			= The Curse of Conder Isle =

			Carrying Sulla, the cursed talking chair who claims to be an old god of fighting, the crew sets course for Conder Isle, Darfin's homeland, where an arena devoted to Sulla is said to be able to break his curse. On the foggy way south Strennun throws himself into a whirlpool, a mutiny is put down and Roftag becomes first mate. Days later Strennun is fished out of the sea by none other than Kylin's estranged sister.

			On the isle the party crosses the faerie-haunted woods to Alse Edhil. In search of a book about the old gods they break into the house of Darfin's nemesis Arune Silvaris, steal the book along with a large crystal, and promptly end up on wanted posters. Darfin's wife Elora offers them a way out: help the elven rangers fight a curse spreading through the forest.

			Deep in the cursed woods they find a hag nesting in an ancient burial mound and kill her, losing the bag of holding in the process. Beneath the tomb Strennun meets Anathar, an entity sealed in a monolith, who possesses him and Brovara before the crew flees. In a maze near Sulla's arena they clash with Wormtongue, whom Darfin banishes, and the blood of the fallen sets Sulla free. Square becomes his high priestess, and all but Roftag accept his gifts.

			Back at the port they learn that Kylin is wanted for desertion and the Devilsfall has been seized. The party breaks into the keep, frees Jack and the surviving crew, and escapes, setting the elven fleet aflame as they leave the isle behind.

			== Meeting Thur'kan ==

			Before leaving for the big oak-tree, we go over the plan again:
			* Offer Thur'kan to ally himself with us. We will support his claim to be one half of the Diarchy and in turn he agrees to not bother the dwarves or humans that are bordering his lands.
			* For him to ally himself with us, we need to challenge him. There are essentially two ways for that to happen
			* If from inside the tribe: Challenge the leader to a duel - either to first blood or to the death
			* If from outside the tribe: Both leaders choose a champion, who will then fight either to first blood or to the death.

			As we are not from Thur'kan's tribe, only the second way works for us. But that's only a last resort. We will first talk to him and see where it gets us.

			The next morning, the Captain orders everybody else to pack up camp and get back to the ship to be ready to sail off once we come back. We packed rations for ten days and march off towards the big oak tree. After about half a week, we reach it and I scout ahead. It is located in the middle of a depression and there is a powerful aura of magic surrounding the entire area.

			While I am crawling through the high grass to get a closer look, I suddenly get greeted as a 'Servant of the Turtle'. The one greeting me turns out to be Ga'alak, the Shaman of Thur'kan. He greets me and tells me to go fetch 'my friends'. I do so, too baffled to say anything else.

			When returning to the place with the Shaman, he is suddenly gone - that is until I basically run into him and he seemingly materializes out of thin air. He then greets the rest of the crew too. The Captain as 'Lady of Death', Rof as 'One who dances with the wolf', and Brovara as 'One who is driven by revenge'. He talks about how 'the crone' has announced their coming and he is to lead us to Thur'kan. Before leaving, he warns us, that The Tree is watching and no blood must be spilled on this holy ground.

			Once we reach the tree itself, it is surrounded with six permanent huts, and about 30 orcs that attempt to intimidate us with a loud and rhythmic dance and shouting. The Shaman demands we leave our weapons with him before meeting the Tribe-Leader, who is awaiting in the sixth hut. It is dark in there, safe for a hearth with glowing embers. At the hearth, Thur'kan and another Orc are waiting for us


			Strennun Lynn
			-----------------------
			\| \|
			Brovara \| \| Thur'kan
			\| \|
			------------------------
			Roftag Other Orc


			Lynn offers Thur'kan the deal, but he insists of breaking bread first, which we do. After that, the Captain offers the deal again. Thur'kan is interested in theory, but wants one of us to complete a challenge for him to show him we're serious about it and that we can even support him in his claim. One of the following challenges needs to be completed:

			* A gift of a pelt from a great wolf from Rof
			* A treasure from the depths of the ocean from Strennun
			* A feast with his Orcs and Brovara that does not end in violence

			The captain moves to our backup plan and offers trial by combat, which Thur'kan declines. Rof volunteers to do his challenge.

