Session 14: Owls, Kobolds, Squirrels, and Dreams, Oh My!

June 5, 2021

party and the elf-blooded, the Sylvor siblings, woke up on the 20th of Suntide's Rise. They were immediately attacked by a group of Owlkocra bandits. The bandits spoke of a 'Master Gondrick'party killed most of them, leaving only four of them to flee. Devinn found a coin of delving, and they looted several weapons (mainly scimitars and shortbows).

Mordus then had a talk with Norx; he said that he did not have the answers Mordus wanted, but he knew how he could get them. He also told Mordus where he was from a (village near Whiteharbour, which was washed away by the tide), and that he lost his hand just like Mordus lost his eye. They decided to part ways without bloodshed.

party then traveled to the first wayside rest stop. Deciding to actually go north through the woods instead of following the main road, they ran right into a kobold camp. They learned that the kobolds wanted to "bring back the green one" and that "you must not disturb the ritual". Zephyr changed his appearance, using Arkorow's alter self potion, to look draconic and green; the kobolds were immediately entranced, calling him the "chosen of the green one". With some shenanigans, and several kobolds expelling themselves from their own tribe for having "angered the green one's chosen", the party rushed further north, taking care to avoid the ritual site - a site which Alyk scouted and saw that they were indeed trying to raise the skeletal remains of a large dragon.

Going north, they avoided any further kobolds and made it to the river. They decided to cross it at the landing beach by casting water walk. There was also a boat, but who wants to sail, right? Arriving on the other side, after an incredibly long day, it was getting very dark, and they settled down in the shade of a few trees and under Devinn's dome. During a prayer, his eyes turned pitch black which startled everyone. He also got besieged by a squirrel, Randy, and his squirrel-wife, Betty, who assumed the party was here for their nuts.

Devinn then had a dream where he was back in the dark dungeon that lead to the disappeared library. An echoing ancient voice reverberated through the corridors, "As he fell into his sleep; the stage is set with wondrous things; of long-lost memories, he must weep; he misses the creatures in the wings."

Meanwhile, Arkorow had a dream where he saw a 'red dragonborn' in a meditative position. Great flames erupted from him and around him. Then the dream ended.

party had a rest, it is now the 21st of Suntide's Rise, and the first thing they see is a cow off west just out of reach being snatched up by a green dragon; not a skeletal dragon, and in fact smaller than the skeleton that Alyk saw.
