We decide to take a long rest and head back to Eldoria. While resting Franz sees some kobolds in the distance hiding in the bushes and obliterates them with fireball.
Eric and his mom have a heart to heart. They talk about what Elias's uncle might want. He's short tempered and feels like he always has something to prove, and he's very insecure. Maron suspects that he moves forward gaining as much power as he can so he doesn't have to worry as much. Passin hated Elias's father. Everything has always come easy to his father. They discuss the legitimacy of Passin's position on the council. Marion worries that is going to mean problems for Elias and his dad.
The group is then attacked by this monkey guy with wings. (Nalfeshnee). While fighting Ashe comes out of the woods ot warn the group of this very guy.
We fight and this guy tries to eat Franz a lot of times. With the help of Ashe's panther, Glum we are able to defeat the demon. AFter we win, Franz notices his Demonomicon missing. An invisible creature is trying to run away with it, however, franz is able to kill it and get his book back.
Ashe and Glum have a conversation about the creation of Glume. Anders Beltgarden was the creator of Glum. (we can read the rest to find out)
Anyway, we discuss what Elias's campaign mission is going to be. Are we doing to try to collect the money again? The Dwarves took back most of the gold from the dragon's laire. What is his dad and uncle going to do? We talk about Shar releasing Elias from his contract with mammon. He also has a mission he must complete for her, but he doesn't remember what it is.
Elias is uncertain what he wants to do exactly. Peace with Passin doesn't really seem possible. We don't know if all the gold even belongs to the dwarves, nor do we have any way to prove it. Maybe we can garner some kind of agreement between the dwarves and Eldoria.
We also need to find Spite...Passin could be using her as a weapon.
We decide to garner a deal with the dwarves and Eldoria, and try to get "closer" to Passin. We also discuss if it was dawles that was behind the red rat creature attacking QM. There was a young drow wizard fellow named Center...What is his place in all of this? Is Elias's uncle working with the sewers cult?
1st step- Have the dwarves work with blackwood to sort their shit out.
2nd step- convince Blackwood that we need to "get in good" with his uncle
3rd- see if the uncle has a demonomicon which would allow him to summon demons
4th step- kill some vampires
5th step- profit
I guess only 2 dwarves survived the dragon fight
We've got some guards left a
Anyway, while taking another rest, we see another dragon flying above that seems to have it's attention focused on us.
Thank goodness, it's a silver dragon. Is it Aurendille? Please be Aurendille. Actually it decides to leave. However, it shows back up for the next watch. It leaves us alone all night but circles back a few times.
We make it back to Eldoria eventually. We catch blackwood up on everything that has happened. QM is doing much better.
She's pretty impressed with everybody. We start to pick our rooms at the homebase...I guess there are levers and the rooms move around? I don't know honestly. WE decide to customize a bunch of rooms. Joe wrote it all down.
This is where we end.
