we get to a cave like thing where the spider dragged something.

Drobin gets on my back. i tell him NO acid. 

ivy hears whimpering.

Dragonshana tries to get the child from hanging upside 

the child is screaming. 

I am able to cradle him and bring hhim down to the ground. He is terrified.  This is our first time dealing with a child.

Ivy tries to console him.  not good.

smig tries again. we surrender to the kid.

dorbin makes a terrible joke but thankfully smig convinces him

he lets the kid punch him 

the kid asks where his parents are and smig forces ivy to say it.

the kid already knows.

the dog was very scary. and then i tried to run and this spider thing attacked me and i could hear them screaming.

just wants to go home. we are heading that way.

Midrin is the childs name. 

Smig makes a bribe for the child.

i offer my back to the child. 

he says okay as long as smig goes to.

dorbin goes back to his golem.

smig doesn't understand that the child is calling him cowman. 

smig thinks it's an invisible friend. 

they all go on my back

we talk about whether or not I should fly ahead with the kid and we decide not to spilt the party.

6-7 more hours left of wild shape. 

we head out at a decent pace

a couple hours pass.

Smig and midrin almost fall off a couple of times but I balance them.

no more special language. 

Dorbin randomly casts catnap on himself in the middle of the road. the golemn scoupes him up.

bemused and friustrated. 


Ivy hears a weird whoosh sound. points it out and khashana hears this too.

Smig goes off about random gods.

we heard the sound.

maja says there are all maners of flying creatures.


smig holds everyone really tight and I blast off above the treeline to see if I see anything that would be the whoosing sound.

I startle EVERYTHING.

birds shoot out and fly away. a range of bird sizes.

nothing sus.

I land and tell her.

we don't see anything.

I give dragon history lesseons in draconic. jeth can only understand  and just nods.

 it's getting dark. 

5 hours through dragon.

can't find the perfect spot to settle. find something. 

more feathers. same feather as eariler. this redish brown bird is following us.

I have no idea what this bird is.

could be an owlbear. which is great cuz I'm about to be hungry. 

i help set up camp.

smig asks midrin if he recognizes the feathers. 

smells it. flying bite sucky thing.O.o

maja, do you know what that is? sturges are not normally this color and they are not here around the area here.

Ivy points out the fact that hell hounds are about. who knows?

enjoying night through my dragon eyes. sky is crisp. the clouds pass through the moon. dark shapes cross my vision. 

halfway through my shift, back to elf form. strange, fragile, odd.

starving and exhausted. 

LVL 3 exhaustion.


My first fight in dragon form! I think I really surprised the group. We faced ice spiders and strange whoosing sounds. Hope you are well.


I got a response!! good to flex those wings. glad you are well. Mom says hi -Vas.

Khas prods jeth and dorbin exhausted, using her staff for full support. she grumbles and passes out on the ground just flat not even making it into a tree. 

Khashana will go to sleep really happy. 


smig tries to make friends with his weasel.

dorbin tries to make his homunculus but realizes that he keeps losing it and doesn't have the money.

Smig hears the howling noise. 

REMEBER YOUR EXHAUSTION LEVELS DAMNIT


Smig lets Ivy know about the howls 

sword practice.

Ivy moves a bit off the side to practice sword form. she hears the howling that smig mentioned.

above, she hears the whoosh again and a few feather fall off. she grabs one.  same.

ivy looks up, clear sky, some clouds.

ivy reads her book by the fire. hears crshing not too far away. squealing welp. then silence.

Ivy kicks Jeth awake. something happened. further deep.

jeth casts a special sight and divine sense. notices some odd movements on the etheral plane but not here. 

Jeth goes out 100 feet to look out.

ivy watching the group and jeth at the same time.

Jeth can just faintly make out in the snow, patches of snow and moonlight hitting it. 

sees some kind of darker mass in a snowbank.

stares at it for a minute. 

it is writing a tiny bit. rippling. this is on the material plane.

jeth readies a cast of misty step. if it lashes out.

cautiously apraoch.

Jeth calls out to ivy while keeping eye contact. Ivy runs over. 

it stops whirthing for a moment. the moonlight glint off of 12ish tiny beedy surfaces. 

a flash and this massive redish feathers advance at jeth. misty step 30 feet back. 

jeth is running. ivy is running. the creature is running.

