We head to Bokpentok. Count Herotha is in his castle. He has no heirs and is in his early 50s. We're lead into where there's a central fountain to the biggest Inn in town, The Guilded Shield. We're treated well, at least so far. A soldier shows up at the Inn and invites us up to the castle for the evening.

Oathar heads back and finds some presents for the count. A +10 sword and +10 shield, plus a couple fine bottles of Griffin wine.

Walking around town, it's pretty busy, good economy, only a temple to Meynestra, not any Orhanian gods. There's a big caravan track, and a nice fountain in the middle of town.

We head to the castle and are introduced to Count Hurotha. We introduce ourselves as Lady Alynna, Brother Imre of the Church of Eissa, and Haeraan, Knight of Riannes, Lord Admiral Oathar Mealora. We present our presents. He seems pleased, but not overly impressed.

After a bit of small talk, the priestess Bandara arrives. She's a tall severe looking woman who comes and stands next to the count.

After much sparring with the priestess, we come to an agreement where no extra temple will appear within the current city limits. (At least, not yet.. Mwu-ha-ha-ha...)

We have dinner and are invited to spend the night.

We head back to SV to arrange for official invitation. We "discuss" the matter with Baron James. He's worried that we don't really know what he wants in advance. Hmmm...

We send Imre back in the next morning to figure out what he wants...

Orhan 3 Day 25 TE 6063

Imre heads back to figure out what it is the count wants.

He reaches under his shirt an pulls out a silver locket. Inside is a portrait of a young woman and a lock of hair. "I want the woman I loved and the son I never saw." How long? 20 years. Where? The last time I saw them was here. I want them back. I wasn't going to be allowed to marry her, so his family arranged for her to go away. I got a brief letter from her when he was born and never heard from her again.

Her name was Saera, the son's name was Mikal. Imre examines the letter and finds it was written in Orellian 20 odd years ago. Imre takes some of the hair and gets a copy of the Picture via Kyrik.
