Next Session | Nineteenth Session |
The party started with breakfast at The Grand Kizil Hotel. News that the "lead lined box" had arrived was the first breakfast news. Then, things were briefly interrupted by Saduakas Yermek and Erbol Aidos who had much to report on their recruiting efforts. They reported that they had set up a rally for later in the evening outside of the walls in the shantytown area of the city.
The Flying Dutch Man
During this eventful morning, an envoy from Kiskentay, Dutch Dauren arrived seeking to know the whereabouts and well-being of Mama Tess. Dutch, being very relieved to see Mama Tess in good health explained that he was sent by the Queen Mother of Karazalik herself as an envoy to secure her release from the Garis Triumvirate. He said that the Garis Border Patrol told him that Mama had been released from custody and directed him North to Kizil. (how did they know?)
Danger Will Robinson!
While upstairs administering to his sorcerous studies, Obsidian Black started to notice unusual behavior from one of the Memes of Aspan. Eventually he opened it to reveal that it was displaying a message. Without translating, the distress seemed to indicate that there was some sort of an emergency at a specific location on the riverbank east of Kizil. Sticking to his work, Obsidian Black passed the message to the rest of the party without going down to talk to them.
A Fish out of Water
The rest of the party moved on to see what the trouble was and mounted their beasts for a ride a small distance east of the city. When they arrived they discovered a number of things:
- A curled up and physically exhausted water genasi (builder)
- A very agitated red dragon flying south down-river and chasing some sort of creature (which was out of site).
- A gnashed up magical shield, obviously the property of the water genasi but damaged by something exceedingly strong.
After some healing and mending from Mama Tess and Sarani Devalinth the restored genasi introduced herself as Mira Nephilim. She explained that she had been living in the ocean quite peacefully when this murderous creature invaded her world. It fought and chased her into the river delta and up river for days. It was night invincible. Near dead of exhaustion, she crawled up on shore awaiting her fate.
The party could see, off in the distance, a large red dragon infuriated at something in the water far down river. It was making repeated attacks at the water with its talons and roaring in anger as only dragons can.
Potion and Magic Shopping
The party picked up some healing potions and other magic which included a bag of holding. Meanwhile, Sarani Devalinth, eying an expensive knickknack, considered committing suicide by attempting to cast a spell in a magic shop. Fortunately, she was unable to reach Loki for her power and was spared the repeated forms of death that would have been her due... for now.
Obsidian, Sorcerer Scientist
Through various experiment with flaming porter breath and scorches to [[Panamon Cree}}'s floor, Obsidian Black was able to cast a miniaturized version of the Circle of Draconic Breath Absorption, which is already forming in his imagination. The tiny circle, scrawled into a metal shield, was able to redirect fire-breath damage into the shield holder, Mira Nephilim in the form of primordial energy, which she was able to absorb. It is not known how many more times, if any, the shield will continue to demonstrate this power.
