Start: Wilderness just outside of Redridge

The party returns to Redridge and brief Davus on what they found in the ruins, and what happened with Randal Lackman. Davus asks the group to take Randal back to Sundabar with them. While the adventurers were gone, a guard watching the sheep saw the beast devouring the livestock. He gave the description to the party, though the creature didn’t sound familiar. Kai left to consult Sammis the Green on what manner of creature it may be. Fei and Theodar plan to set an ambush for the creature, but that night they receive an anonymous note telling them that a priestess of Auril is responsible for the death of the paladin and the village’s livestock, and that the priestess can be found in a tower to the north after a tenday has passed. The next day a caravan of Zhentarim comes into town. Two purple-robed mages break into Jerren’s house to search it, and Theodar confronts them and forces them to leave. That night Davus tells the adventurers that they should leave before the Zhentarim kill them, so they return to Sundabar. Meanwhile, Kai is training with Sammis the Green and learning more about the area. On the way to Sundabar, Fei and Theodar meet Kerrin Longreach, a ranger of the Icewatch, riding his gigantic ice lizard north. They also meet a group of Argent Legion troops heading towards Citadel Felbarr led by Gardus Pellwater.

Back in Sundabar, Theodar reports to the Hall of Everlasting Justice and is assigned a squire, Heardan. He is asked to go investigate the tower, even though Justicar Marlus agrees that it is probably a trap. Fei spends time studying and preparing magic. While staying at Baldiver’s, the adventurers meet Celowin. He agrees to accompany the party to investigate the tower if they will accompany him to Beorunna’s Well afterwards. They also hear rumors about some white dragons over Everlund, and a wizard of the Zhentarim destroying part of a village.

After a few days in town, the party leaves for Citadel Felbarr and then the tower. Along the way they see a heavily-guarded caravan carrying arms and armor. In the southern foothills of the Rauvin mountains they are attacked by a wolf pack led by a worg. They arrive at Citadel Felbarr and meet Gardus Pellwater, who takes them to the gate just when Kai shows up.
