Adventures

## Session 1

#### The 4th day of the 1st tenday of the month of Tymorus in the 2437th year.

As dawn broke over the Island of Xziti the party crept through the crumbled streets. Their contact, Erazck, had arranged a meeting with Xatzan the Earth Ward at the border between their respective districts. The party laid an ambush in the predawn light and prepared for their meeting. As Xatzan arrived she immediately felt something was wrong and made a move to exit the square. The party moved from their hiding spots and attacked. Xatzan shifted her form to that of a purple worm and attempted to fight back. The party defeated her and retreated back to their safe house within the city. They remained hidden there for the remainder of the day.

#### The 5th day of the 1st tenday of the month of Tymorus in the 2437th year.

The leaders of the Silver Spear met with the party. Erazck confirmed that the take over of the agricultural district was moving ahead as planned with Xatzan out of the picture. They decided that the best option would be to strike at Cherrad the Machiavellian and remove the magical threat to the resistance. The party arranged to coordinate a distraction with scout Orym and set out. As they approached the elemental gardens they distracted the guards with a small fire and some magic. Their prepared distraction appearing to have not had the desired effect. The party scaled the walls of the garden and entered its paths. As they moved through the garden they discovered a sigil on the floor of a temple that radiated a magical aura. They damaged the image to the point where the magic faded. They also managed to destroy the gardens gateway to the earth elemental plane (a magic stone totem) in a conflict with some earth elementals. The party encountered and engaged Cherrad and narrowly defeated him. In doing so they raised the alarm and they were forced to flee. As they fled they were separated with each being forced to find their own way out. Each of them successfully made their escape over the next 12 hours and they regrouped back at the safe house. They remained their until the following morning.

## Session 2

#### The 6th day of the 1st tenday of the month of Tymorus in the 2437th year.

The party awakens in the safe house after the successful assassination mission of Cherrad the Machiavellian. Chatek calls for a meeting upstairs (minus Mielikki who is sleeping). Xerax, Ezrack and Silver Shaman Chatek are the main speakers at the meeting. Explaining that thanks to the death of Xatzan the Earth Ward, the people will be strong enough to rebel in a weeks time. Chatek Wyrmspeakers held up in the temple in the center of town. The temple only has one entrance guarded by 200 guards and cultists. The hero's had a week to prepare some efforts were more useful than others. Moonspear (Orym) arrives during that week and claims he didn’t get the message
to light the distraction fire when the hero's were attempting to sneak into the Elemental Gardens.

The day came to Siege the temple, Moonspear (Orym) released the armored dinos and the hero's charged the temple through suffering and chaos. They were met with solders and cultists wearing, red an black war paint, and bearing a symbol of an eye with a line through it. Mielikki casts Ice storm at the enemy force with little effectiveness, and our hero's are falling to rally the masses and push through to the temple effectively

Then suddenly First Spear Xerax jumped in changing the tide of battle. The hero's breached the door
of the temple and The First Spear Xerax offers to keep the cultists at bay outside as the party charges forward. Running through the monastery cultist surprise the party and deal a heavy blow to their resources but are defeated.

The hero's enter an ornately decorated room with a raised platform with a large pit in the center with 4 statues of dragons; there is a gold barrier and a green hue from the center of the pit with a hunched over figure standing 8 feet tall. The figure is revealed to be the last remaining warlord Chatek Wyrmspeaker and the battle begins. During the fight a beholder came to aid the warlord turning the tide of battle. Chatek Wyrmspeaker is cut down as the beholder devastates the party of heros, a battle that almost claimed the lives of Elzarr Elgagg, and Fenlen Ellar.

Once beholder was slain and the battle was won, the heroes decide to enter the pit at the center of the room. At the bottom of the pit it is revealed to be the beholders' lair, the beholder was studying a green floating 7" gem. Rocky found and deciphered the Beholders personal journal revealing several important revelations. The beholder was named Zortan the Great Eye and was using the gem as an anti-planner magic ward spanning 3 miles. Zortan was working on this project to build himself a sanctuary from the "child" (was implied Zortan was fearful of) that would bring a terrible storm. Down the pit, the heroes also discovered a large pile of loot and a cage containing an egg covered
with golden scales.

Once out of the Temple our heroes are greeted by the First Spear Xerax who calling a meeting
with Xerax, Ezrack and Silver Shaman Chatek at the safe house. Fenlen refused to go to the meeting instead left to heal the survivors of the city's revolution. The rest of the group went to the meeting, Chatek takes a special interest in the egg. Saying that this egg is the "Golden dragon egg" and that It's never been on the island before, an important symbol of their faith. During the battle, Chatek secured the elemental garden, and the raids in the southern city was a success. Now They rebuild the city and decided that
they want to open the fog gate that previously prevented travel into the
island. Allowing Xziti more of a chance to have and maintain stable economy revolving allowing trade.

### A Year Passes...

The town is cleaned up, Orym lost a hand during the battle and retires the title of Moon spear to live a simpler life. A meeting is held in the monastery. The council decides that they are going to open the fog wall, but will Restore what we can for 2 months the drilling of military tactics and the civilian well being before they do. Once the fog wall is down diplomats are to be sent to different lands for
aid and assistance.

