Game Events
Upon their return to Magepoint, the group met with Agath, Celeste and Eligos who had not been idle whilst the party had been adventuring far to the south.
Several of Balakarde's notes had been found in Tenser's library, indicating the city of Allhaster far to the north as the next logical place to follow the Age of Worms prophecy.
A book by a priest of St Cuthbert called Rhosk noted that the Ebon Triad had been originally founded in Allhaster, but was all but destroyed when the current ruler, Prince Zeech, secceded to the throne two decades before. One of the main reasons the cult was destroyed was an Elven spellcaster named Lashonna.
Ballakarde's notes suggested that he was going to speak to Lashonna, and also check out the priest Rhosk (even though he had not been heard of since then) and he was also going to try to locate the original hideout of the Ebon Triad cult.
Ellan teleported the party to the outskirts of the city, and after managing to bribe their way past the corrupt gate guards the party found reasonable accomodation in a tavern near to the arena.
Asking around, the group discovered where Lashonna lived, and went to pay a visit, only to be politely turned away by the guards on the gate who advised them that Lashonna was not receiving visitors for at least a couple of months. He also told the characters that she would be attending the Prince's banquet at the end of the week, and if the group were able to obtain an invite then they could speak with her there.
More investigation led the party to a merchant who had been given the responsibility of allocating any spare invitations to the Prince's celebration, and Ellan managed to impress him into providing the group with invites on the condition that Ellan himself would be held responsible for the actions of his friends.
With a week to kill, the group explored the rest of the town. Due to some extreme law enforcement by a flock of angels backed up by large and nasty hobgoblin guards there was surprisingly little crime, but the general feeling the group got was one of general resignation and oppression.
Locating the ruins of the temple of St Cuthbert, the party ignored a 'Keep Out' message and entered only to be confronted by an angel who teleported herself into the ruins a few minutes later and instructed them to leave. Restraining Eolias, the group did as they were bid and moved on to the temple of Hextor where they introduced themselves to the somewhat innefectual high priest.
Following rumours of a lair outside the walls that had until recently been occupied by a Black Dragon the party set out to explore, only to be ambushed by four young adult dragons who 'encouraged' the group to enter the lair and defeat the monster contained within which had proved resistant to their acid attacks.
Readily agreeing, the party entered and were attacked by a strange acid ooze hybrid,.
Melee attacks on the creature caused acid damage to the attacker, so it was mainly left to the spellcasters to defeat the creature, but not without cost.
Volon bore the brunt of it's attacks, and was reduced to 1 strength and Ellan lost most of his magic items to it's acid attack. Ellan decided that the best course of action was to teleport both Volon and himself back to the tavern to recouperate whilst the rest of the party searched the lair and returned on foot.
Searching uncovered two strange potions which were later identified as providing permanent stat boosts to Constitution and Strength and to Charisma, but finding nothing else the party exited the lair and went to report back to the Black Dragons.
Erupting from thier hiding places in the nearby river, the dragons ambushed the party and sprayed them with their acid breath, causing many of Eolias' magical items to melt, as had Ellan's earlier.
After several rounds of combat, the battered party managed to slay three dragons and drive off the last one before returning, battered but victorious, to the tavern.
