It had been some time since Cara had written in her journal.
Taking it out of her desk she opens and writes.

" For the most part lately, things have been uneventful since the Horde was put down. The Archdruid has been given me harder and harder quests.
Ever since the major fiasco recently at the Abandoned Tower in South Aloar, people have been scarce as to being available to assist others.

A new air of intrigue seems afoot, reports of hightened security around various red wizards estates. An apprentice named Jutta has been charged by her master to hire adventurers to find out if the rumors are true.

I decided to go as things were slow. The others who arrived as I did were his omnipotence Hazlok, Daeris,Mirella, Neb'tha,Garic, Khal, Cassae and the drow wench Shuri'dil. We were tasked to go to the High Thay gold mines as rumors of possible decption on the part of the Tharchion by the red wizard known as Rhym,

We were all to go there as the mercenaries hired by the Tharchion supposedly to check out unusal disturbances. We could not wear anything that would identify our factions and Hazlok and Khal could not wear there respective robes.

Naturally we ran into some flack from the slave master and mine guards but were cleared by the Tharchion. We finally entered the mines but things just did not seem quite right. A dwarf who seemed to be a leader of the workers and whose name escapes me, that some of the shafts in the lower levels were collapsing but not in a natural way. Also reports of gnolls and other creatures below.

We were quite intrigued but were ordered to only patrol the main level. We decided to forget the orders and descend as we also learned the Tharchion was down there. We fought all matter of creatures and finally made it to the Tharchion.
Omnipotence Thrune asked the Tharchion questions but he was being highly evasive. Frustrated we could not find out more we left. As we were leaving we heard one of the Tharchion's men yell that we were imposters as the real mercenaries had arrived. We hurried to find the exit as we could here footsteps behind us. Suddenly a portal appeared and we stepped in, back to Jutta's master.

A report was given and we were rewarded and dismissed. I have a feeling this was not the end. The reds are always plotting and planning."
