Gnorcia here again. Burdened with treasure and leaving more behind, we decided to slowly make our way back to Orlane. We dragged our way out of the Barrowmaze and across the marsh, noting the thick air of the marsh. As we ascended from the marsh, we heard the distant howl of a creature that sounded unnatural. The others continued forward a bit but as I turned back to look behind us, I found myself paralyzed with fear. There was another howl, closer this time. A horrible chill passed through us all. Feno came back and smacked me on the back of the head and I was suddenly able to move and screamed loudly in horror. We all quickly began moving down the path, despite the weight we were carrying, and hurried back to Orlane without stopping.
We were thrilled to be back in time for a dinner or fried fig pastries and blanche perret. None of us were sure what that was, but it sounded fancy and we were absolutely exhausted from our hurried march with all that treasure. Turns out it was small birds boiled in a pot of onions with leeks and cloves. It was tasty. Armaziti suddenly appeared with us and dispelled some of the fear that was hanging over us. He also ordered a rich dinner that turned out to be a pair of partridges. It looked good but I was too tired and went straight to bed. The others stayed up late celebrating our safe return.In the morning we went to the jeweler and he gave us 440gp for the statuette of a penguin and 64gp each (256gp) for the gold circlets. We had then a total of 4128sp, 3696gp, and 100pp. Feno, Armaziti, Niki, and Lhoss purchased some gems from the jeweler. Tatania trained in magic, and Lhoss trained as a thief.
