The group makes good time heading west. Around noon on the third day the group can hear some arguing up ahead. They find two Paladin's of Glamdrin (evil god) arguing about a dying horse. The two men (Gyle & Monty Blacklore) get into a heated fist fight and eventually the group intervenes and breaks it up. The horse is dying (internal bleeding) and needs to be put down. Murphy agrees to the task and changes into a wolf and takes the horses life quickly and naturally. The paladins are grateful and ask for the groups help in burying the lost steed. One of the large horses from the carriage bites his way free from his harness and nestles up to the paladin. Delvin gives the horse to the paladin as a sign of good faith. Sura proposes that the paladins should mate with her. They agree and each have a turn. They both pay her for her service.
The group heads closer towards Diamond bed city. They take a quick detour to check out a cave that the Paladins mentioned about symbols referring to this tall creature with a big head & eyes with a small mouth. The group investigates. Deep within the chamber they come to a large sarcophagus. Vornyn & Sura peek inside and then quickly shut the lid. They find more sacks of the teleportation powder in the chamber and use some if it to send this coffin back where it came from (to the corn fields).
The following few days go uneventful until the group sees a band of armored guards brandishing flags of the Diamond Bed city guard. Delvin's new black eyes warn him of someone scrying on their cart. Gary changes incorporeal and flees the vicinity. The group speaks to the guard and all is going well when all of a sudden the one guard starts going into hysterics and writes out a message. He hands it to Delvin as it appears to be letter made out to him....
The guards having not found Gary, say that they can go but that they know Gary is close and they will find him.
Almost to the city walls and the group is greeted by a sort of special forces unit flying down from air ships with two Wyvren riders circling overhead. They are escorted into town where they come to face to face with both Gary's parents. Apparently Gary was banished due to some disturbing behavior with under aged individuals as well as rape and murder charges. The city wanted him destroyed for his actions but Gary's folks wanted to spare his life so they got him as far away as they could.... Hilltown.
