch, and starts seeing cold blue eyes looking at them from the darkness of the forest. The cart is surrounded!
* Ghouls and wights dressed in ancient [[Flagbearers|Flagbearer]] clothes attack the party, headed by a mysterious knight with a black veil riding a [[Headless Mule]]. [[Morgano Beltrão|Morgano]] throws a fireball that starts clearing the undead and reveals that the rider resembles [[Lord Arthur Valleysworth]]. [[Glamdur “Gramps” Torhondîr|Gramps]] and [[William Correia e Silva|William]] join to defend the party.
* Following the orders of the mysterious knight, the undead continue the assault. More wights and ghouls come into view, including an ogre zombie. The party focuses on the mysterious knight, that approaches the cart with a burnt veil and the party identifies as an undead [[Lord Valleysworth]]. It pulls a scroll of teleportation and escapes alongside his [[Headless Mule]] steed.
>[!recite] [[Lord Valleysworth]]
>It seems like you've been underestimated.
* [[The Horses]] are startled and the party can't control them in time. Their force breaks the wooden shaft that is strapped to the saddles. The ogre zombie attacks and kills [[The Horses|Pedro]] and [[The Horses|Reinaldo]] runs away when [[Itxaro]] tries to take the reins.
* The party gather themselves to defeat the rest of the undead near the torchlight of the cart. [[Joppyr]] and [[William Correia e Silva|William]] face the ogre giant around the corpse of [[The Horses|Pedro]]. [[Itxaro]] and [[Morgano Beltrão|Morgano]] fights off ghouls from the driver's seat of the cart,while in the darkness behind them, [[Glamdur “Gramps” Torhondîr|Gramps]] fistfights a wight.
* With the undead defeated, the party members divide themselves to deal with the current situation: [[Itxaro]] runs after [[The Horses|Reinaldo]] to calm him down and bring him back, while [[Morgano Beltrão|Morgano]] fails to find a way to clear the path ahead, and [[Joppyr]] sets up camp in an area full of [[Ticks]], causing another setback when they wake up the next day.
## 1st of [[Flowertide, 1049|Flowertide]] ([[🌞 Sunny]])
* The luck of the party changes slightly in the morning: [[Morgano Beltrão|Morgano]] devises a way to use lever action to remove the tree trunk blocking the way, while [[Itxaro]] mends the wood shaft of the cart to tie it back to [[The Horses|Reinaldo]]. [[Joppyr]] burns away his ticks with a torch and buries [[The Horses|Pedro]] nearby.
* In the afternoon, the party is able to navigate their way out of the woods. In the cart, [[Itxaro]] and [[Morgano Beltrão|Morgano]] deal with the ticks on their bodies.
* They arrive in [[Strix's Nest]] in the early afternoon. They head to the local tavern and learn a bit about the town: They've been preparing for war ever since the invasion of [[Castle Ember]]. The city has plenty of charcoal pits and a minority of [[Seeker|Estelmites]] escaping the fall of [[Ungwêmár]]. Some charcoal workers are missing, and some suspect it was orcs attacking in the night.
* The party spends the night at the [[Beak and Feather]].
