Our fellowship after being succesful finding the slaying stone decided to follow up on the clues for the strange cube we found. The letter suggested not opening the cube but instead delivering it to Sunderpeak temple. Before we left Treona's tower she gave us information about this temple. These where her words...
" For years the residents of Sunderpeak Temple devoted themselves to lives of contemplation and good works along the untamed western reaches of the Nentir Vale. Some might say the temple location, north of Winterhaven at the foot of the Cairngorns, was not ideal. However it was built on an older temple, meaning a lot of the work was already done. The folk of Sunderpeak Temple included servants of Bahamut, the God of Justice. Where they lived and worked together within the mountain temple’s ancient stone walls, the faithful of Sunderpeak came to be known as learned healers, sage advisors, and stalwart defenders of the innocent leaded by high priestess Lady Saharel. However for long years Sunderpeak Temple had a secret purpose known only to few. Beneath the surface of the temple a powerful artifact of evil was hidden away. Though it was protected by magic wards and the power of the priests who dwelled there, its strongest defence was secrecy. In the end those defences were not enough. The artifact was stolen by a married couple...."
On the way to the temple we decided to make a prudent stop to the town of Winterhaven. Wrafton Inn was our first stop and a rewarding game of poker was our first great deed, followed by a buisiness proposal by the owner of the Inn Salvana Wrafton. Her Husband Parton has been missing for a week. He was set on a trip to Sunderpeek Temple bringing provisions and other goods to the residents there and hasn't been heard of since. We agreed to have our eyes and ears open for him.
After a good night strech (especialy Kalistar since he rented the luxurious suite with the jakuzy and all) we left the inn only to find ourselves in a swarming crowd in the town square. A caravan from Fallcrest had arrived. Traders were selling townspeople were buying. We met with a rich female Tiefling trader named Azaer. Her family is big back home. She has lost a family heirloom on her way here the previous time. In fact it was violently taken from her on a caravan raid some greenscaled Kobolds did. The stolen property was a small ,worthless pricewise, statue of Pelor (God of Sun and Summer, Keeper of time). Azaer promised to reward us well if we help and told us that her information about the location of the Kobold lair point towards the ruins of Keep on the Shadowfel. Seems like one more worry in our minds...In the fuzz a fool of a thief tried to steal Kalistar's money purse...The idiot didn't stand a chance. With the quality of people in our team and especially the swiftness and agility of our Raven rogue we managed to pin him down like a fly and get our hands on the wanted fee from the towns militia.
Here we should mention the stories we heard about two twin Trolls terrorizing the area not far north of Winterhaven. Hurly and Burly are the names people have given them and invincible is said that they are. Armies they have defeated and one has survived to tell the tale. Bairwin Wildarson, the potion seller was the man who faced the troll menace and survived by playing dead for a day and a half. He told us that the troll were invincible. No matter how hard his group hit them they seemed to get no harm. Maybe this story needs a bit more digging...Something smells foul here.
Last but not least we heard from the warrior's guild leader,Rond Kelfem, that Lord Ernest Padraig was having a serious personal problem. Rond was kind enough to present us to his Lordship. Erny is a humble man despite his position, and made a good first impression to our team. We felt the urgency ,the need to help him find his lost daughter. A dream his son has every night and the thoughts of Sister Linora the beautiful priestess of the local temple of Avandra (Godess of Change) lead us to Lord's family mausoleum at the local cemetery...
