Notes
Priestess Malana sends us to Thentia with a wagon carrying the three *Tenets of Bane* in a lead-lined chest. We are attacked by mercenary hobgoblins. On arival in Thentia, we learned we were a decoy. Rushing to Melvaunt to protect Malana, we began to search for her. She had planned to book passage on the Wind Dancer, the ship that took us out to find the second tenet disc, but she was late to report in. A little ratfink of a 12-year-old tried to swindle us for information, but enough gold brought out the truth that **Malana was captured by the Banite Tarmin Gald** and was being held in a warehouse. We stormed the warehouse, but found only a thayan warrior and some thugs as her paid captors. They tried to murder the Priestess, but our paladin made it to her in time to stabilize her while we slew the thugs. Gathering ourselves together, we find that we've just missed Gald's crew and, to stop him, must sprint back to the Wave Dancer, the hiding place of the tenet discs. Tarmin Gald and a dozen of his Banites had struck down the ship's wizard and were forcing Captain Lesiko to put out to sea. We cleared the docks quickly, stabilized First Mate Windsong, and launched a fuisilade at the banites on deck, slaying Gald and his lackeys before they were more than 10 feet from the dock. **We recovered the three tenet of Bane discs** and will guard Priestess Malana until they are safely in Elturgard.
