Travelling
Monday, April 30th, 988 AD

Edward Divinates about whether or not we should go back to Hudic and check out those pyramids again. God says we probably shouldn't, as there are mor inmportant things to do. We buy some quick stuff in Ketelheim and head north-northwest towards Kebnegard. We're trying to get get to the Chalice River which flows from Kebnekaise to the Baltic Sea.

The day passes uneventfully and we camp for the night.

Bad Reindeer
Tuesday, May 1st, 988 AD

During the second watch, we are attacked by bipedal reindeer with no skin, so that their muscles are showing; two of them have no head. There are about fifteen of them and they quickly surround us, beating us with their hooves. They prove to be very tough and fell Conrad, Shara, and Wong, but we are finally able to kill them all after much fighting.

During the battle, Vera, recently recovered from her sickness, heard a person off in the distance change into a bird and then fly away. We assume that this druid or mage sicced the zombie reindeer on us.

We finish resting after the battle and continue on our heading. We walk all day.

Lots of Travelling
Wednesday through Friday, May 2nd through 4th, 988 AD

We walk all three days with little excitement. The only things of note are that on Thursday morning, Jean-Claude Clairvoyances the land to make sure we're on the right track, and then later in the day, Vera hears jingling bells in the distance and Nicolae, in Wraithform, goes to investigate. It's only an old man and young woman riding in the snow, in a four reindeer open sleigh. On the sleigh, they had a metal circular disc-like object with charms hanging off it.

We decide to let them be and continue on our way, and do so through Friday.
