| Xebec similar to Azura's Star |
30/11: The Vorzin fast Xebec Azura's Star under Captain Pharn leaves Quodeth with a squad of Vorzin House Guard, Clerics & Wizards, bound for Katagia and the Temple of the Moon near Lake Haal. Turjak Bom is brought along as captive, his hands crippled.
14/12: Azura's Star encounters a storm east of Katagia, blowing from SW.
15/12: As the weather clears, Azura's Star encounters a giant sea crocodile attacking a Daray fishing boat damaged by the storm. The giant croc is killed by the Ammuran Sgt Sgrasko after it has killed most of the crew; a Daray fisher-girl is rescued.
17/12: Azura's Star reaches Katagia, dropping off the fisher-girl. Sgrasko gives her 10gp to help with the loss of her brothers and cousins.
18/12: Aeridnis Vorzin has an audience with Danoch Sarsane, Lord Protector of Katagia. He assigns her a Katagian Ranger, Leira, to assist her in her expedition through the Narthan lands to the Temple of the Moon. Expedition purchases a wagon (35gp + 5gp pilllows) and two draft oxen (30gp each).
19/12: Expedition leaves Katagia heading north; Turjak Bom in the wagon is harshly treated.
25/12: Expedition reaches the Shrine of the Widest Sky, the great Narthan barbarian temple of Mitra and recruits a Narthan priestess (& Guardian of the Nine), Amaria, to the expedition. She turns out to have a great hatred of the Black Circle and their agents. Turjak Bom is even more harshly treated.
28/12: A Wyvern attacks the caravan while the men are strung out, and despite a spirited defence, it carries off one of the Vorzin house guards to devour.
31/12: On New Year's Eve 2213 AR, the expedition reaches the edge of the Moonwood on the shores of Lake Haal. Leira & two guards remain with the wagon on the road while the others enter the woods a mile or so from the track. Nearing the Temple, while passing through a swamp they encounter an elven druidess, Faisa Ilyalni, fleeing a band of horrid Tcho-Tchos and their giant spiders. In the battle the elf druidess is nearly killed by a fireballfrom Fr Arcturus; both spiders and most of the Tcho-Tchos are slaughtered, but a Tcho-Tcho archer and their Lama escapes, while one of his summoned Nightgaunts carries off Sergeant Sgrasko from a ruined tower; the second man lost to winged demons.

Transcribed communication from Dhargo Maath of Thran to Turjak Bom found by Vorzin guards searching his villa:
Our allies failed to find the key when they carried
off the sage. My divinations suggest your friend
Plooth may have it. I am sending new assets to rectify
that oversight. They will bring the key to your house.
Unfortunately I cannot have them simply bring me
the key, so you must do so once you have it in your
possession. Send a report when you know your travel
arrangements—I will meet you at the Moon-Door.
