## Return to Athkatla

The 7th Star sailed into port slowly guided by Bhog. After the paperwork and planning the adventurers headed to the library. They passed by Antioc at the entrance and ran to the study where Mathias was working. He was snoring lightly on his desk so Elnaril grabbed the chair, toppling the mage awake on his ass. He recovered quickly happy to see the adventurers but their grim faces told a different story. A torrent of accusations and apologies were exchanged as Mathias tried to convince them the haywire teleportation was not his fault. In the end he was forced to research the necrotic worm before receiving the magic cup.

In the meantime the party researched more of the notes from the tower related to the demonic alcohol: the entire brewing process was detailed as well as all he needed ingredients and quantities. There were than a dozen recipes in there, for all tastes and races. Most of the ingredients were easy to get hold of, except one ingredient for each drink. The only source for the ingredients was Hell, one ingredient could be found on each level from two to eight.

Mathias discovered the worm was a template and could be used to replicate itself. So feeding it meat would make it spawn a new worm but without the same property to replicate. The template could be modified but with a lot of magic. In return for this information he received the goblet. He could use this item hopefully to continue his research - the gemstone was a piece of the outer planes most likely from the Outlands.

In the market a gnome enchanter agreed to take on Fulgerica and Xavier as apprentices. At the same time he started working on replicating the Larimar of the BattleMage. The price was a little steep, 20 Displacer beast hides, these could be found inside the forest of Wyrms. Bhog also requested a sleep gauntlet, for sneaky work, that would be ready in a week. This is also where they sold the crystals and any other useless items for a grand total of 3000GP.

Xavier visited the temple of Gond and got his item. A truly wondrous creation that could turn light into darkness. After some experimenting the conclusion was it could turn a dark area of 20ft radius into light and vice versa - this new item would be named the "Deluminator". The "Rail Gun" on the ship was brought up and Xavier asked if a device such as a "capacitor" could be created to store the electric power and fire the gun without the need of a mage. The excitement visible on the priest's face as he ran towards the docks to inspect the gun. Xavier went looking for the high priests to discuss the cult in Neverwinter.

Two more items were researched by the adventurers. The broken bowl was a storage for energy that when released would open a portal to a realm, in this case the realm of Blibdoolpoolp. The iron flask could not be researched but they knew the command word. With Mathias a magic circle was traced on the ground and Jeeves opened the bottle inside it. Out of the bottle a jackal faced creature emerged. Bisque identified it as an Arcanaloth. Obviously he did not want to talk to the adventurers but the prospect of going back into the flask was even less appealing. Elnaril made a deal with his that they could give it it's freedom in exchange for the ingredients from hell. The creature agreed and went away in a puff of smoke.

## The Feywild

The forest of Whyrm was decided to be the next stop. Eager to prove the last time it was an accident Mathias proposed to teleport them to the closest city Soubar. Reluctantly the team agreed, Fulgerica going as far as showing Mathias a certain gesture to imply what would happen in case their were send off target again.

Whatever by luck or actual competence the adventurers got to the destination. In town they talked to the village elder, she told them of a group of hunters a few decades coming out of the forest with Displaces beast hides and tales of a portal next to a mount in the middle of the forest.

The party started tracking the beasts in the forest and soon got two pelts. The mount was located in the middle of the forest and inside it was a structure made of glass and roots. Inside it was a dead leafy dragon, Fulgerica got inside, started singing and was teleported to the feywilds. He met the Autumn Queen that thanked him for singing to her friend the dead dragon. Feeling worried and alone Fulgerica asked if his friends could come along. The Queen teleported the rest of them to the feywilds.
