Tarithnesti - Phase Two

Image
06 Deepkolt 349 AC THE PROTECTOR'S TOWER Commander Parnitha steps out onto the balcony of her office. She stares out over the river where Eilra is setting out in a narrow canoe with two rowers. The captain is heading out to check for places the Dragonarmy could cross the river. They tow a raft with bundles of sharpened stakes they plan on dropping into narrow bends to foul, or even better, punch holes in enemy boats. She turns and heads back inside. Her table is covered with a map that is in turn covered with tiny colored figures, each representing the troops she has scattered throughout the forest. Parnitha opens the top drawer of her desk and pulls out a tiny chest. She slowly opens it, revealing a green crystal on a silver chain. She hangs the chain around her neck and wraps her fingers around the crystal. "Hopefully, we never need you."

Road Trip to the Dragon Isles - Prince in Peril

Image
NOTE: This adventure is based on "The Riders of Khur" from DL15 Mists of Krynn.  26 Newkolt 349 AC It takes several days for Agnes to use her limited healing magic to mend the injuries suffered during the battle with the dragon. During that time, Davaa and Altan keep a surreptitious watch on the gates of Ak-Baral, keeping tabs on who is coming to and leaving from the city. Neither of them notice anyone who stands out. A troupe of merchants depart, bound for the southern settlements. A different group of riders leaves the next day, headed east. Two groups of Khurs arrive about three days apart, looking to trade in the city market. Altan sells his and Davaa's horses and acquires a pair of camels, telling Arthur that they are ready to leave when he is. "Lets get one last good night of sleep and get a few last minute items we may need and set off in the morning." Arthur heads to the market looking for any items that he may find useful for the trip. He searches ...
