The farther they go down the path, the more trees begin to grow around them, as well as a lot of grass along the path. Dagmar suddenly stops death in her tracks and mumbles "it has been to quiet for to long." She looks around but doesn't see any disturbance, Neeshka turns and asks "hey Dag what's wrong?" Dagmar looks up darkly and says "we're getting followed again." And just as she has said this their path is crossed by a couple of dwarves led by a bladeling "no place to run this time Kalach-cha, hand it over!" says the bladeling furiously, Khelgar sighs in agony and says "this is getting tiresome, what is so important about that bloody shard that has them chasing us all over Fearûn?" Dagmar shrugs and says "I wish I knew the answer." Khelgar shrugs as well and says "ah well, at least the fights come to us." The bladeling hisses and says "hand the shard over!" Dagmar smirks and says "if you want it, come and get it." The bladeling chuckles and says "with pleasure…kill them!" but suddenly vines erupt from around the ground around them, trapping them stuck "what are you guys looking at? Attack them!" yells the bladeling in anger, suddenly a woman jumps down who attacks them, she and her badger that is.
Dagmar shrugs and says "well, let's help her out…can't let her have all the fun can we now?" Khelgar nods and charges toward their enemies, behind him follow Neeshka, Aura and Dagmar's arrows. After their little fight the woman turns and says softly "you walk a strange path for a Harborman, forgive me but I saw these things attacking you…and I couldn't let it happen that you where ambushed…again. My name is Elanee, and rather than following you I'd walk with you." Khelgar snorts and says "with a frame like that you'd likely be blown by the wind." Neeshka giggles and says "now, now no need to be jealous barrelhouse." Khelgar arches an eyebrow and says "of an elf? And a tree worshipper on top of that?" Elanee frowns and says calmly "I'm that and more, but I'm not an enemy not to you at least. At first I was following the ones that followed you, but they seemed to be following you so that brings us here." Dagmar frowns and says "they kept asking for a shard I carry…but I can't help but wonder how you would be able to help us." Elanee smiles and says "ah so that would be the silk wrapped bundle I saw in your pack…as for the help, I can lead you to ways, you did not see before and kept walking straight past." Dagmar pouts and says "we where doing along the way just fine….but lead us the way if you think you know it better." Khelgar frowns and says "what? First the tiefling now the elf? Let's invite all the realms, tromping through the wilds yelling here we are!" Elanee glares and says "we will not be tromping, we'll be walking swiftly like the wind." Neeshka smiles and says "and talking about wind, shut your mouth Khelgar before your breath summons more of those creatures." Dagmar arches and eyebrow and asks "say Elanee…do you actually know where we where heading?" Elanee nods and says "why yes, the way you are walking Harborman…seems like you're on your way to Neverwinter…seeking safety behind walls are you?"
Dagmar snorts and says "if that is possible, but I'm searching for information as well…and stop calling me Harborman, the name is Dagmar, and these are Khelgar, Neeshka and Aura." Elanee smiles and says "alright, by the way this here is Naloch…let us go now." Dagmar nods and they walk after her, Khelgar prods her in her side and whispers "I don't trust her…" she shakes her head and mumbles "me neither…but all we can do right now is trust her abilities, she's a druid after all." Neeshka walks before them with beside her Aura, she hums a happy tune and watches the surrounding area in search for any secret hiding places for treasure. They walk further for hours, and Elanee barely gives them time to rest. "This is getting tiresome, are we there yet?" asks Khelgar while popping down on a rock, Neeshka sits down as well and says "I've had enough as well, if we had stick to my trail we would be there by now. I'm sick of all these groves and stuff and letting her pick the trail." Khelgar looks toward Dagmar and says "ya know, for once I'm in on that with her." Dagmar looks toward Elanee and says "how much farther is it?" Elanee smiles and says "not far, for we're already here…this is the Maidens Glade in the tongue of Harborman. Once we've crossed this glade we should be directly at Highcliff." Neeshka yelps and says "aaah!! More groves? I'm sick of it! Let's get going before I loose my mind completely." After a few hours they finally reach the port town, Elanee had insisted into investigating some death wolves…and after a lot of begging Dagmar had said yes, but to Neeshka she had said she had just said yes to let her stop begging. Eventually they had bumped into a massive hostile bear, they had weakened it, and the bear revealed to be a druid trapped in his bear form. It turned out there was something going on in the Mere, which Dagmar had already guessed a little.
