Back at Riverfork keep they met with Kiara in her meeting room.
The guards were Redmane and his cronies.
Redmane used the brownie sleep darts to put Kiara to sleep.
Tried to escape through the window with her, but Thalgrum stopped him- then killed him, hucking his head out the window to ward off any other bandits.
Thalgrum, Terielle, Siga, and Gregor stopped the bandits.
The captian of the guards grabbed the sleeping Kiara and moved her to safety.
When Kiara was better a week later, Thalgrum told her he was leaving for a month.
Siga made Thalgrum the phantom blade gauntlets during the week.
8-6-23 session
Thalgrum leaves Riverfork keep, and with him he takes:
>Morgrim Stonebeard: ranger, crossbow, axes--sends him to mining settlements in north to tell of the return of the king--has Thalgrum's seal
>Thrain Ironheart: dwarf fighter, warhammer--keeps him as body guard
>Siga
>Gregor
Thalgrum sends Morgrim to the "illegal" mining settlements in the north to tell Dwarves there to be ready for the 'return of the king'.
They meet a young cartographer on the road. Thalgrum tells him to tell Kiara that Aragorn sent him...
They make it to Luin

Enter at the north gate tower, they see a crowd gathers to see the hanging of four dwarves; they are accused by acting
Magistrate Cedric Briarwood of stealing from his own personal collection. In fact they stole back items he confiscated from them. Note Cedric's sidekick is named Grene.
Thalgrum steps in and he and his companions free the dwarves. The thankful Dwarven leader of the small band says he will meet Thalgrum on the road and the dwarves high tail it out of town.
With the excited crowd mocking Grene (who Thalgrum threw into the audience) and Cedric appearing with his personal guard, Thalgrum quickly leads the party trough town, evading the guards, to the stable and quickly buys 4 ponies. He then evaded the guards further and convinces the guard at the town's southern gate tower that he paid the horse purchase tax at the stable before leaving town.
