K,

Hoping to stake out the Brethren of Fate’s monastery, we teamed up with Athyn, a triton rogue.

August 6 - Day 3-4

They each took an item from the large pile of treasure. Gruffudd took the chest of gold and gems, Camwise took a Helm of Reading Magic and Languages, Balthasar took an Elixir of Life, and Dameron took the Staff of Healing.

K,

After purchasing a map of the surrounding lands from the merchant, Arestes, we left Neolantika to circle the northern edge of the Elden Wood, hoping to find more bandits from Krimnos or clues to the missing magic users.

August 6 - Day 3

After escaping from the Sphere of Annihilation, Sertieren clung to Balthasar’s cloak as the Daring Friends took a different route to one of the remaining tombs.

K,

We decided to look for adventure and discovered that people had gone missing. After speaking with the watch, we investigated the house of the most recent victim. The neighbor said her husband heard suitors at the house when the victim went missing. At the temple (Karametra) where the victim worked, the priestess, Thea, told us that the victim worked as a gardener and had nightmares recently. The priestess referred us to a philosopher named Anaxomander who had information of the Nightmare Shepherd.

K,

Since regaining my freedom, I've been toiling away in the docks of Meletis, trying to keep a low profile. But recently the city was devastated by Thassa's wrath. The Twelve have requested emissaries travel to her allies to secure disaster relief in the form of food and supplies for the reeling refugees. When I heard one of those destinations was Neolantika, I felt compelled to sign up. I wonder if I will see you there. Have you moved on? Are you still alive?

August 6 - Day 3

After a short rest, the Daring Friends explored the sacrificial chamber. A statue of a halberd-wielding wearing unfamiliar garb stood to the north. Gruffudd used Thunderwave to destroy the sacrificial circle. Camwise found a map of the grounds and a priest’s journal containing several scrolls (Enervating Light, Dispel Good & Evil, Commune, Raise Dead).

August 6 - Day 2-3

After taking a short rest and exploring the Jabberwock’s cave, the Daring Friends followed the trail back to see Frederick D’Amber with the head of the Jabberwock.

August 6 - Day 2

Waking, the Daring Friends did not recall ever stopping to rest. A wild-looking bearded man stared down at them. Looking around, they found themselves near a small, ramshackle stone building in a clearing with a cave entering a nearby hill. The man spoke in a foreign language while he swung a cudgel in the air.

August 6 - Day 1

Challenging the rock troll, Balthasar dashed atop the log bridge. Dameron hit it with a Sacred Flame as his wolves blasted it with cold breath. Gruffudd hit it with a Thunderwave. Impacted by the cold and thunder, the troll leaped off the log, grappled Gruffudd and Dameron, and took a bite out of the dwarf.

August 6 - Day 1

While they took a short rest in the library, Dameron perused the books on the shelves, noticing one with the image of a sun.

August 6 - Day 1

Balthasar asked Aaqastal about the Castle Amber Miniature and how Rufus is connected to it or the castle.

August 6

In the morning, Camwise cast Contact Other Plane and questioned a being of fire about Aaqastal the Unnumbered, learning what he could for the upcoming duel.

August 5

After two days of flying, the Daring Friends arrived at Brindol as the sun was settings on the night of August 5. Only a few miles from Brindol's western border, the campfires revealed the massive size of the Red Hand horde waiting there. Brindolian workers were hastily retrieving the last of the wheat from the fields and some were being attacked by Red Hand skirmishers. It appeared the Daring Friends had returned just in time.

July 27-August 4

On the morning of July 27, the Daring Friends took off on owls flown by elven riders.

July 25-26

Over the next two days, the Daring Friends made preparations in Brindol.

July 19-24

In the morning, Dameron awoke with a fright at the sight of Balthasar and waved it away as a bad dream. Soon after, the Daring Friends left Dauth along with the three survivors.

July 19-22

After receiving daily updates saying, "The smelters are at work. They will find the truth." on the morning of the 20th they were brought out of their cells to meet Idnerth and another dwarf of noble bearing with a familial resemblance, Idnerth’s well-dressed cousin, Gurhyr.

Unndilar 17, 835

When they woke, the Clockwork Companions discussed a dream they all shared of a soldier crouching over her dead commander in a plaza filled with the bodies of people and monsters. The weight of responsibility settled uncomfortably on her. "Harbinger!" she spits at Alyxian. "War-bringer! Omen! We sheltered you!"

July 18-19

In the morning, Idnerth explained that a tomb a half-day into the mountain needed to be resealed. The Daring Friends, joined by Idnerth and Ssicarus, a yuan-ti sorcerer, headed toward the tomb. Ssicarus sent his invisible flying snake familiar to scout ahead.

Unndilar 16, 835

As the Clockwork Companions headed down the northeast tunnel from the pedestal room, ACHU said he felt closer to Alyxian after having touched the mote.

July 17

Dameron’s Premonition: All that glitters is not gold.

July 16

When they woke, Gruffudd trimmed his beard.

Unndilar 16, 835

ACHU cast Calm Emotions on the assailants, causing all but two of them to turn away from Alyxian’s parents and toward the Clockwork Companions.

July 15

In the morning, the Daring Friends marched on through the ashen rain and difficult maze of broken hills, brier-choked ravines, and massive petrified redwoods that periodically tried to entangle and entrap them. Shadows and other remnants of decaying creatures stalked the area.

