We get to the settlement and a trial begins.  The court becomes a bit
friendlier once Lam demonstrated her Selune stigmata, and we get fined
500 gp and have to perform an escort quest (it seems the elf we'd killed
during the previous altercation was not well liked).

As we escort Thessalia, dryads ambush us!  3900/6.5 xp.  There are trolls
on the bridge (not actually that threatening at this point thanks to
Akra's firey hammer)!  3600/6.5 xp, 11x 50 gp gemas, a gryphon mount,
110 gp.  At West Bridge, we trade the gryphon for a horse (having had
our fill of aerial encounters).  Finally, we arrive at the Kryptgarden
woods, and get paid 750 gp in gems for finishing the escort quest.
