and diamond dust.

and presents for my dragons.

Sunlight at the statue?

how does Khashana feel about this city?

meh, Illya and Vas didn't seem to care for the thayanns. Super don't love the whole red wizard vibe. Not super trusting of this space. Really don't want to have to start any issues that could come back at Illya and Va.

BUt fascinted to be closer into the High forest region. Twisted Branches

what is her current mindset?

looking forward to shopping. has some specific goals for it. EXHAUSTED but full. a little nervous potientially being away from llya and vas for so long. determined

Dorbin and Ivy going to mayor yeagor.

SMig is being babysat by safira

Jeth and Khashana shopping

brother mertens will stay at the inn researching until he meets up at the statue at noon.

smig remembers the flamethrower. dorbin will continue to attempt.

khashana takes an owlbear steak and stuffs it into a pouch

Jeth gets directions to the grumpy palat's powders.

Khashana and Jeth make it. It's closed but there is a bell to ring Jeth tries. however the cord has been cut. Khashana gusts the bell.

midly grumpy older man. sighs.

the older i get, the later I wanna start my days.

jars and powders everywhere.

need diamond dust

and dragon statue.

Breonna's. weird stuff.

really weird stuff. stardust emporium.

diamonds are popular during the war.

old zegrass' foundry  for jeth creation.

Khashana puts down a deposit of 150 gold for a possible incoming shipment of diamond dust. should know more before noon when Jeth goes back to pick up his item.

Smig buys catnip for safira. once she has some, she won't be trusted for babysitting. bribes!

Ivy and dorbin walk at the same speed. it's nice! big horses. find the offices. CLOSED. attendant out front and a line of people. might need an appoitnemtn. Ivy tries to gets herself inside past the line with her 'formal invitation'. the attendent uses a hummingbird to fly a message to yeagor.

wipe your feet on the mat and head in. this is very unusual. 3 flights up, first door on the left.

polished wood and fine stone countertops.

series of desks on the right, staffed by people. three sides of the council..

fine red robe. thayann

fine black leathers. the people

common. nice wool clothes.

big hearth with fire and plush chairs.

gets to a very fine wooden polished door with an open door as if expecting. ivy knocks and pops her head inside.

Yeagor standing at the window, welcomes them in.

Yeagor knows Dorbin's name. He does his research on people. pink hair helps stand out.

yeagor offers drinks.

hummingbird zips by, whipsers a bit to it and it zips out again.

hummingbirds are a cool trick "so is raising the dead" (he DOES do his research)

Ivy claims she is on the good side of raising the dead.

Yeagor doesn't really favor either side of the coin. Ivy doesn't mind.

Ivy has questions and offers to help him with things.

dwarf with a concussion.

hummingbird zips back in and basically becomes inamitate. sleep. OSWALD, wake up!

a person dressed in red robes comes in with a tray of drinks.

as yeagor leans forward, his robes drop a bit and they see various fine rings, tattoos everywhere.

Ivy says that her and her friends are interested in:

-how much the war has affected them all here and anything we can do?

(interested in assistance)

Karse has been mostly untouched. expect the export of magical components. things are tricky, higher demand. many expeditions have not come back from the twisted branches.

others have been encoarching on our expediations. the people do help protect and support the expediations.

he was born in thay. dorbin says something potientially offensive

the weather is particularlly chilly this days.

He is not opposed to our cause. wants to know what we want and if a bargain can be made.

Ivy thinks that

our sutatuon lay with karsus and his interest in scroll to take power from gods. as we are fighting a god. We have books but an insider's perspective is good.

yeagor doesn't know a lot about that. knows the history of karse specifically.

the twisted branches were affected when the weave was dispelled and recreated after karsus' folley.

there is a bit of a story that may be interesting that we are missing but doesn' fully know the connection/ during the war of bones, the boday of merkul was brought into the high forest to Glaurachyndaar. that city had been settled by netherys, thos who had fled and merged the elvish and netherys magic. the clerics there had figures out a way to rend the body! difficult task for god's body!

while there, the remaining forces of merkul, descending on this cirty.

DeathKnight Silence.

prince kinreal, took the remants of the body of merkul through the forest back to the landing site of what is now the dales of mourning.

Glaurachyndaar was raised. The dales of mourning appears to have been a pocket universe there, unkown to time. rumores that Silence is still out there somewhere, waiting.

some inhabitants might be still in the ruins of Glaurachyndaar

need diamond dust

and dragon statue.

sending stones.

Breonna's. weird stuff. general goods.

really weird stuff. stardust emporium.

diamonds are popular during the war.

old zegrass' foundry for jeth creation.

Khashana puts down a deposit of 150 gold for a possible incoming shipment of diamond dust. should know more before noon when Jeth goes back to pick up his item.

Smig buys catnip for safira. once she has some, she won't be trusted for babysitting. bribes!

as we exit the store, Jeth notices a hooded figure leaning against a building with a pipe. following us a bit.

Jeth send gerard to watch the figure.

Breonna's warm inside. short halfing woman.

no sending stones, probably at the stardust emporuim. closed often oddly.

black dragon statue. from the twisting branches.

