Trappings in Blue

On the way to the Listrith estate, closer to the end of the journey rather than the end, the party came across a scorched area, spotted with white spots filled with a crystalline powder. In the scorched areas there were burned down wicker mans in varying degrees of consumption.

As the group came closer a trap was sprung, entrapping Arthur and Kromal and pulling them under the earth. As they were pulled in through hidden crevices a voice sounded to boom. ‘Go in, join the game. At the end there will be treasures, and your friends.’ Debating for a couple of seconds whether they actually should, and getting attacked when Tara tried to Scry on Kromal they entered the cave. After a harrowing gauntlet of vicious traps, intermingled with more vulgarities and curses levelled at the kobolds than need to be repeated here the group finally came to the final room.

Once they entered there they saw who masterminded this ordeal: a blue dragon, named Perdix. After making sure Arthur and Kromal where safe, and getting their magic items, the group went to sleep. Not being a sleeper herself Tara spend a part of the night talking with Perdix. Turns out the dragon was  aware of the Great War and was starting to test defenses for when the Giants approach. He also had encounters with Grey Elves before but the grey elf regrettable died before he could be interrogated further. Tara briefed Pendir on the exact dates, places and times the giants will resume the war. Giving Perdix much to ponder on, Pendir left and Tara then got a message from Sina from Ael’Tas, warning her that the Valyrian family was put on trial in 10 days, and the party has until then to find evidence for extenuating circumstances. Tara acknowledged, and asked Sina to commission a staff of blue glass.

With renewed haste and vigour, the group marched on the Valyrian manor, where currently Meicorils cousin had taken up residence. The clock is ticking.
