Having returned to Bartertown, we celebrated our victory at the Red Spot. My exuberant dance was rewarded with defenestration and I decided to curb my terpsichorean tendencies while in dwarven territory. Soon we met up with Homy, a female dwarf who had missed the first trip to Gnarles Barkley. I, and my companions, received a letter from one Charles Ward a wizard being held captive by brigands near Gnarles Barkley. Upon returning to the village, I led the way to the isolated shack where a "mysterious stranger" held the wizard prisoner. We overcame him with ease, freed Charles, and found provender for the poor soul who had been without food for the better part of a week.
The assassin, apparently a questor of Vestrial, the Mad Passion, claimed to have been hired in a dream to avenge the death. Unable to make him talk sense, Throg slit his throat. Nothing in the shack revealed anything useful about the assassin. We set out for Ardanyan and the Coil River. Hopefully we'll make it back to female civilization, but seeing some real water again will be nice in any event.
