Now Alzar starts working on the three books that were not touched by thieves and available to be taken.
Estaish found a guy good enough to wok on the naga skin and scales, and was paid 2500 to do so. In one month, +2 scale mail armor will be acquired. He started before Alzar went looking for items and spells.
1500 gold left.
Aleigha and the crew see each other daily. She is in the inn outside of the gates about an hour away. They send things back and forth in the teleport jars, and Alzar and Estaish have her with the wagons and horses because they cost too much to store in here at inns inside the city.
They open the scrolls, but they are blank and damp. Alzar has Estaish lay them by the fire so that they can dry and be used, but instead, writing becomes visible! Alzar grabs the scrolls and starts reading. In them, a sea captain and adventurer talks about discovering an isle far to the south in the ocean. There are comments about what town he was at, what sort of monsters were met, and so forth. Alzar will need to research the captain and such. For now, he will continue, but after his learned spells and stuff, the next thing is to see what’s up with the notes.
A few days later, after doing some research, when Fort Amber wakes up, an unhealthy looking grey mist has settled on the mountain above the Fort and it engulfs Castle Amber and the surrounding land. A day later, the mist is still there, and soldiers from the city that have visited the area have returned with dread news.
Castle Amber has completely disappeared!
