Silvanost and Kurinost

Image
04 - 07 Newkolt 349 AC  After arriving at the Tower of Wayreth, Romulus gets a room for himself and secures a laboratory for his personal use. Menathradon comes looking for him as soon as he hears of the halfling's arrival, wanting to know more about the attack on Silvanost.  Romulus only replies, "I do not have the words to properly convey the devastation. In all, there were twelve dragons. They were above the city for no more than one minute. Close to 3,000 of your people killed, thousands upon thousands more injured. You should go. The people will need help rebuilding." The halfling excuses himself and retreats into the workshop he has procured and gets to work, spinning enchantments and augmenting his defensive arsenal. Meanwhile, back in Silvanost, Ra'ziir, Shadow, and Kysek all begin interviewing prospective squad members. All three seek some combination of martial skill, stealth, magical aptitude, and a certain, shall we say "anti-establishment" minds...

Mustering of the Troops

Image
04 - 07 Newkolt 349 AC Upon seeing the scorched bees in place of where he believes his friends should be, Kysek reaches out, utilizing his ring of sending. He realizes it’s a long shot but he calls out the names of his friends asking if they’re okay. He waits only briefly for a response he’s certain won’t come. Kysek accepts his medallion. He says, “I am humbled by your gratitude, however there are those who live within your walls that deserve this more than I. As for a seat on your council, I can act as a steward. I cannot accept in whole as I have a place not of this time or space where my wisdom is needed. There will be men within your city who will step up and prove worthy of the seat you offer to me. Great men are born of hardship. They’ll make themselves known before this ordeal ends. As it is; there is much work to do. There are many preparations to be made.” Romulus declines the commission. "I have no business leading troops in battle but I will help where I can." ...

Silvanost - An Unexpected Offer

Image
04 - 07 Newkolt 349 AC Kysek finding it odd that a bee would be buzzing about in the cold; thinks about the not so distant past and the ring of scorched bees where Ornforithalas and his wife should have been. “Could it be?”, he says aloud yet softly. Knowing his wife had at least some magical prowess, he holds out his right hand to the buzzing insect. “Ornforithalas?” A voice answers from somewhere behind Kysek. "Oh, sae claise. Tis a'maist lik' yin o' ye haes a brain." Kysek turns to look for where the voice is coming from. Not 100% sure what the voice was saying he replies, “Of course I have a brain.” The elf strains to piece together the rest of the statement as he searches for the source of the voice. Knowing Bubo's hearing will be much better than his own; he mentally tells his familiar to listen closely as well. As he turns, Kysek sees a black cat with a white patch on its chest. The beast is easily the size of a mastiff with its forelegs wrapped in l...

Silvanost - Funerals for Friends

Image
01 - 04 Newkolt 349 AC Shadow listens to the rousing speech by the Elven Elder and turns to Raven and the others, “To think that after all this, after clawing my way out of the Underdark, after traveling all over creation to end up here fighting a Dragon Army for a bunch of pale knife-ears. The irony of it all. I love this plan. I am excited to be a part of it. Let’s do it.” Raven, rarely jovial even in the best of times, simply nods and tells his dark elf friend, "I will be down by the waterfront. I need to speak with Eilra's crew. Let me know when we are moving out." Romulus, walking with his feet wrapped in bandages and leaning on his staff announces, "I will be at Wayreth. I must make some modifications to my gear. I will return as quickly as I am able." Shadow speaks up, “Rom, I would like to go with you and see if we can discover more about the Dragon Queen and how to kill her dragons and these dragon men.  Hopefully there some weaknesses we can exploit...

Silvanost - A Declaration of War

Image
01 Newkolt 349 AC As soon as Grotto heard of Lorraine's awakening, he headed to the temple. It greatly upset him to see his friends and mentor so badly wounded but he felt joy that she was alive. The battered dwarf went to her with a chair in hand and told her to rest. His students bandaged his injuries then supervised the treatment of the inflow of the injured. He gave the healers vials of his alchemical mixture. "Give a small bit of this to those beyond help. Do not let them die alone. These drugs in this undiluted form work quickly," Grotto told them solemnly. Shadow commanded his two elemental “friends” to help put out fires and remove rubble as long as the spell binding them to his command lasts. He soon learned of the House of Healing being destroyed and hurried there. He found his way to the makeshift temple and offered his three healing belt powers to save three on the brink of death. His magical belt’s powers used up for the day, he left to find the others. As ...

Malazzarr's Temple in Lankhmar

Image
While adventuring in Lankhmar , the party completed a job for the local Overlord and were granted possession of an abandoned temple dedicated to Tyaa , goddess of birds. Her worshipers had been driven from the city several years prior following a scandal and the building had stood vacant ever since. While most of the party was away tending to other matters, the group's primary wizard remained behind to prepare their new home for habitation. Note #1: At this point, the party's spellcasters were suffering from debilitating pain every time they tried using their magic. This was related to the creature that would serve as this portion of the campaign's Big Bad. Romulus rises early, knowing he has an important meeting to attend. He takes a carriage over to Marr’s office to review the paperwork transferring the abandoned temple of Tyaa from the City of Lankhmar to the party. With that completed, the halfling makes a trip back to the River District and then to the tem...
