It is the 88th of Summer, 372.

We are standing near the river across from the city Ocalmalm. We are just outside a village of 20 or 30 buildings, there is an inn just up from the docks by the river.

We decide to stay at the village inn. We overhear while eating of a river that dried up. There have also been some sheep rustling in that earea. The bartender adds that the river dried up one day in his father's lifetime. People were forced to move away. This place lies south-southeast of where we are.

We finish our meal, get up and leave. Sru Ravam tips the stablehand. We travel along the road for three hours and then bed down beside the road.

We wake to the sunrise.

Four hours of travel later we reach a standing stone. It is three times the height of a man.

near to the stone is another small track. We follow that until we cross a dry riverbed. Afalar follows the river and finds some buildings.

We wait out one day and night. there are definitely Kurdrun inside, but no humans that Volorn can smell.

Later the next evening a group of 5 humans arrive on horseback.

One stays with the horses and the other 4 enter the mill.

Afalar leaves, enhanced by Sjer with added strength and dexterity. Volorn and Afalar both with spider climb go over to the top of the mill.

Volorn hides against the cliff and Afalar proceeds into the mill. He crawls in to the mill to scout around. In the third room, which is pitch black. He encounters a guard. Afalar throws a bit of food to the floor below him from his position on the ceiling. He is then attacked by the kurdrun who sees him easily.
