Coran,

 

 

            The Sapphire Zephyr ferried us safely back to Thunder Rift (I took my usual detour South and came in on the East side of the island; so as not to have to stomach my father’s presence) I am writing you this letter from my usual table at The Sarcastic Goat.

 

There is however something I think I should share with you about Neeve.  When I returned that morning from speaking with Grizlegar and the others, I was told that Neeve and Skoond were missing.  Fortunately, she showed up about an hour later and we set sail almost on schedule (but not before I dispatched one of my men to help Thrusting Justice with their mission).   

 

It seems Skoond had talked her into accompanying him on an early morning hike.  She did have the foresight to hire a guide but they were still captured by the very hill giants TJ is looking for and thank Kord TJ rescued them.  Skoond however stayed behind and seems to have joined Grizzlegar’s party.  He obviously has some kind of secret agenda.

 

Anyway, we are supposed to be meeting Menolly here this morning for breakfast.  I will write you again soon.
