How did they work?To cheer the children, I transformed into a beautiful Pegasus and took them over the Nexus wall.  We were on a mountainside inside the ruins of a Netherese fortress.  Despite the danger, we rested and slept.  We were awakened by the return of our lost druid who’d found his way back!  Reinvigorated, Artemus reincarnated our two lost companions!   Van Dyksun was now a mighty bear! And Kaemris was a bald-headed human with golden eyes.  But more danger lurked as a mythical Griffon had decided to make her nest in the Nexus.  Luckily, she was no match for my charms and good looks, and she soon became our trusted friend.  Prestidigitation of small fireworks.So, with our defeats behind us, we begin our plans to take the brave children home!  With Tymora’s help, we’ll defeat the evil Zhentarim and reunite the mothers and children.  We shall be victorious!  For our band is mighty!  Yes, for we are… [Editor’s note: insert band’s name when we finally come up with one]. Faraugar: Seizing the PrizeFaraugar sat down on a crate of supplies and stared hard at the closed portal.  The pentagonal shape of it, with Netherese runes running around its dull metal angles.  His eyes widened.  He stood up and looked closer.The portal wasn’t built into the wall, as he first believed.  It was resting on end in the corner.  He approximated its weight at close to 2500 lb., much too heavy to lift or teleport.“You three,” Faraugar snapped, “Don’t get too comfortable.  You’ll soon be hard at work.”One of the ogres swallowed hard.Later, Lord Gargdol stomped back into the cave.  “Ghiv has failed.  She is in their custody.  The berserker and the Irritating Minstrel are killed.”“Well then,” Faraugar said, “I’ll just have to do it myself, won’t I?”</blockquote>
