The Beginning of the End

 26 Mirtul 1490 DR These last few weeks were a blur as the factions prepared for the coming war. We were given a final week to spend how we'd like before setting off to the campsite up near the area that would bring Tiamat back into our world. Most of the week was spent meditating or sparing with Cwl. I did go to Luna and Crath's wedding as well. Catscratch didn't attend as he had told us he was going back to Yartar to visit his mothers grave. After our week was up, we joined a caravan and made our way to the camp. We ran into a few familiar faces: Azam the Dragonborn who helped guide us through the Anauroch desert Lee and Cassyt from Phlan Sildar and Gundren from Phandalin Glass Shatter, Catscratch's dad. We scouted ahead and came upon the enemy. A volcanic, decimated land stood before us. Chromatic Dragons flew around a large castle as ash covered the sky. Army's of cultists and others prepared for battle. This was it. The battle was about to begin. If you are rea...

Four-Shadowing

 16 Torsakh 1490 DR During the next council meeting a Red Wizard named Nyh Ilmichh asked for our help in convincing the wizards from Thay to join our cause against Tiamat. We agreed to go and rode on the back of Elia in her Silver Dragon form. Dragons are pretty fast as we got to Thay in only two days, but of course it wasn't going to be that easy. A Red Dragon attacked us mid flight with some cultists on its back. Once we finished our battle we landed at a keep and met with the Red Wizards. Right as we entered we noticed the dead, skinned body of Leo, Catscratch's childhood friend. The Elf that practically raised him. It was hard to hide our anger but we successfully got the wizards on our side. Back in Waterdeep, Four the Tabaxi told us he found the slave traders hide out in the sewers under the city. We followed him and pretended to sell Rain and Four. They got sent to a back room and before we knew it we were ambushed. We fought back, Rain was now a bear with her claws on F...

Xonthal's Tower

 8 Tarsakh 1490 DR After another council meeting, we were sent to Xonthal's Tower to save a cultist who wanted to leave the Cult of the Dragon. He would also give us the Blue Dragon Mask and all the information he knows about the cult. We went to the tower, made our way through a confusing, magical maze, fought cultists, teleported to a weird place in space, and eventually found the cultists dead. We were able to retrieve the dragon mask but thanks to a genie friend Catscratch made, we learned the mask was a fake. Oh well, back to Waterdeep we go.

The Misty Forest

 26 Ches 1490 DR Arriving back in Waterdeep, we were greeted by a festival. Apparently today was Fey Day and the city was in celebration of the Fey Wilds' rift being weakened and as close to the material plane as possible. We ran into Four the Tabaxi and he showed us around. We bought some masks and a bottle of green, sparkly wine. He also told us a little about his tribe and how his sister was sacrificed to their god. We all wondered if telling Rain would be a good idea or not. Not long after, a wolf appeared with a letter for us. Winterhound wanted to give us some extra information that he didn't want the other faction leaders to know of just yet. The wolf guided us out of the city and to a small campsite. We talked with Winterhound and he explained how he believes the Wearer of Purple that attacked the Elven villages in the Misty Forest is the illegitimate second son of the Elf King, King Melandrach. We decided to head out immediately and in a weeks time we arrived at the Mi...

Dragon, Not Lizard

 14 Ches 1490 DR Two days passed and as we awoke we could see a large mountain in the distance. The sun was about to rise as we struggled to breath at this high elevation. We were set down on the rocky mountain and as we looked up we could see four other Metallic Dragons. They introduced themselves as: Protanther - Gold Dragon Ilevthra - Brass Dragon Nymmurh - Bronze Dragon Tazmikella - Copper Dragon Otaaryliakkarnos -Silver Dragon (Elia) Luna did most of the talking as the dragons debated why they should join us. Rain also said a few things here and there. In the end they were able to convince the dragons to join us in exchange for a few apologizes from certain members in the factions.

Silver is a Girls Best Friend

 12 Ches 1490 DR In Waterdeep, we handed over the Dwarf to some guards around the council building when all of a sudden Rain noticed someone hiding in an ally way. She morphed into a rat and snuck up on the person. The stranger was a Tabaxi who apparently knew of us, especially Rain. He wanted to talk to Rain so they headed off to the nearest port tavern. The rest of us decided to follow behind at a distance. Eventually Rain told us that the Tabaxi named Four Winds was actually a part of her tribe when she was just a kitten (she was too young to remember). Four wanted her help in freeing some Tabaxi slaves in the area so we decided to stay at an Inn nearby and rest for the day. In the morning we received a letter being summoned to another Council meeting. As we had a few hours to kill, I decided to walk along the cliff side with Cwl. The others eventually found me and I decided to tell them everything. All about my tribe, the coming of age ceremony, my choice on making a pact with ...

Venom

11 Ches 1490 DR As we arrived to Boareskyr Bridge and traveled through a tent side town, Rain stopped to ask for any information at the local tavern. When she returned she told us that Varram was seen here with a bunch of bodyguards and that he traveled north-east to the Serpent Hills. Not long after we were ambushed by some cultists who were tired of our meddling. We took them out fairly easily and continued on our way. We arrived to a large tomb and followed Varram's tracks inside. From the talking statues to the traps, it was obvious this was the tomb of some wizard. Eventually we found some dead cultist bodies leading to a door. We decided to check out a different path and came upon a group of Bearded Devils. I panicked and hid behind Luna. Just as I expected, they could sense my necklace. The devils lunged for me but Luna pushed me out of the room and into the hall. Luna and Dire barricaded the door and then we ran deeper into the tomb. We ran into a group of Lizard Folk and Y...
