==== #7: "An Unholy Treaty" ====

Attendance: All present

**//19 Aug-25 Sep//**

Spend over a month in Riprap, consulting with Faun Mardau about both the Mimic Demon and
the recent increase in Goblin activity in the region.  She/he and the Gnomes reward the
party with a variety of magic items -- mostly potions and other alchemical items.

**//26 Sep - 1 Oct//**

Taking advantage of their relative proximity to the Faramond estate (see [[bb02|Session #2]]
and [[bb03|Session #3]]), the party opts to bypass the portal at [[Bearly]] and head overland
to return to civilization.

**//1 Oct//** -- //(New Moon)//

The party arrives at the Faramond estate just as the sun is setting.  Rather than wait
for the morning, they opt to explore at night.  Garril scouts ahead and discovers a
band of orcs camped nearby.

After a rousing battle, the party makes their way to the estate, where they are surprised
to find it intact.  Its main inhabitant is a vampire named "Balo", and rather than get
involved in a dangerous fight, they opt to make an alliance instead.

Garril is the only party member who vocalizes opposition.