"Finally we got here!" says Neeshka happily while twirling around in joy, Dagmar bursts out into laughter seeing her act like that. Khelgar sighs and mumbles "I'm sure glad we finally reached this place, all we need to do now is find a boat that wants to cross us toward Neverwinter." Elanee however doesn't look very thrilled with the idea "we could also continue by the road." Dagmar shakes her head and says "no, if we're still being perused they will loose our trail once we go over the water, and with it, it is a promise I made with my father and I always keep my promise." Neeshka sticks out her tongue behind Dagmar's back but quickly pulls it back once Dagmar turns around toward her. "My father had told me to find a certain captain, he should be able to get us across." They all nod and follow her into town, but getting a boat wasn't as easy as they had thought. It turns out lizardlings have been sabotaging ships that try to make a cross toward Neverwinter. "By the nine hells, are we ever going to get easier jobs?" asks Khelgar angrily, Dagmar sighs and says "we'd better ask around town…maybe we can help out." Neeshka nods and asks "you think we would be able to get a reward out of this?" Dagmar shrugs and says "who knows…come on." They walk through the town and ask around, it turns out that because of the lizardlings there is more trouble then they thought. They meet Gera and Zachan again, who tell them their son is missing with a friend…eventually they say they're going to help them find the kids.
Beside a house they meet a man called Par, who says he hears strange noises coming from inside his house. After they had gone in they find out thieves have tried to rob things, after a fight they end up defeating them giving Par safely access to his house again. One moment later they confront a couple of drunken sailors, and after saying a wrong joke Khelgar brawls with them, winning fairly easy. Giving Elanee the chance to scold him, and Neeshka the chance to giggle at his response. After a while they talk to the towns elder Mayne, who gives them the quest to find out about the lizardlings. "You'd better try Shandra's farm…as it hasn't been attacked yet." He says while pointing them toward the farm, just as they want to go a woman runs toward them. "Excuse me…but I was wondering if you could help me, my husband William is missing, and he headed toward the farm, if you could…could you keep an eye out for him?" she asks them desperately, Dagmar nods and says "why not…we'll try to find him." The woman smiles happily and waves them off, at the gate of the city they encounter a man called Mozah…who asks them to find a couple of adventurers who owe him some money for him guiding them. After they accept the quest they set out toward the farm.
After a while they arrive at the farm "well, this is the farm but where is the…" says Khelgar but before he can finish a woman walks toward them, she has shoulder long blond hair and blue eyes, her skin is light and she wears farmer clothing. "Who are you? Did Mayne send you? Whoever you are you look a little bit to important to bother with the common folk." She says while eying them with caution, Neeshka nods and says "I say, we have already gone too far out of our original direction anyway." Khelgar arches an eyebrow and asks "too far? Not too far for a fight I hope?" The woman looks at the strange party before her, Dagmar chuckles and starts a conversation with the woman who introduces herself as Shandra, during their conversations she explains their travelling, and in return gains information from Shandra about the lizardlings misbehaviour. But then a couple of lizardlings appear and put a part of the farm into flames, making Shandra sad and angry at the same time. "Look if you can do something for Highcliff please do, here follow that path and you'll go directly to the ruins." She says, after which she starts to try to exhaust the fires, Dagmar and her friends help her out a little bit, after which they head of toward the ruins she had described for them.
When they arrive at the ruin grounds they soon find Juni's husband William and after a conversation in which he admits he wanted to run away from her, they get him to go back home to his wife and child. Because of Elanee's good eyes and ears they locate two small kids surrounded by wolves, after defeating the wolves they talk to the kids to calm them down a little. After which they thank them and return back home. "You're good with children, got some of your own?" asks Elanee in curiosity, Dagmar chuckles and says "no, but I hope I will in the near future…but then I'll first need to find the right guy." Khelgar sighs dreamingly and says "yes, a whole clan of Ironfists around you, telling them stories." Neeshka giggles and says "well Dag, if you want kids to grow up like animals…listen to Elanee, if you want them to grow up like head bashing idiots listen to Khelgar, as for me…don't ask me about it." Dagmar smiles and they move further toward the castle ruins. Outside they encounter a lizardling fighting off a couple of zombies, when they help him out he introduces himself as Slaan. They listen to what he has to say, and after some negotiating they find out he and his clan members had been sabotaging the human boats because they where threatening their living area. They agree to help him find his missing clan members, in return that he will take them toward his clan chief to negotiate. It takes them a couple of hours to go through the ruins, killing loads and loads of zombies and a shadow priest, they find out he and the one they had encountered at the catacombs around fort Locke had planned in attacking both for Locke and Highcliff in the near future. After a while they find Slaan's missing members, and they eventually agree to take them to their chieftain. After a conversation with the chieftain and making a bargain with him they arrive back at Highcliff and round up their rewards. This involves a good sum of gold and a few handy amulets, they then talk to elder Mayne and tell him of the bargain with the lizardling chieftain. It proves however that he isn't so keen about the idea…but he eventually accepts and gives them and their ship under the command of captain Flinn access to the sea so that they can sail toward Neverwinter. After a conversation with the captain, they are given a last reward by the townsfolk for their help, which is a piece of armor. Dagmar and her friends thank the townspeople and enter the ship. "Finally…I hope this isn't going to take long." Says Khelgar when he sits down in a chair, Elanee sighs and says "oh do enjoy the journey Khelgar…it will be good to not be followed for once." Neeshka sighs and turns toward Dagmar while saying "here goes nothing…those two will be certainly bickering the entire journey." Dagmar sighs and takes place in a chair, Aura yawns and takes place beside the chair, after which she is hugged and petted by Neeshka.