			Outside again, the Shaman tells Rof to grab his weapons and follow him on top of a big boulder, where he gives him a bowl to drink, which appears to be blood (to Rof it tastes like Ale). Rof starts to feel dizzy and is pushed off the boulder by the shaman....

			... and wakes up in his old camp in the nine hells with an unnatural urge to hunt. He finds paw-prints in his camp and follows the trail to a magically darkened cave with a huge wolf inside. An epic battle ensues, where Rof kills the wolf in the end after much deliberation. During the fight, he calls upon his crew-members to give him advice

			* Brovara: Get your revenge, kill the big wolf
			* Strennun: Look around you and kill the minions of the wolf first
			* Lynn: Trust in your instincts.

			After killing the wolf, Rof drags the huge beast out of the cave and suddenly appears in the Orc-camp again, bloody and wounded.

	So I head back down while Brovara and Strennun goofed around in the fort for a few days. As soon as they arrive back we plot to take the initiative and hit a few orc camps near by. With a small crew and 2 day treck we locate one of their camps... but it was an ambush. The orcs run away while attacking us from the shadows killing some. Some crew also fall for the traps set up. Meanwhile Strennun, Borvara and I do our best to hunt down the orcs. For fear I also use a couple of fireballs to torch down the forest and incinerating a couple of orcs in the process. Saddly despite them fleeing this was clearly a loss, and we head back while the forest fire rages on.		So I head back down while Brovara and Strennun goofed around in the fort for a few days.

Saddly despite them fleeing this was clearly a loss, and we head back while the forest fire rages on.

			==Burning the camp==

			The crew approaches the gate, Rof joins the crew chasing a wolf like creature. The crew discusses how to discern orc leaders - tusks, skulls, etc.
			Tyrane disrespects the captain which prompts a hold person and threatening words. Tyrane tells us to find another port. Strennung scouts port.

			Brovara and Rof gather the crew. Strennungs Patreon is pissed.
			The ships leaves the port.
			There are several sightings of Rof's cape on deck. The crew decides to raid the next orc camp at nightfall.
			At nightfall Strennun follows a slave to find a camp. The fighters of the crew assemble and prepare for the storm. Strennun turns invisible and enters the camp, killing several guards. Hearing fighting sounds, Brovara the captain and Rof also enter the fray killing several orcs and burning tents. It quickly becomes very clear that the orc warriors have left the camp and only the women, children and elderly are still here.



			==Leaving the embers==

			Brovara is collecting orc ears. We camp at the hill. The warriors went south. We take watch shifts. The captain wakes up to rabbit carcasses and cape. The captain adopts a slave without a name. Raschesh gets help by 'slaves' in his kitchen, which upsets him. Strennun walks through the camps remains. Captain orders to burn the corpses and we bake a big fire. Orc survivors leave the camp and we follow after them.
			The captain approaches the survivors and demands to challenge Thur'kan - Brovara helps intimidating the orcs. One of the orcs walks towards the captain, cuts off his ear and tosses it at Brovara. Strennun saw the orc approach the captain with a knife and casts a spell, immediately killing the orc. "We need both ears" - Brovara
			An older orc lady steps forward and tells the captain to go south to the great tree, then east hill and follow the stream, upon that hill you will find his fire.
			The captain and the elder orc meet later and sit down with a fire between them.
			What do you want? peace … for myself.
			There will be a decision that breaks you, you will find peace, your friend will make sure of it.
			Meet him at the oak, then he cannot refuse. The ork lady leaves to fetch Thur'kan.

			After the ritual the captains tells Rof the plan. A ghostly lady hugs the captain, Rof tries to pull the captain out. Ghost disappears. The captain tells Rof about the wolf.
			Strennun, who was following the tracks of the ork lady suddenly loses track as if she disappeared.
			Raschesch is mad about the salves taking his job.
