Neverwinter

  20 Marpenoth, 1489 DR      Without any leads on the necromancer we decided to go to Neverwinter to petition Lord Neverember to send troops to Leilon for aid incase of a dragon attack. Thankfully Kaleb was able to convince Neverember to help by being a kissass. After, we ran into Corwinna's son, Lucen,  who was apparently working for the general of the Neverwinter army, who also happened to be Togar's dad. We hung out a bit and got drunk at some popular tavern named the Beached Leviathan. Bella also got some info from some Tebaxi and forced Togar to go with her to watch and tale the guy.      I'm pretty sure I passed out 'cause I woke up on the dirty street floor with a horrible headache. We said our goodbyes to Lucen and made our way onto the ship and out to sea. It was cold but quiet on the ship when suddenly a storm hit and Talos cultists attacked us from their ship. Luckily I was able to hit them with a few of my fire bolts before a gigantic ...

Dragon Deals

  19 Marpenoth, 1489 DR     With everything prepared, we made out way to the Kryptgarden Forest. It smelt of acidic gas as Poppy tracked down the Green Dragons lair. Entering, we stumbled upon some glowing green moss (which i took), freed some hungry Owl Bears, and had them eat the druids that captured them. We kept walking until we made it to the dragon. Togar let us know that this dragon was very old, most likely meaning it was an ancient dragon. That's not good. We may have survived the adult White Dragon but this was a whole 'nother level.      Apparently some guy working for Myrkul had been sending undead to attack her. She was going to destroy Leilon to get some answers but we convinced her that we'd kill the Myrkul guy if she left Leilon alone. She agreed, which is great 'cause this could be the guy I'm looking for.

Bronze Dragon Shrine

  17 Marpenoth, 1489 DR     Poppy woke us up because she had some dream. I guess she was told to head to the Inn for a quest, so we did. We made our way to this Bronze Dragon Shrine and saved the dragon from a demon. We saw a premonition of a Green Dragon attacking Leilon and our friends dying. We warned Teldon and Amber before getting preparations ready to head out to find the Green Dragon. 

The Wedding

  16 Marpenoth, 1498 DR      Just got ready for the wedding with everyone. We all look pretty good but I won't lie, Poppy looks very beautiful as well. I'm thinking about expressing my feelings to her today as well. I want her to know that I want her by my side for as long as she'll have me.

Clarity

  15 Marpenoth, 1489 DR      I've finally thought everything over. Just because Varis and a few others killed my mother, that changes nothing. I'm still going to create the cure and still going to try to help Lethander in order to gain knowledge of ingredients I'm missing. Once that's settled I plan to go back to Evermeet to learn who else was involved in my mother's death. From there, I don't know. I'll cross that bridge when I get there. For now, I'm just going to help the others. I've apologized Kaleb and Bella for my actions, thanked everyone, and I honestly feel just a bit better.      Apparently Togar got the deed to a house in Leilon after some quests. We're heading off to see it now.

The Plan

  12 Marpenoth, 1489 DR      Bella gathered us all together with some circus people at the tavern. We made our plan for dealing with Gary, the circus ringmaster, but to be honest I remembered something mid conversation. I believe I've met this guy before. I'm pretty sure he was a council member of the Academy. The issue is my guy's name is Varis Grayor, a High Elf (not a Wood Elf) and he used magic. The ring master stated that no one used magic in his circus. Either way, we're going to confront him. Let's see what information we can squeeze out of him.

Thunder Cliffs

  11 Marpenoth, 1489 DR      Corwinna, Kaleb and Allister stormed into my house this morning. Apparently she had received a letter from one of her other sons about a different son, named Crowley, being a part of the cult of Talos. Using the map we got from Aya's back we were able to pin point a cult base in the area. We took Corwinna's ship to a location called the Thunder Cliffs and made our way inside. We ran into some hags before learning Crowley had already left on some ship called the Dreadnaught. We eventually made out way back to Leilon, did some last minute clothes shopping for the wedding, and left to rest for the night. 

Circus Games

  10 Marpenoth, 1489 DR Woke up to crowds of people freaking out over a large storm out in the distance. We figured it was Talos' doing so we went to investigate. Sure enough we learned the Wayside Inn had a cult infiltration and we barely survived. All I could do was heal but thankfully that was enough. We located the Talos cults hideout and debated on infiltrating it but figured we'd go after Aya and Teldon's group outing at the circus.  Arriving back in Leilon, we met up with the couple and played a few carnival games. It was nice to get to relax after the horrible time at that inn. Once the circus was about to start we hurried  inside, ran into Corwina's son, Allister, and took our seats. I had never seen a circus performance before so it was quite amusing. After the show, we went back stage and met some of the crew. Aya and Teldon had a blast trying to learn how to juggle but Bella seemed obviously uncomfortable, especially when the ring master arrived. That guy se...

Lathander's Mission

  9 Marpenoth, 1489 DR Went separate ways this morning as I headed into the Lathander Shrine. After seeing Bella bring Corwina back from the dead I felt useless, like everything I've worked for up till now was a waste. I hoped to have Lathander reveal even a small hint of what I should add for the cure and wasn't pleased with what I learned. Lathander would reveal one ingredient if I killed a cult leader of his rival Myrkal. Apparently Talos and Myrkal are at war because they both want to rule the coastal towns under Lathanders rule. I also learned that my mothers death wasn't a freak accident. She was murdered. By who, I don't know. but I still haven't completely processed it. Who would want my mother dead? Is that why the school didn't save her? Not because they couldn't, but because they wouldn't? Anyway, going to look for some missing soldiers near the Mere of Dead Men. At least it'll distract me from thinking about everything. ---------------- I...

Found Fathers

  8 Marpenoth, 1489 DR Breakfast was interrupted by loud caravans entering the town. Poppy reminded us that the farmers market was today and we all decided to check it out. It was my first farmers market so Poppy decided to show me the ropes. We visited lots of stalls and I bought a bobble head and a flower from the Feywilds. The rest of the group bought some grab bags and of course Bella ended up with an item that almost destroyed the town. She blew into a purple worm whistle and summoned a purple worm. Poppy got eaten as we fought to save her. After we defeated the worm, Poppy was scarred for life as we finished up our shopping. We headed to the large tower in the middle of town to help out with one of the quests we found on the board in the tavern. Apparently guards had spotted a ghost in the tower and a man named Gallio wants it gone. We searched through the tower and books were flung at us, whispers in our ear, our reflections aging as we walked over dirty puddles. Let's just ...

Family Ties

  7 Marpenoth, 1489 DR Finally reached Leilon at the crack of dawn only to find a group of people huddled outside the towns' walls. We overheard talk of a cult attack and two children missing. Apparently the Dwarf we met back in Phandalin, Amber (Poppy's adventuring companion), had already headed into town to look for the kids. Poppy hurried in after her but not before we were attacked by cultists of Talos. We defeated them and hurried inside, finding Amber and the two kids. Poppy sent the kids out of the town on horseback while Amber went to go look for Aya (Kaleb's cousin) and Teldon (other adventuring companion of Poppy's). The rest of us went to fight the cultists down by the docks. We were able to kill the Tiefling lady but not before she summoned some water creatures to devour citizens chained to rocks. They were tough as they almost drowned most of us to death and killed one of the townsfolk, but we finally defeated them. Gonna take a rest before meeting up with ...
