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 Amber and the others. We deserve it.

After our small rest we went to visit Aya, Teldon and Amber. Kaleb, Corwina and Poppy all chatted before we set off to explore the town. We found a few quests and future activities through the quest board at the local tavern. Togar decided to do some manual labor as I searched for anyone in need of a doctor. After my success, we all met back up with Aya and went to visit Kaleb's family in the Faywild. This little family reunion didn't go so well and I can see why Kaleb is the way he is. Coming from a rich family and being wrongfully put in prison can't be easy. His family looks at him like he's scum. A disappointment. Even with my dislike for him, he's not THAT bad.

After the horrible dinner we took a dip in the hot springs before heading back to Leilon for the night.

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. ...
