Lost Dispatches of Feraso #41 - Death from Above

8th of the Month of HexDec in the Imperial Year of 1023

Town of Reisenhain, Gran Duchy of Vrianos, Kingdom of Ras-Prythax

To His Lordship, the Viscount Wilfrick of Verbobonc,

We emerged from the chasm in the Soten Forest and arrived in the Town of Resienhain.  We expected our adventures to net us some free drinks at least, but we were largely ignored.  An elf had dropped an explosive tale onto the townsfolk and everyone was still reeling.

No, it was not that "infernal elf" that seems to taunt me.  Rather,  another elf, Fingeln Finnoggan, a "magician", arrived in town raving about discovering the body of a dead blue skinned giant into the wilderness.  Of course, we resupplied and followed the crowds far out of town.  

I'm still amazed the elf was telling the truth.  After working through a crowd of gawkers, we found ourselves in front of a massive 20' blue corpse with a foul smell about it.  

Most of the others ripped apart the surrounding countryside for clues, but we bid our time and we given an opportunity to examine the corpse, we discovered something the others had not.  

The fall hadn't killed the clould giant.  His fall to earth had been quite recent, but he had been dead for days prior.  

A quick scan of the crash area netted us one important clue others had missed:  this cloud giant was tossed from a moving, flying vehicle, heading into Hermetus.  

Yours in Service,
