Day 10-11

Synopsis: The road to Gatford provides a rare glimpse of the &quot;Blood War&quot; between demons and devils

Luthaist returns to the coach house where his appearance and story garners some unexpected local attention. Two of the shepherd &quot;girls&quot; - sisters by the names of Raquel and Carlotta attempt to entice the party to talk more freely over drinks and a warm bath upstairs. Ragnum and [[Horin]]'s elequence (including generosity in the form of a hot meal + drinks) ilicits no new information. Luthaist takes a direct approach an meets with Raquel and after a small bribe of 10Gp tells him a bit more about [[Erferil]] and the red Companies schedule and activity. She mentions there are some unknown (to many) druid stones in the bog to the north. The inkeeper Ka'arl spots recruits for Erferil who disapper shortly thereafer into one of the Red Companies weekly coaches that passes through never to be seen again.

Menawhile the party speaks with the Bard Duriel who passes on more informatin about the &quot;Dwarven&quot; mines far to the west near or perhpas hidden within the cave of the winds. He thas never ventured that far west, prefering to take work the road between Gatford and Sorgen. He knows little of Azal'Lan's tower other than its reportedly to the west or south. The party agrees to head out in the morning towards the caves. The inkeeper brings a fine meal and after more drinks and [[rumors]] are discussed they retire for the night to a common room. Half the party cant sleep due to stomach cramps resulting in only a short rest benefits even after a full eight hours.

In the morning they head west cautiously towards Gatford, and a few hours later find themselves just barely a mile from the walls of the Muckraker coachouse. Scattered just off the road Mourn discovers signs of combat between what appears to be a group of Demons and Devils based on the grisley remains. Scouting ahead he comes across a fiend  similar in appearance to the one last seen in Darzog Mines in the company of some larger than normal Orcs. They appear to have just concluded a fight and are guarding the road preventing further travel west. His bungles his stealthy return and is detected but manages to hide from the patrol and make it back to the party where they plan their next move.
