Last seen / Current status

In Session #9, the party spoke with Gelda at The Wasp’s Nest about Daskinor’s brands and the danger of branded undead. Gelda was not persuaded, since her own brand came from another source. She pointed them toward a House Azeth bounty on Daskinor’s slavers operating about a day’s journey from Kurn. She continues to run The Wasp’s Nest.
