Book 4 Chapter 1

The party heads outside to Sir Charles' execution. He is led up to the noose and the executioner reluctantly asks him if he has any last words. Charles spouts off some nonsense about the law being out to get him before the executioner says, "That's enough," and kicks the stool out from underneath Charles. After a few seconds, Sir Charles is no more.

The crowd disperses, and after discussing their next move, the party decides to head north to the Karturam capital city to find a guide who will take them to The Neverending Peak. They each head off in different directions to purchase supplies for the climb, and Venkra goes fishing again. While fishing there, Venkra catches a 25 pound bass with three eyes, a local legend. He sells the fish at an auction for several thousand gold coins, and then goes to The Foundation Stone to have a party. The entire city gets in on the festivities, and the party wakes up the next morning in a completely different part of the city, with no idea how they got there.

The party heads off to the capital city, arriving late in the night on the 22nd of Reaping. They head to an inn and sleep for the night, after putting the word out that they are looking for a guide for the mountain.
