She reminds them that, while they were away in the orient, she was boarding and caring for all four pegasi. As a direct result of the emotional mood swings brought on by Vallessa’s pregnancy, the three-year-old pegasi mare linked to her also experienced these emotions, which triggered her into the mating cycle. She says that a mating flight occurred between the mare and Timothy’s pegasi. Vallessa adds that “It was rather intense. It is a good thing that Timothy was away in the orient, and out of range of the emotional link, as the experience would probably have killed him.” </p><p></p><p>“So, we there will be a new baby pegasus next summer,” Fiona states. “More than one,” Vallessa answers, gesturing to Aradyn and Fiona and continuing “As my mare is the daughter of your two and mentally linked to them as well.

Kris suggests that the new foals be swapped with unrelated ones from the Cloudriders, to add more diversity to the bloodlines]. </p><p></p><p>December 30, 1018 [last day of the year: all months in the Phlooredah calendar have 30 days]: </p><p></p><p>The group of Aradyn, Blip, Cassie, Guice, Lannon, Mojo, Narg, Serita and Vallessa teleport to the city of Karjjil Valley, the capital of the Thenossia Lordholding, for the coronation of Queen Jennifer as the continent’s ruler. Before leaving Narg and Vallessa have a difference of opinion about her joining them, Narg being concerned about her traveling “in her condition.” Vallessa assures him that “I feel fine, and as a former Queen of Phlooredah my absence from the coronation would be seen as an insult.” “But are you sure you will be safe?” Narg asks. “Don’t be a schmuck,” Serita comments. Vallessa tells Serita “He may be a schmuck, but he’s mine schmuck”, then whispers to her “I think this protective thing is cute, not that I’ll actually follow one word of it.” </p><p></p><p>Kindor arranges for the majority of his navy to take up position around Silver Moon Island during this time, to prevent a possible reoccurrence of the attack on the island while the “big guns” are away. </p><p></p><p>The nine teleport away, and then settle into rooms at Grimway’s Inn, the place of lodging where they stayed during their last visit to this city, back in the summer of 1012. The party are joined for lunch at the Inn by Vallessa’s daughter Dani, and the other youngsters from Da’Bears. Vallessa explains how she had invited her daughter to attend the coronation, and that they traveled to Karjjil Valley from Eldamar City with the Dragonstalkers. </p><p></p><p>The party recognize the other two teenage girls with her, Bitsey and Alyssa, but are unfamiliar with the pair of twelve-year-old boys who are acting as the girls servants. The boys are introduced as Calvin (who mutters about wanting to be a magic-user) and Hun-Shang (an oriental boy who exhibits poor public etiquette, scratching himself inappropriately, and sniffing at whoever gets near him). Both Cassie and Serita both recognize the name Hun-Shang from Mordenkainen’s Journal, reminding them of this one remaining “loose end” from that adventure, as this boy had been Mordenkainen’s Hengeyokai spy who had infiltrated the party as a stray dog that the tavernkeeper Henry adopted. When Henry sent his daughter Alyssa off to join the Da’Bears in August she brought her dog with her. </p><p></p><p>Since the girls clearly know that this boy is more than just a boy is, Cassie and Serita choose to talk to them privately about this. They let the girls know that they are aware that this boy is also the dog “Scruffy”, and tell the girls about him having been placed with the party as a spy. The girls explain how they only discovered the dog’s Hengeyokai nature a few months ago, and how Hun-Shang has no memories of the prior four years, with his first recollections being on the ship with Da’Bears in August (this is consistent with the Hengeyokai at the Castle that Mordenkainen had controlled). The girls indicate that they have been teaching the boy about the world, and that the grown-ups at Patrick’s Sculpture Shop are unaware of his Hengeyokai nature, knowing him just as the dog Scruffy. The girls plead with the spellcasters to let them keep this a secret, saying that Hun-Shang is a nice boy, and that Calvin enjoys having a same-age roommate. Cassie and Serita reluctantly agree to this, but say that they will keep a very close eye on the situation. </p><p></p><p>Following the meal Vallessa and Dani head off along for a private conversation, as the girl does not know yet about her mother’s pregnancy. Vallessa rejoins the other eight members of the Silver Moon late afternoon, as they had been invited for a private reception at Jennifer’s Palace (which the party is thankful that the Da’Bears kids have not been invited to). There are approximately one hundred guests at the reception, many of which the party recognize as nobles and aristocrats that they have met before. King Matthan is present, but none of his advisors are, with him spending most of the time with his son Prince Matthew. Throughout the evening he appears to be intentionally avoiding both the Silver Moon and Kindor. </p><p></p><p>Teakas, the female dwarf fighter/cleric from the Dragonstalkers, asks Lannon to dance. The Yon High Priest Dominic asks Blip to dance. Jennifer dances with Mojo several times, stopping to re-introduce him to her elvan swordsman bodyguard, Diego, who she says “Will soon be leaving my employ.” </p><p></p><p>Several hours into the event, Daniel Boyer, the aristocrat from the Cantage city of Pirna who is also the father of Vallessa's daughter Dani, approaches Narg. Narg hasn’t seen the man in six years, but remembers the warm reception he received when he was a guest at the man’s estate. Daniel asks to have a word with him in private. </p><p></p><p>The two head out to a balcony, and light up cigars. Daniel begins with an apology, stating “I don’t mean to intrude on your private life but my daughter Dani spoke to me this afternoon about what is going on between you and Vallessa. Dani tends to act impulsively, without always using discretion, so please feel free to tell me to butt out and mind my own business.” Narg answers “Go ahead, speak what’s on your mind.” </p><p></p><p>Daniel continues “Look, I’ve been where you are now. Thirty years ago I proposed marriage to Vallessa several times, both before and after her pregnancy with Dani, and she always turned me down. She had her reasons, wanting to bring shame her then husband, King Finny. Vallessa was the one who eventually encouraged me to marry my wife of the past quarter-century. Still, I often wonder if we made a mistake, and I’d hate to see her go and make the same mistake again, especially if it would bring her true happiness. Dani says that she has never seen her mother happier than when she is with you.” </p><p></p><p>Narg replies “Well, thank you for expressing that, but I’ve asked Vallessa, so it’s pretty much up to her from here.” Daniel answers “Well, she won’t listen to you, as her boyfriend, or Dani, as her daughter, but she might listen to me. With your permission, I can speak to her about this.” “Any help from you would be appreciated,” Narg answers. The two finish their cigars, and return inside. Later that same evening Narg sees Daniel talking to Vallessa. </p><p></p><p>January 1, 1019: </p><p></p><p>Everyone gathers at the main place for the coronation. There are over a thousand people in attendance at the event, which utilizes the entire grand tower of the Thenossia Lordholder’s Castle [DM Note: This castle is modeled after the Castle of Richmond, in Yorkshire, England]. </p><p></p><p>The nine members of the Silver Moon are seated with Kindor and the rest of the Jawlt Council. Kindor tells them that “All Lordholders haven’t attended one of these since the coronation of King Finny (Vallessa’s former husband) forty-five years ago. Thirty years ago many lorderholder’s boycotted King Kohlorahdooh’s coronation, and fifteen years ago it was held nine-months late because of Kohlorahdooh refusing to recognize Matthan as the new King. It’s too bad you missed that one, since you were the ones who brought it about, but I suspect that Toronas sent you away on a sea voyage at that time just so you would miss it. Several Lordholders boycotted that one too.”</p></blockquote><p></p>
