Nola 5th - Nola 10th (15 campaign days)
Vivianna left in the dead of night, acquiring a fast horse and making for destinations unknown (though Donatella had her suspicions). She promised to rejoin the group in a week's time.
Aleksi, Maia, Donatella, Theros, Senator DeWitt, and the cloaked gnoll Seddar boarded The Dancing Hut and left early on the fifth, beginning a five-day journey across the Saindoron Plains to Hawkmoon. Situated in the middle of the grasslands and flint hills, Hawkmoon lacked in obvious importance. Yet the elves had marked it as the site of the second Trouble, so the party made haste. If they could catch Overseer Nulfur in the act, they would neutralize the systematic undermining of the nation.
Along the way, the hungering curses of both Theros and Aleksi demanded attention or the two would die of starvation and transform into horrible monsters before they reached Hawkmoon. Horrible monsters were unavoidable, however, as on the plain twin exorcisms led to the creations of hideous squirrel-demons. They were put down, but not without a lot more effort, magic, and luck than anyone expected.
The wendigo was finally defeated.
On the fifth day, around high noon, Hawkmoon came into sight. Strangely, among the hill, the mine, the academy, the eclectic bunching of shacks, houses, and shoppes, not a single soul was in sight. It looked like a ghost town... until something, or someone, caught Donatella's eye in the high, yellow grass.
Unbeknownst to the others, Maia saw someone too.
