The Endless Divide - Episode Nineteen

## Synopsis:

Luya Barie set out months ago on an expedition to cross the Endless Divide, also known as The Quiet Lands. She and her crew were seeking the eastern coast of A'lune. No one ever heard back from them until one day, a message was sent to the Court of Abishot through some sort of magic. 25 words came from Barie:

"We almost died on journey. Found massive city in quiet lands. Cannot get back. Too dangerous. Met their wizard. They need help. Safe currently. Luya."

Abishot hired the Whispering Cutlass to seek out this lost city of the Divide and its citizens. Over 100 individuals set out on the journey.

This is the nineteenth adventure in The Endless Divide Saga.

## Adventure Summary:

**Day 81 (10% Caravan Supplies)** The group continued to search the cave system and found a thirty foot drop that lead to another set of caves. After entering the cave system the mercenaries found three Treclaxon in a large open area. All the creatures had spears, swords, and other weapons fused to its hide, making its already impenetrable hide that more difficult to strike. Snarela laid down a magical snare in an attempt to trap one of the creatures. One Treclaxon charged the group and was able to charge through the magical snare, withstanding its effects. As it passed the group, Brutus noticed a strange looking sword, which stuck out from the rest, protruding from it's hide. Bandin cast the spell detect magic and was able to see that one of the Treclaxon had two magical weapons protruding from its hide. After a long battle, including hunting one of the Treclaxon that ran away, the mercenaries defeated the beasts and claimed the hides and weapons.

The group discovered a magical short sword and dagger, as well as the strange sword Brutus saw. After some investigation the group determined this weapon to be made from Thulium as it was extremely strong and was not able to be scratched.

The group returned to the dust creatures and told them of the discovery of the Thulium. The group requested that they rest for some time and also that they deliver the item to the creatures leader, the "genie." The creatures agreed to this and the group took a long rest.

## Outcome:

The mercenaries were able to defeat three Treclaxon and claim their hides as well as the weapons that had been fused to them, including several magical weapons.
