At last, they decide that some rest is in order before embarking on the journey to the Talenta Plains, so they retire to their respective lodgings for the night. The next morning, they reassemble at the office of Tophran Damilek, ready to begin the hunt for the Crimson Dragonshard. Alundel, the dark gnome from the meeting the day before has also returned, though he still is not very talkative. True to his word, Tophran has booked them passage on an airship to Korth in Karrnath, and he distributes tickets to each adventurer. "You've got the map of the crypt's location, still?" he checks with Brodin. "Very well, then," he seems satisfied of your preparation. "Best of luck to you! I'll be anxiously awaiting your return." The trip to the Plains is utterly uneventful, but it serves to allow the new companions to get to know one another even better. Still, after a five-day trip via airship from Sharn to Korth, then another three days by lightning rail to Gatherhold, and several days of hiking northward across the Talenta Plains, even the most even-keeled of the group is itching for a little action. The party has been following Tophran's map, trekking along the bank of a clear stream. On the third day, the gentle stream empties into a placid lake ahead. A lone hill juts up from the lakeshore, with a gradual slope on the south side and a steeper slope on the west. A tiny clump of trees grows on the top of the hill, and scattered patches of brush cling to the slope. On the summit of the hill, a thin stream of smoke rises into the sky. A slight ridge runs parallel to the slope of the hill on the opposite side of the stream crowned with some shrubbery. From the map, you know you're close now. The entrance to the Crypt of Crimson Stars should be around on the northwestern face of the hill. (OOC: I'll need a general party formation, and any actions you wish to take now. Below is a link to a map of the area.) <a href="http://www.freewebs.com/nrfc49/images.htm" target="_blank">http://www.freewebs.com/nrfc49/images.htm</a></blockquote>
