Session 29: Westward Bound

In order to "save" Eberron, the party needs to find some dragon blood with relatives of the dragon Khyber. Nathanial mentioned that such a dragon would exist in the shadow marches in the great abyss where Khyber's influence would be the strongest.   However, the party has not determined how exactly they are going to get there and were finishing up some loose ends when they got dismissed by Zelcer by deserting the encamping for several months and attacked by Parack the blacksmith who was still annoyed by the intrusion of his home that caused damage to his rug.   How are they going to get there? Beats the big bad DM as no one specified how they were going to do this.
