Campaign Chronicles

26 Gildember 348 AC Curious about the sensation he felt when researching Takhisis, Ra’ziir ponders returning to the Tower at Wayreth to consult with the Order of the Black Robes. He ultimately thinks better of it and instead concludes that the wizards there will likely offer little insight into the divine.  Shadow leaves the Council chamber silently and claims Cassidy from the guards before they leave the Hall. Once he finds the little scamp, he says, “Nice try on the disguise but you really need to learn a bit of magic or actual tradecraft. But I got to give you props for trying.” Cassidy laughs, "I thought that my thespian skills served me quite well. It stinks that Ornie got in trouble with those elves though." Shadow nods, “Let’s go see what the low folks have heard.” Using the story of the skirmish with the dragonmen as an opener in taverns and restaurants, merchant stalls and back alley "fell out of a wagon" types, he hopes to spark a conversation that will ...

26 Gildember 348 AC Grotto is totally lost in his own thoughts. The only things that bring him back to the moment are the raps of the gavel. He hears the barbs and snide remarks but the words may as well be the chirping of birds in the distance. He continues to weigh the offer of becoming head master of t he healers college. Kysek unable to hold his tongue any longer as Ornforithalas is; in his opinion being disrespected steps forward. He slightly bows as he says, “Esteemed council members. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Sir Kysek Creepingshadow Knight of the Barrie Grange. Rest assured; we were not out and about to break treaties. We were out to lay witness to unverified rumors of your enemy possibly breaking the very treaties you speak of. We were out to observe; should we have found the evidence we needed, we were merely going to bring it back and report it. We were ambushed on our journey by something worse than the goblins we expected. We were ambushed by Dragonfolk who were ...

26 Gildember 348 AC Ornforithalas rises. "Members of the Council, that is an oversimplification. We had received reports of goblin activity along the Bay. These goblin reports had been notated on a map, along with potential giant sightings. I determined that a more thorough investigation was justified." Elamyar, the red wizard, cuts him off several times and something about his attitude makes it seems that he is personally angry at Ornforithalas. Daebella, the scarred female, is more detached but still comes across as mad, and although most of her ire is also directed at the guard captain, it "feels" more like a professional disagreement on her part. Cedron, being an outsider takes in the dynamics of the council. He tries to determine the power-structure of the members both implicit and explicit. “I fear anything we say will be used against us or our allies.” He thinks to himself. “Maybe the most productive conversations are held outside the forum.” He continues t...

22 Gildember 348 AC Grotto shares a bit of the flask with Lorraine and gets to know her better. She invites him to sit, "You have the makings of a great healer within you. I was quite impressed by your lesson today. It should come as no surprise to you that I am old. I would like to retire soon. It would be a comfort to me if I knew someone competent was running the House when I am gone. I would like for that to be you." Grotto blushes and smiles at the request. "I am flattered that you think so highly of me and my skill. I would love to teach generations the ways of a healer. The only drawback to this offer is that i am unable to commune with my god, Hanseath. I made a pledge to him when my life was saved from misery and torment through his works. Also, how would a dwarf be accepted leading such a prestigious post here in this place of elves? You are the only one here to make me feel welcome." Grotto says sadly, his words trailing off to his thoughts of loneliness...

22 Gildember 348 AC Ra’ziir delves deeper into his studies. He looks for any additional information on Death Maw and the Solamnic Knights. Information about the dragon is limited mostly to the tome he already found but there are several apocryphal references in a handful of reports dating back to the last war. On the subject of the Solamnic Knights, he finds dozens upon dozens of books about them. He quickly learns that they are a brotherhood of noble warriors sworn to an Oath, "Est Sularus oth Mithas" - translated as "My Honor is My Life" and are bound by a code of behavior known as the Measure which consists of thirty-seven three-hundred page tomes. There are many who blame the Knights for the Cataclysm as one of their number, Lord Soth, had a chance to avert the Cataclysm but turned from his quest for selfish reasons. Shadow takes Cassidy to find something to eat and passes the time telling him about his Drow upbringing and his people's extensive use of poi...

22nd Gildember 348 AC Cedron informs the others that he is taking a few hours to make a visit to the Tree of Progress to pray. He invites Arthur and anyone else who wishes to join him for some prayer and meditation. Arthur follows along and is joined by Agnes. The silver-haired elf, clad in a green dress trimmed in white with a leather belt trails quietly, walking beside the paladin. "I am glad to see that you have returned unharmed." The pair follows Cedron to the Tree and sits quietly while he prays. Agnes simply watches and listens to his words, fascinated by his piousness - something unheard of since the Cataclysm. When he is done, she asks, "Your god, this Malazzarr , does not answer your prayers. How do you know that hasn't turned from you as our gods have turned from us?" "Agnes, because I have faith, and I know that the gods are not as omnipotent, as some teachings may suggest. Our gods need us as much as we need them. So, I know the same way a b...
