Adventure Summary

An elderly man with a long white beard, long robe, slippers, and a pointy hat introduced this adventure. He wanted a party to find an artifact that had the power to control a water dragon (a sea serpent) that was currently rampaging up and down the cost destroying shipping. Last time the object was seen it had been eaten by the dragon. We were given a brief description of the object but for more information we needed to find one of the party that had found it, a tempester (winged elf) called Verdant. He had been involved with the Cult of the One Horned God in Restholm but he had left and headed for the mountains. Rumour also had it he was quite mad.

02/10/93

After making preparations we were told to meet Himajere on the docks at midnight. He had arranged for a ship to take us to Restholm. When we got there the ship wasn't there but suddenly appeared at midnight. The entire ship was magical we discovered that it sailed between planes.

03/10/93

Just after we arrived on the plane of Serinoc, for some strange reason, Tussock took the tiller from the black cloaked helmsman, who immediately disappeared. Then we found Tussock was stuck to the tiller. As dawn arrived, the ship began to fade. We managed to detach the tiller from the rest of the ship and abandon ship in one of the lifeboats before the ship vanished. Reached Restholm. The local blacksmith couldn't remove the tiller from Tussock. Followed Himajere to the prince's palace where we were staying. Visited the temple of the One Horned God. Got a description of Verdant and discovered that he had gone north in search of 'Those that hide away' or 'The Hidden Ones', located somewhere past the White Lands.

04/10/93

Decided to leave Tussock in Restholm 'for her own good'. Made our preparations then started going north by FireFlights. Reached a spot be a stream and camped.

05/10/93

Landed somewhere near Trail's End. Discovered that we weren't very far from the orcish war. Next hop brought us to the mountains. Encountered some dwarves. We had to be blindfolded for the trip to the underground dwarf city.

06/10/93

Reached the city of Stonehelmshire. The dwarves had seen a flying form going north a while ago. Also we discovered the White Lands were north east of here. The White Lands are inhabited by the Ellyon, a small faerie like race (Do not refer to them as pixies). Exited the city, reached the surface and continued fireflighting. Detected something invisible and sentient was watching us but it got way before we found out what it was. Next hop took us over a dense forest and we landed in a glassy clearing. The resulting fires were put out but the Ellyon we met were rather annoyed. After explanations we were taken to a treehouse where we partied then rested for the night.

07/10/93

This time we shadowinged to the Ellyon city where we met with Princess Serissa and her consort Rainbird. Rainbird knew of Verdant and he was in a monastery in the nearby mountains. The group was called 'Those That Stand Aside'. Had lunch at the palace then ended up entertaining various Ellyon that afternoon. Dinner was also at the palace.

08/10/93

Went to the monastery. Since they didn't like women, the males of the party went in to see Verdant. They got a description of the item and also discovered that the serpent lair is on an island, Mages Island, 300 miles off the coast of Restholm. Left the monastery and stayed the night at Princess Serissa's palace.

09/10/93

Flew off with shadowwings, accompanied by Rainbird, and reached farmland near the dwarven mountains. While at camp, a small bedraggled duck arrived and attached itself to me.

10/10/93

Next hop, by fireflight, took us to Covenhold. Rainbird left us on the trip. That night the inn was attacked by a twelve foot high gargoyle with wings. We managed to defeat it but the innkeeper was killed.

11/10/93

Circumstances forced us to leave the duck behind as we fireflighted away. Landed near Restholm and reached there before nightfall.

12/10/93

Somehow the duck caught up to me. Talked to a dolphin who knew where the lair was. Himajere theorised that the duck used to be a wizard's familiar who was looking for a new wizard. A ship and crew were organised to take us to the island.

13/10/93

Arrived near the island. Went ashore and entered a small cave. Attacked by hellcats. Bypassed warded steps and entered a pool at the bottom. Swam into cavern and found artifact in sea serpent droppings. Tried to leave back the way we came but were attacked by a tattooed, dark cloaked, four armed individual and the duck. Defeated the person but the duck got away. Finally swam out the undersea passage. A dolphin told us that the serpent was coming so I went to warn the ship while the others went for higher ground. Couldn't find the others when I returned so I helped take the ship to safety.

14/10/93

The others explored the ruins on the island, which used to be a mages lair. Finally they were driven off by some ghosts but not before retrieving some books, two hellkittens, and a magical sword. Then they stacked shadowwings on top of fireflights and managed to reach the mainland and made their way to Himajere's tower. When the ship finally arrived in, I reported to the Prince then made my way to Himajere's tower.

20/10/93

Had to wait until conditions were right for Himajere to create a portal to the Guild. He missed and we, including Tussock, ended up in the other side of Seagate. So we walked back to the Guild, were debriefed by Security, and received our rewards.
