*Tess started setting things up seriously after finishing training with the general on 1026/09/01.*

Travel down to Jhengal to interview Daya, who was a resistance priest who worked with 
Grey a bit. Daya was able to cast Divination. 

*3 days to get to Gola Keep, in Jhengal (light horse travels 48 miles per day) 1026/09/04.*
Daya in large empty stone building. Living in a simple room, barefoot, but wearing
rich robes. 

Gola Keep is about 10 days underground from Tess' Grakkalian Base. 
Daya is happy to help if we let him know in advance of when his assistance will be
needed.

Tess teleports to Wendar to find druid near Wendar capital. Many Alfheim Elves there. 
Safranna comes along. Xeras has a child now. 

*2 days in Wendar 1026/11/07.*
to contact druid with Safranna. Cost of 1,750gp for Darielle to be awakened, with the
money donated to help the Alfheim Elves.
Druid also finds a small owl for Tess to have as a familiar.

Darielle speaks Elven (Alfheim dialect), Sylvan, Darokinian.
Int 14, +2 Charisma, +2 HD (3 HD).

Tessarael speaks in Elven with an Alfiesh accent, "Darielle, you've been a loyal companion 
... I wanted to give you more choice in what you wanted to do, and reward you for your 
friendship. You're free to go and do whatever you like if you wish, or you can accompany 
me as before, or I can offer you the underground home ... it's up to you. I can even offer 
you a job," which Tessarael said with a smile. "That would give you the opportunity to get 
some stuff that you like." 

Tess sat down at Darielle's level, and was quiet for a bit so that Darielle could speak.
Darielle wandered over and hopped up on Tess' shoulder. Tess will smile and ruffle her 
behind the ears. Tess will laugh happily and continue giving her the usual attention :) 
Darielle says she will see about the job. Tess nods. Later Darielle says she enjoys 
hanging out with Tess, and is happy to do that for the moment.

We go and find Xeras on the same day. 
Safranna can't enter without Xeras' explicit permission, as Safranna is a vampire.
Xeras has been taking her child for swimming lessons. Xeras gives an update on local
antics. Xeras gets a stormy expression at the mention of going to Phoranin and Tess'
wedding ... Tess mentions it won't be in Shadow Elven territory. Safranna was calm
in response. Xeras says goodbye warmly to Tess, after Tess excuses himself to let
them talk.

Tess finds a wizard in Wendar who is willing to make cloak and boots of Elvenkind.
Tess will contact them in due course.

*Tess memorizes teleport location in Wendar capital.*

Tess pays for T'saz to have familiar pocket. Cost will be 7,200gp to enchant
masterwork bandolier with familiar pocket.

*day in Serraine 1026/11/08.*

*Remaining 47 days of 2 months setting things up takes Tess to 1026/12/27*

Sources of roguish people: a few military, many from slave caste.
Daya checks with Detect Lie: two guys are not there for loyalty for Tess or Sind or 
against Hule. They clam up and won't talk - both friends. The plan was to sell the 
information about Tess' organization to the highest bidder. Tess has them in jail and 
will tell Kvana, and let Kvana choose their punishment.

*Two days until these guys cracked. 1027/01/01.*
