[Recap] MoM’s Intrepid Living Fable #16

Last time on MoM’s Intrepid Living Fable...
 
Our heroes had just rescued the gravely injured Sir Aryn from a keep held by the Cult of the Dragon in general, and a terrifying red dragon in particular.
 
While Trystan selflessly saw to his former mentor’s health, and Endry focused with all his might to keep the red dragon away, Ai and Ren explored the ruined keep. Atop a tower, they found the dragon’s nest, containing two eggs exactly; no more and no less. Showing excellent team spirit, and outstanding moral character, the two of them asked both the group and Sir Aryn what to do about the eggs. The experienced knight ordered them destroyed, and that was the end of that!
 
The group resolved to deliver Sir Aryn to safety as quickly as possible, arranging to meet with further knights halfway, through Ren messaging Leosim. On the way, Trystan offered himself for a position within the Knights of Tyr, and was ignored, probably due to Yarrick interruption and not because Sir Aryn seems subtly uncomfortable around Trystan. Additionally, the older knight claims, in the proper parlance of the profession… “dibs” on the red dragon, and made the group promise to tell him if they saw him and let him be there if they fought it.
 
Afterwards, the group traveled to the town of Kheldell, to look at the keep they recently acquired. There they met the locals, including Zev the Barkeep and Tish the dwarven Caretaker of the Keep. They also threw a mighty rager. After which they planned some repairs, re-christened their fort as the House of Mighty Endeavors (MoM’s HoME), and left for Neverwinter, Jewel of the North.
 
Ai and Ren did not give Jhartael, the necromancer, the third red dragon egg before leaving, because, as we have already established, there was no third dragon egg!
 
Arriving there, Ai explained that she used to be in a band, together with a human woman named Portia and an elf man named Latice, until one day they were all mysteriously attacked by cultists. Said cultists did not perform dark rituals involving Ai specifically. She was very explicit in denying this, and we all believe her (we really do, we rolled for it…).
 
Trystan went to the police, and using astounding levels of privilege and some modicum of lying, learned, well… nothing about the elf and the human, but that fae-connected races had been going missing. He also learned what the fuck a Satyr was, and finally put two and two together.
 
Ai learned that her friends are waiting for her back home and all is well, and that nothing even mildly resembling a trap is waiting for her there.
 
Finally, as they took off towards Ai’s village in the woods, the group was intercepted by the Knights of Helm.
