 We arrived with just enough money to buy a country inn at a place called Kresk -  and not long afterwards we were called by Gaard, the Mage of Neverwinter, to make a delivery of strange pale blue stones to Silverymoon and were to be accompained by an elf called Seraphiel.  There was a lot of preparation, as the delivery was supposed to be carried out quietly, so we brought a wagon, loaded up and set off with the stones concealed in a coffin under the guise of an Elven body being returned home for burial. We travelled, initially with a Dwarf caravan, until we were attacked by Orcs and the caravan turned back.  We couldn't go with them, because Berta had been kidnapped during the raid.  So we buried the stones and set off for the rescue.
-Gedd tracked the Orcs back to their camp, deep in the forest, where we snuck in, freed Berta, and took revenge on the Orc Leader, called Xred, as we retrieved her gear.  By this time the camp was aroused, partly because of the fires we had set as a diversion, and we were in a tricky spot.  Fortunately, the Orcs had upset a local Banshee, known as Agatha, who visited the camp and provided the diversion we needed to help make our escape.  As we did so, we noticed Soggrin, a barbarian princess who was another of Xred's prisoners (and her small entourage) make her escape as well.

 Once we had found the horses and dug up the stones, we set off again.  This time alone on the trail and in mid-winter.  Bad weather forced us to go the long way around, and eventually we would have to cross the Troll Moors.  Although before we got there, we were stopped, and arrested, by a strange family of wild mages, caller The Harpells, accused of the murder of Mage Gaard!  It turned out that the Mage Gaard we met was an imposter, although the Harpell's magic showed us to be innocent of the crime.  After a few days in their strange house, to recover and rebuild our strength, we set off again.
