December 13, 1371


December 13th is partly cloudy and cool again. A brisk east wind blows out of the mountains.

Zanax begins to take the telescope back up to a high point that he has spotted. It is a big, bulky instrument, not designed to be portable, and he must make three trips to get the entire telescope transported.

Rage teleports the followers, Beauty and Kal back to the magic pool at the Black Keep.

Hlarn and Kailar, after turning invisible, depart on the scouting expedition. With them goes Equinox, in the form of a large bird.

Later in the afternoon Rage returns with the followers and others who visited the Black Keep pool. Kadlian and Sian have just returned from a practice session on the hippogriffs. Kadlian is becoming more skilled, while Sian is still in the learning stages.

Soon after, Zanax returns, carrying the final parts of the telescope.

The weather has become unsettled, and out of the east blow heavy black clouds. As you settle down for the night, it begins sleeting. By the time it tapers off several hours later, the ground is white and the temperature has plummeted below freezing.


next day...
