Meeting Aldern Foxglove in Magnimar

Lamashan 24, 4708 – We went back to watch the Foxglove townhouse from sunrise. Late morning we noticed Aldern and Iesha go for a walk. Andrian decided to see if Aldern would recognize him. So, Andrian cross over to walk by Aldern and Aldern did recognize Andrian and invited him and us to dinner. We came back to the Foxglove townhouse to have dinner with Aldern and Iesha. At this time Andrian tried to expose them as frauds but had no luck doing this. Aldern invited us to stay the night but we declined. Aldern did invite us to return to talk more tomorrow. After leaving the townhouse we decided not to return to the inn we were staying at but to go to another one nearby.

Lasmahan 25, 4708 – We got up early to check out the Foxglove townhouse. As we waited for Aldern and Iesha to come down, Andrian searched the house for clues. He found a key hole in a decorative lion. He used the key we found at the Misgivings to open it. Inside here was 200pp and a ledger with notes about the financed of the Foxglove Manor. The notes indicating that one third was financed by an organization known as the “Brothers of the Seven”. There was also about a dozen entries labeled as “Iesha’s trip to Absalom” and each entry indicates that Aldern delivered 200gp every Oathday at midnight to a place referred as “The Seven’s Sawmill”. Andrian took those items before Aldern and Iesha came down. While we where dinning with them Andrian confronted Aldern about the fact that he claimed poverty but had a fortune hidden away. Once this fact was out in the open to out surprised Aldern and Iesha turned into some sort of grey skinned shape-shifting humanoids and attack us. The fight was not going our way until Carufinwe got in some deadly shot with his bow to turn the tide to save Andrian who had just fallen. We were able to save him before the creatures were able to kill him. Through our healing we saved Andrian life.

First day in Magnimar

Lamashan 23, 4708 – Andrian did stay out all night checking out what going on in Magnimar. He talked to Carufinwe more about what he found out. The rest of us went out to check the site and I wanted to find an armorer. I did and he had one that the buyer never came back for. It was still a little big for me but for the price it was well worth it. The armorer refitted for me even thou he did a poor job it fit me good. It will do until I can afford good dwarf armor. When we return we found that Carufinwe went to see Lord Justice Argentine. After waiting a long time and asking many times when he could be seen a Hellknght who does not like elves gave Carufinwe a brutal beating. We took care of Carufinwe wounds while Andrian attempt to see Lord Justice Argentine which he was able to do. The rest of the day to nightfall we went out to watch the boarded up Foxglove townhouse. Nothing on interest came up so we went back to the inn for the night.

Investigate leads us to Magnimar

Lamashan 19, 4708 – We went to talk to Sheriff Belor regarding the skinsaw murders. We told him all about the going on at the Misgiving and that Aldern was the one doing the skinsaw murders being a ghoul himself. Aldern seem to have three different personalities the first one was calm as the living Aldern, the second was one who wanted power and as a ghoul could control some of that power and the last a blood thirity ghoul. After we told the sheriff what we found he introduced us to a merchant with news of similar murders in Magnimar. Everything was the same except the lower jaw was not removed instead facial skin was removed from the victim. After the meeting we decide to go to Magnimar and investigate.

Lamashan 20 – 22, 4708 – We talk to the merchant traveling to Magnimar and ask if we could travel with them. They agreed and we had a quiet journey to Magnimar. I tried to talk to some of the other guards about Torag but did not get very far with them. The ones that listen have a seed to some day be a follower of Torag. We arrived late on the 22nd and found an inn to stay for the time in Magnimar. Andrian wanted to go check out the site in Maginmar will the rest of slept.

Clean up of the Misgiving

Lamashan 17 & 18, 4708 – Andrain and Riley wanted us to go thru the house looking for clues and more valuables. I agreed to go with them. We did find many items of interest and even some magic items. We will probably have to take them to Magnimar to sell them I do not see anyone in Sandpoint buying them. I sent the next day setting up to climb into the well to get the rotted flesh out of the well. Once I got the flesh out I pulled out over fifty buckets of water and dump it over the cliff. That should help clear the well of the rotten flesh that Andrain tossed into the well a few days ago.
