Session 66 - Resolving and Parting

18/8/300 (morning)

The party headed off to see Ghesh, the town administrator. They discussed the need to send money back to Carnspor to help with the rebuild of the walls. Ghesh informs them that a group is now being planned to head to the Hall of Knowledge in Baile under the advisement of Hirrathak. Nervein, Mina and Sethrakar have been chosen to travel. Ghesh says that there is a council meeting with Nymbryxion later in the day where a final decision would be made and that both Mina and Sethrakar will be in attendance. Contented with this the party return to the paladin barracks to look at what they will send north.  In the end they resolve to send Stompy back to Baile.

The group go to speak to Hirrathak and end up in a long discussion about item creation. The concept of sympathy is discussed at length. Mina has finished copying the book and the Maccan book is passed back to Elnorin.

Letters were drafted to Aine Stormsword and the Hall of Knowledge. They hear Mina and Sethrakar leave Perra's office so they intercept them so they can ask them whether they'll take them north. They agree and an inventory is handed over. 

Mina and Heskan go for a walk, with Mina seemingly melancholy about leaving for an unknown length of time. 

Sethrakar apologises to Ruric for attacking him, resolving the tension between them somewhat.

Sethrakar heads off to prepare whilst the others talk.

Following their walk, Heskan goes to speak with Nadarr about taking them to a vantage point to look out to the south. Nadarr offers to meet them to the south and Heskan fetches the others. 

The journey takes a short while and the group look out on a clear day. Heskan points out some of the landmarks from his dreams and Braith takes note of the routes they can take. Elnorin takes to the wing to do the same.

Ruric and Braith head back to help prepare food with Bankanir in tow. The others head to wait for Mina and Sethrekar after the council meeting. They turn up slightly early and are pulled into the meeting. Each council member (Perra, Ghesh, Hirrathak and Nala) state their case with Nala particularity vehement that their people should have been out in the world before this. Nervein is present too and Nymbryxion takes the opportunity to tell his son that it is a chance for him to grow too. The great dragon also asks Heskan and Elnorin of their opinion on the Hall and the world to the north. Contented Nymbryxion dismissed the council before speaking briefly with Heskan and Elnorin privately. He wishes them luck on their journey and offers some final words of wisdom to Heskan.

Heskan (with Elnorin) walks Mina (and Sethrekar) to the exit before they are joined by Nervein. The trio leave to the north.

At Shemash's house a small feast is had.

19/08/300

The next day Heskan attends devotion. His father tells him how proud he is of him on the way back.

The group then set out, heading for the 'fire snake' lair. They briefly chat to Drobor asking about what to expect.
