3rd Month (The Gale), days 12 through 16

The PCs were on a caravan heading northeast toward the town of Breezeway when it was attacked by a number of figures wearing black, hooded cloaks. Those attackers took down all who were part of the caravan. Luckily, the PCs managed to self-stabilize, but no one else was as fortunate. (The adventure officially begins here.)

The PCs awoke and found the bodies of the other passengers, but they also saw one of the passengers, a woman named Nyma, killed execution-style with a sign hung upon her which simply said "witch". The PCs survived an attack by some wild dogs then continued onto Breezeway.

They arrived in town to find a large crowd surrounding a debate between the mayor (Nasa Grey) and a member of the Trakias Wolf Trade Emporium, Keyvoos, debating the power of the city versus the power of the guilds. The PCs were spotted by members of the Dark Horse mercenary guild. When two of the PCs broke off from the rest, they were attacked. However, the PCs survived this assault and the surviving atacker, Jalend Vaso, fled the scene while onf of his guards (Ocadm) was taken into custody.

The PCs arranged another meeting with Jalend and this time they defeated his guard Ocadm again, then they were able to find out that Dark Horse was specifically hired to find Nyma by a person named Lyte. Lyte believes Nyma to be a witch who cursed his son and killed him with a disease.

The PCs found more information about Nyma's faction, the Silver Tree Witchdom, from a woman named Tidha. Now, the PCs are preparing to seek out Lyte.
