Saralas: Session 47
- Where am I?
- Apparently they got really high, went back to the Inn in Lonelywood
- Karthos took a trip on the Astral Plane and met Auril
- Auril claims the winter shouldn't be able to cross to the south, though she has complete control of Icewind Dale
- She claims the winter is to keep a god imprisoned, there is something in a glacier that can help Levistus escape from his prison. Levistus apparently is the dude Avarice, the albino Tiefling, wants to free
- There is a debate about whether to turn aside from trying to stop the winter
- Korag still sees Sunblight as a more immediate threat
- Korag received a letter from the Drow, who remembered us and sent a letter to the Goliath. They will attack on the 12th of Elient and suggest we attack in parallel
- There's some debate on what to do next, maybe win the favor of the ten towns. Good Mead? Bring up a militia?
- Maybe clear the mine in Termalaine next instead?
19th Elesias
- We make our way to Termalaine
- A boy is shouting that the Speaker is offering 50 gold to anyone who clears it out
- Outside the Blue Clam we see two bundled up humans, one waves and says "you seem entirely too well prepared, are you here about the mine".
- He is the Speaker, Masthew. Kobolds have taken over the mine. Additionally, a miner disappeared and there are rumors a monster came up from the underdark. He is offering 50 gold and the gratitude of the town for mine clearing services.
- Masthew doesn't think it really happened, it's just some Kobolds. He offers another 50 gold if we can prove there was some kind of monster other than the Kobolds.
- We try to talk min into not thieving from the ghost. She and Bun are pretty much not listening.
- We make our way through the mine carefully. We come to the bridge over the chasm. Aware of the kobold sabotage, we see two kobolds sawing at the bridge. They see us and scurry off into a cave.
- We make our way carefully across the bridge and take the lift down.
- We find Trex, with his wings. We do not encounter a grell. Odd.
- Min shows off her wings. Trex becomes very agitated and demands to know where she got them.
- There is a lot of arguing and discussing. I ask about the grell, which did attack one of them. They claim they ran it off and it probably ran back to the underdark.
- Min builds a fire and uses mage hand to grab the satchel and throw it on the fire.
- It lights on fire, in all sorts of colors. Trex convulses and collapses. He then regains consciousness and the Kobolds are all talking and helping him. They are talking in draconic. He seems confused.
- Baerwin casts witch bolt at them while this is happening. Trex explodes. The other kobolds start screaming and run out of the chamber. Are they leaving the mine?
- We make our way to the Grell chamber, we see the tracks but we search. We do not find a grell.
- A grell appears directly above Baerwin. He casts Chromatic Orb but it goes right through it. Min was having fun.
- We search the mine carefully but do not find any sign of grell.
- We take the lift down and see a female figure on the other side of the chasm. She is eating an apple.
- Wearing leather gloves, she tosses a crystal in the air and catches it. She says "this little trinket" brings her to the mines. But she thinks we'll have a better use for it. She swan dives into the chasm.
- "See you later" I call.
- Baerwin wraps the crystal in a cloth and places in his bag.
- We return to Town and report our findings to the speaker. He pays us 50 gold.
- The price of mead is high, and when I ask it's becuase of a mead shortage?
- We hear a rumor that if we head northwest out of Bremen we'll see a pirate ship frozen in the ice. "I bet it's full of treasure" a man exclaims.
