Council Meeting

 


1 Alturiak 1490 DR



We were summoned to Waterdeep by Leosin (the monk we saved) and taken to be a part of a council meeting that all the factions were going to be a part of. The leaders sat at a large, round table and we were told to sit on the steps behind our chosen factions. Dire and I sat next to each other in The Lords Alliance section trying to ignore the intense stares from others sitting behind us. Catscratch sat next to Crath across from us in the Zhentarim section while Rain, Luna, and Winny sat in their respective areas (Emerald Enclave, Order of the Gauntlet, and Harpers).

When we all settled in, the leaders introduced themselves:

Remallia Haventree- Harpers (Elf)

Ontharr Frume- Order of the Gauntlet (Dwarf)

Delaan Winterhound- Emerald Enclave (Human)

Lord Neverember- Lords Alliance (Human)

Rian Nightshade- Zhentarim (Tiefling)


They talked about our past actions and some concerns about Catscratch and Luna. Mainly Luna since she's not actually from this world and was once the "Demon Lord" in her dimension. We were then given two missions:

* Go to the Sea of Moving Ice up North to find and save Maccath the Crimson (and find info on a magical horn).

* Track down a Wearer of Purple who is known to have the White Dragon Mask (Talis is now the holder of the black mask).


After the meeting we all decided to talk to the other's in the room, trying to get on their good side. One of the men (an Elf) named King Melandrach pulled me aside for a chat. He knew I was from the Shifter tribe in the High Forest (one of his ruled forests) and asked if I knew what was going on there. I tried to play dumb but he continued talking about how the evil spirits had gotten worse and how I should go back with my pendent so the barrier could become stronger.

I tried to be patient but I just snapped. How dare he beg and plea on behalf of my tribe. I'm banned! Exiled! They don't want me and I don't want them. I'm only hanging onto the pendent out of duty. I only want to see my new friends thrive. I'm going to protect them no matter what.

The Redbrands

13 Alturiak 1489 DR Today we decided to do some shopping. Catscratch went off on his own to who knows where while Luna and I visited the Shrine of Luck. Luna gave a coin in hopes for some good luck. If she wants to waste her coin on such things, by all means. But luck isn't going to help you survive in this world. Catscratch quickly appeared before us and even brought someone I've never seen before, a tall cat with a leafy looking cloak. A Tabaxi, I believe they're called. She introduced herself as Rain and told us she had also been hired but was running late. She was asking around town for Gundren but found out about him missing. We decided to deal with the Redbrand situation once and for all after hearing how they were kidnapping people from the town. Once inside the hideout, we were separated when the floor collapsed from underneath us. Luna and I were on one side, Catscratch and Rain on the other. We reluctantly decided to split up. I was honestly a little worried a...

The Book Thief (Part 2)

22 Eleint 1489 DR We finally met up with the head librarian and he told us about some of his staff missing. He told us to check the archives since that's where the two were suppose to be on duty today. The archives were huge but we found the area. We were too late once we noticed the dead body hunched over a table with piles of books. We did notice two of the books that were stolen were now open on the table with pages ripped out about the Pool of Radiance. Suddenly, a shockwave and rumble rang through out the archives as all the book cases toppled over. A hole was blown into a wall and we went to investigate. We found a room with old, burnt, books and were attacked by shadows. Luna was downed quickly while the rest of us finished them off. With Luna back on her feet, we hurried through another hole in the wall and ended up in the sewers. Luna caused these giant centipedes to fall asleep as we snuck by. After two hours of walking we ended up in the mouth of a cave and in the middle...

Fairy Dust

30 Alturiak 1489 DR We've finally reached Red Larch. I was pretty familiar with the area since it's so close to the city of Yartar and, well, my ruins. We decided to help out some guy by killing wolves for pelts. As we entered the Krypt Garden Forest, we ran into a small pixie named Quill and his hedgehog steed Spike. This pixie wanted us to help him find a magical well that apparently heals any mounds. His wings were broken so he was hoping to get them fixed. We agreed to help in the morning as Quill lead us to the fairy trees. Small houses hung from branches. This was my first time ever seeing fairies before and never knew if they truly existed or not. I did barter for a rune stone. Pretty sure I got fire. Time to camp out. Guess I have first watch. In the morning we headed off deeper into the forest. It was darker and quieter, even with the sun high in the sky. Kinda reminded me of the forest surrounding the tribe. Theres nothing to fear in the dark, I've found out. ...
