I got up in the middle of the night to write this because it haunted me so much that I couldn’t sleep (granted, sore throat and clogged sinuses made me sleep badly anyway). Also, caterwauling drunken carnival-goers gave me dreams of witches.

A trap!
Some people expected it to be a trap —even Raith did— but nobody expected it to be this. And not even I expected the other thing until I was on the bike the day after this session and thought about it. I think it was sparked by the GM saying something like “she’s actually quite happy in her quarters in this city”.

An old-fashioned duel
It looked like another round of the waiting game… until things started happening. And of course when things start happening, they all happen at once. This letter was written with interruptions (marked with a <hr>).

A curse on the land
Ayneth’s letter and Athal must have travelled on separate ships after all, because it has arrived and he is nowhere in sight yet. (Also, the eclipse hasn’t arrived yet; I’ll correct the priestess’ estimate after the fact.)

Ayneth’s letter to Raith
This letter, sent with King Athal’s ship, is wrapped around a package containing a small portrait painting and a heavy silver locket with a lock of thick dark red hair.

Marriages under the eighteen-fingered bush
This is part II of the letter from Dasht.
Caught in a canyon
Raith thought she was shaken by the previous battle, but this one shook her still more. Some of the fighting details may be off, especially the order in which things happened, but I think the gist is there.
This is Part I; Part II (much more cheerful) tomorrow or otherwise ASAP.

A hasty letter to the king
Written after the two letters to Ayneth and sent with the same ship. It should reach King Athal before he leaves Valdyas, but with the stormy weather we’ve been having lately it’s not entirely clear how long it will take to get to him.

The waiting game
Lots of things happen, but no substantial fighting: the next bout of that, barring skirmishes, will probably be at the gates of Solay.
This letter, and the previous, will probably arrive at some time, unless someone sinks the ship.
