A crowd has gathered to hear Father Thorn, leader of the Scions of Amber, speak about the status of the rebellion against the Dragon rulers. His speech tells that the revolt is at a dead end. The crowd murmurs over this news. Father Thorn holds up his hands to quiet the crowd. He then tells that there is a plan to forge the greatest dragon slaying weapon of all time. The crowd cheers the news with much vigor.
Just then, a female dragonborn bursts through the door apologizing for her lateness to the meeting. She tells that the travel times, with all the patrols out looking for anyone who opposes the Green Duchess, being what they are that she couldn't make better time. Father Thorn looks at her with disgust and says Zasheena, leader of the Shadowkiss, and her kind, cutthroats and parasites, weren't invited.
She looks at us and thanks us for saving the child of Nandrel and helping his agent in Marrauk. She tells of her plan and that if it should work she would need the dragonbane amber -- all of it! She tells her plan of creating a poison that replicates itself and infesting the local drinking waterways, drinking holes and livestock to poison the dragons. We, convinced of the thoroughness of the plan, inform Father Thorn that he should take this opportunity to complete this rebellion and take the fight to the dragons.
We board a ship and set sail for Lylar named the Dazzling Courier. Lylar pirates are a large part of the talk in Returned Abeir, so when we run into them, it wasn't very surprising. The surprising part was that their ship was transparent and most of the crew were too. We make a deal with Captain Ghedrinn Lassan after besting our best fighter in one-on-one combat. The fight wasn't to the death, but to when the other had become bloodied with wounds.
We reach Lylar and Zasheena's laboratory where we are to prepare the poison, but find the place in shambles. Apparently her lab assistants were performing an unauthorized experiment that went awry and after scolding them to get the place back up into working condition, we help her fix her notes on how to create the poison. All goes smoothly and we soon depart to infect the nearby aqueduct supplying the drinking water.
We make it to the entrance and find the place in darkness, once our lead fighter cracked his sunrod and moved forward a bit, our cleric warned us of sounds of monsters preparing an ambush. We run into two Talons of Tiamat, two Drakkoth Venomshots, and one Greenspawn Godslayer. We take out the Talons first, and then the Godslayer, and finally finish off with the two Venomshots, who have a nasty blast. We press forward and complete our mission to introduce the poison into the aqueduct water system. Once complete, we head back to the laboratory.
No sooner are we back than we set off again with more poison giving to agents and explaining how they are to infect the nearby water and food systems. After this task is complete, we have one poison satchel left. We are to poison the local watering hole of the Green Duchess herself. We set out immediately and poison the hole, we then recognize the timing and set ambush for the Green Duchess. When the green dragon shows, we jump upon it with such ferocity, that it is defeated within a couple seconds. The poison had done its thing, making the dragon easier to slay. However, a black dragon with bones showing through its skin came and told us that we had slew the Green Duchess's daughter and that we had earned places upon its hunting list from now until eternity. The dracolich then grabbed the body of the green dragon and hauled it away towards the Green Duchess's lair.
We ended there. Still don't understand why the dracolich didn't kill us right away. I'm sure it could have.
Anyway, until next time, safe gaming and have fun.
