Like Father, Like Son

 

11 Alturiak 1490 DR



We were given a boat to help us sail up north to the Sea of Moving Ice. The captain, Half-Face, would also be our translator for the natives living in the area. The trip was peaceful and only took about a week for us to get there. We docked on an iceberg and slowly made our way to the small native village.

The villagers were hostile and wanted us gone. Rain was able to communicate with the tribes' Druid and asked questions about Maccath's whereabouts. No one would tell us but we did learn about a dragon living in the area. We also learned of another outsider (like ourselves) living among the tribe.

At that moment Catscratch used a spell to contact his dad. A portal opened up and we could see a Kenku holding a bow and arrow aimed at our own backs. We turned around to see the same bird perched up high on the rib cage bone  of a large creature. He jumped down and walked past us, speaking only in noises. Catscratch motioned for us to follow his dad into one of the nearby tents.

Catscratch and his dad, Glass Shatter, talked a lot as the rest of us enjoyed the food we were provided. Even though I couldn't understand the Kenku's, It seemed to be a serious and heartfelt talk. Catscratch eventually casted a spell to allow them both to be able to talk. With his new found speech, Glass Shatter told us about Maccath being kept prisoner in the dragons lair underground.

We decided we'd infiltrate the lair tomorrow at the crack of dawn.

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. ...
