About the Town

Lucky Luke and Merrick followed Ober the Reader to the White Keep at the town castle. There Ober conferred with an older women while Luke and Merrick waited with a clerk at the front desk. Beyond they could see the library stacks: the city's records. Ober arranged for a guard detail to watch the Wight's nest and for the Wights to be recaptured once they returned.

While Luke and Merrick were busy, Savario and Selwyn returned to Dorg's shop and extracted the 500gp reward for finding Krag's body from him.

The party met up back at the mausoleums. Grunt was found in a half dug grave in the new cemetery. Unconscious and worse for wear but not yet dead. He managed to stand and fight off the Wight somehow before collapsing. Selwyn gave him a healing potion to get him back on his feet.

The party retired to the Saucy Mermaid for the night to recover. A much needed rest.
The adventurers regrouped and collected money for a few more of the bodies found in the Goblin's storage. Dorg told Selwyn that the marks on the (too good for the Goblins) weapons, the long sword +1 and a few daggers were from Dvark Fireborn, the weaponsmith around the corner from Dorg's blacksmith shop.

Later that day, the party arrived at the Temple of Kamelius prior to Krag's funeral. They were met by Larwyn, one of the Temple's Adepts who, after some discussion, showed them the store rooms. There, burlap sacks were stored matching the ones the Goblins had used for giving bodies to the Pale Man. While Luke distracted the Temple Adept, Savario found more coins matching the strange vintage of the ones found behind the alter in the mausoleum. He also swiped the records book from the room.

Strange Coins

Larwyn led the group through the maze of ancient hallways within the Temple to the Master of Stores, Torgath, where the group asked about the missing sacks. It was clear that the Master knew of the losses but was both covering his ass by not investigating and not too concerned as many of the missing stores went to those in need. Ober, as his direct boss, had authority of the store rooms, though they were not tightly guarded.

Krag's funeral was held. Dorg, his father, was well liked and many nice things were said to a large group of approximately 100 people. Ober presided over the ceremony. Krag's body was carried in contained in a nice coffin for the ceremony and whisked away to be prepared for the final rights afterwards.

On the grand steps of the Temple, surrounded by mourners, the group had a discussion with Ober about Tyrus. It came out that Ober knew of Tyrus through dealings with him in rare books. Tyrus brought such items into the city and Ober was an eager buyer. Ober gave some vague contact information on how to reach Tyrus in the east side of the city.

The party retired to the Saucy Mermaid to examine the records book they had stolen and to figure out where their next pay check was coming from, given that all the outstanding rewards had now been collected.
