Session 62: Demis, Ithronel 3

The group spent some time investigating a bit more about the griffon’s possible assailant at the keep. They determined that the griffon was likely struck by that arrow before they even moved into the keep.

Lennie communed with Selune, and learned that Nidhogg has a home. Her vision suggested that it is somewhere on Glass Island.

Halaema was prepared by the group for the arrival in Shel Alari, so that she would look less “undead”.

Elenion created a code phrase (in case anyone tried to impersonate her): “Where do bees live? Cat’s Cradle Farm.”

The group proceeded to Shel’ Alari, where Halaema for the moment hasn’t arisen suspicion of the guards. She told them that the people accompanying her were in her service, and had tasks to complete at the library and market. The guards informed the group that they have 3 hours to complete everything and leave.

Zannan, through some research discovered a few things about Nidhogg:

1.     She wants to sever the connection between worlds, so as to eliminate places where here enemies (the metallic and gem dragons) can escape to.

2.     She concentrated efforts into eradicating gem dragons first. One famous attack was the one on an emerald dragon mother and her clutch of eggs, a massacre that resulted in the burning of Cathrill 500 years ago.

3.     There are mentions of a ruby dragon, which was the one most feared by Nidhogg. Little is known about this ruby dragon, as there is no name mentioned for it, or any reason as to why Nidhogg is so focused on it, but it is believed that this dragon potentially holds the key to causing Nidhogg harm.

4. This book was signed with a series of symbols, but not in any known language.

Zannan also looked for additional spell books.

Hazel found some basic information on drow and Yemoja (a Goddess of renewal, healing, flow of life).

Meanwhile, Brandybuck and Elenion went to an outfit store (The Outer Shell) to talk to some locals. While there, they met Elerod, a half-elf young male with a very friendly disposition. He immediately offered help to Brandybuck, so that he would get a coat that would make him more accepted at the Golden Clover (the local tavern).

Brandybuck got a fancy coat with golden filigree, and Elenion got a shawl, blue in colour, which changes from dark to light, depending on how far from the ground it is placed.
