The Journey Back

25 November, 595
Part III

On the way back, the party finds their path blocked by a trio of lions, who have taken to rest on the road. Shensen dismounts and approaches the lions. After speaking with the animals, they trot off and away from the road. Shensen comes back and explains that they had just finished feeding and were resting after the kill.

After returning to Cauldron, the group pays a visit to Jenya. She thanks the Lords of Chaos for recovering the body of Sarcem, and appears to show some emotion before she seems to accept the position of the High Priestess of the Temple of St. Cuthbert. The group is taken to the attending clerics to be healed, and when Jenya returns she is carrying the holy mace that was found on the body of Sarcem. She offers the magic armor, necklace, and ring to the party as a token of thanks. But she does explain that they must still recover the missing wands to claim the original reward.

The group decides to consult the Star of Justice for some clue on how to find Triel. The answer they are given is: "Find the cook where the cup spills forth ale, and information is bought." Before pursuing this lead, the group decides to retire for the night.