Not sure how she got it. really specical.

vorganmanthar. depiction of him. rumored to live in the twisted branches. odd village in his area worship him. OOOOO wurm of the twisted branches. if i'm

adventurers guild might have a quest to search for him.

asks for fancy presents

shiny pearl. 100g Kashana buys it.

buys the balck dragon statue and green paint.

if you do want to check out the stardust emporium, go around back and knock loudly.

random gnome just showed up! established. not always there. hiured hands. the shopowner goes to twisted branches.

ziggy

huge black dragon that appeared centuries ago. it could magically appear out of nowhere. teleportation? lots of people make money by going to find magical items.

the guild has hired hands, leading expeditions.

portion of the profit goes to the guild which some goes to the town.

ask ilya and vas about the black dragon as we are heading into it's territory.

ask ivy about painting over another god's symbol. offensive? rude? to 'your' god?

Ivy is excited about learning new things that she did not know about the war of bones. She thanks yeagor for trusting her and telling her. Yeagor says it's common knowlegde here and is trding for a favor

there is a small village not too far into the twisting branches. we use it as a waypoint for expediations. leaf's end is how the townsfolk refer to it. some of the people who live there, their children have been dissappearing. if you could locate the cause of this and bring the children back, whatever yeagor could do to assit in the furture, he will.

adventurere's guild. hands ivy a card witha wax sdeal. they will set u up with this.

Don't die.

Ivy agrees. yeagor says it's interesting the history with prince killrun and silence the death knight. the statue in the square. (what brought us here). we believe with good reason that it is a sapphire sentinel in service to prince killrun. all the sentinels were said to perish in the war but this one was found ages ago in the forest. it has sat there for QUITE a long time.

Were you actually seeking out the dales of mourning. honestly, it's not clear. we may have skipped a couple steps in getting here and he expedited the entire expedition. Smig and Olr brega should have a convo to smooth things over at some point

Ivy explains the book teleport. Yeagor finds that fascinating.

Yeagor's mother used to tell stories of hedra stonewarden who found the sentinal. hall in neverwinter academy.

friends in candlekeep who brought us a lot of info on hedra including the book that brought us here.

my mother and father were first generation thayans. do you know much about thay history?

ivy doesn't know much that is kind. she only knows the sterotypes and the precijuce. until she came here. very eye opening.

Yeagor really doesn't like either side of the coin of death. when the lich king taook over, he instilled this necromancy thing. his mother and father feld here. Haymon, his cousin become morbidly fascinted with death. they don't keep in contact. had been looking into nerthsies ruins. haven't heard in ages.

old owlwell has netherise ruins under.

Oswald zips off the perch and whispers in yeagor's ear. Must end this session. delayed the townspeople talks for her. wanted to know what the party was doing here. frrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

information does travel.

jeth gets a box. gerard flies back and says that the hooded figure left.

thank you says jeth. cute. dismisses.

make it to the stardust emporium, knock loudly. no response, knock again. grumbling.

gnome with wirey, crazy hair gaze out of . we are closed!!

Kashana wants my damn stones! you should open, don't you want money.

Jeth helps me convince them.

we have to persuade.

they are out of most things.

my uncle hasn't been back in a while. don't know where he is.

shelves are bare.

khashana stones

jeth asks about kashana's commanding persence now.

kashana has learned about moneyu in the world and her own worth.

500g for stones.

khashana asks for money from jeth. jeth offers a pretty knock rock.

smig says we saved gnomegarden.

Kashahan has no more money. She tries to give everything she has to get those stones.

Jeth tries to help by telling her that we will look for ziggy. last seen at leaf's end.

kashana tries to persuade. doesn't do great. Jeth saves the day.

leave pearl and knock rock and 100 pieces as collateral tro find uncle. we can have it back. please find him. ty jeth!!!

if awoken, the sapphire sentinal could find it's way back to its master.

Khashana puts down a deposit of 150 gold for a possible incoming shipment of diamond dust. should know more before noon when Jeth goes back to pick up his item. I get it! i was super overcharged! he had it in the back stock.

Ivy and Dorbin sit by the statue waiting. Ivy sees a hooded figure from the inn walking around. Dorbin wonders if they should talk to him. Ivy says let it be. Brother mertens arrives.

He has an idea!

as the rest of us are starting to meet up.

Khashana goes a little out of her way to stick to the shade but the courtyard is in direct sunlight so....

Smig is the only one who notices that she is sparkly green. I hope she is okay. smig asks if im okay. you lok different. safira smelsl different. what have you been doing? I found a home. a lovely home. learned a lot.

smig wants to come with me. I don't think so. he should not be chaotic with my dragons, they would eat him. Exclusive club. it is!

Jeth and Ivy trade information.

saving kids and gnomes.

why am I being so secretive? i think the dragons wouldn't mind me sharing my connection. I'm scared to drag their name through the dirt.

must mention eventually. Im proud of my clan. and I am one of them if I am shown with them at neverwinter and turning into dragon.

when aquasir fell, it pulled a pocket universe of a craggy mountain that no one can find. secret entrance somewhere.

hedra was on a expeditaiton to red larch funding by acq incorporation.

ventured into twisting branches, came across wandering stone golem. she thought it was a sapphire sentinel from prince qinrel.

