Perrol tells us a story:

Vashturi (“Steelflame”) is an ancient blade of proud lineage. Ulronai legend tells that it was given by the gods to Kynerion, a Tala?rion-Corum, in the early years of the Second Epoch. It happened that a great force of Orcs came upon Kynerion and his band of warriors. Though they fought fiercely and true, they were sore outnumbered, and one by one they fell before the strength and wicked might of the Orcs. At last only Kynerion, his sword shat- tered by the force of his enemies’ blows, remained alive, and he fled, seeking to escape the Orcs and bring word of them to those of his people who dwelt nearby. And as he fled he found himself riding beside a rapid, rock-strewn river.

Of a sudden he looked up, and saw that ahead of him, by the side of the river, there was a great stone, and seated on the stone was a man, or so Kynerion took him to be. He was dressed all in black robes, and his face was hidden by a hood. In his right hand he held a greatsword, its point resting on the stone.
“Ho, Kynerion! You are sore pressed,” the man in black said.
“Aye, I am, Grandfather, but what of it? Still I live, and while I live, my foes know the meaning of fear.”
“But you have no blade anymore.”
“With my bare hands I will kill them, if I must, but a blade true and strong would be the better yet. What of the one that you carry? Will you give it to me, or sell it?”
“Sell Vashturi?” the man asked, now speaking in Ulronai. Then Kynerion knew him for more than he appeared, for no one, would speak the Tongue of Ulro to him that was also Ulronai. “It is beyond whatever price you could pay.”
“I would give all that I have, to own such a blade,” Kynerion said.
“And still it would be beyond your price. Vashturi must be earned by one noble of heart, and bold of deed. But you have earned it, Son of Ulro. I see in your soul the valor of a warrior born and blessed to the True Path.”
“My thanks, Grandfather. I will treasure Vashturi always, and in no wise will I dishonor it.”
“That is good, for you will have need of Vashturi’s sharpness, and your own honor, in the days to come. But look you!” he said, pointing back the way Kynerion had come. “Your foe approaches.”
Kynerion turned to look, and saw the Orcs coming towards him on their tall horses. “Quickly, Grandfather, the sword!” he said, but received no response. Turning back, he saw that the man was gone, but Vashturi remained, stuck into the ground beside the stone. Grasping its hilt, he pulled it forth, and rode to meet his foe. And though eight Orcs surrounded him, one by one he slew them, and Vashturi’s blade was baptized in blood.

We decide that we are going to have lunch back at the in and Bob tags along.

We get there and have some food.

Perrol sings.

A Ulronai is spoted durring Perrol’s set. He comes over to the table and a feel of dislike comes over the group.
Perrol and Jarlyn do their checks and Kross can only tell by basic body language that they did not find anything negative about the Ulronai comming our way. 
Says Greeting, we offer him a chair. He carefully rearranges his weapons and haves a seat. Says his name is Deltarion.
Perrol says that he knows a story of  him. He shows off the sword, there are 3 runes on the cross bar. He displays the sword blade by half exposing the blade from the scabbard. Perrol tells us a story about the sword (see above post).

Night passes and Day breaks x 3 days.

At the end of the day, there is a message for us to meet up in the morning.

Flash back: we find the out the Silvered Long Sword is related to the holy symbol (Godest Moon - Salea). We return it and get a single boon.

We are thinking about looking into the orc.

We walk into the Inn and see Mr. Miggins over at the corner table with 2 pitchers of beer (one empty and the other half empty). We are waved over to his table. Drunk happy. All but Ghoral go over. He orders 2 more pitcher of beer for us. He tosses a bag of gold onto the table. It is the 30 gold bounty for the guy in the Black Armor, which was part of the local Red Tallon. Mr. Miggins does mention that in ten day the locksmith building is going BOOM.

Perrol gets on stage and sings a few songs and does effect the croud durring the last song. Durring the song these two large guys come in and have a word with Mr. Miggins. Says after one more pitcher, he will leave. The two “guys” leave and after the pitcher is gone, so leave Mr. Miggins with a said goodbye. The mode livens up as Perrol continues to play.

Night passes.
