Return to Aethoria Report

General Summary

After much toil within the Brassblade Vault the party finally managed to escape with most of their loot intact, though the magical disc created by Li-trix was lost to a pit with no apparent bottom. Upon exiting the mountain and making it back to the dry riverbed where they had previously made camp, the group decided to re-employ the area as a camp. The last watch of the night took Doros by surprise as a Land Shark and its child took him and Peren by surprise and after a brief but severe combat, both creatures retreated into the night, though not without consequence as Doros ended up in a near-death situation. Nevertheless, the party survived and made their way back up the mountains on the southern coast and back to the Beyonder, where the crew sent in another rowboat after the one they had initially brough was detroyed by the tides. In the long journey back home they encountered a sea of blood, seemingly caused by a draconic creature hunting whales that then looked upon the deck and asked for a treasure, single and unique, which Doros provided in the form of the amulet that had caused them to be locked in the Vault to begin with. Satisfied, the dragon left the boat alone and retreated into the depths of the bloody waters. At last returning from an impossible journey, the party disembarked, leaving a Diplomat's pouch with captain Latros in case they needed further transport out at sea, as well as a nominal payment of four of the gold bars from the vault. On the ferry back to Dagrun there ocurred a small altercation involving the deck of cards found by Drake and the illusoy basilisk it created on deck. Nevertheless, Doros and Eleonora held off the crew while Li-trix, Drake and Aranxes fought over the deck of cards, ending with Aranxes giving it to Eleonora, who was tending to a briefly unconscious Drake. After a brief verbal confrontation between the entire party some details about Aranxes's.... personal tastes, emerged causing him to go straight to his own home rather than the Steele Manor. While the party arrived to the manor, Aranxes was greeted by one of the most terrifying sounds he'd heard in some time; his mother, calling out his full name.
