[QUOTE="kmdietri, post: 5750946, member: 1549"] [b]Chapter 3, Episode 5 (June 10, 2011):[/b] Characters: Nemis Figstone; Srongheart Halfling, Spellthief 6 Grymtoe Stronghand; Dwarf, Evoker 6 Grittil Rockstaff; Dwarf, Cleric 6 Crackerin Twain; Strongheart Halfling, Druid 5 Kaotis Psylon; Elan, Psychic Warrior 5 Begin Log: Day 38 (Alturiak 6, 1370DR) We buy and sell treasure and provisions for the rest of the day. We rest. Day 39 (Alturiak 7, 1370DR) We set off to inspect the ship, we use our rowboats to get there faster. As we're approaching, we're set upon by spiders. We defeat most of the spiders and cage a bunch of them. 3 of them remain 'calmed' in the trees while we cage up the unconscious spiders. We decide what to do. We load everything up in our boats. Crackerin hears a loud shriek in the distance. He turns into an eagle and goes and investigates. He sees a Green Dragon in a cove, with a bunch of ruined buildings and a wrecked ship sunken in the cove. We set about making two trips, We take an assortment of animals back on our first trip. We tell Bonavin Vet that all the remaining animals are caged on the ship and ready for him to retrieve them. He gives us 300 gp now, and says he'll give us the remaining 300 when the rest are gathered up. This guy doesn't know Nathan Lowduke, but he thinks he's a ranger but he doesn't know where. Says he may be in the camps. He also tells us that there is a meeting set of the War Council of Lyceum. We make camp and rest for the night. As our fame grows we are visited by several through the night. Crackerin goes about spreading charity and healing. The night otherwise passes uneventfully. Day 40 (Alturiak 8, 1370DR) The next morning the drizzle has increased to a steady rainfall and wind seems to be picking up... We wake, as we're about to set off for Lyceum, a human male wanders into our camp. He's wearing a large brimmed hat with a feather plume. An odd looking fellow. 'Ah, it is the famous Attercop retrievers?" "Lowduke is my name." We negotiate with Lowduke for the Egg. He doesn't have it on him, but for the right price he could be convinced to give him what you're looking for. 5000gp and he'll tell us where it is. We agree and Crackerin and Nemis decide to cover the cost. He says he wants 500 up front just to fetch it. We give him the 500gp deposit and tells us to meet him at his tent in one hour. An hour later he returns with a rather good size sack. Inside his tent he quickly reveals his cargo. He warns us that it's not to be done lightly in carrying around a dragons egg. We travel to the shipwreck with the dragons egg. Crackerin continues on in a boat to the Dragon's area, while the rest of us return to the ship to await his return. The Dragon emerges, "who dare be so bold to enter Nyzala's lair?" Crackerin says he has news of her egg. "Bring me my egg and I'll let you live." Crackerin asks for assurances that she will not harm the prisoners. She's willing to agree to the terms if she can meet that deadline. Crackerin makes the deal, says he'll be back by noon. Crackerin leaves the boat and returns through the air as an eagle so that she can't follow very easily. We all row back in our remaining boat. We see a rather large shadow flying overhead. She comes flying over and grabs the egg from us. She then returns carrying the limp forms of 3 wounded men, which she drops into the water near by. We retrieve them form the water. The dragon says she'll keep up her end of the bargain. She then says if we bring her Lowduke alive she has more she can offer us. We start rowing back to the first shipwreck. During the trip back, the sailors tell us that Lowduke betrayed their entire crew by stealing the egg, and leaving the crew to die. They also tell us about a magic Lyre that the Dragon possesses which can quickly build buildings. We return to the first ship wreck, and we see that all the animals have been recovered and that there are people there working on fixing up the ship. Crackerin helps with their repairs using his woodshape spells. We then head back to town. The sailors ask to be put up until they can make their own way. We tell them to make themselves at home in the camp. When we get back Katrina is waiting for us. "Come quickly, the war council is waiting for us." We follow her to the Lyceum compound. It's surrounded by a low stone building and grey stone buildings. The central tower is called the Orad tower, and 8 storey 60 foot wide tower. We are led into a chamber and introduced to Headmaster Simeon Goenock. He invites us all into an adjoining room shaped like a lecture hall. It is well lit. In walks a Dwarf named Keirnen Steckert, introduced as the head of the War Dept. He ensures us that no one can endanger us as long as they remain within 20' of the centre of the room. Besides ourselves, there is Simeon, Keirnan, Lorn Votgard, Lee Sidoneth, Giorgio, Dassen Embassedor Kee... a lot of important people. Simeon presents an introduction, and then begins. "Lets keep it brief and to the point. We have a great task ahead of us, to save the lives of all our friends, families... Ragesians have set about conquering all of its neighbours. He then takes a seat and asks each individual to speak in turn... Lorb Votberb, Magistrate of Sequen, he speaks against the refugees. Wants to bring in every refugee for questioning so that they can get a hold of things. Lee Sidoneth. a bald hydromancer. In charge of matters of sea safety. Thinks it's probably best so that most of the ships not be peered, says north harbor is too crowded. Commander Xavias Foebane is an ambassador of Dassen, a Dwarf who wants Sequen to form an alliance with any country that will stand against Ragesia. Wants to use Sequen's mages. Wants to locate the torch of the burning sky. He believes that Leska has already begun searching for it. He has a group in mind who can search for it. But these warriors serve Dassie's king. L'Aurelbeck Adelsberg is an eagle riding holy warrior. Speaks about her desire to make a difference in the war, but not allowing their forces in tearing themselves apart. Makes reference to the Erinyes that we killed. Cites problems with shortages of food water and shelter and religious differences. Doesn't like how refugees are seen as outsiders and a burden on the city. She starts to go into specifics, but Votberg interupts. Giorgio the flamboyant Wayfarer presents the Wayfarer's knowledge have about the dangers of teleportation. With a smile he says they're willing to break their neutrality and side with Sequen if it looks like Sequen can actually beat Ragesia. He also presents everyone with a ticket to a play they are putting on in a few days time. The ambassador from Dassen. Says that King Steppengard is displeased with all the refugees traveling through their land. But thinks it wiser to get a pact of neutrality with Ragesia. Ambassador from Sindair is an aged Gnome, who wants to resist Ragesia, but can't support Sequen as it will be too dangerous to risk an attack from Ragesia. As for the torch, he believes it is in the old emperor's castle named Korstul located in the centre of a fire storm. Ambassador of Ostalin finally speaks. She is a Half-Elf who is only interested in aiding Sequen if it is profitable for their nation. But is willing in lending his armies if people will trade their land for the kings armies supports. Katrina stands and extols our virtues to the council. Reminds everyone that we are a thorn in the Ragesian's sides. She looks to us and says we have new and vital information to provide the council in the effort against the Ragesians. We proffer the book of military information. It starts an argument. Suddenly the door opens and we see a human mage into the room. But is thrown back. The mages comes too, and says that a group of elves are approaching the council chamber. Simeon says we should greet them politely, but just in case, be prepared for a fight... End Log. Day 40 (Alturiak 8, 1370DR). [/QUOTE]
