Aronin's Adventure in Evermeet

by Wizard of the Blue Thunderbolts Aronin Hazenscar

In the home of Bargala Olithir, called the Tower of the Olithir, Aronin and the Outsiders had taken to the hospitality. The large mansion had lifted from the ground and drifted off to the northwest toward the Lake of Dreams as she'd shown us to quarters. She'd explained that the tower consumed magic to move and that the lake fueled it. She also explained that the tower could pass into other planes of existence as well. The Outsides then conversed on the fourth floor about languages before settling in, Aronin learned that Osa spoke Elven and Eldred spoke Infernal and Abyssal. Once settled in, Bargala a beautiful woman, offered us dinner and conversation around a table. Aronin, with the help of his wingman Eldred mildly flirted with Bargala as she asked about his home. Osa then explained what happened to her and Eldred in Chult. Eldred explained that they found a piece of Ubtao's heart in a temple and it was likely what blew the top off of the tower. He explained that they each received a boon from the primordial and Osa's was the knowledge of her lover's death. Eldred then asked about and spoke of the former Hosttower's quest for power and his transformation into a lich but Bargala put his mind to rest. Osa thanked Bargala once again after Aronin took a moment to flirt once more. After a drink of Elven Wine, The Outsiders accompanied Bargala to the library and Eldred informed her and the other Outsiders that Primus in Mechanus would have more answers.
 
After Osa and Eldred retired, Aronin agreed to meet Bargala in the ball room with his equipment. She had the instruments around magically play the Waltz as she kicked Aronin's ass all over the dance floor with their Wizard's Blade. She and Aronin then retired for an evening with Bargala which she thoroughly enjoyed, after awakening in Bargala's room The Outsider confer once more in the library. Bargala admitted to the most interesting week she'd had in a century as she began to discuss Wild Magic. She detailed Wild Magic and then spoke of the Cult of the Dragon. She told The Outsiders of the Dracoliches and Tiamat whom wish to bring to power. Aronin then discussed the opportunity with his compatriots and offered the wisdom that the situation would offer a great learning opportunity. Having agreed upon the quest, she offered to take The Outsiders to Skalnaedyr to combat the Cult of the Dragon. After a series of pleasant nights for The Outsiders, they arrived at a great forest that held the lake within. There were four pyramids in the lake and as the house then lowered and rested between them, magic energy began to spark and charge the house. Bargala then took the group to an Ironwood door that was in fact the treasury of the home. She offered Eldred a well made dwarven shortsword. She gifts Aronin a black spell book that looked very new. It was an enduring spellbook that couldn't be burned or soiled by water. Aronin's eyes couldn't leave it once the book was in his hands, as the conversation muffled he eventually found his way to the study to transcribe his book only taking another moment to lay with Bargala again.
 
On the morning of the 1st of Uktar, Bargala transported The Outsiders to Skalnaedyr and Aronin led them forward into his hometown. Aronin shed a tear as he saw his Order's 80' tall tower. Sagomith greeted The Outsiders but more specifically Aronin with a big hug. Everyone was excited to see him and Sagomith himself admitted that the tower could largely be attributed to Aronin. The Outsiders are lead to meet Sorabald and he took them to a local tavern. The tavern and inn was owned by the Blue Thunderbolts. At the meeting he informed Aronin that what he'd heard about the Order's rising was true. Sorabald then began speaking of the Plains of Purple Dust, the Rauthenflow, and the general area. Back at the tower Sorabald told The Outsiders that the Cult of the Dragon allied themselves with a young red dragon that could damage Aronin's Order. Master Sorabald them informed The Outsiders that a decedent of Skalnaedyr had appeared in the Plains of Purple Dust and that it could aid the Order should the lair of the dragon wyrmling. Sorabald then produced a wooden box that offered a single blue scale the size of a palm with a rune inscribed upon it, he claimed it to be a scale of Skalnaedyr. He handed Aronin the scale with a divination upon it and in Aronin's hands he felt a faint pull to the south. Sorabald then informed the group that representatives from Cormyr were coming to meet with the Master. Lionar Rodrik, a captain of the Purple Dragons, and a magic-user known as a Master entered and began to speak with them. Lionar Rodrik recognized Aronin as he informed the group of his standing with the Order and Cormyr's intent to stop the Cult of the Dragon. He offered to aid in the security of Murghôm though diplomats and direct security to the order. Offered a fine 100 year old brandy, The Outsider's find rest at the Order's Inn, The Shocking Suds. After three days of learning to ride camels to Aronin's laughter, the group learned to ride and Osa's camel even became friendly to her whilst Eldred's grew a gentle fondness for him.
 
The Outiders set out on the 4th of Uktar toward the Plains of the Purple Dust and in the night they saw distant travelers on the road to the north. On the morning of the 5th, Aronin sat back and smiled on a peaceful morning.
