Assassin at Woodbridge

In Woodbridge?, the group — specifically Freya? — ran afoul of an assassin. The encounter left Freya in a coma and Elder Haelfur? dead (Elder Haelfur was the highest ranked Mendicant clergy in Draysen County?). The warriors hired the female woodsman Isolde? to track the killer down since they lacked such skills themselves. The trail led to the small town of Lichfield? in the lands of Count Bailstone?. The cleric’s murder was avenged in an ambush that left no survivors.

Isolde? seemed eager to leave Woodbridge? behind her and asked leave to travel with the group. They were also joined by the Vindel? warrior and smith Ivanic?. The knowledge of Ivanic helped the group establish that the recent raiding was not done by Vindel as it appeared. The most likely suspects are Count Bailstone and Count Riddick. However, Ivanic’s companionship was marred by some animosity between the Vindel and a few of Kaid’s guardsmen.

Several weeks of hunting the “Vindel? raiders” in Draysen? and Highvale? finally paid off. Skilled archery proved the downfall of the lightly armored raiders. With knowledge pried from raiding party it was possible to locate the base from which several such groups operated from in the foothills of the Craghorns?.

The raider’s camp proved to be a difficult battle, won only by the awesome power of the wizardry used by Freya and Kaid. Lagos?, the lieutenant of Count Riddick, commanded the camp. Arron? and Nagus?, the Justicar?, fought a pitched battle against Lagos who possessed the ability to assume monstrous form. The wounded were-creature used its incredible speed to escape after being sorely wounded.

With the threat to Highvale and Draysen crushed, Ivanic the Vindel took his leave of the travelers to return to his home.
