Day 22 Reaping:
Following the warm meal at the Dapper Crab, the group decided to separate for the afternoon. Kyro heard that there was a secret temple to Merikka just outside of town and decided to investigate. Feno and the newly arrived Calbach, decided to go what was described as the fighter's guild, but was in fact, the area that the Knights of Hookhill trained. Instead of a collection of fighters and mercenaries, they were met with an organized collection of presumably paladins. When asked if they knew anything about the dim forest, they refused to answer, because they sent Ronan on a mission to the Barrow Maze and they were awaiting his return. They refused to elaborate on his mission, and instead, were quite dismissive towards the two group members. Niki decided to explore the forest and wild parts outside of the town. In his discovery of the secret temple, Kyro discovered that Merikka was outcast from the town due the deities' chaotic alignment. It would seem that those that are chaotic leaning are not welcome inside the town. Armatzi looked for his penguin friend but was unable to find him inside the town. Following the day's adventure, the group spends the evening at the Dapper Crab (since rooms were already purchased). Feno learned a rumor about Nanor, the villian that the group is after in the barrowmaze: apparently, he may have been part of the group that killed his family so many years ago. Now motivated, Feno and the group are ready to head back to Orlane.
Following breakfast, the group looks to find a caravan that is heading towards Orlane. They find the caravan driver that they used coming to town, but after discussion they find he won't be leaving for a few more days. This was not soon enough (since the group felt very unwelcome in town, especially Feno and Kyro) they decided to head to Orlane on foot. Kyro purchased a pot to have warm meals on the road, all the while trying to scour for ingredients and spices to help cooking. Once they left town, Zraith appeared again to join Armatzi on his quest. Kyro found nothing of note along this well-traveled route. Feno was also unable to see any wildlife along the way. The group took turns on evening watch, ensuring their camp was safe, similar to what they did on the way to Hookhill. The days come and go during the march back, with Zraith giving Armatzi fresh fish, and generally ignoring the rest of the party. The group noticed that it was quite peaceful as they traveled, as well as on their evening watch assignment.
They arrive at the Dim Forest on last day of the month, day 28 of Reaping. Following a brief rainstorm, the group encounters a wild pig in the Dim Forest. After slaying the pig (it had an unusual amount of health) the group harvested (at Kyro's assistance) and divided the pork meat. Each member was given a portion that they could supplement their rations with. After a more enjoyable evening ration, the group once again continue to take watches at night and continue on.
2nd Day of Good Month (or Sunflower in Elvish):
The group arrives in Orlane and enjoy a warm delicious dinner at the Foaming Mug. The recount to the familiar barkeep with the tales of hostility and mistreatment at hands of the denizens of Hookhill.
