Session 33 - Asgorath Revelations & Beast Rescues

As I wake up I cast Scrying and focus on Uncle Wodric. As I'm in the process of the spell, I feel a block, either of an arcane or divine nature, but I manage to push through and get a glimpse of Wodrics hands and shoulders, wielding a hand axe cutting down on manacles around another Dwarf I'm not familiar with.
 
Carved into the white stone above the large double doors at The Storyteller is a symbol that looks like an eight pointed start, but not sure. As I knock, the door is flung open and Oddy, the Grung is waiting for us. He invited us in, ahead of us is big spiral staircase leading upwards. To the side of the staircase is another set of large doors that lead into a corridor towards the central tower. We're led down the corridor and notice various portraits of people in heroic poses, all of them have the same eight pointed star above each one. We arrive in the main room, and in the middle is as we expected, a large tree trunk through the middle going up, appearing from below. By the tree is a piece of metalwork that the symbol we've seen is actually a compass. The compass is painted to replicate a rainbow type effect, maybe a nod to Asgorath?
 
Ody said he hadn't told Morgrim that we're here. He said that Morgrim can be grumpy. Through the doors we hear "What the fuck do you think you're doing" and we then just hear shouting at Ody, and something breaking.
Standing at 3 1/2 feet tall, wearing heavy chain mail, a morning star to their side, a badger like creature, striding towards us with intense purpose.
Morgrim is angrily demanding why we're here and Ody mentions that Ape used lightning in our fight. We tell him that our powers are innate and he asks us to prove it to him.
We use ours powers and the compass around the tree, glows as well as a crackle of energy that appeared around us which we've never seen before, probably due to us using them together. He calms and mentions it was good for Ody to tell us to come and lead us towards the garden. He takes us to the trunk of the tree, where we see 2 beautiful 11 foot tall statues of two individuals. One a Dragonborn, one horn missing the other curled upwards, carved with armour and tail ends with a wicked axe end. The other statue, a human woman with long hair reaching down to her waist, carved in robes, the robes torn, a pink petal flower sprouting from her hand.
The two people, are the founding members of The Paragon
250/60 years ago. Feldris Kilhazra, Dayhana Cloudfell. Part of a group of individuals called Breath of the Ninefold. Once they had finished what they were doing they founded The Paragon.
Morgrim has knowledge on Asgorath, and is asking what we know and where we're headed. The last time these powers appeared was 250 years ago.
 
Ody knows someone who he trusts who can take us to Chankata. Rosie Zeryl, Captain of the Charlock Carrion. Good friend and sailor, has helped Ody a few times but will need persuasion to go to Chankata.
 
Ody said to find the Dijou Inn if we find ourselves in need of respite from Master Xaifeng's teaching.
 
We made our way to an alleyway to allow for Austar's Seeming spell to be cast without onlookers. Ape and Raskin then make their way to The Cheap Buckler and head down towards the Undertrade to try and rescue the Steel Monarch. Myself, Austar and Malaphor wait nearby just in case we're needed to go down and help.
 
Not long after they've been down in the Undertrade, I get a message through the sending stone that they need help from Raskin. As we get down there, I see Raskin suddenly disappear followed by shouting "FIND THEM". I tell the Austar and Malaphor they got out and we head back up.
 
We group up with Raskin and Ape in an alley and drop our disguises. As we're leaving a guy walks past us with purpose looking for our disguised selves. Coming out of a boathouse near The Cheap Buckler is a sloop with a cage on it that Ape notices is the same cage as the one below that housed the Gore Rhino. We decide to try and intercept the boat further up the river as Morgrim told us it would be quicker to get to the coast by Momoko.
 
We stop by the Beastkeepers and let Im'Shal know that we saved the Steel Monarch and are on our way out of the city.
We head out the main gate we entered from in the South and got on our Momoko's and headed West following the river. Not long after we found the boat that had the other creature Ape told us about.
