They head out with flying carriages provided by a friendly council, but get attacked by a half-illithid(s) on the way and crashland. The continue their journey with a broken carriage and come across yuan-ti, who posses one of the fragments of the Psionicle. A techie who has been accompanying them turns out to be a traitor. After negotiations, the yuan-ti high priestess agrees to give the artifact to the party and there's a fight with Jirlai in which two of the characters die, but one is brought back by the high priestess (other doesn't wish to return). The party returns to the council, who have found the location of another part, deep within 'kreen territory.The party investigates the thri-kreen tunnels, runs into associates of Jirlai's who they defeat, recovers the part after a confrontation with Jirlai, and returns to the council again. A friendly goblin cleric who's been traveling with the characters tells of a library in a faraway locale that might contain another piece, and the party sets out to recover it. After opening a tricky door, the party fights against Jirlai and Ratheqar with some success, but some of them are heavily wounded, and one is MIA (player left, IIRC).And that's about where the current thread begins, I think.I might have the order of the 'kreen tunnels and the 'ti forest wrong, but I think that's about the basics of it all.</blockquote>
