Patched up, and loot in hand, including long forgotten Khazaran scrolls, the party returns to their base in the Westhills.
What they will do next is the question.
Upon returning home, a number of pieces of news land on their laps. Firstly, the black market business has brought in some profits, thanks to the efforts of Rolf, son of Rolf of House Rolf.
Secondly Lillyen is able through rigorous study translate enough of the Khazaran records to understand they recorded the last days of that ancient people. And how they all came to an end during what became known as the Black Ash Days when the Phoenix scorched this side of the World.
Additionally, a problem was brewing from Riverest. The Lord Knight, Lathezo Chesk, had gotten wind of an operation in development in the Westhills, requiring the hiring of laborers. Taking a militia with him, he intended to see if there were bandits, squaters or other ne're-do-wells setting up shop in the wilderness. Or if there was a growing rival power in the local area. He would get the adventuring party.
