A Fight Under the Ice

 

12 Alturiak 1490 DR



Glass Shatter led us underground into the freezing catacombs. We made our way, fighting kobolds, ice toads, and trolls. In one of the icy caves we came upon a large tent made from bones and pelts. We found Maccath and she told us about the magical horn being sound to bring the dragons together on behalf of Tiamat. She also told us she wouldn't feel safe leaving unless we killed the White Dragon.

We agreed and set off on our next task. The large lair was filled with freezing cold water so Luna used her ice breath to create a frozen raft. We laid down the furs, pillows and blankets we stole from the cabin and paddled through the darkness.

A fork in the road halted us but Glass Shatter climbed up the icy rock and continued on ahead. We all followed and arrived in a misty area. Suddenly, the White Dragon appeared and the battle started. I jumped down onto the frozen raft and paddled my way over to it. The magic users and Glass Shatter fought from on top of the rock as I fought from the waters below. I could see the dragon attack them with its tail, sending my comrades flying. Luna was knocked off and into the water. She didn't come back up for air so I knew she must have been knocked out and drowning.

To our horror, a second dragon appeared (it's mate). I debated whether to go save Luna or distract the second dragon but luckily Rain was able to heal everyone and bring Luna back. We almost died but were able to kill the dragons. With the task done we  returned to Maccath and hurried back to the surface. We'll definitely be sleeping well tonight.

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. ...
