Message: <blockquote data-quote="Plane Sailing" data-source="post: 74382" data-attributes="member: 114">This obelisk is clearly an evil artifact of some power, and after unfruitfully considering ways in which it might be destroyed the party decide that the best thing is to hide it again. Going back up via the platform, they spend the best part of a day collecting rubble and clay, to replace the plug above the cavern and seal it as best they can.Finally, tired and wounded in spirit they decide to leave the moathouse dungeons. Strangely one of the entrances into the dungeon is now collapsed. Not so strange when they reach the top of the other exit and find the blue dragon back again, healed and waiting in ambush!This time the dragon doesn't have the freedom of mobility which served it so well in the last combat - and the company is bolstered by the raging strength of Juma who charges in and deals two mighty blows with his maul, while Lysander strikes with his blessed scimitar and K'tan and M'ir pour all their energy into manifesting concussions and recall pain respectively. Surprised by the ferocity of the onslaught Utreshimon the dragon succumbs quickly and dies.Free at last from the moathouse, the party camp a short distance away to lick their wounds and plan their next step. Juma finishes gathering their stories about his sister and decides to leave them to continue his wanderings - but he will check in on them occasionally back at Mithril Manor in Knightsbridge.The party return to Knightsbridge and arrange for the funeral of Crail - quite a lot of the underclass in the town turn up, including one particularly tearful young woman named Laidley. During the preparations, Alkanar introduces Lysander to an unusual young man.His name is Trajan, and he comes from one of the small dukedoms nestled in the foothills of the barrier range to the North. He grew up in a village, but spent less time looking after the cows and more time with an elderly hermit living further up the mountains, who regaled him with tales of fighting and the service of Asura. After several years training with the old man and starting on the path of the Jazumai, the hermit sent him down to Knightsbridge, saying that he needed to serve a broader apprenticeship under the auspices of a temple. Alkanar agrees, and sets Trajan to work with and learn from Lysander. Trajan has an exotic oversized scimitar, in a style which the hermit taught him to craft.Although winter is coming on, and they are getting deep into the month of Ironwater, they make plans to return to the moathouse.</blockquote>
