However, the broken modron was a different matter as it kept saying the same thing over and over again. As if one of the cogs inside had got stuck.“DOES ANYONE SPEAK MODRON?” Caleb asked.“Yes” Littleby replied, taking a quick break from reading one of the books that they'd recovered. “I recently learned a bit of modron, just a few words mind.”“WOW, WHAT A COINCIDENCE,” the earth genasi said with a straight face.“Unfortunately all that it would say is error, error, core dump, interactive debug mode initiating,” Littleby shrugged his shoulders and turned away from the earth genasi. He had a quick look at what Sir Osbourne was cooking in the pot but turned away in disgust. As he took out his ion stone and sent it spinning around his head, he was heard to comment: “I'll not eat any of that foreign muck”.After another three and a half days of travelling through the Outlands they finally reached the outskirts of Faunel. The ancient city had long been claimed back by the jungle and ruined towers could be seen poking up amongst the tree tops. Vines and weeds choked the overgrown streets of the city and moss covered many of the stones. The companions did not enter the city, but instead chose to remain outside by one of the tent encampments as the great modron march left the Outlands and entered the Beastlands.Sir Vamish Crasad was overjoyed at being reunited with his sister. He insisted that they accepted a monetary reward. The knight of the Order of Planar Militant was still suffering from the wounds that he'd received in the ambush, but was simply too stubborn to stay in the halls of the healers for too long. He thanked each of them profusely to the extent where some of the companions almost lost their patience, before leaving to join the rest of his men who had taken the injured Anakharim knights and the bariaur woman, Yissa the Sage, in to custody.His sister thanked each of them as well and gave Sir Osbourne a kiss on the cheek. The knight blushed from head to toe and turned a deeper shade of red when he saw Cade giving him a knowing smile. Greir gave Sir Osbourne a letter and then left to join her brother. As she was walking away Lady Toujin made an appearance and presented each with a gift as a reward for the great deeds that they had performed.Sir Osbourne received a new dragon-head shaped helmet. Lady Toujin informed him that it would give him a measure of protection against elemental energies. Cade Highdale received a platinum dragon scale that resonated whilst he sang, enhancing his chances of favourable interaction with celestials and good-aligned dragons.Caleb received large metal boots that were shaped to resemble dragon claws. The earth genasi was pleased to learn that by concentrating on them briefly, the claws dug in to the ground and he remained absolutely fixed to the spot. Another thought retracted the claws to permit him to move off. The mephits each received a small satchel. They were initially disappointed to find that they were empty, but soon began to cram them full of odds and ends.Serena received a small dragon statue that fit inside the palm of her hand and wrapped around her fingers. By focusing her anger through the device she was able to make it produce a small bolt of fire that incinerated the base of a nearby sapling, much to the surprise of the mephits who had been lounging in its branches.Lady Toujin came up to Zakar and placed her delicate hands on the hound archon's shoulders. He sank down on one knee in front of her as she prayed to Bahamut and his collar changed to tin. Zakar was overwhelmed by the transformation and knelt in front of her whispering his thanks over and over. She hurried along swiftly presenting Littleby with three teeth of dragon summoning and Andrew with a plain cloak that had no distinguishing features.Eventually Lady Toujin departed, heading back towards Excelsior on her flying carpet and waving at the companions as she left. As she glided off in to the sun-set the beautiful priestess of Bahamut winked at Cade and waved at the others.</blockquote>
