Session Summary
After running into Ivan Ivanson, the Thundering Jaimar decide to go off road to help hide their tracks. They run into gnomish house, then parts of Taer's tribe. Taer's tribe was heading north for the meeting grounds with other horse tribes, but was going to bypass Valkat and head through an underground passage. The party caught a ride to Valkat with the tribe, and ends up buying three horses from them.

Outside of Valkat there were masses of people trying to get in. The party poses as some traveling clerics looking to help with the situation. They convince the guards to let them in, but they each have to feed at least one person besides themselves each day, and cure disease on two other people per day (five and ten castings for the party). They are led to that visiting temple, where a halfling cleric of Helm updated them on the basics of the disease: three days of vomiting, followed by death. Those that are cured sometimes become sick again. And it started near the docks, around a month ago.

Paolo and Taer stuck around and help with the sick, while Lu, Barrakas, and Masina checked in with the local merchant's guildhall, and she gets one room for the party. They are willing to put the horses in the stable, as there is room for them. They heard rumors of ghost pirates at the docks in the early morning hours, then headed to Ilya Goga's office. Ilya, a childhood friend of Barrakas' from summer camp, gives the party a rundown of their options for creating a contract with the devil.

The party meets back up at the merchant's guild for the night, where they retired to their very cramped quarters to discuss their findings and got some rest.
