(OOC: This is the thread for the Tempest Shard. More to come soon)

(OOC: The other groups have representatives showing up to help organise, but in this case, Nurlan is completely in charge here. One thing he might want to do is choose a time later in the day to meet and then book Rayne for that time to give the group some more info)
(ooc: After seriously thinking about it, I've decider for various in and meta game reasons not to participate in the adventure. Nodis is returning to Orussus.)
Did Devlin travel to Medibaria with the large group? If so, I'd assume we've all had plenty of time to meet each other in-game, although that part was never roleplayed.
When Nurlan catches up to the group, he explains: "Good news and bad news. The good news is that Rayne will come by later. She has more to tell us, more that I hope will give us a better idea where and how to look. The bad news is that I just ran into Nodis in the corridor. You may have noticed him, he's the loner who conjured up his own sedan chair bearers to bring him here instead of travelling with the rest of us. He said he's got to return to Orussus. Didn't explain the reason. I imagine something came up suddenly. People who can conjure servants like that can also often get messages in strange ways, so who knows what news he has? Anyway, I think the six of us should be able to take on the job, but I'm going to get the word out that we can use another if there's someone available. I'll back soon."
He leaves yet again, returning a few minutes later.
I suggest delaying any real strategizing until Rayne gets here. Until then, talk about whatever we want. Rystil, maybe fast forward to Rayne's arrival as soon as everyone has checked in?

"Devlin, it's funny that were hanging out again. Did you meet my dog? Gruedelmach Van-Liebenshnernin Barimore the Eighth, sir. I found him while I've been out and about for the last year."

(OOC: Hmm, short Nodis, no? Sorry, couldn't resist the pun
@orsal--bringing Rayne after everyone introduces themself works for me)

"Ah, a dog with quite a lineage, from the name. Does he stand to inherit a large estate?" Nurlan asks with a twinkle.

"Gur, good to have you along with me." Devlin eyes the dog and slowly holds out his hand for it to sniff. "Wow, that name's quite a mouthful. Mind if I just call him Grue?"
The red-haired halfling introduces himself "Hiya all!! For those who haven't heared of me: my name is Talbin! At your service. I must say i'm really excited about all this! Hidden shards... ressurected dragons.. hidden cults! Can't wait to get topt he bottem of this! Anyway.. is there something to eat around here? Some stew maybe?"
Devlin turns to Tor. "Tor...why does that sound familiar? Oh, yes, I believe I heard some people mention you in the Red Dragon. Some rumor about you being some sort of dragonkin or something."
*Rayne arrives to give the group any remaining pointers she has.*
"The Tempest Shard apparently lies somewhere in the deserts surrounding the Tower of Wind. There are two areas of the desert known as Djinn's Lament and Griffon's Claw, both of which are nestled around strong ley lines of wind energy. It is likely that the shard will be somewhere in that region. However, it is incredibly vast. Finding the shard would be like finding a needle in the proverbial haystack, if the haystack was also covered with many tons of sand."

"How big is this shard? Is it a giant shard? Like say, fourty feet tall? Cause, ya know, I'm good at finding giants. It's no problem at all for me, see, I can spot a giant a mile away. Well... I guess everyone can. Either way, if your crystal is giant, I'm your man."

"Unfortunately, though the shards vary in size, the long side would be about a foot or two at most. Still, when you think about putting them all together, that's one enormous gem."

"Rumors are odd things, don't you think? Everything from the most prosaic comments to the most wild. They're often at odds with the truth, in my experience."
