Glimmer Creek Expedition
In order to play in this expedition you must have signed up here.
Glimmer Creek is located in a steep valley in the Silferfell Hills, north of Azzaru. The creek itself isn't particularly deep, but has been reported to be an excellent source of ore. The sides of the valley are covered with scrubby trees and shrubs, making the creek itself hard to spot initially.
Roderick Cogswell IV, who is interested in determining if the Creek is a steady source of ore, is leading the expedition. The group has spent the last 4 days on a steam carriage out of Azzaru. While at first they had a bit of a struggle finding the valley, the group has now arrived and can settle in. The base camp is located in the bottom of a valley, and is made up of a grouping of tents. It's not fancy, but thankfully the weather has been particularly nice
Once all the tents have been pitched one of Roderick's employee begins giving ore panning demonstrations, so everyone is ready to spot ore deposits. Once the demonstration is finished the group is turned loose in the valley to see what they can find.
