They wiped out a good number of the Briarwood Brothers' marauders, as well as a good number of the Black Fang gnoll pack and their canine forces. During the trip, the group also heard a wolf howl in the distance upon occasion, but it was unclear if they came across the wolf doing the howling. Asp paid the group an additional bounty for bringing in a captured sub-chief (beta) of the Black Fang. alive.

The tome's contents led the group to an abandoned home a few leagues away from Nethentir. After the disposal of a few apparitions, the Red Wizard finally claimed what he was looking for.

The Tharchion dispatched Autharch Mardikan of The Priador, Tribune Aethon Tane of High Thay, Darnell Reese of the House of the Hand, wanderer Taygra Tigerfist and the slaves Delia and Honoria Reynn to investigate.

1359 DR 1 Eleasias - Drow legion patrols outside the segment of Jenn'Yxir have encountered the Cult of Ibrandul performing rituals to their strange god and disrupting trade.

1359 DR 13 Eleasias - The duergar Korgan and tiefling Arvir raided a building that was being occupied by the Cult of Ibrandul outside the walls of Pyarados. They found the cultists had been slain already, and rescued two hostages who turned out to be from Nethjet. Apparently, while gathering things from Nethjet's extensive network of tombs (blink dog blood, darkness demon teeth, essence of wraith) one of the cultists found and ate some strange looking orange and green mushrooms. Upon returning to Pyarados, the cultist apparently was transformed, or used as a vessel, for the fabled Pumpkin King to be reborn, and upon his return he slew the cultists and escaped down into the sewers. While apparently the Pumpkin King left to head to Nethjet, he left behind some oozing pumpkin guts, shambling pumpkins, and a pumpkin prince in the sewers, which were eliminated. Nethjet beware!

1359 DR 18 Eleint - Following the disappearance of Thazar Keep, the rogue Red Wizard known as the Masked One is labeled an enemy of Thay and to be attacked on sight. Also, the worship of Ibrandul is punishable by slavery for the first offense and death in the second.

1359 DR 6 Nightal - The battle of Thazar Keep began and ended in a matter of hours. The amount of Drider corpses that laid inside and out the walls resembled almost a month's worth of combat.

The surviving legionnaires are tended to by the priest and priestess of Selune, though their numbers are running thin...
