==== #2: "Neville" ====

Attendance: All present

**//11 May 1125//**

The party reassembled back at the //Wild Unicorn//, where "The Fixer" told them
about a manor house up in "The Highlands" -- several days march into the
wilderness.

**//12-19 May 1125//**

The party spent these days buying supplies and preparing for an extended (2 weeks or more)
overland expedition.

**//20-22 May 1125//**

Traveled from [[Hookridge]] to [[Marsvan]].

**//23-26 May 1125//**

Spent four days in [[Marsvan]], where Garril checked in with the Rangers.

**//27-31 May 1125//**

Traveled into the Highlands following the route "The Fixer" gave them.
Arrived at the Faramond manor house, but found it to be a burned-out ruin.

**//1-4 June 1125//**

Returned toward [[Marsvan]], following the same route they took up.

**//5 June 1125//** -- //(New Moon)//

On the night before reaching Marsvan, the party made camp on a dark and 
unseasonably hot night.  There, they met a wandering fighter named [["Neville"]].
After a brief (and unusual) conversation((At one point, Neville said, 
"But if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at 
all?" -- a phrase that meant nothing to the party at the time)), Neville 
jumped up and ran off to join an "invisible" fight occurring nearby.

Before the party could react and/or join the fight themselves, a group
of Dretch Demons swarmed into the camp.  The party managed to destroy all
but one of the demons -- the survivor shape-shifted into a winged demon
who promptly turned invisible and flew away.

When Neville returned to the camp, he declared enthusiastically that he
"knows what to do now" and promptly left.  A brief attempt was made to
follow him, but it seemed as though he vanished into thin air.

**//6 June 1125//**

Returned to [[Marsvan]].

**//7 June 1125//**

Stayed in Marsvan, where Garril made a routine report to the Rangers.
Others made some attempt to determine who "Neville" is, but made no
progress.

**//8-10 June 1125//**

Traveled from Marsvan to Hookridge.
