10) Evening in the tavern: clarifications and new perspectives

Our heroes finally return to the tavern, and Leonard decided to celebrate by offering a drink to all present, earning the goodwill of everyone, especially the old Elian: "To seal the our success, and a further agreement with Lord Padraig happy again, tonight I offer a drink to all present! "

Meanwhile Gardland ask around about buying a telescope and torch Everburning" on behalf of Leonard unfortunately in vain.

Valthurn finished the reading of many volumes of the library tower, and asked the group to hear what he discovered. Generations that are now the "guardians of the tower" of Winterhaven were not aware of the facts that he discovered: especially after the years that succeeded the plague of spells, which badly hit the guard tower at the time, the guardian was assigned by the mayors rather than passed down by family.

Fortress Kalarel mentioned in the letters are probably the ancient fortress of Sir Keegan, built a few miles from Winterhaven, barely visible from the top floor of the tower. Sir Keegan was a very famous dragon hunter who was hired a few hundred years ago the empire Cormyr Shussurru to defeat the dragon. Being lower in combat skills, Keegan drew the dragon in his stronghold, and then trapped in the plane of the shadows with a powerful spell.

Apparently the Empire decided to spread the word of the death of the dragon, creating a false burial site, although the legends on the mystery of his death are still there in memory of the old nursery rhymes and they tell children about " fortress on the blanket of darkness. " As a precaution also almost a thousand years ago the empire he built the tower of Winterhaven, which apparently had a role in guarding the fortress, where Shussurru had managed to free himself, but the lyrics are not very clear on this.

The Chronicles stop on the issue with the reports of which files have been transferred to the fortress tower of Winterhaven. Sir Keegan, who was chasing Shadraxil, son of the dragon Shussurru, for mysterious reasons he went mad and killed his wife and children, who lived in the tower. Also drove all and threatened to kill anyone again within those walls. Latest scribes speak of him out of his mind that he had taken refuge in the crypts of the fortress.
About Shadraxil, it seems he has destroyed the fort just before the plague of spells, and by recent sightings of some 50 years ago, the undead dragon, a dracolich.

Kalarel If what you wrote is true, the powerful shadow dragon is going to be free again and Valthurn feel empowered to do something because the thing happen. Therefore asks the group to go and check the situation at the fort, he will speak with Padraig for a reward and in any case he will be grateful to Dan and providing Hoverbeth rituals.

addition to the two eladrin always asks for help deciphering the texts, which gladly accepted. The group then decided that the next day Kaliber, Gardland and Leonard will perform an inspection of the fortress.

Towards the end of the evening are approached by Gazbari, the bard, who congratulated them for the good and unlikely undertaking, offering to settle their praises in the future, and if requested by all, especially of Elian, then delight the audience with a song about a group of brave heroes of the past that despite the difficulties they managed to save the world:

Far and 'legend, thousands of moons ago
When the gods visit the world still
heroes have saved the same civilization '
defeating the most evil of the abyss' depths.

was a time of great magic and power, The heroes knew
tame supernatural
living dead and they were afraid Dragons
Seekers entered the chaos elemental!

A Druid, a Paladin bold
a magician who burns out, another who knows Charming,
a leader and his follower,
I am old demons managed to eradicate.

places of fire and fog is said,
markets magical tradition infinite
undead enemies not of this earth,
legendary gladiators and play the game.

But the five astute investigators
No evil they managed 'to stop,
And only the wise know the ancient treasures
Bahamut who harbor them' to find !

A disciple of dragons, an irascible wizard
a warlord and his cohort,
-Falco A man and a Paladin incorruptible
Among the legions of hell have sown death.

is told of pyramids and fortresses dark magic
seekers are said to withstand divinity '
And that strong elves and angels followed them into the adventures
As this and 'legend and how much and' truth?

Codest seekers are gone?
tried What I do not know, but maybe they found
Among the stars, or in other worlds have withdrawn
Legend seekers and now 'the past ...

A victorious general, A Wizard of explosive energy,
Warrior Spooky, a manipulator of fate,
Druid A Thousand Faces .. aided by the magic
inherits a business' legendary we have left ..

After collecting the applause of those present, Gazbari again approached the group, particularly Leonard (which has a partnership for some time) to explore for offering him a place on which he has collected information provision a set of caves relatively near Winterhaven, where there seems to be a community of monsters, the Minotaur, devoted to an obscure demon named Baphomet. As a reward

Gazbari mentions a scepter, scepter of the fate of the dragons, which seems to have belonged to a powerful sorcerer of the past. He lost almost all power after the plague of spells, but is still considered a relic from some dragons. In return calls for all information and any magic items "of yore" that the group be able to find (not mentioning the rest of the booty, the group is determined to keep everything else). The group was intrigued, but also adds Gazbari aware of the pressing issues related to threats at Winterhaven.

Finally, after a long day, the group finally takes a well earned rest.
