LIAM: Shut the fuck up!
MATT: As you approach, the half-orc steps forward
and goes, “Hey, you! Where you headed today?”
SAM: Shadycreek Run.
MATT: “Well, you pass through the breach, you pay
the toll.”
SAM: All right.
LIAM: Yes, we have that.
MATT: “Good. Pay up.”
SAM: How much?
MATT: “Two gold each.”
LIAM: Oh yeah. Okay.
SAM: You know what? I’ll get it. Don’t even look.
I got this one. Here you go, four from me.
MARISHA: Yeah, that’s good.
MATT: “All right. Let them in!” She steps back in
line with the two other they pull the two gates
and pull open as the wood clacks against the sides
of the gates. You all make your way through as the
guards watch as you pass in. For a nervous moment,
you see the eyes pass over the two other riders,
but make no issue as you continue inward. You hear
the gates (clunking) behind you. Now, looking
ahead, you can see the curvature of the ravine
opens up into a widening valley. You see a

constructed against. It is a weird, crooked, long
town that vanishes into the branches and leaves.
You’re no longer within the Dwendalian Empire.
Welcome to the Greying Wildlands.
SAM: The Greying Wildlands.
MATT: And to the lawless town of Shadycreek Run.
Anything you wish to do before you head to the
city proper?
ASHLY: We’re still obscured, Beau and I?
MATT: Obscured in the sense that you’re
inconspicuous in dress.
ASHLY: Right, but that’s still happening? That
spell is for an hour? Okay.
LIAM: Do you have any place where we can lay up?
ASHLY: There are two places I would recommend.
There is this place called the Plaza Emporium. A
pleasant but can be murderous dragonborn runs
that. She’s not affiliated with any of the
unseemly folks directly, so she’s a bit more
neutral. We might be able to get information from her.
LIAM: Does she murder everybody or does–
ASHLY: Only people who piss her off, so be on your
best behavior. The Landlocked Lady is a brothel.
We might want to cover Nila’s eyes. It’s run by
the Marduns, who happen to be–
