From the diary of Silvan the Dryad
Session date: 14.9.2003 [Diary excerpt incomplete]

We decided not to ambush the pursuer for now, but instead 
 continue to Cenoby. We were so close to settlements, it 
 would've been too easy for somebody to hear the sounds of 
 battle.

We heard noise as we approached the town - it seemed like there
 was some sort of a commotion going on. Passing a group of
 armed men who were loading a wagon with pies, we came to the
 center square. A large human was standing on a pedestal there,
 trying to bring some order into the crowd. Apparently the
 people were upset over the fact that the road to Dorandor was
 out of use, and over the fact that the bridge hadn't been
 repaired yet.

We made our way through the crowd and reached the big man. His
 name was Wolfgar, and he was the local blacksmith. He was only
 there to shout at people. He suggested we go talk to a thin
 man near the pedestal. The thinny was a half-elf, and he'd
 been in charge of the town for a few days since his dad was
 MIA. His name was Felar. The people were quite discontent over
 the fact that somebody this young and inexperienced was in
 charge.

Felar's dad had vanished yesterday. Buran wanted to take Felar
 a little to the side to explain the situation. Felar left
 Wolfgar to handle the situation and took us to his house. On
 the way, we witnessed Felar talking to the man guarding the
 two pie wagons, who intended on going to the bridge themselves
 to find out what was going on. We suggested we'd talk to them
 at first, and upon hearing that we were from Dorandor, they
 followed us to Felar's house.

We explained the situation, but Felar and the pie merchant,
 Ian, were rather suspicious. Apparently something odd was
 going on, since the people had been told the bridge only
 needed some repairs, and there were people at work repairing
 it. Ian flat-out refused to believe us and left, saying he'd
 take his guards and go check out the situation by the bridge
 himself.

Buran tried to persuade Felar to gather soldiers and send them
 to the bridge, but Felar was hesitant. He said the soldiers
 couldn't be moved from the border without an order from the
 royal house, and our story wasn't very convincing. He relented
 enough to send Wolfgar with us to the bridge, however, to
 investigate what was going on. We tried getting an arrest
 warrant on the man who'd been following us, but with no luck.

Eventually Felar not-so-discreetly suggested he'd rather see us
 leave, and we did. We met with Wolfgar, who'd apparently
 gotten things back under control again, and agreed to get
 going within an hour or so. After Wolfgar had left, Buran
 came up with the idea that the townspeople could send a
 messenger to the harbor and ask for confirmation for our
 story. We left the message to a guard who said he'd relay it
 on to Felar.

The undead and the demon left to buy some food from the
 butcher, and I followed them. While we were there, a few kids
 came running to the butcher, asking where they could find some
 waste meat. The butcher told them and they left, and out of
 curiosity, I followed.

As I followed the kids, I ran into the man who'd been following
 us. After a quick conversation, he departed, and I went after
 him. He went to an inn, like he'd told me he would, but
 quickly left from the other door. For a moment, I hesitated
 between following him and seeing what those kids from before
 were doing, but then decided to follow him. Bad choice.
