Exerpts From the Journal of Hrogar

The ranger has gone missing, the dwarf was nearly killed by a wolf, and a ghost asked us to aid her in finding final peace. Strange times indeed.

It started with an eventful night. Shelré noticed a light and sound from the bushes while we were on watch, and found what we eventually determined to be a ghost. The ranger went to wake the others, and as we were trying to find out who the ghost was and what she was doing there, we heard a lound noise from the camp, and arrived in time to find a wolf about to kill Fflam! We attacked, and the wolf was driven away.

However, in the aftermath, we found that Shelré was missing. We have not seen her since. I worry that she may have been hurt by the wolf, but surely she would have made some noise of struggle? Perhaps she went to hunt it down? But one would think she would have told us. And I am troubled by the discussion she privately had with me. But until I know more for sure, I will not make accusations.

After the rest of the group was accounted for, we went back and eventually communicated with the ghost through elven language. In short, she desires that her body be burned, so that she may at last be released.

We went north to continue looking for the cleric we seek out, also keeping an eye out for a graveyard the ghost spoke of that might contain her body. We found such a graveyard, and eventually discovered an ancient buriel site within it, that contained a number of bodies, placed in ritualistic places, and bound with magic wrappings. One of these, we believe, is the body that the ghost is tied to. However, I worry about following through on her wishes. These bodies were obviously placed in there for a reason, and may have committed terrible crimes, according to Hrefna. I sense that a great evil is being contained within the ground, and I fear by removing the body and burning it we will only serve to unleash yet another great evil upon the land.

For now, we are continuing our search for the Cleric of Thor, as he is likely to have information that may prove useful on the matter of the ghost and crypt. We will speak with him first, and try to make an educated decision.
