(first day of summer); 9:30 am The adventurers leave the lighthouse and head north
up the High Road to Neverwinter city on their way to get to Thundertree to
visit the druid Reidoth. The make it to Neverwinter city safely and head
for the Driftwood tavern run by Madame Rosene, to stay over night. Roqar, while laying a gold piece on the counter
for whiskey, that’s 3 coppers a glass, asks Madame Rosene about a room and
finds out it’s 1 gp a night and includes breakfast. Madame Rosene, inquires about what brings them
to town and if they have seen the green dragon that is making the city edgy.
Roqar mentions they are in town to sell some stuff and find some magical help
with other things but no one in the party has witnessed the green dragon yet. Willie, buys whiskey for everyone else in the
party. Madame Rosene points out When the lizardman
wizard, to Roqar, saying that he might be able to help the party out. So Roqar
goes over to him inquiring if he can detect and identify magical items as well
as open magically locked chest. When the wizard tells her that he is unable to
do what she ask but could make an item or creature bigger or smaller. When,
then mentions he could do research on the item in the city’s library. Madame Rosene mentions that there are plenty of
other wizards in the city, known as the council of the Many Starred Cloak; Ophala
Cheldarstorn, Gyrion, Kabal, Lukan & Nostura. The city is run by them more
than by Lord Nasher Alagondar. When the wizard, asks to see an item that needs
to be identified and Roqar hands him the great sword found in one of the
shipwrecks. He proceeds to smell, taste and touches the sword with his ear. Rolling an arcane check of 20, he is able to
discern the sword is of dwarven craftsmanship, made by a well known forger from Gauntlgrym, that
wizards sought out to craft magical weapons for them. When, offers the others to tag along to the library
but winds up going alone. Roqar , ask Madame Rosene about a place for gambling
and she points her to a place, and Roqar goes there looking for a fence
operation. While, playing blackjack at a table Roqar inquires
to the dealer about, if he knows of merchants that buy or sell stuff that may
be worth more to someone else. The dealer points her to the market square in
town, then mentions if she’s looking for a guild to find Elwin the bookseller
there. Once there, Elwin informs her to head to Whiskey Dick’s tavern and
inquire there, which she does. Dolores, copies the spider climb spell into her
own spellbook and then tagged along with Roqar to the market square to buy spell components.
Roqar, goes alone to Whiskey Dick’s. Roqar goes there the following morning looking
for Gwendolyn the owner, and says to her, “I’m
looking for a particular club so that my doing business here won’t cut
into the clubs business.” Gwendolyn tells her she came to the right place
and it’s 5 gold pieces a month to join. Roqar pays the 5 gp and tells her that
she may have some items to sell in a day or so, as she is with a group of
adventurers in town inquiring about things acquired. Gwen tells her when she
brings the items in, they will look into it for her. Before, When heads off to the library Farren,
lets When have a look at the cloak from the wreck. When does the same routine
with it as he did with the sword. When, rolls a 17 on an arcane knowledge check
and discerns that it was made by a wizard that specialized in making fancy
magical capes for people. Farren, goes outside the city walls into nearby
woods to gather plants, of which he finds enough for 5 bundles. When, goes to the library and finds that this
particular cape is called the cloak of many fashions. The cloak is able to
change the style, color and apparent quality of the garment and that it’s
weight never changes. Regardless of it’s appearance, it can’t be anything but a
cloak. It could be made to look like other magical cloaks but cannot gain their
magical properties. When could not find any information on the sword
other than a book naming some of the dwarven forgers in Gauntlgrym. Farren went into the Protector’s enclave part of
Neverwinter city, looking for the building where the Council of the Many
Starred Cloak, would likely do their daily city management business and after
being greeted by a servant at the door is told that Ophala Cheldarstorn, is
available. Farren is lead into a guest chamber waiting room, and offered some
tea to drink, of which he drinks, while waiting. When Ophala, arrives, Farren is lead into her
office where, he shows here the magically locked chest. Ophala mentions she does have a spell prepared
that could unlock it and is seen to cast a dispel magic, as she utters the
magic words and does some somatic motions. Ophala, then tries the lock and the
lid comes open. Inside is a black cloth wrapped around something and she
removes the item, unwrapping it to reveal a rod of some sort with galloping
horses sculpted at both ends and a button at one end. Ophala presses the button and next thing she
knows is that it remains fixed in mid-air, where she holds it, even after
letting go of it. Ophala grasps the rod again and presses the button. It’s able
to be moved again an she wraps it back up and places it back in the chest. She
tells Farren, she’s not sure what you could use it for. Farren thanks her for
her time and pays here the 10 gold pieces, telling her it was found in an old
abandoned mansion, (The woodland manse in the Neverwinter woods which the
anchorites of Talos occupied). Farren questions Ophala on the Green Dragon
before he leaves. She tells him they get reports daily since it is known to
reside in Thundertree to the east, but that the White Dragon has not been seen
up this way yet. The next day, they head for Thundertree, a small
town ruined by the eruption of Mt. Hotenow, to visit Reidoth the Druid.
Gradually, the trail becomes an old, overgrown
lane winding between dilapidated buildings choked in vines and brush. Ahead of
you, in the middle of the settlement, rises a steep hill, upon which stands a
stone tower with a partially collapsed roof and an adjoining cottage. A dirt
road hugs the base of the hill and wends its way between old stone houses, many
of which are roofless ruins with interiors open to the weather. Other buildings
appear more or less intact. The whole place is eerily silent.
