After learning the conspirators behind the Nashkel Mines are also behind the bandit raids, Aegon and his troupe travel to the wilderness to seek out their main camp. Having only a vague location as a clue, they hope to come across bandits travelling toward or back from the main roads.

Spirits of the Cloud Peaks

Ghosts and Xvarts
13 Mirtul 1368
The Gnolls have a stronghold to the west of Nashkel where they are holding captives, including Minsc’s witch, Dynaheir. We have prepared ourselves for an expedition, however there is still one more thing to do before we leave.
We make our way to Nashkel’s south bridge.
Accusations

Miniature Giant Space Hamsters
12 Mirtul 1368

Hobgoblin Camp
