Interlude from "C" I have meditated much on the above events. While I have gone deeper into the story than before, I feel...in truth, I know...that I have but scratched the surface of events. The party's shared dream of the dwarves enslaved by the abomination, Ashnakzeroth, is a most important...

After taking some time to recover from the disappointing trip and pursue individual activities, the group next assembled together the evening of Nightal 20, shortly before Jokull's match in the arena with Gagh. Before Jokull left, Brok-Tul mentioned that he planned on visiting Thessar's house to...

The following morning, Nightal 16, dawned clear and cool. Rahnee gathered up her crew (everyone except for Aerikoth), picked up Captain Corvus at the Old Beard, and headed along the coastline to the old lighthouse and (hopefully) their salvaged ship. She set a very easy pace, complaining about...

A discussion followed regarding the next steps that should be taken by the group, given the array of choices before them. Rahnee brought up the possibility of further investigation of the undead threat near Amee Pass, in order to assist Veran's mission. Aerikoth pointed out that it would be at...

Aerikoth returned to the guest house to find Rahnee, Jokull, and Veran there with Tabor, the boy used by the mage Gondeth as a messenger. Tabor had brought Gondeth's notes on the Thayan presence in Westgate, cheerily handing them over to Aerikoth, who gave him a gold coin for his trouble. Once...

Rewards and Disappointments After six hours of travel, they arrived at Westgate, somewhat chilled from the cold day. First stop once inside the city walls was the Mercenaries Guild, where they reported their successful completion of the pirates contract to the clerk, whose name they discovered...

After taking what things of value were on the pirates' corpses, the group carefully explored the remainder of the cave. On the opposite side of the tunnel complex, large webs were found blocking their way, but were quickly shredded. Upon entering the chamber beyond, the group was rushed by two...

By the evening of Nightal 13, a recovering Brok-Tul had trekked to rejoin the others by the abandoned Dragon Coast watchtower. Two cougars had been spotted earlier on the tower bluff, so the party proceeded with caution, Rahnee and Brok-Tul doing a quick reconnaissance of the tower's exterior...

Back at the guest house, following dinner the group reunited with Aerikoth, and Rahnee explained the new assignment from the Mercenaries Guild. All save for Brok-Tul then went to sleep, planning to leave for the abandoned Dragon Coast watchtower in the morning. The half-orc stayed behind at the...

Pirates and a Funeral Once they entered the Tower, the clerk inside informed them that another bidder for the Hidden House property had appeared, promising to pay 2,000 gold and leaving 100 gold as a good-faith deposit. The clerk explained that the property was not yet sold, however, so he...

As the sun set over Westgate, the party returned to the Gatereach guest house to inform Rahnee of their discoveries. After the tale was told, all decided to rest for the remainder of the night. Once asleep, however, each was transported in their dreams to what appeared to be the underground...

Ancient Dreams Very early in the morning of Nightal 11, Aerikoth re-entered the guest house with a bottle of wine and tray of food, making enough noise to wake Brok-Tul, Veran, and Jokull. Aerikoth made a half-apology, stating that balancing everything he was carrying while closing doors...

A Night at the Arena The evening of Nightal 10, the group gathered in the Gatereach guest house common room to see a confident Jokull off to that night's match at the Quivering Thumb. After making the trek through the cold and rain to the arena themselves, they found the crowd there sparser...

The morning of Nightal 10, Jokull traveled to Morningstar Haven in order to locate a paladin of Tyr who had recently arrived in town. Jokull explained to Rahnee that he had met with Garis while the others were in Turnton. Garis had given him word of the paladin's presence and his mission, which...

A Departure and a Discovery After a dream-filled night, Rahnee departed the guest house early on Nightal 8, leaving a note that she was off to inspect the Hidden House in order to see what repairs would be needed. Aerikoth also left in the early morning, while Brok-Tul and Veran departed later...

After a satisfying meal at the Gatereach, the companions were still deep in debate regarding their plans when they heard a rapping at the door. Rahnee answered it and let in Jamal, who thanked her for being able to come in out of the rain, brushing some from her hair. After making her greetings...

Of Elections and Red Wizards Rahnee, Aerikoth and Jokull breakfasted together the morning of Nightal 7, receiving a message during the meal that their fee from House Urdo was ready at the Mercenaries Guild. On the way to the Guild house, Jokull took a short detour and Rahnee overheard commoners...

As the group talked about the encounter with Gonzo and speculated on many things related to dragons, the weather cleared and the ship no longer rolled to the sound of thunder. Captain Kelteel came down and let them know that the ship would be in port within the hour. This was welcome news for...

Returning to the hold, Brok-Tul expressed his delight at the prospect of Gonzo accompanying them back to Westgate, while the others were less optimistic about the situation. Rahnee suggested that Aerikoth try and talk to the dragon once it overtook them, a course of action which Aerikoth...

Brok-Tul and Veran returned to the ship, partly to get Brok-Tul out of the now-grumpy dragon's way, while the others made another sweep of the island and debated their next course of action. The group reunited shortly after midday and indicated to Captin Kelteel that they were ready to depart...
