She didn't sleep for a year game time. Then she started getting dreams that a half-dragon kobold sorcerer had the staff and was raising an army. So off we went to defeat him. We kick him in the junk and take his wallet, er... staff.  The staff is an artifact. It imprisons the ancient dragon god, and he can control anyone that wields the staff, unless that person is our bard. She, by virtue of her bloodline, is immune from its influence. So we've got an evil artifact holding an angry god. So a teleport goes bad, and we're sucked into the staff. It's the Oathbound setting. (here there appears to be some serious out of game wrangling. Some players didn't want to move the campaign from FR, and the DM wasn't as ready to run Oathbound as he thought. Not sure on the details). So we meet a mysterious person that zaps us out of the staff and back to Toril. The sending has set in motion the inevitable destruction of the staff, and the releasing of the ancient god, bent on multiverse domination.  The elves (we're all elves) created the prison, and we're fairly certain evil elder god will want us (the whole race) dead. So we're trying like mad to make the elven nation a world spanning empire of good and light and happy puppies, yadda yadda yadda.  We've reclaimed Myth Drannor, and it is now a growing multi-race city, we've connected Evermeet with Myth Nantar, and we've saved the Yuirwood (and with it Seldeyuir) from the Thayans. So we turn our attention to the Elven Court. It's seriously cursed. To remove the curse we need the head of an avatar of Lolth as a material component. So we went and got one... We enlisted Shevaresh, the elven god of revenge and killing drow. So we had god battling. Shevaresh isn't powerful enough to have an avatar, so he came personally.  This broke the "no gods fightin" rule. Bane and Lathander duked in out in the streets of Waterdeep, crushing the Spires of the Morning in the process (see next post for bonus details). Then Lolth's avatars showed up on Evermeet and started kicking the tar out of us. And Ao stepped in. He stripped Lolth of enough powers that we ended up beating the vastly weakened avatars (tho I ended up at 7 hp and 1 STR. Ow.) and forbade any direct avatar battling. We don't know where that's going, and which gods are willing to break the rules again. So now we're off the the Elven Court, to clear the place of ghosts and poisons and once again raise up the banner of the elves.  I have no idea what we're doing next. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> PS</blockquote>
