[QUOTE="Shieldhaven, post: 2814159, member: 23427"] Naturally, it didn’t take all that long for the Dean to answer the question of What Comes Next. He sent us to talk to Associate Professor Bran on the third floor of the Dorthenon building – History department. Turns out that Bran was ejected from Darguun for “inspecting” structures the locals regarded as holy. He further discovered indications of similar structures in Droaam, all relating to the end of the Dhakaani Empire. There was evidence of contact between the goblins and the dragons in those ruins, a dagger with a dragonscale set in its crossguard. He claims that he had official permission to be in Darguun, so he was ejected while the rest of his team was animated as undead and set to guard the same ruins he had been studying. I find this to be abhorrent beyond words – to say nothing of Bran’s mostly-blithe recounting of these grim details. He’s much more concerned with the delay to his studies than the loss of his entire team, which I find inexcusable considering how much I and my companions have suffered for one another. They discovered also directions to a lair, possibly a dragon’s lair, in the Byeshk Mountains. This is where it really gets tricky for us. The lair was last known (with certainty) to be inhabited around 10 millenia ago. But it’s the Byeshk Mountains that have everything to do with the prophecies surrounding the handaxe that started us off and sent us scrambling around Sharn. I need to review my notes and get a clearer head about what we’re doing. The Dean has returned the axe to me, and I am carrying it inside an enchanted glove. Gerron has been sent alone to the Shadow Marches, carrying a message on the Dean’s behalf to House Tharashk. Since this leaves us a man down, he has also assigned a new warrior to join us, a warforged who fights with a spiked chain & whose name I can’t seem to recall. He’s (I take him to be an essentially male personality) painfully literal and entirely lacking a sense of irony or sarcasm that so defines my style of conversation. He doesn’t seem to be one of the ones who tries to “fit in” with the humans or be like us all that much. He can do what he likes, but I’m still trying to find a common ground on which to relate to him. Also, he’s in many ways an outsider – he hasn’t had months in which to build up a nice healthy resentment of the Dean the way the rest of us have. Nothing to do for it, though. The Dean supplied us with two wands, the like of which I’ve not seen before. One casts arcane bolts twice a day, but otherwise never runs out of charges; the other does the same for Maeve’s basic healing spell. It was, I would say, an unexpected help. I have also mastered four additional spells – Mnemonic Enhancer and Thousandfold Step by my own studies, and Diver’s Breath and Unweave Psionics from scrolls I purchased. I enchanted the warforged’s spiked chain and Fel’s offhand blade, and scribed a few more spells as well. It drained me, but not terribly. I had planned on doing more, but Gerron’s departure changed things. I hope that the warforged is half the tactican that Gerron is. We are preparing for departure; Maeve is terribly interested in painting the bottom of the flying boat the color of the sky, ignoring the fact that the sky’s color is entirely unreliable. Fel has developed more of a command over the air elemental in the boat and objected strongly. Some questions that remain: What will we face when we reach the lair? What has all of this got to do with the handaxe? Are we fulfilling prophecy, and if so, how disastrous will this really be? Does any of this relate to the prophecy from the druids’ observatory in the Eldeen Reaches? Will Maeve sober up in time for our departure… or arrival? [/QUOTE]