A year has passed and the island Is in good standings as the population increases! Draconic diplomatic relationships between one another are in place securing the safety of the island and the power of Draconia by breeding animals of war to Draconia exclusively for 5 years. 2000 draconian immigrants moved to the island and set up a small port town on the beach. Xziti now has access to trade and powers outside their island.

## Session 3

#### The 2nd day of the 1st tenday of the month of Tymorus in the 2438th year.

The party gathered, and on the word of Elzarr, elected to travel northward to the town of North Stand. A thought spurned by visions of the Traveler Elzarr had received the night before. Choosing to once again employ the services of their ally Diana, captain of the small sloop the 'Sea Bitch'. Before departing the party engaged in general revelry and relaxation at the Broken Crescent Inn.

#### The 5th day of the 4th tenday of the month of Tymorus in the 2438th year.

The party stopped briefly in the port city of Tannic on Draconia for supplies.

#### The 3rd day of the 2nd tenday of the month of Eldus in the 2438th year.

While sailing across the Ardent Sea the parties ship was pulled into a violent maelstrom. This maelstrom was centered around a strange magical anomaly. Entering the anomaly the party found themselves, and their ship, in unknown waters. After a brief encounter with a large tentacled creature the party managed to travel back into the familiar waters of the Ardent Sea via another anomaly. The Sea Bitch barely remaining afloat as they sailed onward.

#### The 5th day of the 2nd tenday of the month of Sunas in the 2438th year.

Arriving in the port city of Grenze in the Kingdom of Galirec the party spotted a shadowy figure watching them at the docks. Kothar attempted to investigate the figure but was unable to track them through the back alleys of the city. The party purchased riding horses and set out along the road to the town of North Stand.

That night the party was set upon by a single assailant. A Drow assassin dressed in dark robs and black leather armor entered their undefended campsite undetected and made an attempt on the life of Elzarr Elgagg. The attempt was foiled by the quick action of the party, saving Elzarr from a near brush with death. However the Assassin escaped, transforming into mist and vanishing into the night.

#### The 6th-7th day of the 2nd tenday of the month of Sunas in the 2438th year.

The party arrived in the town of North Stand and immediately moved to warn Dalsia Gundor, sheriff of the town, of what Elzarr had seen in his visions. Having worked with Elzarr before, Dalsia heeded what he had to say but was loathe to order action without some sort of evidence. Elzarr sought the consideration of the town priestess of Chauntea. Priestess Moana said she would pray to her god and see if what Elzarr said was true. The party retired for the night at the Sleepy Stable hand Inn.

Congruently, Kothar decided to investigate the goings on of the town. After hearing that a messenger to the sheriff was staying at the Inn he camouflaged himself and interrogated the young man. Unsatisfied with the answers he received he set out to find more information. After a miscommunication and minor incident involving the assault and restraint of the towns blacksmith, Samantha Guy, Kothar moved quietly on the stockade where the sheriff held his office. Maintaining the utmost secrecy he moved into the stocked and found himself in the office of the sheriff. Dalisa was distracted by his own work and did not notice Kothar's entrance. Using the iron bands he possessed Kothar restrained Dalsia and obtained the letter the messenger had delivered. The letter was an invitation to Dalsia, asking him to send a soldier or two from the town to participate in the Honor's Day parade in the kingdoms capital. Kothar made his escape, narrowly dodging a crossbow bolt fired by the sheriff and moved to rejoin the party.

#### The 8th day of the 2nd tenday of the month of Sunas in the 2438th year.

The party decided to travel north from the town to find the Drow Elzarr had seen in his vision. Coincidentally this moved Kothar out of the range of the town guard who were searching the town for the assailant in the stockade the day before.

They searched the nearby woods, ending the day by camping next to a Troll cave they had previously visited. Posting sentries to avoid being ambushed again. During the night Elzarr received another vision. This one showing a massive Orcish army marching through the Underdark, lead by the drow lord J'hammathad T'Sarron. Immediately awaking Elzarr woke the remainder of the party and they set out immediately to return to town.

Kothar, skeptical of Elzarr's visions, decided his rest was not worth disturbing. He remained in the clearing until the dawn.

#### The 9th day of the 2nd tenday of the month of Sunas in the 2438th year.

Kothar awoke to the faint sound of drumbeats. Moving towards the noise he found himself bypassing a pack of goblins that seemed to be sweeping through the woods. He eventually came to the base of the Western North-ridge mountains where he observed a large army of orcs, goblins, giants, and a handful of drow, emerge from the beneath the mountain. Within this marching army he saw the Drow lord, J'hammathad T'Sarron, as well as a large orc covered in heavy armor riding a massive white dragon. This army carried banners depicting a red Hand print in a red circle on a field of black. After observing for a time he set out to return to Northstand.

Back in the town, the party had managed to convince a begrudged Dalsia to evacuate the town (with the help of Moana). They were beginning to organize the evacuation when Kothar returned. Kothar withheld his discovery initially and urged the party to abandon the town. Before they could take action a faint drumbeat was heard from the north of the town. Climbing into a watch tower, Rocky observed a coming storm of Orces, Goblins, Ogres, and Giants, marching towards the town. The will arrive within the hour.....
