Session 15
Synopsis
The group spent the evening after the day before discussing the events at Tor Wessenir, the items uncovered, and the loss suffered by the party with Hrolf Amarok's disappearance. With one lost companion, they gained a potential ally and travelling companion - the prisoner of blue crystal known as Raziel. The party rested up at the Golden Buoy Tavern, and met a few interesting people, and offered to take a message to Dwardle from a young messenger called Ilexandi - who seemed interested to get a move on towards his destination of Vol - though Zeed may have more insight into the true intentions lying there.
Investigating the tavern, the group discovered a motley collection of postcards and artwork left by prior patrons - images of towns and landmarks across the world, including The Library of Tundmatusse, Abbatchtka, Torystra, Calmore, Talan, and the ruins of the Ahne Oasis. One, that of the Library, was noticed by Zeed and Luna Redmore to have The Citadel's mark on it, and a single word on the reverse - Mourne.
Through discussions, the group have decided to follow Bugo's path towards the famous Magical library near Dwardle.
After nearly a day's travel, the group met with a flamboyant illusionist called Mephistophales Moonbeam who has business with the knowledge kept in the library, but is not considered eligible for entry. He told the party that the library takes knowledge for payment - that an unique book would be a sufficient price to cross the threshold, and that he could proffer his first edition copy of Criskira and Domash's treatise of the History of Tiamat as a suitable entry token. Unable to truly discern Mephistophales' intention, the party attempted to convince the illusionist of their prowess and barter for items, with Benjimaru impressing the travelling magician with his goodberries. Moonbeam then left his campsite, teleporting via his magical map and leaving the party finishing their journey to Dwardle.
