TL;DR - Owl dream, met Rinaldo, went to City Hall, found books in library and desecrated statue downstairs. Saw name drawn for sacrifice and different name selected, got more information and two gold from the captain. Headed out to docks and got a pair of boats - found the lost fishermen's boat near a cave in the mountainside. Were attacked by a pair of harpies that nearly killed Helvetica as several people fell into the water. Killed the harpies, and decided to take a short rest in the cave to rest and rejuvenate.

The note mentioned a Bartaban in Easthaven at the White Lady Inn... but before he could finish reading it the group was attacked by a Yeti - who swept up Xyrmoira with fearsome furry fingers and then attempted to flee with its prospective meal. Luckily, the combined power of magic, steel, and Zojo's encouragement felled the beast before it could escape into the snow. They continued on and reached Easthaven, where Xyrmoira took stock of the city using detect magic and noted some dwarf-sized footprints with a tinge of illusion magic - and the group decided to split up to view the city, with Alerayas and Dirk seeking out a church and the rest looking for the White Lady Inn that Elder Cain had mentioned. What they found was more than they bargained for - on their way to the inn they bore wit...