Gerard zips off. Jeth stands to help ivy. many zip by jeth but 2 attempt to hit him.

4 points and it latches.

gerard scratches smig awake. dorbin and khashana too. knocks over a frying pan.

we have no idea what is going on but we hear a whoosing and weird noise.

this mass comes at us.

Khashana is too tired to react.

smig casts sleep as dorbin jumps up and gets ready.

the feathery mass just drops. 

Ivy channels her connection to her god and disintegrates the creature on her.

EXHAUSTION HAPPENS AFTER THE FORM ENDS.

Jeth was nice enough to give me a ride back to Neverwinter. Ilya was not there but Vas was. Introductions between Jeth, Dorbin and Vas went well. I was a little worried about dorbin's chaotic nature but Vas found him very entertaining.

Vas didn't remember too much about the black dragon.

petty creatures are black dragons.

not interested in people. tangible goods ar ethe only interest.

will ask ilya when she gets back.

may have eaten his brother while in the nest.

but spoke about Ephelomon's horn. and its power. and how it should stay with the dragons. I did not tell my friends all about the horn but smig does seem not to want to give it to orl brega and that's a good start.


I had a lovely stroll with Vas and I'm really starting to feel better about my place by the dragons.

Vas explained a few interesting things about their 'business'.



tell smig about horn. (it should be for the dragons. were you planning on giving it to them? Smig didn't really wanna give it to them. so has to think about the patron. When you do have an answeer from them, would you let me know? He agrees. tempted to drink out of it. It's magical khas says. maybe not the smartest use for it)


Shale Flintman the golem.


Vas and Kas a stroll?

how was the meeting with Lord Neverember

khashana asks about the meeting with neverember.

Lady iilya is a council member.

He is very thrilled with himself.

They have found a way to remain in neverwinter in perputity and with not many people knowing their true intentions.

textile business. a big lie! they are telling a big lie to the people about that. it's 'booming". Vas is honest that it's fake to me. interesting.

Khashana does not question that. she idolizes them so it must be right.

has a lovely flight and returns home to sleep.



Silver dragons are watching. HOw should khashana feel about other dragons. Green are the most nature-y.


asks about the blonde woman.

he laughs. quite a serious woman. sorry you didn't met. Lady Valamaradace

forced her own way into the group. as a member of the sentienal of the north wind. in particular keeping an eye on the two dragons in the castle. (in her own interest. out of concern for the greater sword coast region and for the council. not fully selfless) With Jeth's book knowledge, he recognizes the name of the order. in service to the demi deity bahamut who is Largely in service to the god Torm.

An order sworn to serve the massive silver dragon Bahamut.

Checks and balances. Neverwinter has no interest in the green wryms serving on the greater council. but they need help. SO if there is a green dragon on the council, there will be a silver one too.

The politics of dragons are labryinthine to say the least and downright destructive to say the worst.

What was Lady calugillyamatar introduction into the council.

The silver lady. Lady Ilya and Lord Vas. says neverwinter.

Green dragons are so opportunistic. moment of weakness. to be fair, I suspect they are up to something.

cunning green dragons.

many night with either one of them will fly off and destroy hordes of undead. Without them, the situation would be worse.

They have so far only asked for a seat on the council but neverwinter fears for what they may ask for one day.



the drake horn has been lost for ages.

impossible to find it.

it would be an honor for the dragons to hold it.

Ephelomon's horn.

I've been trying to learn more about dragons.

I do recall that the drake horn was made from the dragon's horn.

red dragon consort of tiamat.

most powerful dragon of tiamat.

there was a war between dragon kind and giants and was gifted from tiamat to the dragons.

in a 2000 mil radius?


I DO NOT SHARE THIS WITH THE GROUP. I should eventually to convince the group that this is not something that orl brega should have.

IT IS A POWERFUL DRAGON ITEM THAT SHOULD STAY WITH THE DRAGONS.

if you do come across it, it should be returned to it's people.

Khashana feels strongly about that. uh oh SMig.

orl Brega wants it. Doesn't feel like something they should have.

dragons do gather followers.

cults are so boring says vas.

Vas does not remember this dragon fully

petty creatures are black dragons.

not interested in people. tangible goods ar ethe only interest.

will ask ilya when she gets back.

may have eaten his brother while in the nest.
