[IC1] Pool of Radiance

"Yes, let's hurry. I am sure Jade would like to see her brother." Selvaggio says as from his knees as he is scratching Intrepido behind the ear. Standing, he starts to head towards the Shrine of Sune.

Kordunn continues his pace, pleased with their success so far. Rescued the maiden's brother, another prisoner, and caused damage and disruption to a temple to the Tyrant. So far so good.
 


With only minor delays, as they avoid various groups of the brutal humanoids that are inhabiting this area of ancient Phlan, the party heads back towards the old fountain in order to continue into New Phlan.

On the way, when they are finally in a less threatening region, the woman they saved together with Amber speaks up and asks the adventurers to help her get back to her love, Indel. He lives in the monster-controlled parts of the old city, somewhere near the old textile house.

After some consideration, Selvaggio, Kylest and Thunder agree to escort her there, while the main party continues towards New Phlan to bring Amber to safety, as they have promised.

About an hour later, Aylor, Eldwyn, Elmus, Kordunn and Amber reach the main gate seperating civilized Phlan from the more dangerous parts they just traveresed, hoping that their friends will find their way back without further incidents as well.

The guards welcome the adventurers back in town and, of course, let them enter.
 

Eldwyn

Eldwyn is visible moved on passing through the gates. It seemed like their time in the enemy's territory went on for months. "We should find Jade as soon as posible. I expect she'd like to see her brother."
 

Kordunn Paladin dwarf

"Indeed, let us hie directly then to the shrine of the Firehair where she resides. Your sister travelled far in hopes of seeing you rescued." Kordunn shudders in not fear but distaste "Even across the open sea with us on a rickety boat to reach New Phlan. That is true family devotion."
 

“My dear sister. Always concerned about me,” Amber says with a hint of humor in his voice. He is visibly growing more cheerful, despite his still meager physical condition, getting back to Civilized Phlan. “Not entirely unwarranted. I'm so glad you came to get me out of that wretched hole.”
 

Kordunn leads the way to the Firehair shrine, if Jade is not there and there is nobody to ask after her then he will try the large temple where the party did their scrying and ask the clergy there.
 

Family Reunion

When the small band of adventurers finally reaches the Shrine of the Lady Firehair, their thoughts wander to the others still outside of the gates in the ancient quarters of Phlan; but they should be fine, they must be. Even though it seems to have been almost too easy, when they reflect on the infiltration of the castle courtyard now, they are well aware of the forces in the vincinity of the castle, and the dangers they have posed, and still do. At some point, they will have to do something about it, but not today. There are other, more cheerful things at hand.

“Amber!”

Jade immediately rushes towards her brother, hugging him deeply. Amber staggers a few steps before he manages to regain his balance.

The other human, who was chatting with the Sunite when the adventurers entered is taken by surprise of the sudden interruption of their conversation, but a subtle smile can be seen on his face now.

He is of average height with a rather small frame and dressed like a hunter. His tanned skin, the long brown hair and his bow further underline this appearance. With piercing blue eyes, he watches the scene from the small shrine.

Four adventurers have brought back the missing brother. Two dwarves, who could hardly be any more different, one with white hair and beard, a proud and noble demeanour, who is bearing a polearm and is dressed in fine, sturdy cloth, wearing no armor, apparantly, while the other, a woman of small height even for a dwarf and a rather light build, has black hair and light clothing, that do not hinder her quick moves much; except for her crossbow, she appears unarmed. Mounted on a large dog is a halfling in earthen-toned clothes and only lightly armored in addition to the small shield; he is armed with a flail and a sling. The fourth is another halfling, who stays in the back, wearing simple pilgrim robes and a partial mask on his face; his skin color has a greenish hue to it and makes him appear a bit sickly. Under his robes, the heft of a short sword can be seen.

Jade is so happy to have her brother back alive, she totally disregards their presence for now.

Eldwyn can't help smiling at the joyful reunion. There weren't too many moments like this in his career as a singer for the dead. He looks to his companions to gauge their own reactions. "We'll my friends I think we've earned ourselves a pint or two on this latest outing."
