Session 40

11/15/20

With the wild events of the night before, several of the crewmembers wake up late the following day. Jack sleeps in until right before their departure, Rakkesh enjoys his morning down in the common room of the Gnarled Giant, and Flynn heads to the Von Khaldor library to do a bit of research on the dragons of the area. He finds out that there are four specific dragons in the world that existed during the Age of Principium. At the end of the Arcane Wars, and the creation of other planes of existence, these four dragons were responsible for being the anchors to the elemental planes. Aryses, the bronze dragon that was killed on The Shimmering Peaks was responsible for the air elemental plane.  Norulax, the white dragon that attacked Nebkuma is responsible for the water elemental plane. Ulrayeth, the red dragon that resides in the southern reaches of the Magster Mountains is responsible for the fire elemental plane. And Dundreas, a copper dragon that has not been heard of for centuries is responsible for the earth elemental plane. Having learned a little more about some of the dragons in the world, Flynn headed back to the Gnarled Giant to meet up with the rest of the crew and they departed from Von Khaldor. The remainder of the day was spent hiking out of the eastern tunnels until they finally smelled fresh air high in the Magster Mountains. Not wanting to continue the long journey down the mountains in the dark, the party made camp for the evening. The following day they made their way down the mountainside and in the late afternoon, they arrived in Cliffdale. Russ and Randy, along with their families headed for the Tadellus homestead, while the crew of the Vengeful Eye and the Gold Gobblers headed to the local inn The Wacky Crab and met the owner, Curtis, who didn’t have quite enough space for everyone to stay that evening. Rakkesh, Jack, and Flynn shared a room, while Sebastian divided rooms amongst the rest of the crew. That evening Flynn went to the whirlpool located in the center of the pond, where he met an old fisherman named Pappy. Flynn polymorphed into a shark and attempted to find out what was located underneath the whirlpool. When he wasn’t satisfied with his discoveries, he headed back to The Wacky Crab, but later returned with Jack and Rakkesh. Rakkesh made his way down to the hole at the bottom of the pond, only to find an empty cavern that had an underground river heading back towards Milburn Lake. The following day Russ and Randy finished the preparations for the wedding while the rest of the party spent the day in Cliffdale. That night, Rakkesh, Flynn, and Jack visited Russ and Randy, shared some drinks and stories, and they gave each of them a gift, earrings that allowed them to talk with one another within a certain range. The day of the wedding finally arrives. Jack, along with Gildo Trickycup played the ceremonial music, Flynn participates in the wedding as the best man to Russ, and Rakkesh as captain of The Vengeful Eye performed the ceremony. Russ and Randy exchanged their vows in a nontraditional manner, and once the “I Do’s” were said, the crowd gave thunderous applause. The reception was held in the tent outside of the Tadellus homestead, where Betty and Curtis assisted in serving the food. Bartlett and Flynn gave their best man speeches, and the crew of The Vengeful Eye partied together before many heartfelt goodbyes were said. Russ and Randy, along with Russ’ family and many of the crew were headed for Northmeadow the following morning. Gildo Trickycup and several of the other gnomes were setting out early in the morning for Thordash, and for the first time since they came back together near Whiteshell, Jack, Flynn, and Rakkesh were no longer burdened with taking care of the crew and with that freedom they head out for whatever adventures lie before them.
