Until We Meet Again

 27 Kythorn 1490 DR


We entered the council meeting one last time as Lady Silverhand praised us for defeating Tiamat and essentially saving the world. We received medals of honor and were deemed hero's. I sat in the Lords Alliance section watching my friends be called up one by one. I recalled the battle a few weeks ago. The hot lava surrounding us, the chanting of the Red Wizards, the leader of the cult wearing the Red Dragon Mask, revealing himself to have been Gundren Rockseeker all along, the Dwarf we ended up saving at the beginning of all this. Once Tiamat emerged from the portal we all fought for our and the worlds lives. I remember being knocked unconscious, Cwl yelling as I fell onto the stone floor. Thankfully my friends were able to get me back up.

After defeating Tiamat, we ran out as the building began to crumble around us. We hurried up the large hill as the sun began to set, the clouds parting and the rain slowing down. The enemy was retreating from the battlefield as the Factions let out a roar of cheers, a sea of soldiers embracing each other. We had survived the impossible. We had beat fate.

Back in the council meeting, my friends were all given a dragon mask or a piece of it to look after:

Luna- White Dragon Mask

Dire- Red Dragon Mask

Winny- Blue Dragon Mask

Rain- Green Dragon Mask

Yuriel- Dragon Gem

Catscratch- Black Dragon Mask

I still have my responsibilities over my pendant so I declined the offer of a mask.


With the masks distributed, we were asked to take on one final mission. We were to separate, go our own way, as far away from each other as to not make contact again so the masks would forever be separated. We all looked at each other. We didn't want to be separated, and we knew this would be the hardest mission of all, but we agreed.

We said our goodbyes, gave small gifts to remember each other, and went our separate ways.

Here I am now, camping out in the middle of a field with Cwl and Catscratch by my side just like it was before my adventure started. Catscratch mentioned something about getting revenge for his friend Leo that was brutally killed by the Red Wizards of Thay. Guess the land of Thay is our next stop. I don't really mind though, I'll help Catscratch in anyway I can. That's what family does after all.

As for the rest of the group, I miss them dearly. It's only been a few days but I hope they are doing okay. I have a feeling we'll meet again some day. Somehow our paths will cross and we'll start a new adventure.

It's been two years since it all started, and I wouldn't change anything. I've grown and learned so much thanks to everyone. They will forever be my comrades, my friends, and my family.


---To long life,

Tawny

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. ...