I hesistate to say this now out loud in it's native language but hedra mention prince qinrel's name in the official tongue of the netherys people and supposed the golem' came to life when she said the name and followed her around. hedra and this golem were able to slightly communicate. the golem was sad and lost. they came across this strange village that was very welcoming. over a few days, she realized something wasn't right with this town. she came across a stone tablet with a black dragon statue and humanoid bones.

tried to escape. magical tracer on the golem and gave her journal and commanded it to run away and now here we are.

hedra beleived that the golem was trying to find it's way back to it's master.

Khashana asks about the black dragon and the statue.

she knows that 500years ago, there was a giant black dragon known as vorganmathar that became known as the wrym and assulated adventurer. home in the boggy areas

dread cult robed in black. dragons like magical items. I need my pearl. black dragons in particular like magic.

there are a lot of people drawn to the magical disruption of the twisted branches, magic items!!

Jeth asks about them activating the statue in the middle of town. when and how? what will it do?

we have a long list of to dos!

we could summon the golem and command it to follow with us.

ivy offers to let brother mertens look at the book

we will do chores today then meet first light to sumomn the golem and go. Smig must see brega.

we pass the missing poster board. find the adventurers guild.

are you here to register? looking for a guide. ivy shows the letter from yeagor. middle aged elvish woman comes out. walks up to ivy . a personal reference from yeagor is rare. her name is Maja Serelis? special seat of the council of three. sounds like you need a guide to the twisted branches. what do you need?

leaf's end. looking for children and ziggy.

red larch mentioned. rings a bell. groups of adventurers from that guild who operated out of here.

200 years ago hedra left on this journey. following her footsteps.

intersting that master yeagor would assign her to this group for just that.

jeth talks about how our research is better than the others and we are more prepared for this journey. we do need to awaken the sentinel in town so it's good that she is connected to the council.

she is fascinted. we have words. names carry power.

give her a day! we can pick up goods in leaf end's.

meet her at the statue at first dawn.

how do we tell the council of our plans? we have yeagor's card. could seek out an audience. he could arrange it.

the party goes to the council. Khashana goes to zuggy's. the girl appreacites me paying the debt asap as she does need to eat. I say we are looking for ziggy still.

Ivy tells yeagor that we are waking up the sentinel in the morning and explains our current quests. Yeagor says okay. but please stand off to the side for the audience with the rest of the council. next walking in older late 50s gentleman, ponch, gray hair master balrun.

some days, council meetings are nice, gets you out of everything.

couple minutes later, huge bugbear with lots of jewelry and sharp pointy teeth, ducks a bit under the door. pulls a chair and moves it to one side. wasn't the busiest day for me so happy to meet. looks directly at smig.

yeagor explains the situation. a bit of back and forth but the council agrees that it's okay to wake the statue. there are trades of little deals between the groups. normal council business.

dinner meeting tonight. meeting done.

I'd like to have a word with the group. -the people leader

you are in good hands with maja.

master yeagor finds me outside and tells me how to get inside!

I join the group and find the group being chatted with the leader.

I liked your uncle. Im sad he is gone. business is business. leave the dead alone. I see the resemblence.

Smig says ther eis a alot i could say to you but I am try8ing not to.

some say that is wisdom.

your uncle was a little more direct.

Jeth help - says Smig

Jeth tries to cover . good job Jeth.

Smig, the people in karse are trying to offer a more legitimate way. your uncle followed them for a long time and then he stopped following them and now he is dead. he broke a particulary strong pact. smuggling a dangerous creature and that was unnacceptable. uncle tony's speciality was dealing in magical creatures. it was unfortunate. but I would like to start over with your family. Perhaps we can benifit each other. when looking at you, fate is really catching up with you, isn't it.

Be a wisdom and listen

Jeth is our lawyer. no no scholar.!

Fate is fickle, smig. sometimes it helps to have someone in your corner. perhaps I could be in your corner for a price. nothing illegal. I seek an items from the twisted branches. some ruins of elvish civilazation. a horn. a magical horn. a dragon's horn. rumored to be a horn from the

the one time consort of tiamat. a certain sect of the thanyans. master yeagor disatance from this group. I like to deal in power and influence. if I can secure the horn before this group, i could help the people and towns.

Khashana is fascinated by this horn.

smig explain his patron and his values based on his patron.

Kashahan pipes up saysing that no matter what his patron says, it could be interestiung to keep an eye out for this horn.

Smig is worried about upsetting the balance of power in the council if we get that horn for one.

I was trying to be open minded with our business. I will try to contiue to do so. let's just say that fate can be fickle.

I'll trust that you'll bring me the horn and if you don't "it was nice to meet you"

we will see what happens. We all answer to someone.

neither of us want to be white tony.

the bugbear smells my owlbear. i offer it. too rare for him. gives it back. talk about bags that cooks food in a pouch.

people worry about the thayanns. master yeagor is a good soul. i would hate if you disrupted that.

master balrun, if you are interested in that, come see me after the forest.