Unndilar 15-16, 835

In the morning, the Clockwork Companions visited Jamil, who told them the Allegiance and Consortium were stockpiling Ruidium-infused weapons and asked them to destroy the source of the Ruidium within fourteen days, offering them 2,000 gold coins each if they succeeded.

Unndilar 14, 835

In the morning, the Clock Companions visited Mystic Pursuits where Amkezne lent Tymlor a Sending Stone to reach him, and sold ACHU a diamond crusher.

July 13-14

Camwise woke from a terrifying vision, moaning: “Flee back to your city. Prepare for Takhisis’ vengeance.”

Unndilar 13, 835

In the early evening, the Clockwork Companions descended into Cael Morrow, exploring further until they found a watchtower perched on a high hilltop overlooking the rest of the sunken city. The structure was roughly thirty feet high but appeared to have once been taller and had since collapsed, leaving the remaining structure with a jagged crown of loose-fitting stone. A single stone door led into the tower at ground level.

July 12

In the morning, after the elves departed on their giant owls, Dameron shared a vision: “Taking the path through Dwarf Hold, detours can be worthwhile.”

July 11

In the morning, while praying for spells, Dameron had a Premonition that he would not be able to Dispel Magic on the eggs.

July 9

When Dameron awoke, he recalled his Premonition: “Do not destroy them [the Greenspawn Eggs] in haste—perhaps they may be redeemed. Their destruction would be devastating for your scaled companion.”

Unndilar 12, 835

"Tymlor cast Water Breathing as the Clockwork Companions returned to the depths of Cael Morrow to find the key to Netherdeep.

July 8

In the morning, the Daring Friends felt much better. Protected by his Monastic Austerity, Dameron cast Transfer Exhaustion, absorbing some of the fatigue from Camwise, who began investigating the various components and arcanum, casting Detect Magic and Identify when necessary.

July 7

As the Daring Friends rowed toward Lordrhest, they passed by the region of ghostly presences and saw a tower leaning in the distance.

Unndilar 11, 835

In the morning, they returned to Cael Morrow. At the base camp, Professor Insight indicated that she didn’t know how long it would take to replace the collapsed barrier.

Reverb takes a seat in one of the Lamda shuttle’s cargo holds where he made a makeshift bed for Hest’s unconscious body.

“You would have been proud today, Hest. Trager got captured with the droid on the way from Jaden’s ship and we had to retrieve him.

Things were looking pretty grim for Hest and especially Argunta after their 'negotiations' backfired and the crime boss they were hoping to get in with revealed that they were being traded to the empire. That is until Puppy used his newly acquired jetpack to propel himself with Reverb to the roof of the island villa...well actually 14 meters over the roof, but nothing a little tumble action could resolve.

July 7

In the morning, the Daring Friends set off on their folding boat to Lordrhest. Dameron shared a premonition he had as dawn came: “Not every foe is as they seem, those that walk in shadow may aim for the light.”

July 6

As the giant owls circled overhead, one of the riders called down in elvish. Liolkya responded and they landed.

Unndilar 10, 835

As the Clockwork Companions entered Cael Morrow, Tymlor cast Water Breathing as a precaution.

Unndilar 7-10, 835

From Unndilar 7 - 9, Tymlor acquired scrolls of Water Breathing and Fireball and added them to his spellbook. He also did some research discovering:

July 5-6

In the morning, the Daring Friends reached their destination and moored their boat. The roadblock was to the north, but they headed to a skirmish to the south.

Unndilar 7, 835

Having been contacted by Iwo the previous evening, Tymlor informed his companions that they had been formally invited to join the Cobalt Soul.

Unndilar 4, 835

It was afternoon when Tymlor met his Clockwork Companions at the Golden Chip and informed them that, “Iwo of the Cobalt Soul suspects Kruuk the baker is involved in the illegal sale of dangerous magic items, but needs proof before involving the Hand of Ord. Iwo gave us 250 gold coins to take the job, and promised another 250 for bringing them proof that Old Man Kruuk is selling magic items on the black market and another 250 for each magic item confiscated. They assume Kruuk does all his black-market business after sundown, when the bakery closes and suggests we approach the place after dark.”

Sitting down in front of the ship's holonet screen, Reverb scrubs the stains and machine smell out of his armor. "I'm glad I can finally take this helmet off in front of you all," he smiles. It's a common smile.

July 3-4

In the morning, a dark-haired rider arrived from the east, Teyna, Lion of Brindol, in service to the Lord Jarmaath. She warned that while on patrol sweeping up old the Rhest Trail, they ran into a hobgoblin and ogre roadblock waylaying travelers.

Unndilar 3, 835

"After sifting through the dragon’s hoard and casting Identify many times, the Clockwork companions went to leave the cave only to discover that their rope was missing and the ramp up was wet and slick.

We need to talk! Who’s Zanzu? How could you? The questions swirled around his mind as Reverb paced quickly through the new ship they had acquired from Jaden, knowing he had to confront Hest, but still not knowing what he would say. The tension in his neck and shoulders gripped him. It was worse than when he was face to face with that dark force wielder, or when Tarnok was ambushed by the Sith, or when their squad was almost eaten by that giant killer worm.

July 2

In the morning, Dameron woke with a fright and told his companions of the dream he had in the night, a vision from St. Aster. The hills were covered in every direction by hundreds of hobgoblins, goblins, worg riders, and their weapons of war. A massive red dragon flew overhead.
