Session 41

11/22/2020

As Flynn wakes up, he finds a note from Rakkesh slid underneath his door. He had a friend that contacted him that he needed to speak with.  Flynn shows the note to Jack as they eat their breakfast at The Wacky Crab, and as they are discussing what to do a dwarf walks down from the rooms upstairs and begins talking with Curtis. Intrigued by what this dwarf was saying, Flynn and Jack pull up a chair for this dwarf to eat his breakfast with them. He is a religious dwarf, and it appears that his faith requires him to head to Ellenboro, and with Rakkesh out of the picture Flynn and Jack decide they will take the dwarfs company along the road and later find out his name is Beradin Ironbrow. On the first day of travel, several air elemental creatures attack the party, and midway through the fight, Marcus shows up riding a sphinx like creature, that he later names as Erantoris. Both Beradin and Marcus prove their worth in the fight and Marus catches Flynn and Jack up on what he has been doing, and why he showed up riding on this creature. After fleeing from Nebkuma into the Dead Wilds, Marcus had stumbled upon the same tree that the party had previously encountered. Marcus went into the tree and met this creature that bestowed many powers on him after a series of trials, and with that, the four of them continue their journey to Ellenboro. The rest of the journey goes by smoothly, except for the night of the full moon, where Jack is chained up to a massive stone molded by Marcus and Beradin as he has an unrestful night in his werebear form. When the party arrives at Ellenboro, they realize that several buildings and some of the walls have sustained damage, but the people of Ellenboro seem to be in cheerful moods and dressed in a nicer fashion. The party arrives at 68 Hemlock Lane to find their house completed and fully stocked, and laying in the fifth cabana, enjoying the grotto and some sun is Rakkesh. He tells the party briefly about his adventures and catches them up a little bit on what he learned from Arannis. Eager to check out his inn, Jack suggests everyone head to the Torrid Hound and invites Arannis and Bates to do the same. On their way to the Torrid Hound, a young kid, Pearson Jay Braxton, approaches Jack, Flynn, and Rakkesh and wants an autograph for their victory during the Harvest Festival Tournament. With the realization that they may have fans now, everyone continues their journey to the inn, where Dunekin greets Jack and gives the party a few notes that had been sitting there waiting for them. Jezebel pours some rounds for the party, and eventually, Arannis and Bates show up. Arannis tells everyone how he, Bates, Norm, Douglas, Jared, and Big V all helped restore peace to Ellenboro. Norm was now running the city and had given the entire wealth of the keep to the city. Big V supplied the city with relief in the form of food and medical supplies during the riots, and Arannis had been doing research on Thordash, and keeping in touch with everything that was currently happening with the war. Beradin asks Bates if he knows anything about the All Hammer and he explains that he had once searched out such legendary artifacts before but had no luck in finding them. However, recently he had found out through his research that he believed there was a temple to Moradin beneath Milburn Lake where the All Hammer might be located. And with that, it was decided that Beradin, Jack, Marcus, and Rakkesh would head out in the following days with Bates to locate this temple, while Flynn would assist Arannis in his research.
