"The village of Lonstrem is a small farmer’s town of about 200 on the Embraweave Plateau east of Suhder. Its mayor, Marwan Rosebelly, has called for aid from the Order of Dawn after almost a quarter of the population has fallen ill almost 3 weeks ago. You are to deliver a wagon with supplies to these people, and assist the local priest of Lathender, Zinfi Goldrest, with finding out where this sickness has come from, and hopefully put an end to it.


Minister Elreak from the Order of Dawn - part of the Church of Pelor - has promised you 100 gold pieces each for your efforts in delivering the cart of goods to Lonstrem, of which you’ve been paid 25 when you left Suhder. You have also been given 3 weeks worth of rations each, enough to get you to the village and back.

The wagon is pulled by two donkeys and contains:
After cleaning out the cave / sewers / hideout with the Crux members there is a ton left to find.
*A chest of dry, herbal medical supplies
*A small barrel of liquid medicine
*A chest of bandages
*4 flasks of strong alcohol (meant as a disinfectant) in a crate.
*A small, locked chest containing scrolls (1 person was given a key to be kept separately)
*A barrel of feed for the donkeys


The wagon has room for 2 people to ride in the front, and two inside (among the goods). The donkeys are called Hilk and Bitty, and are of calm demeanor (they are affectionate and like to be pet on the head).
Langdredrosa also has several items on him:
* A greatsword of (extra crit damage)
* Scale Mail
* An amulet of Disguise Self (1 charge)
* 27 platinum, 35 gold
* a ring to enter the Administrative district
* A folded letter


By now you’re about 2 days away from Lonstrem. You’ve traveled the Godsroad Highway for a good while, before leaving its relative safety and well kept road surface to travel on the Embraweave Trackway - a much less traveled path leading through the Embraweave Plateau. The journey has been relatively uneventful, save a thief trying to rummage through your goods and wild animals being attracted to the smell of food cooking over a fire. Now, however, bad weather is headed your way as deep blue and gray clouds are blown north-east from the Inmer.
The others have very little in the way of interesting goods on them:
* 13 gp, 214sp
* dingy weapons, armor, and spell foci
*Spell Scrolls
** a scroll of Alter Self
** a scroll of confusion (cursed to rebound, DC 20 save)
** a scroll of enemies abound
** scroll of hypnotic pattern


The cave also has a hidden exit, disguised by an illusory wall. The hidden tunnel leads all the way to the other side of Old Town, where the tunnel exits in a well obscured grate next to the river. The tunnel seems to occasionally flood with high water.

It's been a good week since the four of you left Suhder now, and some 2 days since you took a left onto the Emberweave Trackway - which is more of a packed dirt road than anything else. The journey has been uneventful, with fair weather and only minor disturbances along the way the largest issue would have probably been the sore bottom those sitting on the cart have the endure.
