Session 6 -5E, 211th year. 8th day of firstfrost. 227 Bedlam watched Kleatus kiss Myreene and then sneak through the hidden tunnel to the south. She told woxbood to stay on the roof as she investigated. Kleatus left as Woxbood made his noisy entrance. Bedlam had already slit Myreene's throat. Woxbood said that some men in red armor were in the metal warehouse across the street. She ran away and slept in a tree. Woxbood made a sod blanket and both went to bed. They woke up and began training, Woxbood sweats sap. Sossari and Arygos wake up to go and see what Lethe is doing at the resort for the veterans. They follow along when she mentions she is missing her mineral water from Myreene's Essential Oils store. Sossari offers arygos to go get the shipment. Lethe accepts because she thinks Myreene's new boyfriend Kleatus kept her up late. Triss finishes up at the library to run into a sweaty bedlam and woxbood. She cleans them up as they discuss the dead oil lady. Woxbood comes out with his quilted bridge and tells how he thought he was scammed by a traveling salesman. Triss and Bedlam tell him to go work at the vineyard. As Arygos makes his way across town, he runs into triss and bedlam. They discuss under a bridge about the mischievous deeds of last night. They make their way to the oil shop and retrieve bedlam rope. After arguing they make their way to the tunnel while triss has a smoke. They find Kleaftus who used to work with Arygos. Sossari charms Lethe and learns that these men were all sent here by the Warden of the Woods Barren Blackcherry. She just kept saying how these men were good soldiers whi needed to fight their demons. Sossari dispels the magic on Rayne. Other men in the circle have a shared tattoo with Rayne but he doesn't know who he is or who they are. Sossari sees that one of the men looks like Rayne. This is Grai Cross, a swordsman of the High Guard. His memory isnt quite as gone as he has only been here a couple months. After the Krakens Nest was destroyed, Grai went to visit his brother in the Aerie. His brother was said to have left for a retreat in Crinian 4 years earlier. The last thing Grai remembers is meeting with Barren Blackcherry. Sossari and the Cross brothers leave to go find their friends at the Essential Oil shop. They all meet up and plan to go and kill the slaver buddy of Arygos because they believe they are working with the Kingfishers. The throw the corpse of Kleatus' liver through the window and the slaver viciously attacks Arygos. A fight ensues and the good guys prevail after some self inflicted wounds and head devouring by a sabre toothed tiger. Kleatus calls out in his dying breath that he is glad they captured Arygos' Brother. Bedlam takes a key off of the slave leader and they make their way inside the warehouse. Inside there are cages of dead dragon wyrmlings tortured and slaughtered. Sossari casts light and the find a lone dragon in the corner cage. It is oozing black liquid from its scales. The cage is encrusted with black Crystal's opposite of the ones Bedlam found. The dying beast reacted positively to the crystal so Bedlam ded it to him. It began to speak in modern draconic.all the older dragons speak the lost language of Synapsi. That's why they cant understand but the younger wyrmlings know modern speak. The dragons name was Amethyst and revealed that the Kingfishers were using their stash of Crystal's to enrage the dragons and cause them pain. Amethyst mentioned that the leader of this province's Kingfishers was wielding the Dragonlance stolen from the Village of Nak. Triss found one document left with any information in it, a food order for a displacer beast with special instructions to get it right. The reason why there was so much caution was the displacer beast was owned by Barren Blackcherry. Current leader of the Mooncrest Kingfishers and the Cardinalhood.
