"So thou will bring the jewels to Skara Brae this Thursday then?", said a noble looking man with thick beard. Videric Gaveston nodded slowly and replied in his usual self-sure manner: "Aye, I will deliver them from Deepwater to the Skara Brae in safety of the caravan, nothing canst go wrong milord." The noble smiled: " Good and after thou have done so, thou shall be rewarded. But remember this! My daughters wedding is an important matter, and I will not take it lightly if ye for instance wouldst try to run with the gold I give ye in advance." Videric gave slight grin and answered quickly: " Dear good sir, doth this face look dishonest? thou canst relay on Videric Gaveston."

Few days passed and soon it was Thursday night, and Videric walked to the front of the Owl's Eye -tavern and smiled. It seemed that a lot of people was going to join again, perhaps even more than on the last time. One of the faces at the tavern who got Videric's attention right away was Telor Gorn's, as he was rather in-famous of his evil deeds in the past. However the word had been that he had reformed and was a honest nowadays, perhaps he had done time in jail. But as Videric was on good spirit he trusted Telor this time.

Telor Gorn joins the Caravan.

Chieftain Ogodei

Of course there was many other faces he knew. Ogodei, The chieftain of the nomad tribe, was a noble sight. Even at his age he was still leading the tribe and looked as healthy and strong as an oak. Other interesting guest was straight from the Lycaeum of Moonglow, a sage named Eden Delany. It was not often when sages from there would come to village as small as Deepwater. Of course some friends of Videric were there also like, Flora Riboflavin and Yoldran to mention few. Also quite many Deepwater guards took interest on the caravan.

Eden Delany

After the usual preparation, the caravan took off towards Yew. The journey went painlessly and some even said it was too quiet. And in a way they were right, as there was going to be dark times ahead. At Yew all gathered up, and to everyone's surprise a stranger dressed in deep green robe rode towards the Caravan at the Yew abbey. First Videric thought it must be seer Aymer who had been with the first caravan, but he understood his mistake as under the hood was a female face. She was seer Sharisha, who apperently was a good friend of Aymer's. Everyone was of course glad to see so her, as seeing Lord Britishes messengers was always an honour.

The dark news

However her news were not merry, she was looking to find seer Aymer and was worried that he might have been captured by the foul Orc diplomat and his dark army. Further proof to the matter was that she had found Aymer's black staff at greens of the mainland area of Skara Brae, at the very same place where the orc forces had attacked the first caravan. Indeed this was grim news to all.

It was decided that seer Sharisha would come with the caravan and that the caravan would inspect the Skara Brae area. And so the journey continued to guardsmen militia's base where the scouts of the caravan were already waiting. From there the caravan with escort of few more guards continued towards Skara Brae with haste. But near Orc Fortress the unsuspected happened... two vile brigands ambushed from the woods at a moment when the caravan was only protected by few guards. Drake, Videric's steed, fell and the dark cloaked villains took the chest. A bloody fight followed and the brigands were beaten to ground, and only bearly crawled to deeps of the forest. But caravan suffered as well, many of the guards were seriously injured and knocked out by the villains. The identity of attacker was never revealed. After the attack was over, and everybody was on their feet again, there was only one thing to discover: the cargo had been stolen. Videric was furious to himself for letting the brigands to surprise the caravan, but other managed to get him to calm down a bit. Fateful friends and guards scouted the forest but the chest was not found. As the caravan had already lost much time on the attack, it was decided that the caravan should head straight to Skara Brae with the seer so that Aymer might be discovered before it was too late. Seer Sharisha took the lead but because of poor weather and speed of her brown horse the escort lost her near at furious run towards Skara Brae. In hopes of finding her Skara Brae and Spiritwood area were search, but nothing was found. It reminded mystery what happend to her. Videric was beaten, he had lost the cargo and now also the seer who he was escorting. He sat down heavily on the stool of Spiritwoods fine tavern. He felt like crying, but as a grown man he would not do such a thing, instead he emptied a bottle front of him. But then once again something that he did not expect happened, many of his friend and people he did not even know, came to him and tried to cheer him up. They told him that he should not blame himself as there was very little anyone could do different at the today's situation. The situation was very heart warming and Videric was very touched how people talked nice things to him about the caravans. After the some drinks and talk at the tavern Videric retired to take a good nights rest, as he certainly needed it. On the very next morning he started to think a way to make back what he had lost and how to find the lost seer. A third Caravan started to form in his mind... At Spiritwood tavern
