General Summary

Running Errands

23rd of Irami’el 1245 AE

With some time left before nightfall the group decided to gather some supplies and run some personal errands. Aiden and Nimble Shadow decided to hear around in local taverns if anybody knew something about the recent Dragon they had seen. From the patrons there they learned that dragons were a rare sight in this part of the world, especially white Dragons. Normally white Dragons stay in the northern continent of Idravil. However there were recent rumors that more had been seen recently in Carthen to the north as well. On top of that they learned that many ships don’t sail from ports in Carthen anymore since severe storms have started appearing around the ruins of the ancient Avaronian capital of Bagor.

Umeko wanted to find some quiet after meeting with an avatar of Lofior. She found a small shrine to all of the Eregr Pantheon gods and tried to reach Andaya. Although it was faint she did feel a presence while praying.
In de meantime Vittoria Bendetti decided to go shopping for some new materials for her spells. Afterwards she decided to see if there was any candy to be found. She stumbled upon a small shop where an old lady was selling several sweets and Vittoria decided to buy some from her. She even bought an exotic piece of candy called chocolate.
Finrod Ingoldo and Dimble Cloak, on the other hand, went to the The Keepers library in the city. Dimble wanted to return the stolen books he had taken from the black market merchant earlier. After inquiring about the Keepers member who had stolen the books , Dimble learned that he hadn’t been seen for two days. The Keepers were especially interested in the Selefer Temple, that Dimble mentioned, and would send an expedition very soon. The discovery of the Stone Defenders was of interest to them as well. However the local Keepers didn’t have the resources to mount an expedition into the Lower Realms from here. Meanwhile Finrod went on to search for some books in the library after which he rejoined with Dimble. Eventually everyone met up at an inn to get some rest before their journey the next day.

Travelling Westward

24th of Irami’el 1245 AE

During the night Umeko started to get restless. In a horrible nightmare she saw Lofior tempting her to seek power that he could grant to her while filling her mind with violent images. The others in the room noticed her kicking around and yelling and tried to get her out of it. Eventually Nimble Shadow took the nearby pisspot and threw it on Umeko. She woke up but more pissed than usual.
In the morning the group left the city with their horses and started their journey to Golandon. Although the road was paved it had seen better days due to frequent use and neglect. Along the way the group passed several caravans and travellers but nothing dangerous for the first few days.

Dragon Theft

27th of Irami’el 1245 AE

On the 27th, however, they were in for a surprise. Smoke appeared in front of them and blocked their path. Soon after they were ambushed by two Gnomes in a rather strange looking metal armor. They indentified themselves as Kojiro and Musashi of the Raitin. After their short introduction they made it clear that they wanted to get the group’s bronze dragon which the adventurers, of course, refused.
A fight ensued in which the adventurers had a hard time to survive since both Aiden and Dimble went down for a while. The two Gnomes were accompanied by two mechanical creatures, a metal cobra and a metal ball creating smoke. Musashi appeared to be a very adept spellcaster while Kojiro teleported around the area with superb speed and dealing electric damage everywhere he came. When the metal cobra was killed Kojiro decided to take Spiror and teleport to Musashi.
The group quickly followed with their horses and but saw that the gnomes left Spiror behind. This turned out to be an illusion which gave the Gnomes enough time to get to their mechanical rides. The group went in the direction that the Gnomes disappeared to until they started seeing several ruined trees. Once they scaled a small hill they saw a crashed airship which had destroyed a good part of the surrounding trees.
