Day 14

• The Wizard's Tower returns, seemingly intact.
• The party are contacted by Ti'lor, the water mage, who is now able to assist us in getting rid of the water elemental.
• We go to the circle and set about using the Blue Book of Elemental Summoning to summon the water elemental.
• We get a fire elemental instead, someone has been messing with the book.
• Via trial and error we manage to get a small water elemental who brings the larger one back to the chamber.
• Lots of water, Harold is mildly perturbed.
• We try to convince it to go rain on the Norwynn Army.
• When it finds out we are enemies of Norwynn it tries to drown us.
• We teleport out of there.

• Now we know it's name and are able to summon it properly.
• It cannot disobey it's previous master but we convince it to take us to it's master when it is summoned again.
• If we kill the other master, it will obey our requests (ie. go home).

• Water elemental summoned.
• Elemental carries 3/4 of the party in it.
• Harold chooses to walk.
• Taken to house outside town.
• Party explodes into cellar to find Tal
• Tal finds himself without kneecaps due to a case of dwarven warhammer.
• Water elemental goes home, Tal goes to the dungeons, party gets loots!

• Tal is interviewed in the Room Where No-one Asks About How Questions are Asked.
• Tal is from Draccliff, contracted to provide magical services for Aslynn.
• Tal is shocked Vergha is dead. Is this a ruse?
• Tal implies Serren is somehow involved in her husband's death.
• The water elemental was summoned from the vineyard.
• Other elementals were summoned from Ajar's house.
• Tal found out about the circle at Ajar's house from a mysterious man in the pub.

Day 15

• Set off for the north early in the morning.

Day 17

• Meet up with a group of refugees and the town guards we took with us the first time.
• Get a handful of locals to act as guides and trackers so we can track down the enemy.

Day 18

• We locate the camp of a Norwynn patrol.
• We attack them as they break camp with predictable results.
• We find out where the army is and conceal ourselves in enemy uniforms.

• Somehow we manage to get past the guards and into the enemy camp.
• We report to Rodose, a Norwynn nobleman and one of the four nobles leading the army.
• He's very excited that we 'came across some refugees and fought them'
• From various clues, we deduct that the invasion is simply to annex the north of Ostvale and that after taking Ironhedge bridge, they will stop.

• And his wife!
• And she doesn't remember him!
